I RP a Hunter!

I've tried making a peasant. They're quite fun. I recommend them to anyone who likes to RP.

My umpteenth try and still have it wrong, (So my current)

Name: If you know it that means you are dead
Race: Nord
skill: Guild master

Expertise:
Speech, lockpicking (only up to unbreakable dont need anything after that), sneak, light armor, archery, one handed, smithing,
my skill hiding in the shadows makes the grey fox look like those thieves running around riften. My bow is Dadrea rated 98 with daedric arrows, i leave a steel arrow across the chest of my contract(s) so you know the one who shall not be named did the bidding.

I do not or will not do magic I hate it, I used it only once to unlock that stupid box to get the eye of magnus. AAHHRR


Just kidding my stats are true but, i am just jocking about the arrow thing


I have almost got it, I think though I will drop the light armor perk and do the enchanting perk. Damn you skyrim for limiting my perks

I've got only one character, but here she is. (Full profile is linked in my signature.)

Name: Alarra
Picture:


Race: Altmer
Best Skills: 100 in Archery, Lockpicking, Light Armor, Smithing, and Enchanting. 97 in Sneak, 87 in One-Handed.
Ranks/Titles:

Current Equipment:

Backstory: Alarra was born on the Summerset Isle to parents who had settled down from their warrior lives to become farmowners. She grew to adulthood, learning some of her parents' skills, and as she learned more about the Thalmor, she decided she didn't want to support them because they're far too extremist. Eventually she decided to leave the Summerset Isle, fearing that her anti-Thalmor views would put her or her family in danger, so she traveled to the mainland of Tamriel, thinking there would be less Thalmor there. She traveled around for a while, mostly Cyrodiil, mostly exploring but occasionally taking jobs as a mercenary. As she was heading north into Skyrim, little did she know about the civil war...

Entry 5


I will most likely open recruitement for a new Faction/Club for the Gilded Chieftains for anyone interested in joining and roleplaying as a brother Chieftain.

Some very nice screen shots everyone.I have no idea how to get screen shots
from my library onto here .. If Could some kind person give me a step by step
guide on it That would be great.

So you've taken screenshots in Steam already, right?
To have them online like this, you need to upload them to a website. I like Tinypic for images I don't really care about/probably won't use again, while I use Photobucket for pictures I may want to delete on my own or for things such as avatars/signatures.
To upload the picture, you need to know where the image is stored on your computer. You can do this by going into Steam, and in your library, where it lists a game's news/etc, scroll down to where it says screenshots, and open your screenshot library.

Then in the screenshot library, click "Show on disk".

This will bring you to the folder where the screenshots are saved when you take them. When you click Browse to select your picture you want uploaded, you can find that folder and upload them from there (For example, on my computer, it's in "C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/userdata/" and then a couple folders with numbers.), or else you can copy-paste them into a different folder and upload them from the second folder instead.

Having completed my goals with last character and really enjoyed the challenge of wearing clothes I've put together a new character.

Amusei, a male Argonian, going to play him as a down on his luck scout with an addiction problem. To this end he must always carry at least one bottle of booze, a tankard or goblet (he's a drunk not an animal) and a child's doll after all you should never drink alone.

You should have him place the doll down on a stump and drink talking to it

Just got done playing on my nord he is a guild master, and nightingale. Got to the Chantry of Auriel and stopped, really considering making a Altmer Paladin inspired by Glebor I have high hopes for him.

Decided to write up my main character now.

Name: Jennifere

Age: 60

Level: 81

Born to a mixed nord/altmer heritage, for which her family was wiped out by the Thalmor, and she fled to cyrodill in the aftermath, via a psijic monk, who told her that her nord heritage would be her glory, and that she was not of mer or men, and she should return home.

The great war interupted that plan, and she fought for the empire, her pyromanic tendencies and desire to take vengenance on the Thalmor put to good use, however, victory was short lived, as she was subject to a secret clause in the WGC, demanding her return to Alinor, for execution. At the execution she escaped, setting fire to most of Alinor in the process, as her firestorm spell got a bit over powered, and prevailing wind conditions saw the fire spread rapidly. She escaped, as everyone was far more concerned about putting the fire out...

After some years of hiding, the thalmor tracked her down, and she fled to Skyrim, where utterly tired from crossing the whole of Cyrodill in 4 days, she passed out. Woke up a few days later to find herself in a cart with 3 nords, headed for Helgen...



Some main quest spoilers here on in.



Thalmor Dossier:Jennifere

Status: Active (Kill), Very High Priority, Emissary Level Approval

Description: Female, Altmer, 59

Background: Jennifere is a high priority target, as she is the last surviving member of the Oleris family (see Dossier:Altmer/lesser race unions, emissary level approval) a traitor to the Altmer, and fought with distinction against us in the First war, and is subject to the secret clause in the WGC. She is a fairly reknowned weapon and armoursmith, and has eluded us repeatedly. Is the dragonborn of nord legend, it would seem.

Operational Notes: She is believed to still be working actively against us within Skyrim, Cyrodill, and Alinor, although we have tracked her to Whiterun Hold, Skyrim. She has links to the Psijic order, the empire in skyrim and the Greybeards of High Horthgar. Her continued existence is an affront to all of us, and puts the Domminion at huge risk. Any information on her whereabouts or activities should be immediately forwarded to the Third Emissary.

Combat style: Note: Her way of fighting is unique amongst mer and man, and almost none have survived a fight with her as the enemy. While what we do know is gathered from her "allies", we have no reason not to belive she is capable of this.

