Post your characters!

I want to see the type of characters the people of this forum use. I'm talking about attributes, perks, armor/robes/clothes, and playing style.

This is my character:

Nord, level 79.
Difficulty - Master

Health: 360 or 434 with armor equipped
Stamina: 620 or 916 with armor equipped


Perks are: http://skyrimcalculator.com/#222352

Equipment -

Weapons

Hunting Bow - 181 Damage or 267 Damage with armor equipped
Steel Dagger - 175 Damage
Skyforge Steel Sword 193 Damage or 285 Damage with armor equipped

All weapons enchanted with "Absorb 29 points of Stamina. If target dies within 1 second, fills a soul gem". I carry around The Black Star.

Armor

Necklace - Increases Magic Resistance by 29%. Increases your stamina by 74 points
Ring - Increases Magic Resistance by 29%. Increases your stamina by 74 points

Studded Armor - Increases your health by 74 points. Increases your stamina by 74 points.
Iron Boots - One-Handed attacks do 48% more damage. Increases your stamina by 74 points.
Iron Gauntlets - Bows do 48% more damage. Sneaking is 48% better.
Iron Helmet - Alteration spells cost 130% less to cast. Can swim underwater without drowning.

(I did the Alteration enchantment with the fortify restoration loop. The reasoning was for detect dead after dragon fights in cities. I'm very OCD to make sure no NPCs die due to dragon attacks in settlements or by vampire attacks introduced through the DLC Dawnguard. I don't like NPCs dying. At all. I need Detect Life to make sure NPCs were not killed and as my build isn't for magic at all, I had to cheat in this one regard.)

Banded Iron Shield - Increases fire resistance by 44%. Increases shock resistance by 44%.

Armor rating - 393
Magic Resistance - 73% (Two enchantments and Agent of Mara)
Steed Stone

I usually sneak around with my bow or dagger to kill enemies or I'll do straight up shield bash and strike with my sword tactics when detected or there's a lone enemy. Even though I invested in dual wield, I rarely duel wield. It just isn't my style.

You'll forgive me if this isn't precise, I'm trying to remember off the top of my head.

Butch, female Nord, level 48 (one or two skill increases to 49)

Magicka: 100, Health: 210, Stamina: 590 (does that add up right?)

Top skills: Archery (100), Sneak (94), Two-Handed (90), Heavy Armor (90), Speech (89). Lockpicking is also pretty high (93) but that's not intentional.
Enchanting, Alchemy, and Smithing are mid-level skills, somewhere in the 40s or 50s, though I don't do much enchanting any more.
All magic skills are neglected, none are past 20, and any that have progressed have been mostly unintentional ("Let me teach you some things" rewards for quests).

The only perk skill tree I'm trying to complete is Archery, and like you I've only got Bull's Eye left to get. I've also got much of the Two-Handed tree. I also have spent perks in the Speech tree to get the Investor perk, and eventually want to get the Fence perk, maybe go ahead and get Master Trader to complete it.

Main weapons: Ebony Bow (Exsquisite) with Ebony or Glass arrows; Ebony Greatsword (Exquisite) at close range. I frequently poison my arrows, especially against mages.

Main apparel: Used to be all Ebony except the boots (Steel Plate Boots of Brawn) and helmet (Iron Helmet (Fine) -- kept it for sentimental reasons). Though as of late I have been experimenting with wearing Hammerfell Garb (no armor, lets me run faster) with no shoes (just an idiosyncrasy) and a circlet of eminent archery. I have and will always wear an Amulet of Talos and a ring that increases stamina or stamina regen. I occasionally switch out these things depending on the situation (when bartering I wear the Masque of Clavicus Vile and Amulet of Zenithar; when facing extremely difficult enemies I wear Blades Armor). I used to carry as much crap as I could carry, but now since I'm not wearing enchanted boots anymore, I try to leave 100 to 150 free carry weight space in my inventory.

Most used shouts are Unrelenting Force (big surprise), Fire Breath, Marked for Death, Aura Whisper, and Kyne's Peace.

Under the blessing or whatever of the Lady Stone.

I like to sneak around and snipe people from afar. Even at close range, I prefer to just shoot the bow. I also use Fire Breath a lot in combat. Unrelenting Force and Marked for Death are usually for crowds of people that are getting to be overwhelming. My favorite combat move is to Fus Ro Dah people off of high places, though I know I am not unique in that regard. :smile:
