The ancientsThose characters were played from 2006 to summer 2007. Most of them were on my old PC, without HDR or even high texture details. Character #1 and #2 were lost.

Integration name: Ranis Avani
Notable experiences: This was probably the first character I really
played Oblivion with. I had to write a walkthrough, so character #1 was just that. And character #2 was retired very quickly due to me being unhappy about various things. Walking through the rain to Leyawiin, over a bridge, without haste, that's an image I can't get out of my head.

Integration name: Natheile of Alinor
Notable experiences: With her I finally finished the Mages Guild, and let's just say I was underwhelmed. Aside from that I don't recall much, except testing mods. Well, it was the last character I played without OOO, and the first I played with a hunger and sleep mod.

Integration name: Shenara Hleras (note however that the Integration appearance was made older)
Notable experiences: First character with which I played OOO, and that was an experience by itself. Additionally the character I switched PCs with - that's why you can notice HDR there

. I also recall (now having HDR and distant land for the first time) walking the "Mora path", which is the only area in Vanilla that can compete with the Unique Landscapes. Fantastic!

Integration name: Karrizy
Notable experiences: Shivering Isles. Was also the first Khajiit I ever played, mostly influenced by "Tsavi", who is just totally cute. Oh and of course "The Ultimate Heist", one of the most thrilling quests in Vanilla!

The "regulars"After long resisting adding any bonus races to RBP, I finally gave in and added some. Interestingly since then I've played only two Vanilla races. Smells like hypocrisy, I know. Additionally not only RBP changed greatly, but I also added FCOM to my game.

Notable experiences: Playing a mage with a race without any magical talents was quite a challenge, but a fun one. Was the only character for which "self shadows" ever looked good.

http://www.tikanderoga.net/bg2408/pics/tes/tesaChar11Xivilai1.jpg
Integration name: Firstande
Notable experiences: Oh. My first Xivilai. It was strange, but in a good way. Also while LAME was in my load order for a year now, I finally decided to go public, and therefore made a lot of tests. The mayhem I caused in Skingrad is worthy of legends. Unfortunately a nasty savegame corruption caused by another mod forced me to abandon her.

http://www.tikanderoga.net/bg2408/pics/tes/tesaChar12Xivilai2.jpg
Integration name: Ulasza
Notable experiences: After Xivilai I had to be abandoned, I immediately created her. Not only did I finished large parts of the game, but I also visited Nascosto Isles for the first time, which is (or was, they have imho changed for the worse in the version 3 update) an experience for itself. A very great holiday atmosphere.
Started playing at: 1. Sep. 2007
Retired due to: Same problem as described for the next character.
http://www.tikanderoga.net/bg2408/pics/tes/tesaChar13Ohmesraht1.jpg
Integration name: Kiyana
Notable experiences: Not only my first Ohmes-raht ever created, but also the first character I visited the Unique Landscapes - Colovian Highlands with, which are breathtaking. Sadly she died much too yound on savegame corruption (a major FCOM update gone awry [I jumped several version numbers]. While the character was playable after a clean save, the loss was just too great to continue).

Integration name: Beramkne
Notable experiences: After I lost not one, but two Xivilais and my Ohmes-raht, I tried to create a Xivilai with a twist, which is "being blue". Didn't quite work out like I thought. Additionally she's linked to RL troubled I had back then, and was therefore quickly abandoned.

Integration name: Chandra the Bloodthirsty (LAME secret spell merchant)
Notable experiences: Not so much by her, but by other players I've annoyed with screenshots. No one ever believed me that she was a Nord. I think I put her into LAME just to prove them wrong.

Notable experiences: Making videos for LAME. Lame, I know. But it's true! The character mostly appearing in the first three LAME trailers is her.

Integration name: Tesserayiel
Notable experiences: A double edged sword. On the one hand she was the character who experienced the breakdown of my old GPU first. On the other hand she's one of the three characters I played the longest, and had the most adventures with. The last trips to Nascosto Isles, last time I finished the Mages Guild, and also one of the last times in which I put regularly new mods into my Oblivion. In my opinion she's one of the most beautiful characters I've ever created.

______________________
Under the shadow of IntegrationThe following characters fall into an interesting time period: First, my GPU died and I had to live with a bad replacement card for several months. The next card I got was broken, too. Only at the end of the year I got a working one again. Second, Integration's development was started, and a lot of the characters were therefore mostly involved in testing Integration, than with actually playing the rest of Oblivion, or putting new mods into my game.
http://www.tikanderoga.net/bg2408/pics/tes/tesaChar20Ohmesraht3.jpg
Integration name: Revendri
Notable experiences: The character I played the longest, in both actual playing time and months. She's the only character that survived all GPU changes. Beside Integration she also went through the Lost Spires, which unfortunately left it's mark on the savegame. If this hadn't have happened, I guess she would still be an active char.
