If you are not sure then perhaps a deep roleplay is not where you should go.

As you should be able to put yourself in their shoes for every choice they make, which sometime can be very different from your own.

Although if you still want to, why not play a young outcast that is unsure of the direction he wants to take and then just see which you prefer to use.

Hello there Lieutenant Frost! Good to see you.

Never done a deep role play but need help because I don't no what I should do battlemage nord warrior mage alchemist I just don't no what

Today, this is how I deep roleplayed: My character has gotten hold of certain confidential documents that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt The Empire has committed crimes against the inhabitants of Nirn, specifically on a foreign province it has invaded under false pretense. My character has made those documents public, documents which show Imperial actions have resulted in an outrageous number of casualties, including tens of thousands civilian deaths. Thus, the embarassed Empire has sought to get my character extradited via a mock legal process, all the while the alleged whistle-blower from whom my character allegedly got those documents is now imprisoned under inumane conditions, deprived of even the most basic rights. Hence my character has sought political asylum at the Yokuda Embassy in SKyrim.

The starting point for a good deep roleplay is to ask a few obvious questions about the character:

How and why was he/she taken prisoner by the Legion?
Why were they crossing the border into Skyrim?
What do they hope to achieve/ what is their goal?
What race are they, and do they like people of the same race? What type of people would they be friendly with?
What are their political and religious affiliations?
Do they have any fears? Or things they want to avoid?

Then you start thinking about the skills and combat style.

Once you've answered these questions, you can let the character be themselves, work towards there goal, and anything that happens to them, you can work out what to do based on their personality.
