still playing this game a riduculous amount, however i would like to start a new character. So if you would, tell me what your characters are! I want ideas and its very intresting reading about other peoples ideas, but please if your going to reply give me detail! i wanna hear the story behind your character and what perks he/she has and what skills you have invested in, i look forward to seeing your replys if any haha

My last character was a nord werewolf marksman, heavy armour, illusion, conjuration (for bound bow), sneak. Although i did want to use the trade skills i just didnt have enough perks. he was level 47 with all the above skills being 100, but i just got bored. Plus i want a new fun idea for dawnguard, i was thinking about a magic/stealth hybrid thats a vampire BUT still joins the dawnguard.

Welcome to the forum, have a fishy stick: http://images.uesp.net/c/c4/Fishystick.jpg

My character is Markus Liberty, a Mercenary from Hammerfell. he is looking to open a new guild for mercenaries in Skyrim but still needs to figure a few things. He is one of the leaders in a faction known as the Order of the Lily, a bunch of religious luniticks stationed in the Iliac bay. He don't really trust magic but still calls himself a Paladin.
his storry began unbelievably enough as a Child. half Nord half Bretony, he studied at a scholars school for children in the Alik'r desert but one day it all changed, a group of necromancers attacked the academy as the children where sleeping, some of the children, Markus included, where saved by a warden from the Order of the Lily. You may say that's when it all began.

awesome, just awesome. What are your skills/race etc

Welcome to the forums Jameskater!

I deleted all my saves for a fresh start, so here is my character

Name: Thora Vor'Dict

Level: 10

Class: Witch (Necromancer, Alchemist ect)

Cheers dude, nice! i would go the necromancer route although it just deosnt cut it when fighting dragons and other harder enemies, are you using any other sort of offensive skill or just using your raised minions?

Hell yeah! I am also interested in being a Storm Mage, so I use the majority of the Lightning abilities

Smart, storm spells are BA. Im thinking about making a heavy armour mage, using restoration, heavy armour, destruction (fire spells) and enchanting, this doesnt seem alot although the perks really do limit what you can actually make on this game, i wish you could get more perks, maybe two perks a level instead of one just to make room for more intresting combinations of different skills.

I play a female Nord vampire whom specializes in One-Handed, Archery (mostly), Sneak, and Light Armor. She also has a few perks in Speech, Illusion, Smithing, and Enchanting. So basically she is a Rogue.

MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF CHARACTER. although again the amount of perks you get just doesnt cut it, when i use archery i like to have all the perks because they're all needed in making a sucessful BA archer, but it takes a good 16 perks if you want to max that out,

just a quick thing to show you guys, this is awesome for planning/making charcters im not allowed to post links not sure why, buuuuut search "ign skyrim character builder" into google.

Congrats for getting a fishy stick, I never had one myself

My current character is Blackest-Night, an Argonian with a black skin, hence his name. His family accidentally run into some criminals' bad business so they killed his parents and pursued by crooks since he was a hatchling, so he's one sneaky character.

Too many....
In my signature

Name: Arinbjorn Brondolf (http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/939248184606353851/C75821BFC78F1114CDF045319E92697356F62084/).

Class: Brondolf Clan member (a warrior-sorcerers' Nordic clan from Solstheim).

Race: Nord.

Age: 20

Occupation: Noble. Currently sort of "cast out" from his family (although he left them in good terms).

Physical Description: Radiant blonde hair, strange clear eyes, blue mystical face paint, muscular build.

Abilities: One-Handed, Heavy Armor, Light Armor, Block, Smithing, Alteration, Restoration, Enchanting, Speech.

Misc. Abilities: His clan is extremely talented with Restoration/Alteration magic, being able to achieve feats like Teleporting both short and long distances, push/pull enemies, trap them into prisons of stone, grab and threw them...along with many utilitary spells like to store items in a personal Rift with a dozen of chests, and access them remotely, minor Levitation, advanced Transmutation that allows him to transmute ingots out of raw ore, as well as iron ingots into silver/gold ingots....etc.

Personality: He likes to craft jewelry (a pretty lucrative hobby of him ), he also likes to mine up ore (he says it's "relaxing"...there's nothing written about tastes I guess), and to pick up any iron ore he can and transmute them up into gold ingots. He also loves a good bath in the hotsprings before some good sleep time and, of course, the three essentials every true Nord likes: To Eat (and to eat WELL), To Drink (also WELL) and To Fight (..a good fight, of course:D ).

