Its turning out awesome so far for my 3rd character. I dont know what to call it.

An orc mage, http://www.skyrimnexus.com/imageshare/image.php?id=19080. She's been taking on some odd jobs for coin, but mostly she's just interested in her alchemy and decorating her little home in Whiterun, but recently ended up down the rabbit hole (so to speak) after an ill-advised drinking contest (he was kind of a scrawny dude...she thought she had it in the bag! ...)

Healer/alchemist/paragon of virtue if it wasn't for the alcoholism.

Altmer - Warlock. He was raised in High Rock and Alinor. At the age of 15 he was sent to a Thalmor run school of magic. Here he learned the horrors of the Thalmor, and the wonders of magic. Fifteen years later, Thalmor agents killed his parents. He decided to leave High Rock and head to Skyrim, he had always wanted to join The College of Winterhold.

Imperial by birth, I've since sided with the Strormcloaks when my own people tried to execute me simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm a pure mage versed in destruction and conjuration with a bit of restoration. I'm not terrible at archery either but use it only rarely these days. I can pick locks with the best of them and can be sneaky when the need is called for but I'm no thief. I'm fairly good hearted and fight to remove evil from the land whenever the opportunity arises. I see myself as a protector of the people and my calling is to prevent the Dragons from fulfilling their harmful plans.

My Khajit's a thief, pick-pocketer and petty criminal, living up to their rep - but a peaceful, vegetarian animal-lover, definitely not living up to their rep. Steals mostly from the more open douchebags, the war proponents and the rich. Good with lock-picking, pick-pocketing, sneaking and speech, and is a magic-user, no weapons. Aims to join the Thieves' Guild. Has a big heart beneath it all, and will go off on tangents to do daft quests for people.

Current short-term goal in life is to acquire a dog.

Name: Thadious
Race: Breton
Alignment: Lawful Good
Archetype: Battlemage
Skills: One Handed (Dual Wield / Blade focus) | Heavy Armor | Conjuration (Necromancy focus) | Enchanting | Alteration | Restoration | Smithing | Speed
Questlines: Main Quest (Completed) | College of Winterhold (Completed) | Imperial Legion (Incomplete)

Essentially, my character would be considered a "Shadow Knight" - a heavy melee tank warrior, skilled in Necromancy, and stealing the souls of his victims to use to imbue his equipment with arcane properties.

I used to love playing stealth, mage, ranged style characters. I'd always play some kind of mage (typically Necromancers) or some kind of stealth assassin type of character, and often times when I could (in games like Elder Scrolls that allow for total control over your character) I'd combine the 2 and be a stealth assassin skilled in Necromancy.

However, when Warhammer Online came out, Chaos was the only race in the game that I actually played on table top (my favorite race was Vampire Counts, and they weren't in, and my other favorite race was Wood Elves, and they weren't in) so I decided to play Chaos. I ended up playing a Chosen Warrior, and the whole tank archetype was something new to me, but I actually really liked it. So I now enjoy playing tank style characters, so when I got Oblivion for the X-Box 360 (ended up rebuying it after my laptop at the time blew up on me and I couldn't play it on PC anymore), I decided to essentially recreate my WAR character, with a few creative changes. That's what got me Khulain, a typical Shadow Knight, corrupted and possessed by a lust for power, and gave in to the dark arts (Necromancy, soul stealing). Thadious is essentially the mirror image of that - same powers, but he uses those powers for good, and he controls his powers instead of allowing those powers to control him.

It's essentially a high fantasy version of Jedi / Sith. Light side / Dark side, Khulain is possessed by the Dark side, while Thadious is able to remain "good".

I accidentally deleted Thadious (and Khulain) when I accidentally wiped every save file I ever had off of my X-Box 360, but I recreated Thadious and have been playing him for a bit. Still loving the build. I'm only about level 15 with him right now, only about 10 hours or so in.

When I deleted the original Thadious, he was level 37-38, 95 hours in, and had completed the main quest, College of Winterhold, and was nearing the end of the Imperial Legion questline.

My first character in Skyrim is a Nord warrior (currently at level 33), main skills are 2-handed, heavy armor and smithing. I haven't finished the main quest (of course), finished the Companions guild quest (which kinda disappoint me because it's too short). It's my first time playing Elder Scrolls series so I've had so much fun so far.

But after watching some Let's Play on Youtube of stealthy/thief type of character, I decided to start a 2nd one: Dunmer (currently at level 9) and also started roleplaying seriously (no fast-travel / character with back story / eat + sleep often, etc.) This type of character is so much more fun than playing as warrior right now (for me, at least); sneaking everywhere and planning ahead before attacking, etc. This really lets me explore the area/world in much more detail, too. Really is an eye opener. Oh I'm also considering this character to later become a hybrid of assassin/mage (is there a specific term for this?) -- adding illusion and maybe conjuration to the skill trees.

Dunmer Nightblade = Sneak, Illusion, Destruction, One-Handed.

I had a Nord battle mage who specialized in fire spells and enchantments. She was a diehard Stormcloak and didn't do any guild quest lines. Lived in Windhelm and did not marry anyone.

2nd character was a Nord thief/ assassin whose main skills were archery and alchemy. Never finished the civil war but did finish the MQ. Based out of Riften and married Balimund.

My 3rd character is an Altmer mage. I'm roleplaying her as anti-Thalmor resistance, so she does some sneaky stuff as well as illusion, conjuration and destruction. I'm working through the college quest line with her.

What kind of character am I in Skyrim? There are three. I'm been two of them so far. Mage is next.

My character is a Female Imperial Stealth Archer. I should have chose to be a Bosmer instead for the Archery bonus, but most of the elves are pretty ugly in this game. I care for aesthetics more than stats.

Nord: James

Level: 25

Skills above level 50: Speech, Smithing, Heavy Armor, One-handed, Sneak

What I'm currently doing: Trying to up archery, because I accidentally killed my easy way of doing so.

I've explored most of Skyrim, been killed 7 times, killed 500+ people and 30something animals. Haven't touched the main quest, at least I don't think. I'm pretty much invincible when it comes to anything that can't cast spells, breathe fire, or bench-press a mountain.

Dear Friend,

I have made it to skyrim, albet the rest of my party is dead,our poor Lady included. I found these really nice men in the woods after the bandits had left me for dead. I traveled with them for a while. Unfortunatly I almost died from loose of my head when mistaken for a rebel!!! You will never beleive that I was saved from the headsmans axe by a dragon!!! Really a dragon!

I joined a group of warriors called companions in Whiterun, after learning to weild a battle axe and shoot a bow. I went on many jobs for them and ended up as their Harbringer, which is not exactly a leader. I have looked all over the plains that are around Whiterun, but my fatheris not in this area. An old guardsman told me he thought my father might have went to the area around Markarth to look for a place to open an Inn. I have bought a house their.

I will continue my search. I hope this letter is finding you well? and after so long maybe you have finally married that gaurdsman? If not you are more than welcome in my home. If you can not afford the trip let me know I have some money still and will gladly sent it.

Your friend, Keri Wintersheild