She has two main methods, one is like a dragon, breathing fire, ice, and summoning what she views as her own kind to fight alongside. In particular, she had the red dragon Odahviing fight at the battle of Whiterun, and the undead dragon Durnehviir at the battle of windhelm. She uses weapons and armour made from the bones and scales of dragons she has killed, in what we think is a case of imitation being the highest form of adoration.

The other is that of a master spellcaster, particularly destruction magic, and especially fire, although she is just as capable at any other form of magic, conjuring dremora lords and all forms of deadra.

Either way, her favorite way of celebrating victory is a fire breath shout to the sky.

Name: Alessia

Thats a bosmer..... Could have fooled me.... She looks amazing though.

Well look at that, our characters have the same names

Hopefully I can someday get that good at making NPCs look attractive lol

I'm not big into RP, but I think I might try an Ötzi (aka: the Ice Man/Ice Mummy) character build the next time around. Foresworn weapons are convincingly "stone age" in design, as are Fur, Hide and Foresworn armours. If you ignore the more elaborate soups, stews and fondues, the Cooking activity lends itself well to a stone age diet, and Restoration-based Alchemy is a good fit as well. (Ötzi carried several mushrooms/fungi, presumably as medicine.) Hunting, of course, is perfect for this character. The only real shortcoming is the matter of habitation and Safe Storage. At least there are plenty of unmarked Bandit camps with bedrolls. (PC gamers could incorporate any of the portable "campsite" mods.) When it comes to Smelting/Crafting, it's too bad that there isn't any copper ore in the game, seeing as how Ötzi was pre iron age. However, I don't suppose it's too big of a sin to dabble in iron; sometimes you just have to accept and adapt to what the game offers.

As for a back story, I suppose it could involve fleshing out the "who and why" behind the arrowhead that was found lodged in his shoulder.

Name: Optiak Ular
Race: Orsimer
Class: Vanguard
Skills: Two-handed, Heavy Armor, Smithing, Alteration, Restoration
Personality: He is a somewhat typical Orc; honor, order, and resilience in times of hardship are his primary values.

Empire/Stormcloak: He sides strongly with the Empire, having served in the Imperial Legions during the Great War. He has a hatred for the Stormcloaks and the Thalmor. The Thalmor are obsessed with their supposed supremacy, but at least they are not traitors. An orc never wavers against opposition, and Optiak assumed the great Nordic warriors held the same courage. He lost much respect for the Nords when they turned their back on the Empire so easily. Had their drive been given to the Empire's cause, the Aldmeri Dominion could very well be fought off another day.

Back story: Optiak was a part of a group of Legionnaires from Northern Cyrodiil to aid the Imperial efforts in Skyrim. Before ambushing the caravan that they suspect Ulfric Stormcloak to be a part of, Optiak confronts the captain in charge of the operation, calling her and her fellow Nords cowards in the face of thin and pompous elves. In the ambush, Optiak's men are killed swiftly. They were almost killed too quickly. Then Optiak blacked out with a loud clang echoing in his helmet, making his ears ring and watching the world go black before his face met the ground. He woke up on the caravan along with the Stormcloak prisoners. When an Imperial soldier noticed that Optiak's name was not on the list of planned executions, he brings it up to the captain. The captain, with disgust, sends Optiak to the chopping block, to let his blood trickle out with that of traitors.

When a dragon appears, Optiak is surprised, almost pleasantly, to see that his life is not ending...not yet anyway. He and Hadvar, an Imperial soldier from the execution, escape from Helgen. Optiak obtains some Imperial gear and feels right again. They had to fight their way through Stormcloaks to escape (one of which Optiak picked up and smashed into the stone floor, head first). In Riverwood, despite the town being primarily Nords, Optiak feels a hospitality his people are not usually accustomed to. Sometimes, the Imperial uniform helps him fit in.

He's is carrying out some odd jobs and law enforcement for Riverwood, noticing the lack in armed guard, and is then on his way to Whiterun to honor his promise to Alvor to warn the Jarl about the dragon. Whenever he remembers that great dragon at Helgen, Optiak imagines stories of the Blades, an ancient Imperial order of elite guards and dragon slayers. He would kill to have such an honorable place in the Imperial ranks, if only it still existed.

Goals: Start a family either in a stronghold or in a home of his own.
Earn a few companions to fight alongside with. Few have shown Optiak the true meaning of loyalty. The land of traitors isn't the best place to look but...something feels right about this new land.
Do what he can to aid the Empire and its people.
Increase his skill in smithing and perhaps learn the skill to imbue his metals with magical properties. His father taught him that a true warrior only relies on steel, but Optiak sees magic as only an opportunity for even better armors and weapons. He is even taking a liking to the study of some schools of magic that aid a Vanguard and his brutal fighting style.

Gameplay style: I'm doing my best to roleplay and even act, in some ways. I'm voicing much of what my character does for the first time and I'm really enjoying it. I'm not doing much exploitation (looting everything, levelling efficiently, etc.) and it kind of feels good. Some magic I am only using in certain scenarios. For instance, I only use the "healing" spell near a large fire. It seems like the warmth is restoring his life. I liked how it looked and I'm going to experiment with that idea of dependent magic use.

Well, after trying out many new characters, I have found one I like and am currently playing.

Muro, like your character, but I think he may have been born a hundred years too late.

I'm suspecting I made some huge mistake, I knew I would while writing the backstory, but I couldn't be bothered to research anything.

He's minus 75 years old...

I see what I did.

Huuur. I'll correct that when I can be arsed.

There's a mod for that.
