M'aarth? Might I ask would that just be pronounced like Marth or what? Thanks for the quick response also.

Perhaps, but during what timeline? when he was with his parents or without?
If with his parents, he could have just always played with the wares they had for sale, especially the bow
In the orphanage, I'd see some complication getting access to a bow

Also, on a side-note, how do the Khajiit view the Thalmor/elves and the Thalmor them back? I heard the Khajiit sided with the Thalmor? Also, Stormcloaks or Empire if I decide not to remain neutral?

That's what I figured when I put it out there, Kind of reminded me of Fire emblem's Marth

Well, I had him pencilled down as being sent to the orphanage as a newborn. But, perhaps I could alter that to make him around 7/8 years till orphanage, then he escapes at around 14 and lived in wilds until now at 18?

M'aarth sounds cool and not weird unlike most Khajiit names, but still true to lore.

This varies, some of the more gullible Khajiit envy the Thalmor for bringing back the Moons when they disappeared for Two-years, but I'm sure that a lot kind of figured out or just guess that it was just a whole scandal into getting them on their side.
I'd like to believe the majority believes that, but apposing the Thalmor would mean their immediate death so they sided with them.

as for the War, realistically I'd probably say the Empire (Nords tend to be utterly racist to outsiders and want to make you into a Rug)
but it's not hard to create a reason to join the Storm cloaks as a Khajiit either though.

I'll have him stay with his parents till around 8. This would give him memory of their appearance, which would allow him to actually be able to eventually seek them out, access to a bow as a young child and also explain where he got the M' part of his name from.

On a side note, I'm a bit astonished how similar our Backstories are so far, my character K'helt was also raised in an Orphanage in Leyawiin (although never seeing his parents), he also decided to leave at age 14 xD

Very similar so far. I might change it a bit, but the whole orphanage and ultimate goal of finding his parents gives a nice motive to his actions. It is also a bit different to the regular "parents killed by [insert faction/group/person you want to be enemies with here]".

Anyway, I'm going for tonight. Thank you for your help. I will be back on tomorrow and I'll message you with a link back to this thread in case it gets buried. If it is okay with you, I would like to pick your brain a bit more as, having never played as one before, didn't know much about Khajiit. However, it seems cool to play as the under-dog (despite being cats) race!

Lol, it's always good to avoid the crowd who goes in the same direction, but let me break the stride of similar-ness to our stories and say K'helt was never interested in finding who his parents were


okay, I'd be available to respond at 3:00 PM (GMT-5:00) Eastern Time, or 2 hours before the time it is now.
