Build idea: The Vampire Bride

Post » Wed Feb 05, 2014 7:04 pm

After another failure with my PS3. I had to restore the whole thing and start over...again.

So I thought that if I do start over, that I want something that I haven't quite yet done before. Granted, the skillset I have done before. But not the roleplay, and for me that's what matters.

Incase you're wondering, I came up with the idea when I saw the film ''Van Helsing'' a few days ago.

The idea is to make a very ''femme fatale'' figure. (Not that the Vampires in Skyrim get a pretty face because of the condition but I'm sure I can work it out.)

Backstory:

Well, I didn't think much about it on the moment. But what I do know is that she's a bride and about 200 years old who'se bridegroom got murdered before her turning happened. Other than that the bride was of Noble birth. And her lover a warrior of common birth. And well, she became a vampire. Other than that, I'll see. My plan is to make it overdramatic and mesmerizing, although disturbing. Other than that, she's a poet and operatic singer. Despite possibly finding a second lover. She'll forever mourn the loss of her previous one and get all hysterical about it.

EDIT: I use ''other than that'' too much.

Personality:

Artistic and poetic

Refined, enjoys luxuries like wine and furs. You know, your symbolic ''Noble woman'' traits. Though I'm afraid a thick fur coat isn't in it for this woman. Got no PC for mods.

Overdramatic

Sorrowful

Mentally unstable

Romantic

Other information:

Name: Something Romanian. I'll get to that.

Age: Like I said, in the 200. But in appearance she looks like she's in her early 20's.

Gender: Well, so far I know brides are female. So female. :smile:

Race: Imperial (Probably the best race to fit the theme I'm going for. They're also the human race that works best with Vampirism aesthetically IMO.)

Dragonborn: No. Akatosh must be crazy to let a woman like this become Dragonborn.

Factions: The Volkihar, Bard College. Maybe the Dark Brotherhood.

Morales: She has no morales. She does whatever she wants whether that is good or evil.

Apparal: Sadly I can't give her a thick fur coat or something. It would fit her perfectly but I got no mods. So it's probably Vampire armour for her. Then again this fancy type would undoubtly change it quite often.

Build:

Illusion (Adds to the Femme Fatale idea)

Sneaking (Nothing more deadly than a bloodthirsty bride ending your life before realizing.)

One-handed (I'm considering a blade given that's a symbolic weapon for Nobles. The silver sword looks perfect.)

Block (For the blade.)

Speech (What's a femme fatale without her beauty expressed in words?)

Ideas?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that she'll be using the Vampire lord form alot aswell.

I know this will probably sound lame but...Maybe she could be the reason her lover died, as in, she went in blood lust mode and killed him and now she forever mourns and regerts what happened...

For apparel, maybe she could wear enchanted fine clothes?

Other than that, the rest sounds good to me.

I don't think I'll need enchanting. The only magic school she'll use is illusion. I worry that if I were to use enchanting, that it would cost too much skill points. That said, I will count it again and see if I can make it fit.

Besides, WtmB lacks character customization.

That's not a bad idea. Thanks for that one.

And she is Imperial by race so it wouldn't be awkward either.

Got to think about it, I might want to get rid of the weapons and use the Vampire lord form for melee combat. If that is viable.

Ah alright then.

I'll just let her stab people with the blade of woe and manipulate minds with illusion. When it comes to battle, Gargoyle form activate!

Come to think about it she'll look absolutely badass when using a master level illusion spell like Hysteria. I'm looking forward to that moment.

Go ahead with it. :)
