My first Skyrim character will probably be in his 40s or 50s. There's something appealing to me about roleplaying a character who has already lived much of their life going on a journey again and rediscovering their abilities: much moreso than the cliché'd "young unlikely hero" archetype. Lots of potential character development as well, for these older characters may come to question their previous values or find themselves at odds with lifelong loyalties to the guilds and the like.

Well, or I may do an Altmer. In which case he'll be well over several hundred years old.

That would be interesting.
A 700 year old elf.
Running at full speed,shouting at high pitches, owning literary everything in sit.
That would be a worthwhile look.

I always try to make my character as similar to myself as possible.

Same here, except my warrior and assassin are going to be around the same age. I do have another character planned (a paladin/holy knight type of character) who will be middle aged though.
