My awesome assassin Dunmer will eventually have to retire. What should I mae next? I was thinking a rogue/berserker Orc.
Try an illusion conjuation mage. You cast an illusion spell to make your character invisible and then conjure things to fight for you, watch them and your followers do all the work. Or you can also make your foes fight themselves.

Very interesting. Will try out.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Well let's see:

That Thalmus, the lusty Argonian who really had no character since he was my first playthrough where I'd just do whatever.

Second was a Link character in a Legend of Zelda playthrough. Essentially Link all grown up now and off on another adventure in a different land.

Verucia was a female vampire assassin who I didn't bother having any character for other than I thought vampire assassin could be fun.

Maijefas is a Khajiit King who had his kingdom destroyed and then set to wandering Tamriel. Noble but arrogant, sweet-ass decapitations.

Gandalf, who is Gandalf recreated in Skyrim.

Morguuf-Ul, a brutish orc who is essentially just a character who I decided would have no real magical or Dragonborn ties and would just be a criminal. He's got the death sentence in every hold, which gets hard to function pretty fast.

And my latest is Bergrun who I created just for the Dragonborn DLC. But I haven't got the DLC yet because he's not ready for it. He's as average and plain looking as I could possibly make someone off the start, and through the Face Changer I'm aging him and adding characteristics like scars and a bad eye as I go. The first step of his journey was the main quest, establishing himself as the Dragonborn. Now I'm going through the guild quests, making sure to actually be thief, stealth, and mage or warrior for each one. The idea being that he starts a warrior and then as he grows he learns to expand his repertoire.

His last quest as an old man will be to be the Nord Hero in Ancient Nord Armor who leads the Nords against the Empire to eject them from Skyrim when he's finally old and gray. And then the Dragonborn DLC will be overtime, his final challenge being the Ebony Warrior. I'm aging him about ever ten levels or so, give or take, depending how he levels according to the quests I've accomplished. He's level 44 now and showing some age, I likely won't start the Civil war quest and age him to his final state until about level 70-75.

My Skyrim character is a badass Dark Elf warrior with an Elite name that I regret giving him now. He fell from the sky 2 years before the events of Skyrim after Sheogorath made him out of Horker tusks and Sweetroll glazing. He proceeded to be a badass, liberating Skyrim from the Stormcloak menace with his mighty Daedric Greatsword; Skull-blam!-. He is the King of Walri and Mudcrabs.

Unto the Fray we go

My Character, A Nord Ranger named after me, Was at one time a simple woodsman who lived in a small, Isolated cabin in the Rift.

He lived a simple life, grew his own food, chopped his own wood, rarely did he ever go out to any town. Not that he needed to, he had everything he needed right where he was. However, he did always want to explore Skyrim as an adventurer, but he never could find when to start.

When he caught word of the civil war he felt more toward his Nordic kin than the empire he grew to distrust as it crumbled around him.

Then, one fateful day, he was going over to Cyrodiil to deliver some wood to a small house just down the road from the border, after this he was knocked out cold by some Imperial soldiers led by a band of Thalmor troops when he tried to cross the border back to Skyrim.

His home was sacked and destroyed, his crops burned and wood taken. And he was in a carriage, to be executed for a crime he did not commit.

From that point, His hate for the Thalmor and the Empire grew ever stronger. As for the Dragons, well, he never really felt anything about them...until he found out he was Dragonborn....

Dunmer are a cool race, but I have to say they are so goddamn ugly.

My character is the same guy from the elder scrolls: oblivion but after the whole fiasco of the game he went travelling up north when he got into a fight with a very powerful mage, the mage pulled a very powerful freezing spell which froze my character in ice for 200 years when one day he was cracked open by bandits who stole his gear, then he woke up

confused and a little bit disorientated he ran away from the bandits in nothing but a few rags wherein he ran into an Imperial trap on the border of Skyrim

and so our story begins...

My Skyrim and Morrowind character has a story.

His name is Falco, and he was born in Cyrodill, he was born in the northern parts of CYrodill albeit, near Bruma. Throughout his childhood, he loved taking vacations to Anvil.

One day, he intended on joining the Imperial Legion, and when heading through Bruma, on his way, he passed the Mage's guild, where one member was outside selling "Bottles of Anvil's fresh sea air." Inquiring about how Anvil's air was bottled, he was told through magic, and taking such a genuine interest in this, he decided to try his hand at the magical arts, and was particularly gifted in the school of alteration.

A few years later, a couple of houses caught fire near the mages guild, with one small guild losing her life. The fires were blamed on the Mage's guild, and several members where carted off to prison, or given very large fines. Falco was sent off to prison.

A few months later, he arrived at Morrowind, with a dunmer named Jiub, being told to report to one Cais Cassades. He learnt that he was the Nerevaine etc, and went about doing what needed doing. He eventually contracted corpus, and although the mighty wizard DIvayth Fyr cured it, it remained incactive, dormant within him, with some effects still coming to bear, not aging being one. He finished his duty as the Nerevaine, killing Dagoth Ur, sundering the heart, destroying the partly finished Dwemer automation God, and then proceeded to work, and kill the God Almalexia, for she had succumbed to madness, and killed sotha sil, and stop the Bloodmoon, on the island of Solstheim, with him honestly coincidentally meeting an Imperial of the same name.

