Post subject: | Your Skyrim Character(s) |
Instead of filling up the board with individual threads for each character, post your planned and/or current characters here! Remember to include class ... oh wait no. Tagged attributes ... oh wait no. Birthsign ... oh wait no. Since character builds are radically different from Oblivion and Morrowind, instead include all that you plan to do. Skills, style, name, race, perks, all that good stuff. And remember, while it might be difficult to actually include spoilers, please don't. That means please don't post what quests you're planning to attempt, or the fate of your character in the game. Also, please remember to put any perks you wish to take in spoiler tags, as some of these reveal information about skills. But backstories and so on are all good. Have fun! |

I still can't decide between Dunmer and Breton. Probably will be a spur of the moment decision, but I'm definitely going with light armor and a mace. |

As he tried to become a lich, he failed, and lost all of his power but he became imortal. He ran to some cave, and was now found out by the guards. |

Name: Spartacus Race: Breton Spec: Pure magic, no weapons. (This is Spartacus' ancestor ) I will make it a point not to use weapons nor wear armor. I will wear enchanted robes and try to master as many of the magic tree perks as possible. I wanted to change from the regular hack and slash to a more tactical way of fighting. Instead of swinging a sword or axe, I will use more crowd control spells, combine the spells in each hand, revive the dead to help me fight, summon atronachs, etc. I will also read all the books I find (actually read them) which will be enriching my character with knowlege thus allowing him to become more proficient in magic and learn new spells. I think it provides for a little more immersion. I will take my time exploring and talking to every single NPC. I will try to walk everywhere instead of riding a horse and do my best to never fast travel. I will pick every flower, make powerful potions, buy multiple houses, rule Skyrim!!! |

Race: Khajiit Weapons: Bow and Arrow, Daggers Name: Ri'aiq-Dar Story: Been a cult/thief leader in the homeland of Elsweyr, where he was reigning terror all over the land with his crew. The guild / clan was a band of outlaws, upholding their civil and legal roles at day, and in the night, they would reveal themselves as true terrors upon the world - as deadly as the Dark Brotherhood - with their own laws. He was set up on a mission in northern Cyrodiil, where he was stripped of all his legendary gear, his armor, identification and drugged to the point, where he forgot his true shot archery, his lethal daggers and now must start from scratch, in the land of Skyrim. His memory was wiped with some illusion or conjuration spell by the Empire, who set him up (yet he does not know this, so he hasn't chosen sides yet). Guilds: Joined the Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood. Has no interest in magic or direct combat. Prefers to be silent, cat-like, and prowl on his prey with deadly, lethal blows. Moral: Kill or be killed - only the strong ones will survive. |

When he was sent on campaign to Skyrim however, things changed due to his exposure to difficult living conditions and the hostility of many citizens of Skyrim to the Empire. He started drinking quite heavily, and he became increasingly unruly, until one day he was arrested for insubordination. [Leading to the quest "Unbound."] |

Name:Seanwen Race:Altmer Style:short-sword and magic An ill-natured High Elf, born to simple parents in the town of Bravil. He was always very stolid, but not haughty, for he didn't feel himself superior than any beggar in town. His father was a simple merchant and wanted his son to accomplish something great in life, so he sent him to study magic in the capital. Many years later her mother died due to a disease, so he returned home, but his father vanished, without a single trace. The local criminal factions always welcomed spellcasters, so he sold his father's shop and bought a set of leather armor with an enchanted sword and began his career as an outlaw. Over time he became a resourceful smuggler and powerful mercenary, and his tasks became more and more risky. His latest job was escorting a weapon shipment to Windhelm (some rebellious organization ordered the arms), but the imperial legion arrested him at the Skyrim border and sentenced him to death and ...well, you know about the rest... |

