Perhaps live in Black Marsh and make my living catching and selling fish/animal skins. Black Marsh is awesome. :u

As for personality, probably would keep a lot of books in my TOP SECRET SWAMP SHACK and study the life around the area.

Witch hunter. I would probably join up with local organizations that hunted rogue mages and necromancers. Probably devote my life to hunting down Mannimarco, because he's like the Bin Laden of TES. :laugh:

A ruling king.

Got milk?

I probably wouldn't go adventuring. Would be some middleclass teacher at some school in some suburb or village without any meaning whatsoever. Or maybe a farmer of some sort, but no fancy stuff for me.... too dangerous.

i'd be an alchemist or apothecary...

i've got a bergamot plant on my kitchen window sill and morning glory vines all over my yard. i love nature and hiking, and i've developed rather proficient plant-identification skills.

now i just gotta find me some dreugh wax...

I'd probably be an Argonian Mercenary from Black Marsh with a particular set of skills in Parkour and Poison Making.

I would be something completly original:
In real-life I am smart, thus inspiring me to be an inventor/polymath.

I would have a warehouse somwhere in High Rock, Summerset Isle or Morrowind.
In said warehouse, I would have hundreds of books and manualscripts. Whilst leaving enough room for my inventions.
I would invent all kinds of war machines and transportation devices.
I would be the Tamrielic Leonardo da Vinci.

I would also be a master at elegant swordplay, not the hacking and slashing (more Assassin's Creed style)
But I would mostly just sit im my warehouse all day, not really communicating with anyone.

Betcha no-one saw that coming!

I'd make quite a talented thief.

Well I would like to be a warrior who goes round warding off evil. But if it's based on my character I would probably be stuck with being Rufio (I spend most of my time either in the pub or sleeping).

Oh my.

EDIT: Oh, and I'd be a male stripper.

I'd probably train as an archer from a young age and enlist into the Imperial Legion and be a legion forester or whatever they are called. The guards who hang around in the forest with bows. Or maybe just hang around the IC with a bow. Either way... I'd probably get into "criminal justice"

I'd be one of those awesome mage guys who just lax, do skooma, and study magic. I hardley study now, but I would if I could do magic.

Easy answer. An Imperial soldier. I'm a fighter, fit with the best gear the Imperials have to offer; finding my way in the world through the vehicle of the military. The Imperials aren't just master diplomats, they have an army to support them. Subdueing foreign lands with my sword and shield for our great nation sounds ideal to me.

based on my skills and what I do, I would probably be a Scout or Warrior type class, slight affinity for magics (Apprentice birthsign, so maybe Nightblade, Witchhunter, Battlemage or Spellsword would be my Forte), I would be an Agent of the Imperial Legion since they are the supreme military force on Tamriel, eventually advancing through Champion to Knight-Errant and maybe Bachelor. That or I'd be in command of a Skyrim Militia unit. My race would be Nord or Imperial, depending on ancestry.

I hate to admit it, but I have a very addictive personality. In a rough world like Tamriel, you'd probably find me in a basemant with a bent spoon and moonsugar.

I would be a warrior/ranger most likely. I might even be a member of the city guard, as long as they arent corrupted guards. I bow hunt in real life, so thats where the ranger part comes in. I am also pretty muscular so i think i could be a warrior. If i wasnt a city guard I would probably be just an adventurer going into dungeons and caves and the like treasure hunting, or maybe even part of something like the fighters guild.

Skooma addict, Pickpocket...

=D

I do rowing so I would probably end up as a sailor in the Imperial Navy ( how else do the ships move when there's no wind.) A poor life I guess but I get to travel form port to port very cheaply and who knows maybe rise through the ranks to become a Captain or better....

I noticed all my posts in this thread were deleted. wtf?

On top of being a scholar and a mage, I'd also be the town drunk. I enjoy ales and mead, perhaps a bit too much

I would be a librarian in a library and become a scholar. Then when I have enough money, I would spend the money on all the basic spells I can buy and become a good mage. Although I'd be a mage, at the same time, I'd be a warrior knight with the longsword. Of course I'd also have to wait to have enough money to buy long swords and the heavy armor. When I'm then skilled enough, I will go out and get items that are outside of towns and then return to the town and sell the items I got being kind of like a merchant. Eventually I'd buy a separate house. I'd join every faction possible and try to climb the ranks but do no dangerous missions because if it was reality, then you can't go to a past saved game. The land I'd live in would be Cyrodill.

no need to act like the FBI now

i'd enjoy working my way through the ranks of the morag tong

i would be a mage,blacksmith, or a bard

I'd like to be a bard but there are no working musical instruments and I svck at storytelling :yuck:
