A new character idea : V

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 11:55 pm

I've been thinking about making a new character build. I'm going to do a very, very pale Dunmer and call him the last Snow Elf. I'm not sure what his name will be, but he will be a battlemage with Vyrthur's armor (I forget what it is called), enchanted one handed weapons, high level destruction, and alteration spells. I am trying to make this an evil RP, so I probably won't have any followers. A lot of my playing areas will be in Northeast: Winterhold, Windhelm, Solstheim. He will be a Snow Elf conquerer (if you remember the stories of Saarthal, when the Snow Elves conquered the Nords). I'm not sure if I want to pursue Alduin, but I do want to complete the Dragonborn DLC. Please post comments on how this should happen thanks.

It's probably best to use an Altmer.

*conjures Hevnoraak* it may take some time for the spell to work

Thanks michaelpk, I'll think about that. I also wanted to know which Daedric lords a Snow Elf would worship (so I could gain their artifact).

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 10:45 pm

Yeah, Hevnoraak is your guy for this one Harry. He has a character called the Snow Prince. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to help you.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 7:22 pm

How would I contact Hevnoraak? Or would he just see this anyway?

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 1:20 pm

Hevnoraak sees all, my child.

But I second Altmer; they're naturally closer to what the Falmer would have been, lore-wise. And they can worship any Daedric Prince you fancy, as their pantheon was entirely Aedric, and any Daedra worshippers would have been outliers. Given the character of the race, though, Azura or Hermaeus Mora seem appropriate.

Hagrid I know about the in-game Hevnoraak, but I thought you ment a member of this board.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 7:49 pm

Harry! I was only joking. :rofl:

He's awoke from his ancient slumber anyway.. He now has a lot of time to browse the forums.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:48 am

Thank you all for your help. I will await for Hevnoraak's return.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 5:40 pm

Sooo, your name is Otar? In that case, he ain't Hevvy...

*puts on shades*

...he's your brother.

:teehee:

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 10:08 pm

oh this should be good. Otar needing help from Hev?

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 2:45 pm

That's quite a coincidence, I wonder if brother Hevnoraak will want to help his crazy sibling.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 9:11 pm

I think he already has "helped" his sibling.. But I'll say no more. :rofl:

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 11:19 pm

was just thinking about this... hehehe

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:49 am

If you are referring to that childish grudge he has, I'm sure he has grown up a little after being entombed for eons. If not, then oh well.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:39 am

*hears name chanted in unison several times in a row*

Taaaahrodiis Joorre... WHO summons me?!

Ah, Otar. It's been too long. :tongue:

For 4,000 years you have suffered from their genocide. Their wholesale relentless slaughter. The unquenchable blood-thirst of those barbarians. Those children of the enemy.

With the wildest of bad luck, he fell in battle from the most unlikely of sorts, in the most unlikely of ways. And from there on, the Falmer were as good as dead.

Be sure to take notes! :angel:

Now, before I can provide help... Are you on PC or console?

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 9:28 pm

Ahh, sadly I am on console.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 10:11 am

Don't let that stop you. Just take it as something to go on.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 1:53 pm

It's still do-able. But it's impossible to look like a Falmer. The palest mer are the Altmer, and they cannot get as pale as a Nord or Breton.

As an alternative, you could role-play an Altmer who feels vengeful sympathy for the Falmer. Finds Gelebor and the statue of Auri-El. Receives a *vision* from Auri-El. And decides to act in Auri-El's name to take on the burden of hate, and avenge the Falmer yourself. Wear snow elf armor along with Auri-El's shield and bow.

Daedra are a big no-no. Falmer were much like the Altmer. They were the closest of kin.

Feel free to summon Frost Atronachs though! The Falmer likely did it. You can summon lesser daedra, as long as you use them solely as tools.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 9:16 pm

Ok would this character be a warrior, or Mage or if not either, then what?

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 11:18 pm

Mostly warrior. But is more then willing to supplement his melee combat with some magic. Think of a battle-mage, but with a focus on melee. Use my Snow Prince as an example: Elegant, fierce, and majestic. He'll usually start combat by summoning a frost atronach, and then popping a frost cloak while throwing a few Ice storms/spears. Then depending on the enemy[the enemy's fighting style and distance] either switch to his sword and Auri-El's shield, or Auri-El's bow. He also uses wall of frost in conjunction with his sword every once and awhile.

I can get you some more pictures of him and his fighting style if you'd like, but what I posted above in spoilers should give you a good idea.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 7:53 pm

I'm assuming your not on pc so I would also go with an Altmer as they're closer to Falmer and simply explain away his appearance and being treated as an Altmer as an Illusion spell working splendidly.

As he'll be a battlemage I suggest specializing in Ice spells and also using the new sun spells added by Dawnguard.

» Fri Feb 28, 2014 12:07 am

Meh, I find that cheap and a stretch. A sympathetic Auri-El gung-ho Altmer with a chip on his shoulder for humanity, works fine.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 2:44 pm

I assume Nords are despised, and The Companions are a no-no. And, I probably wouldn't join the civil war for RP's sake, but if I did, I would choose Imperial.
