My Khajiit's great-great-great-great grandson or something? whatever
He will comeback this time wearing either 2 shortsword or one longsword and some conjuration magic.
Wearing self made armour with pelts

I was thinking either a nord or a high elf using two handed weapons and conjuration, named after one of those unpronounceable Icelandic volcanoes.

Nord Male
Axe wielder, light armour, melee oriented.

Nord Male
Bow, axe or sword, light armour, ranger style character.

Nord Male
Longsword, heavy armour, melee.

Bosmer Male
Bow, knife, light armour, assassin.

Breton Male
Some kind of mage.

Maybe some other races too.

My first character that I'm going to do a run of will be an Argonian, because I heart them. Probably standard shield and sword with light destruction skills. Second characters is going to be a Khajiit that I'll run all ninja-y. What a sneaky kitty.
My third will probably be an Imperial, run like a mage.

I never run elves or Bretons, because I hate them.

When I first saw the Orc with the missing eye, I wasn't as impressed as everyone else seemed to be; not to say I didn't think it was cool though

But it led me to wonder how far they'd take the whole scarring/disfigurement thing. I, being boring and vanilla, like to basically play as myself (or a character strongly based on me) which is why I'm always an Imperial and why my first 45 minutes of playing will probably be just trying to get the face right, if Oblivion was any indication. In real life though, I have burn scars covering roughly 40% of my body (torso & right arm). So it'd be really cool if I could put that on my character and make up some really cool back-story for it (much like I do IRL)

Plus I know there are people much more interesting than me who'd like to RP the crap out of this game, and some cool scars would definitely help, even if it was just like anime-esque, cliche "diagonal scar across the face"

If there is a scar system, I'd gladly put scars on my Man toons to more reflect me. Perhaps if someone were to release a tattoo/scar mod later that you could import custom meshes, I'd definitely make a toon with the knife slashes that cover my arms. Never trust a woman with a knife, boys, never trust a woman at all.

More on topic: Scarred up Imperial that uses blunt weapons and is completely averse to blades ever since his psycho exgirfriend decided it to attack him with a kitchen knife because she's a psycho.

She was a psycho!

I started the very first playthrough in both Morrowind and Oblivion with a female Dunmer fighter. I think I'll do the same with Skyrim.

Well I'm usually a classic battlemage or spellsword with a few variations thrown in. Most likley Breton, since i lean towards the magic side. I've also been thinking about a mage assassin type thing. or a marksman skilled in alchemy so he can make his own poisons, or since there is no blade or blunt skill, just one-handed and two-handed, I might have a sword in one hand and an axe in the other. I think I'll just play the game and see what happens :D

I wanted to try something different this time.

Name: Ash Kerr (dragons and all that.)
Race: Breton
Age: 17
Sex: F
Class: Warrior/Mage

Backstory: Ash is descended from my Morrowind/Oblivion PC Ryan Kerr. Raised in eastern high rock by his grandfather as his parents died when very young. He told stories of Ryan Kerr who dissapeared a long time ago. When Ash's grandfather died he set out to make a name for himself. A young mage who got caught up in deadra worship and set out to get an artifact a wizard in Skyrim made to become more powerful. Ash had to use a black soul gem to power the artifact however found out that the wizard was transexual and the artifact while making him more powerful turned him into woman. The guards arrested her shortly afterwords for the murders and use of black soul gems.

Just what I was thinking...

Anyway, as a tribute to the region of Skyrim, I plan on making my first character a Nord warrior. Near-bald, scruffy beard, a little scarrage here and there, carrying dual axes. I used the wiki for names: he'll be Jorundr, Tolgan, or Skjoldr, followed by Ice-Fang, Dragon-Eye, or Bear-Arm.

I decided for fun to use story generator to randomise my character gender bender came up had to plan it out using that. Would have prefered something else mind you but still was a fun way to plan a character.

This is my first time posting, so hello everyone.

Personally, I will probably make a... wait for it... a FISHERMAN! Yeah! Because ever since I saw that salmon will be in Skyrim I have had this funny idea:

Basically, I will supply Riverwood - and any surrounding settlements- with a steady supply of fish. And then when I see the dragon I'll say. "Ahh... I'll let someone else kill it." And I'll carry on fishing.

My first serious character will be a jack-of-all trades Nord and I'll just explore and find out how Skyrim works before making my usual set of advanced realism people, such as a peasant, farmer, guard, thief, mage, noble, explorer, hunter and so on.

Hello POMC. Have you introduced yourself here yet? And I think the fisherman is a good idea... lots of money, minimum danger, unless slaughterfish are still around... and I may create a mic take character called "Jim the Crazy" who is a Nord that runs around in a top with a dagger slicing everybody within range... Mwahahahahaha...

Ha! I take it you like Lord of the Rings. Same here. I'm planning to fish near naked with only my fists. Nordic Extreme Fishing!

I'll go and introduce myself, see you around.
