How to create a proper RP character in Skyrim?

Post » Sat Oct 11, 2014 1:02 pm

I'm writing a book and I want to use my main character in Skyrim, but I don't know how. I'm using an image from Skyrim as the character's main appearance, but I don't know what qualities to use to make it. Help?

Bio for the character:

Saena: The heroine; half of the story will be written first-person point-of-view from her perspective; Saena is the youngest daughter of an honorable, well-to-do traveling merchant named Silam; the family travels between Euna and the outskirts of the Forest regularly; Saena has an elder sister named Phana who is mainly concerned with becoming a member of the Nobility; Saena enjoys the life of the traveling merchant, but her father impresses upon her the importance of finding the source of decay in the land and stopping it.

What exactly do you want to do in the Creation Kit? Do you want an image of your character to appear in a book?
