A permanent level one character.
Don't assign points to magicka, health, or stamina.
That also means you can't assign points to skills and perks.
Your character will stay at level one (unless, at a later point, you assign points).
I almost finished the entire game that way. Your skills will level up as you're playing, but even so, they are far weaker than if you use perks. For example, my sneak assassin is maxed in sneaking at 100, but everyone can see her from quite a distance.
BTW, your gear comes from dropped loot, chest, enemies you kill, etc., because you can't level smithing, enchanting, either.
Good luck.
PS: With your mana at 100 forever, a mage probably isn't a good character to make.