Over the next few years, he travelled off to Akavir, and missed most of the Oblivion crisis, although helped close one gate in Morrowind. He asked thee wizard Divayth Fyr, who had cured him of corpus, if he may teach him further in the ways of magic, especially alteration, and that was what he went about doing for the next few years.

After Divayth Fyr, was called off on a long arrangement with the Psyjjics, shortly before the red year, Falco agreed to leave his apprenticeship, as he wanted to see more of the world. He then proceeded to return to Cyrodill, and take up residence in Anvil. During this time, with his skills in magic, he was able to entertain many of the young children and adults alike, with small, yet impressive noveltys, and became a well integrated member of the community.

With his being immortal, regarding age now, he cycled between towns, even heading over to High Rock for a while, living peacefully, and eventually returned to Anvil. He found that non of the people there where there when he had last been there, except for an old woman, who had been a child when he was last there, yet was now in dire health, widowed and alone. Feeling a great deal of sorrow for her, he decided to pay her a visit in her final hours, and although getting the funniest look you could imagine from her as he entered into the room as she remembered him, he showed her the tricks he had used when he had once been here, he let her die happily, with the memories of her childhood very present. It was at this time, he learnt of the declaration of war on the Aldmeri dominion, and due to that timing, feels a deep bitterness towards the Aldmeri dominion, perhaps deeper than most. He helped at battles, although never officially signed up to the legion. E fought in several battles, and was in Elsewyr when he heard the news of the empire signing the white gold concordat, and shares views with many Nords, that this was great dishonour towards the empire, and ultimately saw it as cowardice. He lived the next few years moving around, not wanting to stay anywhere too long, for fear of Thalmor inquisition, or recording.

Eventually, whilst on the move, he was passing over the border to SKyrim, and the rest is what happened in Skyrim. He shares views with many Stormcloaks on the empire, and recalling how the Dark Elves had wanted the empire out, as they had dominated much of their culture, as well as his own run experiences with the empire. HE fought for Ulfric, to become High King, and although he disagres with the treatment of the Dark Elves in the grey quarter, whom he has great respect towards, due to his time on Morrowind, he believes that it is perhaps necessary for them to remain there, and at least have shelter, until the issues in Morrowind are fixed. Currently, once more he is on Solstheim, and after dealing with a problem from the first dragonborn; Miirak he is once more there for his original purpose, and is working with Master Neloth of the televanni, to attempt to fix conditions on Vvardenfel, or at least improve them, so that then the Dark Elves may once more return to their native home, although technically the Dwemer where there first.

That is my main character, I had seperate ones for when I played Arena/Daggerfall, although I did play them late honestly, although this character remains throughout the series for me.

I have made thousands of characters overall in the Elder Scrolls though this is my main one.

My Oblivion character just became sheogorath, and became immortal through that.

Also, as I said, I make characters of people earlier in the series, with my level 81 Sorceror Divayth Fyr being one example in Skyrim.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

He was arrested because he was windmilling Imperial soldiers at Skyrim's border.

became High King of skyrim by slaugthering all imperials with the Jarl of Windhelm as his puppet emperor.


Almost liked your character


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.
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.


Also, when that happens, Lorkhan will return, and lead the armies of man, both from Sovngarde and life against the Aldmeri Dominion.

Also, please don't get me started on a why it is far more strategically advantageous against the Thalmor, to choose Stormcloak, it really tires me, when I have to do it so often with idiots who know nothing about the lore, just say, Stormcloaks are racist, or whatever, despite not understanding, that the Dark Elves where by far worse, with their slavery etc.

But, if you do understand the lore, and are backing Imperial, then I would honestly be interested in having an informed debate, as that is something i have found is a rarity, although I do tire of debates.

Rustled Jimmies

I was an Imperial traveling over the border of Skyrim when i got caught, I escaped Helgan and returned with to Solitude to join the Imperial Legionaries. After I killed Ulfric Stormcloak I realized that I made a mistake. I left the Legionaries and became a mercenary, now i travel all around Skyrim to find work.

I like cheese more than you
Except Blue Stilton. That stuff is nasty. As is any cheese that contains stuff other than cheese

I play as a Kajiit because I'm amazingly Original. Has no real story except for the fact she picks up anything with a shiny name , every soul gem or metal ore, every gem and pretty much every alchemy ingredient.

Oh, people still want to know why I spent three days just crafting daggers and on the fourth day I was wearing full Dragonplate armour that I crafted myself using the knowledge of iron daggers.

Halo 2, you will be missed 2004-2010
Join teh Floodian resistance!

Rariniir III - A refugee from morrowind, he came to skyrim seeking refuge and a new start. All he found was death, civil war, and the sworn enemy of his ancestors, the dark brotherhood. Rariniir comes from a long line of members of the Morag Tong. His goal now is to destroy the Dark Brotherhood and reestablish the Morag Tong as the dominant guild in Skyrim. I have many more but this is one I came up with fairly quickly.

That sounds quite cool, I have an Ordinator of house Indoril, named Dedaenac Andalor with similar intentions.

This thread deserves a bump.

So, I made another character a little while back, a high elf not concerned with such silly things as magic or weapons. He came to Skyrim looking for thrills, and will do any fighting he can using only his fists. Augmented with protective deadric armour, he'll fist anything he comes across into a bloody pulp.