Author: | Brannarch [ Thu Nov 10, 2011 9:50 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Your Skyrim Character(s) |
Name: Brannarch Race: Redguard Style: Hunter - stealthy to begin with, capable of finishing enemies off at close quarters. Aside from racial bonus skills, sneak and alchemy will probably be used. Story: Brannarch was born in Sentinel, third son of a shopkeeper father and weaponsmith mother. His childhood was spent outdoors, frequently traveling across Hammerfell but always returning to Sentinel. Popular with the other sons of Sentinel's merchant class for his access to his mother's cache of weapons, which he used to 'borrow' in order to go hunting and stage mock fights with his friends, he developed into a dedicated student of the hunting arts with a reputation for bravado. As a young man, he earned a reputation as a skilled guide for travel across Hammerfell's desert terrain, frequently escorting noble visitors on journeys around the province. His skills made him invaluable on arduous desert crossings, where the ability to locate and track the very limited supply of water and game could provide much needed sustenance. It was, however, his bravery which gave him prominence - while escorting one noble family, he killed not one but three lions, to the immense relief and excitement of the party. In fact, this event brought him more work from various wealthy individuals who fancied themselves as brave lion-hunters but who, in reality, wanted Brannarch to do all of the actual hunting whilst they returned home with various exotic pelts and other trophies, including weapons that Brannarch had learned to manufacture at his mother's side. This life gave Brannarch the chance to indulge his bravery and his skills with the blade and bow, and gave him both money and status as a daring adventurer. However, Hammerfell is not especially known for its wildlife, and the challenge quickly faded. In search of greater game - and greater pay - Brannarch traveled across the empire, offering his services as a huntsman to nobles in search of excitement or just in need of someone to deal with particularly dangerous animals. Brannarch developed a network of clients, "blood brothers" as they called themselves, after their habit of smearing themselves with the blood of the kill - more often than not, Brannarch's kill. He developed a mild disdain for these dilettante nobles, but their pay and resources funded Brannarch's thrill-seeking lifestyle in lavish fashion. It was his clients who took him to Skyrim - a group of minor nobles close to the Imperial court developed, over perhaps too many bottles of Cyrodillic brandy, a plan to go to Skyrim and claim the biggest kill of all - a mammoth. And if a giant were to get in the way, why, they'd happily mount the giant's head on their wall too! Unable to resist a challenge, Brannarch led the three men and a small retinue of servants into Skyrim, ignoring the warnings of bandits and of the Stormcloak rebellion. It was to prove a dangerous misadventure. After several near encounters with bandits, the group managed to locate a mammoth herd and their giant herdsmen, but separating a mammoth from the herd proved impossible. A week of tracking led into another, and Brannarch began to wonder if easier prey might not be a wiser choice. But, fuelled by brandy and bravado, his clients refused to countenance giving up. They hatched a plan to kill a mammoth at night, noting that the mammoths had a tendency to wander off while the giants slept, and the cover of darkness provided an element of surprise. The raid was a disaster. They successfully speared a mammoth, but this was by no means enough to kill the beast. The first of the noble trio was unceremoniously trampled to death before he could escape. In the grip of an adrenaline rush, Brannarch was able to spear the mammoth twice, finally bringing the creature down. But by this time, the group's problems had multiplied - a giant bore down on them, suitably enraged by the attack on his herd. Brannarch ran for his life, but his companions seemed transfixed, unable to flee out of sheer terror. The giant swept one man into the air with a swing of his club, while the other cowered nearby. Brannarch's only hope of saving the man was to distract the giant, which he achieved by firing two well-aimed arrows at the giant's chest. The first glanced off, but the second struck home and diverted the giant's attention long enough for the last remaining nobleman to flee. Brannarch hid until the giant eventually gave up the search for his attacker, but it was a full two days before he was able to escape the area completely without being noticed. On returning to the nearest town, where the noblemen's retinue of servants were stationed, taking up an entire tavern to themselves, Brannarch was reunited with his erstwhile companion. Unfortunately, this man - who had only been saved by Brannarch's risking the giant's wrath himself - had chosen to blame him for the entire calamity, claiming that it was his deficiency as a huntsman that had led to the death of his two comrades. Furthermore, he had contacted the local legion commander and, by impressing upon the man his close connection to the imperial court, not to mention his considerable wealth, had persuaded him that Brannarch was responsible for the death of two imperial noblemen, on the spurious grounds that he had led the party into a trap. Eager to believe the Imperial nobleman over the Redguard, the legion commander had Brannarch arrested and sent for execution. And this, of course, is where our story really begins... |

So many Mary-Sues, it's scary. Like any sensible human would do, I'm going to make an insanely black Redguard with a mowhawk, call him Mr. T, and then [&@%!] up some dragons whilist staying away from mountains. He shall be my test character. After that, a red-haired Nord with a beard named Chuck Norris will be formed, and I will use him throughout the game, and whatever expansion packs and DLC ensue. And then me and my friends will make a zillion other worthless accounts for Wood Elves and Dark Elves and other [&@%!] races. |
