Subject: ITT: Your elder scrolls characters and their backgrounds

I absolutely love making backstories for my characters. My morrowind imperial warrior character, Decimus is the older brother of my oblivion imperial thief character, harlow. Before the events of morrowind they lived together with their parents in skyrim, they decided to move to cyrodiil in 3E 425. Decimus became a merchant in the imperial city and became framed for a murder in 3E 427 and was sent to prison, which lead up to the events of morrowind. Harlow became a courier and stayed that way until 3E 431 when he had to deliver a very important package to hammerfell and bandits stopped him on the way there. They took it from him, nearly killed him, and left him to die. He was fired for his failure to deliver. He became an independent mercenary afterwards, and in 3E 433 he was hired to kill a khajiit skooma drug lord in elsweyr. He failed, and the dealer decided to frame him for the massacre of a small village in elsweyr, and got him sent to the imperial prison, which lead to the events of oblivion. Later on he killed the skooma drug lord, settled down, and had a family. From this bloodline, my skyrim character, Decimus, intentionally named after his x10 great uncle of the same name, was born. Decimus grew up in the imperial city and worked as a vampire hunter and mercenary for 2 years after becoming an adult, afterward he ended his operation in cyrodiil and moved on to skyrim, leading to the events of Skyrim.

TL;DR: My skyrim character is the 10x great grandson of my oblivion character who was the brother of my morrowind character.

Thank you for your time

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

My Skyrim character was named 'Prisoner'

He was born when I first started the game.

My Oblivion and Skyrim character are the same person.

How? Because magic.

You should create a back story to your character, it is really fun especially if your a good writer or something.

My Skyrim characters name is Koolen.

He is the mightiest of Nords and will rip you head off with his bare hands. He fancied himself an adventure, so tied himself up and decided to sit in the carrage that brought him to the execution block. The guards didn't agree, but he killed 20 of them by biting out their throats, so they'd let him be.

He was willingly putting his head on the block, because he know his huge muscle build neck would break the headmans axe. After that he let Alduin destroy Helgen, because he fancied a barbeque. Later I got sick of that dragon shooping down so he killed him in one blow with his mighty 2handed axe and became High King of skyrim by slaugthering all imperials with the Jarl of Windhelm as his puppet emperor.

Ew, my username. :C

I came up with it when I was 10.

Yeah. I'm too lazy to make up a background for everyone, so my character is exactly the same in every game, never mind the fact that Skyrim is 200 years after Oblivion.

I am a true nord. I like drinking mead from the skulls of conquered imperial milk drinkers. The milk has thickend their skulls so I can drink even more.

In all three TES games I've played my character is a prisoner who is inexplicably, and fairly fortuitously, thrust into the middle of a series of climactic and epochal events

Posting dark & edgy opinions since 2012.

My Skyrim character is Dave, a brave Nordic warrior who was just minding his own business when he got captured by Imperials due to racial profiling. He was then tortured by being forced to sit through a boring intro sequence before the actual game could begin. Afterwards he completely ignored the main quest and ran around looting people's houses for a few hours.

You know that the war Ulfric started is only weakening the forces of Cyrodiil and Skyrim, right? The Thalmor are going to invade when both sides are distracted and weak from the war and cluster**** the both of them.

A rare talent among his kind, Rogar the Traveling Orc came to Skyrim in search of other mages, hoping he could find others of his kind with talents such as his. Upon discovering the College of Winterhold, he learned many things, his aptitude for enchanting growing immensely in his time spent there. As well as finding one member of his kind there, he made many friends along the way, and is currently attempting to build powerful armour to fight the sudden rise of the vampire menace in Skyrim.

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

One of them, my Nord male, is an exceptionally ugly individual- he looks like the kind you'd find living underground- pitch-black eyes (being a vampire, they're red, now), flat face, pale skin- I did this to suit his vampiric nature I planned for later in the game. He is a vampire lord, yes. He is a rogue.

My Orc is a werewolf.... and I tried to make him as orc-like (looks like a -blam!- green ape with sideburns and a ponytail) as possible, because I noticed many of the orcs in that game look like Goblins (with long/ pointy, pronounced noses). I'm quite satisfied with the result. He is a rogue, as well.

My last one is a Nord female named Arthemis.... she is big and busty, and is an Archer class. I'm working on her right now.


In all of honesty, I don't think Argonians or Khajiit would fit the "Dovahkiin" namesake, despite how cool Argonians can be.

Perhaps you do not understand, Imperial, but when the time is nigh I shall have my army of the finest and bravest of the Nord gather and crush all those who dare dwell fair skyrim with foul intentions.

You fear puny elves who rely on magic, but both you as they shall find out Nordic steal weakens not against sorcery and tricks, but sharpens as if it was tended by the Skyforge itself!

By myself I shall defend skyrim at her borders and crush army after army beneath my feet. Only the finest and bravest of their warriors shall fall, skull cleaved by my axe.

Their ranks shall be crushed by Nordic steel, like waves they'll break away.

I wrote a big word document backstory for my character in Skyrim one day when I was bored. I'd link it but I'm too damn lazy.

Too lazy to link a document; not too lazy to write a big word document on a Skyrim character?

I'm a Nord and I kill people. That's as far as I go with my back stories.

I am sorry but the stormcloaks (militia) can't defend against the forces of an entire elven military. Your war only caused more blood for your kind and mine. You were allowed to worship, and if you gave time we would build our strength and stop the thalmor, and repeal the talos worship ban. Look at the bigger picture, we need to work together in these times, we have a common enemy, a bigger threat. The thalmor are tearing the world apart and no province can stop them independently. Teamwork wins the fight, any soldier would know that.

  • 12.20.2012 8:25 AM PDT

Never gave mine a back story, but it's an interesting concept.

Might the next time I start over.
