Hathei was am Argonian farmer/fisherman that was run out of town for his use of dark magic. He was always interest in Illusion magic and experimented with it on the wrong person at the wrong time. He fled to the closest place he felt safe. Little did he know he would have much rather stay a few nights in jail and now he's stuck in Skyrim.

- actually one of my less juicy ones. Really was trying to get him going.

Son looking for middle aged father runaway. Mother said the cowardly hooded father must be hiding where one would expect less, in the middle of Skyrim's civil war, after banging half of Elsweyr's and Cyrodiil's women and running away from fatherhood and alimony.

Oh, thank you. Are you trying to get tips/hints/help on RP'n?

Mosian is a Dark Elf from Morrowind. After killing someome with magic, they didn't wanted him anymore. He was getting arrested, and they took him to the Jail of Morrowind. He escaped, killed a few guards and ran away. He lived in a cave for like 2 years, but then, they found him. They knew they had to kill them, so they took him to Helgen. And yeah, that is where the story began.

Yes, I see now. I love what can be done with a Dunmer backstory.... diversity for sure.

I know, i chose the Stormcloaks instead of the Empire though, everone says : The Stormcloaks call the Dark Elf's ; gray skins. But i don't care, i want to defeat the Empire, because they didn't do much for Morrowind.

Exactly, that's MAJOR story telling. I wish I had the time and patience for it but I tend to just RP as I go.

Once again, for the hundredth time, copy/pasted with all due respect for both idleness and repetition.

Gwyn Gwrach y Llanerch,White Witch of the woods, real name Ilirien Ehelar, earned the nickname from the local peasants as a child, when she constantly skipped her very expensive conjuration lessons to walk in the woods and pick mushrooms instead. Her parents were not happy, neither with her wilful attitude, or her desire to be an alchemist and healer when she grew up. "Being an Altmer Sorceress is a position of great worth, deserving of respect. An Alchemist is a mere tradeswoman." She left Summerset under a cloud after many violent arguments with her Noble, and therefore arrogant, father. Drifting across Tamriel, she acquired a taste for the 'tavern lifestyle', and spent more time getting in trouble with the human law than she did helping people with her healing skills. In an effort to remedy this, she took an apprenticeship as a healer in the temple of Dibella. This was short lived however, as the secret drinking habit was made public after a drunken pass at her tutor. She resolved to head north. There was trouble in Skyrim. Civil war brewing. She still remembered her destruction and illusion lessons, she owned a sharp blade, and no one seemed to mind when any mercenaries got good and drunk. Surely in a situation like this, even the Mer hating Nords would have work for a healer, or anyone who knew the most basic fire spell? Apparently not, as the semi drunken encounter with the Nordic border guards was soon to prove.

Found on a crumpled piece of paper in Haafingar : "Most respected father, a short missive from your outcast and disgrace of a daughter. I am fine. The province of Skyrim has become my home. I even have a minor noble title, bestowed on me by the Jarl of Haafingar, the rightful High Queen. I am still a healer, still a fool for a tale of woe, still too helpful for a 'Highborn'. You were disappointed at my choice of profession. Upset by my incalcitrance. Horrified by my attitude to those less fortunate. Well, you would curse the Aedra for letting me be born at all to see me now. I help those who ask, who need. I kill my enemies with remorse and sorrow. My best friend, and constant companion is a Khajiit. Though no master of the art, I have become a skilled blacksmith and weapon maker, and even you with all your refinement would be impressed by the jewelry I have created. Best and last though father, Know I am actively sought by agents of the Thalmor. They have tried, and failed, to kill me on several occasions. of course you know. How could you not? Were you horrified, worried for your little girl, embarrassed? Or did you give the order your blessing? One more secret too important for my honoured mother? Tell them to give up. All who have crossed me are dead. I will kill all who are sent. I will kill everyone who sends them after me, and at the last, with a tear in my eye and a weight on my heart, I will kill you too if it comes to that. Without mercy, though not without pity. How could I pity One as hallowed and esteemed as you, you may laugh? The rumours are true, but then you know that too. I am this 'Dovakhiin' they seek. Let them know. Let them come......"

Daddy's a noble. A big bad Thalmor noble, and this little princess doesn't like daddy, or his cronies, or the way he treats people. So she is going to be different, and teaches herself alchemy and healing instead of learning to summon Daedra like a good little Altmer girl. She hangs out with the peasants, makes a disgrace of herself, escapes to Cyrodiil, gets in more trouble, escapes to Skyrim, narrowly avoids the axe, grows up a little, and realises exactly why she is special, why she always loved this world and the people in it despite her upbringing, and why she didn't like the 'proper Thalmor authorities' when she was a child.

What is the best city for magic?

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:56 am

I have several characters with different backgrounds but the one I'm playing now is called Molag Lor. He's a dunmer who's spent all his life in Morrowind even after the Red Mountain erupted (yes he's pretty old by human standards). One day he got tired of living as an ashlander and decided he should go and try a better luck in another province so he left for Cyrodill. It didn't work out well and he became a beggar in the capital. After some time he heard that the Thieves Guild in Skyrim was recruiting new members and thought "what the hell" and set out to the nord province.
Arriving there he got caught in the middle of a civil war he didn't even know was happening and almost got decapitaded but eventually he scaped and made it to Riften where the Guild's HQ is supposed to be.

Spoiler

He climbed up the ranks of the guild, uncovered a conspiracy plot and met Karliah, another dark elf for whom he fell in love. Unfortunately Karliah's heart already belonged to the former and now dead Guild master. Molag thought that if he also became the guild master Karliah would love him, so he worked hard to bring the guild back to it's former glory and became their leader but it did little to change Karliah's heart. She respected Molag for what he has done but could not forget her only and true love.

Spoiler

The rejection drove Molag mad and in a fury attack he went on a killing spree on Windhelm where several innocent people became victim of his rage, but he never got caught. He threw his Nightingale armor in the river and decided he didn't want to have anything to do with the Thieves Guild anymore because this only brings him sad memories of his love. He never returned to Riften again.

Spoiler

One day he met a boy who was trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood and pretended to be an assassin. The boy sent him to kill someone in Riften. Molag hesitated for a minute but decided to go anyways. He went in and out of the town as fast as he could to avoid being seen by his former guild mates. After the deed was done he returned to the boy and recieved his payment. It felt so fulfilling and he started to realize that he enjoyed the killing.

Spoiler

After a while he was contacted by the botherhood. He joined them and is now working for them expecting that the constant danger of being killed will someday make him forget about Karliah.

Greeno the Pedophile as you know is a pdeophile. As an Orc who was kicked out of his stronghold for... you know, made his own personal quest.... To molest everyone in Tamriel. After 20 years traveling the land playing with people, he was arrested by the legion for molesting Titus Mede II. He was sent to skyrim to be executed.... That's all I have

Don't worry. The Empire might forgive him if he ends the civil war by molesting Ulfric himself... Which will result in his suicide he was traumatized that much.

At the top of your posting box, the first three symbols look like a light switch, an eraser, and a page with green bars. Click on the third one, the page. Then choose spoiler from the drop list, and type or paste into the small text box.

Btw, like the idea of rejecting the guild over a love failure.

See other than Winterhold where I've studied and practiced my magic I don't there is any one specific place. With Skyrim I think you have to find the magic yourself which is cool. My best suggestion for a more magic driven story is to stay up north by Dawnstar, Solitude, and Winterhold for while.
