Wait, the character's name will be Chuck Norris, or just his beard? :wink:
The beard has a secret name, which cannot be said lest your face explode.

The effect of hearing it is similar to taking the drug Charlie Sheen.

Race: Yet another ##### Breton Immortal
Weapons: Magic, longswords, bows, maybe eventually a big hunk of metal to up the 2 handed.
Name: Lord Elvewyn of course
Story: Having gotten bored and out of shape since saving Cyrodil from a Daedric invasion yours truly decided to head north and explore the wild west, er northlands. Unfortunately easy living has nerfed said heroes skills and wallet hence getting caught and arrested at the border. Fortunately, divine providence or sheer luck has kept his head and shoulders connected, the alternative being a highly embarassing end for an Immortal. Yours truly is presently on the run and will be back in shape, physically and financially some time in the near future, assuming no radical difficulties e.g. more dragon attacks.
Guilds: All. Preference for the noble and stealthy ones. As before, will also attempt to assume control of the bloody murderers and rurr me smash types too. That depends on promotional opportunities of course.
Goals: Fireworks, loot and a citadel

So far, Narzul is a heavy-armored Conjurer that lays waste to his enemies with a Bound Sword and a variety of minions, including the resurrected dead and a Flame Atronach.

I've just been busy for a short time at 1am, when the game was unlocked, and I'm still in the tutorial, and I made him together with my dad. :D

He's an Imperial, with some nice scars. He has the name of a ROman emperor, with a lot of 'C's, and it's not Ceasar... He also has a beard. :)

EDIT: His name is Caracalla: http://upload/wikimedia[b]{dot}[/b]org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/Caracalla.jpg
Edit2: I've not yet thought of a story... :/

Name: Candide
Race: Breton
Focuses: Light Armor, One Hand, Destruction, Restoration

After getting his hometown in Highrock destroyed, Candide quickly fled the area. He found out later that he was the only one from his village that survived. He spent his last gold coin in a tavern on bread, and quickly going hungry afterwards. Contrary to what his professor Pangloss the philosopher taught him, Candide was starting to question optimism, or the belief that all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. He was robbed of his clothing and beat senselessly by a band of orcs from Orsinium. Sitting in a dirty puddle, half conscious in the pouring rain, a travelling group of Argonian slavers from Black Marsh found him on their way to track down a run away Dark Elf slave. They hand cuffed him, put him in their carriage along with their other slaves, and made the trip back to Black Marsh. Candide had endured seven long years of enslavement on a plantation under the rule of an Argonian lord. He was beaten, starved, and diseased throughout his time in Black Marsh.

One day, the lord came back from a trip into the nearest village. The lord left his horse outside, without tying it to a post. Without hesitation, Candide sprinted and mounted the horse. He was off into the Valus Mountains, seeking to be in the land of his dreams; Skyrim. Hoping to have the freedom he wanted, he crossed the border into Skyrim. Only to be lead to death the next day...

I always think of a story for my character as I'm playing him; it just comes to me naturally based on how the NPCs interact with me and how I imagine that I interact with them. All I know so far is that I'm playing an Imperial named Lenius Tullius and that he has a lovely chiseled chin and some wonderful facial hair. Good enough for me to begin! :P

Hrolfing, Nord.
Heavyset, with long brown hair and a thick beard. Scar streaked across his face, and blind in his right eye (He has vivid blue eyes).
Tends to focus on one handed weapons, currently using a steel axe, and either a shield or a flame spell.

Hrolfing was around during the time of the Oblivion crisis, but lost his way north of Bruma. After a battle with a pack of wolves, Hrolfing found himself worn out to the point of exhaustion and collapsed into the snow. He was frozen by the fierce winds and there he layed for almost 200 years. He's not quite sure how he was thawed out, but being close to the Skyrim border, he crossed over. And that is where our story begins.

His name my name. He's a male Nord, heaviest build possible, short dark hair and a five-o'clock-shadow type of beard.

I'm using Battleaxes, Heavy Armor, Smithing, and tiny amounts of Archery/Restoration/Alteration.

I first put all my points into health (level 8), but now I've realized that I need stamina, so I think I'll end up balancing it out at about 2 health: 1 stamina.

I've got full Dwemer armor that I smithed myself, except I have some I think steel gauntlets enchanted with +15% Two handed damage. And Weapons wise I have a Ancient Nordic Battleaxe with +5 Frost damage enchantment. For perks, I've taken Steel and Dwemer smithing so far, 2 Juggernaut, 2 Barbarian, And one of the perks that increases battleaxe bleed damage.

My character is a level 6 Dunmer Battlemage that is slowly making his way to Winterhold to join the college. I'm using my perks in Heavy Armor, Destruction, and One-Handed, mainly. Once I get to the college, I plan on learning more powerful spells and trying to be more of a mage than a warrior, so that I can hold my one without a weapon. At the moment, the Companions look very intriguing, but my mage won't have it. Maybe I will learn some of the way of the warrior, but like I said, I will try to be more of a mage. I've been trying to get my hands on some elven armor, but to no avail. I usually wear an enchanted robe if I have one and iron gauntlets. If I don't have a good robe, I'll wear my banded iron armor which can be very useful when in close combat. I'm also interested in enchanting since most likely my One-Handed skill won't be as high as my Destruction, giving me a little help with weapons.

I've acquired a reanimatory staff which I got from a Draugr in a mine, which I'm excited to use on someone. I have an Orcish sword which is great when paired with either my flame or spark spell. That's all I can really think of now.

Agonised for ages on each character creation screen, and finally built one of my early ideas.

Jael de Pardo is a Breton Witch, brunette, brown eyes, woad warpaint, the odd scar, currently level 3 and spending perks in destruction. Got some time in with a bow too, and has just *accidentally* won some rather special armour...

Not touched the main quest yet, been playing since 18:30 and just finished at 23:15, UK time.

Torrhen is a male Nord, and he uses one handed weapons. And magic. And stealth. :lol:

Thought I would post a picture of Hrolfing. He's currently up to level 10 and has switched into leather armor, but is still using an ax and shield combo.

What level are you and what skill(s) have you specialised in

Post by Pandamatak »

Me? I've been doing magic because I really like using both my hands to shoot out a fury of fire.

Level 2 atm, I'm thinking of getting the dual wielding destruction perk when I level, but (Off Topic Question) does this make it so that you don't shoot fire out of both your hands or is it still possible to do dual flamethrowers?

I'm at level 17 at the moment and am putting points all over the place haha. I'm using things like one-handed, block along with some destruction magic. I really like being able to use whatever skill I want without it crippling my characters progression (like in Oblivion).

Level 9.

Ive focused on Archery, and Sneak. Bows seem far more capable then Oblivion, and the punch is useful.

I am level 29 right about now. Played 50 hours now. About 80-90 archery and sneaking with lockpicking and pickpocketing about 60 together with light armor.

I would've loved to specialize in enchanting / alchemy, but I just didn't bother at the start :D

Level 18 now, focused on Conjuration and Destruction. Took me about 18 hours. A friend of mine reached level 22 in merely 12 hours. Sneak levels up absurdly fast, apparently.
