I want to make a Tsaesci character. I'm going to use a Blades sword and armor but I don't know what race I should choose. Can anyone please give me a good suggestion, also should I be a vampire?

We know virtually nothing about them and what we do know is just conjecture. So that's pretty impossible to give advice on.

Pretty much. All we know is how snakey they are (The Potentate's son is described as a "yellow eel"). What can be said is the Tsaesci didn't wear armor or use sheilds ("In my country, if you don't want to be hit, you get out of the way"), so you should dual-weild.

But there's a huge lack of info. That's why we want an Akaviri game or DLC so badly

The closest you can get is an Argonian Vampire.


As for actual in character roleplay... impossible.

In my opinion, you can't role-play a Tsaesci - the inhabitants of Skyrim would, perhaps without exception, react very differently to a creature they had never seen and very possibly never heard of, than how they would one of the races we encounter in the province - these reactions simply do not exist in the game.

Here's a cool class build of a Tsaesci using the Argonian-Vampire template: http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/group/character-building/forum/topics/character-build-tsaesci-yni-ka-paal?xg_source=activity
