Name: Nakota
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Redguard
Class: Agent (Sneak, Security, Speechcraft)
Alignment: Neutral Good

Alvor Indalas was a Nord loyal to the Empire. He fought in the Battle of the Red Ring and struck down many Altmer. After their hard-earned victory, he was shocked and angered by the Empire agreeing to the Thalmor's conditions and ceding of Hammerfell. Alvor was proud and stubborn; even though the Empire had abandoned Hammerfell, he would not. He deserted the Legion and crossed into Hammerfell, joining the Forebears in their fight against the Thalmor. During a daring raid on a Thalmor camp, Alvor was injured terribly, ending his soldiering days. The nurse who tended to his wounds was a beautiful half-Redguard half-Imperial woman named Anora. A romance blossomed between them and Alvor helped her tend to the wounded since his injury prevented him from fighting anymore.

A year later, Alvor and Anora are married in Whiterun where Alvor has friends and family, wishing to escape the fighting and chaos of Hammerfell and seeking a safe place for their future family. They have two children, Nakota and Freya, but things took a turn for the worst when a rebellion began to develop in Skyrim. Looking for somewhere safe to raise their family, they returned to Hammerfell where they established themselves in Sentinel. With the war over and Sentinel untouched, it is an island of stability, peace and prosperity in Hammerfell. Life is good for many years as they raised their children as citizens of Hammerfell, but Alvor decided to take a short trip to Falkreath to visit old friends and fellow veterans from the war. He is captured as part of an Imperial raid on the tavern, suspecting Stormcloak activity. Instead, they learn that he deserted the Legion and is sentenced to death and executed.

Nakota Indalas, Alvor's son, is a capable Agent in the employ of King Daron of Sentinel. Outraged at his father's murder, he begged the King to let him go to Skyrim to avenge his father and monitor Imperial activity in the province rather than continuing the information-gathering mission in Bruma. The King gave in, and Nakota crossed into Skyrim from Cyrodiil, where he was ambushed and taken prisoner along with several Stormcloaks. He may not know it now, but his adventure is just beginning.



So yeah, my main character is a Hammerfell native who is spying on the Empire, the Stormcloaks and the Thalmor and trying to subvert these factions. He has no love for the Empire that capitulated to the Thalmor, nor does he love the racist Stormcloaks who have threatened all of Tamriel with their actions. He's in Skyrim to kill his father's murderers and to assess the situation in Skyrim.

I try to play him like I would behave in such a life/situation. Since he's against the Empire, the Stormcloaks AND the Thalmor, I have to play these factions off against each other. I kicked the Thalmor out of the truce negotiations, kill their justicars, steal their documents, free their prisoners, etc. I screwed over the Empire by getting them to surrender Markarth and taking Winterhold instead, but once the new Jarl took over in Markarth, I helped stage the Forsworn attack that decimates the city guard, essentially screwing over the Stormcloaks. Nakota excels at sneaking around and at persuading people. Since he's an agent in a new land, he sees the necessity of gaining influence and contacts and somewhat reluctantly joins both the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood if only for the information he can gather and people he can eliminate to the benefit of Hammerfell. At the moment, he is not an enthusiastic assassin, but needed the money. This led him to a Breton apothecary apprentice named Muiri, who left him her ring as a sign of her affection and told him she would never forget him, and he seems to be incapable of forgetting her. Finding out he is the Dragonborn has spurred him to push through the ranks of the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood, aiming for the top. After all, why serve a King in a distant land when you can be King in all but name in Skyrim?

My first, highest and favourite character is my Khajiit. A nasty, thieving, murdering extortionist, about to get into assassinations.

Why be nice to people as you are expected to be in real life? :devil:

I've recently made 2 more characters, they are:

Farvardin, a Nord, and a werewolf. He is a man of action, and sometimes comes across as dim because of this. He loves to hunt, although he can be very reckless (he got savaged by a mammoth during his last hunt...), and he loves to fight. He is a big, heavily built guy, and usually carries a war axe, unless he's hunting, in which case he carries a hunting bow. Despite all this, he actually has a soft side and is very kind and helpful to those he considers his friends. He also has a crush on Aela The Huntress...

The other character I made recently is Alburn, an Altmer thief. He's a real ladies-man, to the point that he often won't steal from women he deems attractive. He usually won't do favours for anyone, especially strangers, but he recently agreed to help a woman because he thought she was pretty. He currently goes from town to town, emerging in the night to steal whatever he can get his hands on. He has already been to jail once, and broken out, leaving him wanted in Whiterun. He is a very confident guy, a trait that often gets him into trouble when he takes on enemies that are far too strong, or tries to steal under circumstances that are nearly impossible.

Bosmer-Stealth. Okay, his name is Steve, he's kind of into killing anything that moves in his perifreal vision, so he's insane. However, even though he has a bounty of over 5000 in every hold, he helps poor people out and slays Draugr and stuff. So yeah, he's messed up, but he has a heart.

My character is an imperial who always took an interest in Sithis but was always a somewhat kind man but as of late due to unknown sources has slowly been becoming more corrupt and merciless.

In every incarnation I just play me- Or how I think I would be if this was real life.

Ditto. That makes me an empathetic, pretentious [censored].
