Birthsign real life - in game

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 5:09 pm

The Ritual Morning Star January
The Lover Sun's Dawn February
The Lord First Seed March
The Mage Rain's Hand April
The Shadow Second Seed May
The Steed Midyear June
The Apprentice Sun's Height July
The Warrior Last Seed August
The Lady Hearthfire September
The Tower Frostfall October
The Atronach Sun's Dusk November
The Thief Evening Star December

What is your Birth Sign in real life and what is your character's? Example:

Mine (real life) would be the Warrior.
My character's birthsign is the Apprentice and her birthday is 11' Sun's Height.

Mine is Atronach.

Buffy's birthday is Rains Hand, the 19th, 3E 415 under the sign of the Mage.

The moment of her birth is detailed in Episode 20 of her Journal. Although some of Buffy's friends will recall that I have posted it here before, here's a snip:

* * *"Daenlin, what's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I was just recalling the morning you were born." His eyes sparkled brightly with moisture. "Like the good godfather your parents asked me to be, I had spent most of the starry Rain's Hand night pacing the front porch of The Fair Deal with your father. Nilawen was inside helping Terry Ann give birth. It was at the very moment of sunrise that we heard your first cry. When Nilawen came out to tell us about it, Superior boasted that your birth is what had caused the sun to rise." Daenlin stared at the empty wooden cup in his hands. After a moment he raised his eyes to meet mine.

"Where did the years go, Buffy?" A single tear finally escaped and traced a path down the age lines of the Bosmer's rugged cheek. "Why just yesterday, you were eight years old when I took you on as an apprentice. I taught you the bow, and you sparked the long-forgotten joy of life into this old elf's tired spirit. Look at you now. You're all grown up, and a graduate of the Arcane University."

I reached across the small table. I could feel the rough bowstring calluses on Daenlin's fingers as I pressed his open hand against my cheek. "I will always be your little apprentice. Will you take me hunting tomorrow morning, Master?"

My real life birthsign would be the Tower, according to the months lifted there, though I never really paid attetion to the months in the Elder Scrolls and certainly never knew their real life equivalents, but my character's is the Mage, never really thought about the exact date of her birth, or really cared. Most of the time, my character's birthsign is chosen based on which abilities I want. For my current character, I chose some magic skills but her main focus is on stealth, so I wanted to get a bit of extra magicka but figured I didn't need the additional disadvantages of the Appentice or Atronach.

My real-life birthsign would be The Thief. I don't have a character at the moment.

Mine waffles back and forth between the Tower and the Atronach depending on which game you go by. But seeing as this is the Oblivion section, it would be the Tower.

My characters usually end up under the Thief.

I am born under the Lord. Only one of my characters was ever born under it, and that was before I knew the way the months corresponded to real ones, so when I found out what month the Lord fell under, I made his birthday the same as mine.

Real life, the Atronach. My character... the Atronach. Perhaps it's a sign that I will play Oblivion until, well, oblivion.

I'm born in June, so I'm born under The Steed. Which I think is actually rather fitting.

Helena Aurelie celebrates her birthday on the 10th of Sun's Height, making her sign The Apprentice. Coincidentally this is because a much of my inspiration for her came from my best friend, who's birthday is the 10th of July. I asked her opinion, and she thought it was a hilarious idea. So I went ahead with it, and so far Helena has been my favourite character to play. Odd? Yes.

Sepht Vultori - He was born in 12 August and his birthsign is The Warrior.

My own birthsign is the Mage, which isn't like me at all <_< My Dunmer was born under the Steed, but only because I was interested in the speed bonus that came with it. But, reading the description on UESPWiki, it seems rather fitting.

In RL the Ritual, a sign I have never given any of my characters!

I generally pick a character sign for a stat setting rather than any Powers available, using Lady, Warrior, Atronach or Mage according to build.

In RL I would be an Atronach. I usually play my new characters as Warriors for the initial strength boost.At level two or three I turn the sign into the type of character I wish my character to become, Mage,Warrior,Thief,and occasionally Shadow for an asassin.

I was born on the 27th of First Seed, so I am a Lord, which isn't very great. Although, I suppose it is true of me, I do have a weakness to fire.
Rythe was born on the 18th of Rains Hand and is a mage.

Apprentice :dry:

Not my favorite birthsign, but if it weren't so detrimental I would use it on my mages.
