How are you RPing your characters?

Post » Fri Apr 19, 2013 11:57 am

I currently have two! A level 51 Nord warrior (shield and sword kind), and a Altmer conjuration & destruction mage. Before my Xbox stopped accepting updates I think I had him at 35 (I sent my box in for repair)


My Nord. Bit of an oaf. Seems to always get into trouble, (joining the thieves guild, and the brotherhood) all purely by chance and accident. (Gertrude was killed by hit men sent after me, I got the blame) Paarth was killed in battle by Alduin, but the greybeards could not accept this and blamed the dragonborn. He tried his luck as a bard as his first step to making up for all these bad things that happened because of him, eventually killing the wolf queen, and helping a dead insane king.

Later he tried to see if magic could help him do good, as luck would have it the Thalmor gave him the chance, Finally he joined and became the harbinger of the companions, and said no to the wolf curse. He even saved a vampire from her curse, and defeated Miraak the first dragonborn. Finally he married his trusted follower Mjoll and lives in windhelm. Also like all true Nords, Helped the stormcloaks win the civil war and put Alduin to rest.

_________________________________________


My Altmer. Total jerk. Burned Gertrude alive, gave astrid the shock treatment, joined the companions and is slowly killing their members by using them as fodder. Betrays his own kind when ever his interests do not align with the Thalmor. Became arch mage of the mage guild to gain its secrets for his own plans. Defeated the stormcloaks and destroyed Alduin as if he was nothing. He has learned of a group of vampires who can help him achieve his goals. He thinks the thieves guild can give him more knowledge, he is also researching in the Mage colleges library. He knows of Miraak, but will increase his own powers first.


how about you guys?

I'm attempting my first at RPing.

She's a female Nord who was raised in Hammerfell but has Nordic values. Her father fought in the Great War and her mother used her Restoration magic to heal those who came back wounded. During one of those visits, her parents met and did the naughty. Her father was one of the few that stayed in Hammerfell after the remaining forces went back to Cyrodill. As she grew up there, she learned the ways of the blade (or axe, for her) by her father and the Redguards and the usage of Restoration by her mother. She's traveled to Orsinium to learn to how fight in Heavy Armor, while she was there she learned the craft of smithing. She's become friendly with the Orcs. Never being to Skyrim, she wanted to travel there to learn the art of creating Ebony Armor, the largest concentration of the source is in an Orc Stronghold near the ancient city of Windhelm.

I'm stilling working on it as it is my first try, but she ends up caught alongside Ulfric. I know she won't end up being Dragonborn though.

I always do. Dragons have always been a pain for me in the early days so I stopped doing the MQ at a low level. I'll wait until I'm in my 30's.

Nazir, he's a pretty cool guy. I suppose you can RP that you got your training from the Alik'r.

Yeah i never really tried anything other than a typical warrior in these types of games. I think a bow and arrow assassin would be a nice change

I'm resuming my old Dovahkiin RP I was saving until the last DLC came out (which was months ago, apparently, heh).

He's a reckless Breton Battlemage who thinks he's going to solve all of Skyrim's problems by himself. He's well-meaning idealist, but sometimes he causes more harm than good. The power of the Thu'um is'nt doing him any favors, either, and is slowly turning him into an unforgiving vigilante. This RP is kind-of a stab at the old Ideal Hero achetype and protagonist-centered morality, and also me indulging in my own sadism. Depending on how things turn out, he'll either be a broken shell of what he used to be or one of Skyrim's greatest heroes.

Currently playing my level 55 female nord Kavita. She lost her parents as a child by accident. There was a group of Dawnguard chasing down some vampires when they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and were killed by the DG. Kavita fled into the wilderness where she learned how to use a bow and hone her fighting skills. Later as an advlt she became a vampire solely to destroy the organization that forever changed her life. She's driven on revenge and pure rage and will stop at nothing to get it.

As a Dunmer refugee, Bifrost felt that living in Windhelm was not the life for him. So he went adventuring, though he got a bit more than he bargained for when he discovered that he is the Dragonborn. After a while, he decided to see what can be done about the War, only to realize that he didn't care for fighting battles of other people. Feeling depressed, he collapsed in front of Lakeview Manor, the property he has purchased and built. He started hearing voices in his head, beckoning him to come to Dawnstar. There he found a curious man tending a "Mythic Dawn" museum, which in turn had him retrieve the fragments of Mehrunes Razor. After bringing the fragments back to this Museum curator, they ventured off to the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon. Where, after hearing the same voice from his previous encounter, he disposed of the curator so he could claim the Razor. Mehrunes spoke again, congratulating him on a well profitable journey to claim the Razor, and then making the offer that if he bests two of his champions, he would be granted even more power. This was an easy task, and Bifrost has now been reborn as a Daedric Champion, able to conjure Daedra as he pleases. But only if he seeks out and destroys the Vigilance of Stendarr wherever they congregate,

Meh, best I could come up with.

My character, Oursted, is a milk drinker. Caught in a petty theft (of course) right after crossing the border into Skyrim, he found himself in this cart on its way to Helgen. Somehow there was a mixup w/ the papers and a dragon saved his furry tail. Trying to make a new start, he has pledged to not steal anything. (OK, he did borrow some steel arrows from the archery range in Windheim. Trying honest work: mining, mill work, smithing for profit. But he is determined not to kill dragons since one saved him. Hasn't been to Whiterun. May never go. Planning to join the Imperials.
Oddly, at level 10, he has not met a khajiit caravan. Nor has he bumped into M'aiq The Liar. He's getting a little lonely.
Likes to munch on salmon.

I'm RPing my Redguard as a non-Dragonborn. He wounded Mirmulnir badly, then let the guards finish him off and walked away from the scene. So now there's a dead dragon rotting outside the Northern Watchtower.
