I would have thought at least a couple people would be interested... :nope:

I agree anyways I like the Dar’J out of the most of them but I am kind of upset that you made non with Wanting to be Undead by the way All of them seem nicely Build.

I'm interested, but those characters comprise the 3 basic archetypes: warrior, mage, rogue. They are not very original, and you didn't include a background story so there isn't much to comment on .

Thanks!


I though I would focus on covering every play style while giving myself a chance to regularly play each character. Where you see unoriginal archetypes like warrior, mage, and rogue...I see so much more. To each his own I guess, but thanks for taking the time to check it out anyways.

Good job, TC. They sound like fun characters.

I do the same in planning out characters with backstories. I always try to connect them to Cyrodiil and the Oblivion Crisis in their stories.

I just started an Altmer Mage that is mostly just about himself. He follows certain Mage traditions, like no swords, shields, or Armor. He's into Alchemy and Enchanting.

HOWEVER...it's his attitude and style that define him, and make him so much fun to play even though he's "boxed in" to the classic Mage archetype. He worships Talos now because he was Cured of Sanguinare Vampiris at the Whiterun shrine. He doesn't pick fights, but will take on anyone that challenges or threatens him. He does have a stuck-up attitude because of his heritage, yet he'll help people...if it's worth his while. He respects all things natural and Magical, and preserves nature by only harvesting the ingredients he needs. His replies are always smug, boastful, and condescending, unless he has to charm his way into something. So on and so forth.

Roleplaying the character allows for so much diversity every playthrough. It doesn't matter if you're the stereotypical Greatsword wielding, mead drinking, Steel Plate wearing, mindless Nord. It's how you feel about them and how you view them as they traverse the land and it's inhabitants that adds richness to your own narrative and experience.

I would've found this interesting but there's no back story and the characters are based on the basic character classes so there's no originality.

Yeah so far they are all fun, and the RPing makes everything more interesting.

I like the sound of your altmer the Talos worshiping thing sounds cool, and I fully agree with your take on roleplaying the characters.