He's a Stormcloak symphatizer, and while he has no real grudges against other races, he tends to dislike Dark Elves (can't help it, since they invaded Solstheim, and his brothers had to fight them back). He also hates the Thalmor with a passion, thinking that the only thing worse than their intentions are their ways to achieve them. He doesn't 'really' hate the Empire, but rather feel pity for them, as they've fallen so far to become the Thalmor' puppets, but although he doesn't hate them, he knows they're also an enemy now, and fights them wherever they're found.

And about himself, being educated in Solstheim's Royal Family, he's a very educated and righteous person...most of the times, as he's also pretty quick to anger. He generally likes to do deeds and dislikes injustice.

oh my god, thankyou. this is exactly what i wanted to see! awesome character dude, gives me inspiration!

np. I've to update the whole text someday, as it's a bit outdated, and he has gained some new abilities over the time

Name : Fhynrood Aryon

Class: Knight - Warrior . Servant of Azura

Race: Dunmer

Age: Something near 250

Born in Ald Ruhn from a Redoran family , he was devouted to the temple in his youthness. His family were also loyal servants of the Temple and House Redoran.
He saw the Nerevarine passing by, and feeled so dissapointed with the lies of the Temple and the Tribunal. He asked permission to leave his duties to House Redoran (but he stills belongs to it) and started to wander Tamriel. In those years he grew old, and aprehensive specially of the Nords and Argonians.
But nothing prepared him for the upcoming events: First a Daedra attack on Ald Ruhn, his family dissapeared in it. He fought brave with his brothers of the House, but was not enough.
In the following years, he found his brother and father again, but once more the Destiny broke before him, and his entire world and what was left of his life collapsed.
The rock fell... and the island, his home was utterly destroyed.
He flee, desperated, starting a mercenary life, with no goals, just survive.
In that path he meets so many refugees, he saw so many brothers die, that his heart never healed.
He wandered for decades, he grew tired... then the Destiny leaded his way to the Velothi mountains, helping some refugees to cross. A heavy snow storm separated them from him, and he get lost. Descending the mountain, tired, almost dead, he was captured in the middle of a Nordic raid...
But that... that is another story.

Wow I love this story !

Thank you. I know I must develop it further and deeper. I will write something more extended in my own language, then I will translate. Sometimes, as there, write in my 2nd language make things... more cutted and shorter

When I write story on the paper at first it seems good , but then when I rewrite it on the forums and such it's much better

Race- Female wood elf
name- WillowOak
Class- spellsword ( red mage )

She uses a longsword and a long bow. Her skills are in destruction spells, healing spells, and some conjuring spells, Mundane skills are lock picking, sneaking and smithing.
She ended up joining the Stormcloaks since her family and clan were killed by the Thalmor since they didn't agree nor like them taking Valorwood. She escaped the slaughter and into Skyrim and from there the Empire caught her. She never liked the idea of being told how to worship. She believes that everyone has the right to worship as long as they harm none.

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197988732882/screenshot/578961482059522880?tab=public Light armor, one- and two-handed katanas, restoration, alteration and destruction spell schools. Except fire magic, obviously

Nothing unmodded about her. Or her equipment. Or her skills, in fact.

I take it that you are on the pc. Since your snow elf has purple hair.

Rescued from the rubble of Ald Sotha by Morag Tong recruiters in the aftermath of the Red Year, she was barely out of her teens by the time the faction collapsed and splintered into a number of different sects all warring with each other. One of these splinter sects was the Nammu - the nameless ones - who revived the old faith of the Ashlanders, allowing sacred necromancy and adopting Azura and Boethiah into their pantheon. They also retained the Morag Tong's original purpose - the prevention of war through covert means - and, freed from the shackles of Temple decree, aim to fulfill their mission not just in a rebuilt Morrowind, but the rest of Tamriel, as well.

In 4E201, Sonnamu was sent to Skyrim under the auspices of 'diplomatic observance,' which in reality was just a ruse for her to find out as much about the war as possible - who was funding it, who was fighting it, who was farming it for lucrative income. She compiled a list of nine men and women whose demise would greatly lessen the impact of war on the populace, or perhaps even bring it to an end. These nine men and women - and many who follow them - need to be assassinated before she is allowed home, and Skyrim can find peace.

Oh gosh another one...

You want to know about my characters? 'kay.

Eilonwy is a female Altmer warrior who specializes in one-handed weapons (especially axes), and uses mostly light armor, though she will wear something heavier if needed. She's a soldier by profession, but occasionally works as a mercenary and blacksmith to earn some coin.

Faeron is a male Dunmer bard who's literally a bard. He's not much for fighting, though he can pack a punch with a lute when you're not looking. He wears only clothing and never travels alone. He practices magic, mostly Illusion and Destruction.
