Backstory
karoth was born in a small village in the dragontale mountains, his father was a blacksmith usually making wepons and amour for the imerial leigon and his mother using enchantments to strengthin the amour. karoth was raised as abit of both worlds. his father taught him the art of amour and weapon crafting (he was a natual because of the orcs known skill in smithing) and his mother taught him the skills of basic enchanting. karoths father was the best blacksmith in all the land and the most skilled warrior in his village while his mother was the vilage healer, news of the civil war was spread in Tamreil and karoths father was called to arms to fight for the imperial leigon in the war (as was all the orcs in his village that were over the age of 18), karoth was too young to join his father so him and his mother moved to a small town in skyrim, he took over the blacksmith business while his father was at war and his mother continued to train him in the art of enchanting, at the age of 18 karoth decided he was going to join the imperial army but recived a message stating his father had died on the battle feild. he then decidedto stay and support his mother at home. once his mother died of old age karoth packed him things , sold the blacksmithing shop and sent off to join the war but as he was on his way he was mistaken for a stormcloak soldier and was capture along with the other stormcloaks ( so now it starts from the first cutscene in skyrim as soon as you start playing and you are in the carrage being taking to the first town the dragon attacks)

this is just alittle bit of fun if you havent thort about a backstory for your caracter then just make one up =D i made mine up wile tryping this thread

Small tip, its character not caracter. I don't mean to offend if your first language is not English.

Name: Zeverus
Race: Nord
Gender: Male
Class: Battle Mage
ideal Weapon: Destruction Magic
Armor: Enchanted Dragonplate
Skills: Destruction, Conjuration, Smithing, Enchanting, Heavy Armor

Zeverus lived with his wife and child near Riverwood and did not have the money to provide much for his family... if he could not come home with some meat from a good hunt it would be tough to purchase some from a major city or small town. Knowing things needed to change he decided to relocate to whiterun in hopes of finding a good job and making more money for his family. On the way to Whiterun he found 2 nords at a campsite and asked if he could trade for a few supplies. As they were trading they were ambushed by imperial soldiers. Before he knew it he was knocked unconscious.. He soon woke up in a caravan with his hands tied, the two nords he was trading with and a talkative thief. His wife and child nowhere in sight. After the events we all know of he made his way straight to the Stormcloak stronghold. He joined Ulfric in his quest to take skyrim back in hopes of finding his wife and child in the process.

Name: Cosmar (surprise)
Race: Breton
Class: Wizard (pure mage!)
Ideal weapons: Summoned helpers or Lightning spells
Armor: none! Wearing mage robes.
Skills: Alteration, Destruction, Restoration, Conjuration, Enchanting, Alchemy

Background:
Cosmar grew up in the High Rock city of Wayrest, and was taught in magic by his father, who came from a long line of mages who had been prominent in the Mages Guild there before it dissolved. He lived a happy life, and eventually his parents died of old age (he was an only child) so after their funeral he decided to sell the house and become a wandering wizard. His travels took him to Skyrim, where he planned on investigating the College of Winterhold, which his father had visited in his youth and about which he spoke highly of. But during his travels he was captured by imperials, mistaken for a Stormcloak rebel. Ever since becoming embroiled in the Civil War and the return of the Dragons, Cosmar has become a powerful mage able to slay dragons with a wave of his hand (or a few waves) and command the forces of Oblivion. He's generally a happy go lucky fellow, but isn't afraid to do whatever is necessary to help those in need. He worships Julianos, and maintains a property in Markarth, where he can most easily pursue his studies of the Dwemer.

Name: Moon
Race: Nord
Gender: Female
Class: Dual Wield (Axe) Warrior
Ideal Weapon: Fire enchanted War Axe
Armor: Fur
Skills: One Hand Wep, Light Armor, Sneak, Alteration

Background: None. Moon doesn't remember anything. It doesn't matter, she's sixy and she slice bacon like no one.
