Are you going to carry on your character from the oblivion crisis, maybe your character contracted hemophilia and doesn't age? 200 years after mehrunes dagon tried to destory tamriel? Maybe your character is a descendant from your previous hero of kvatch? Mine is Mei'Nyar, the Khajiit. Females were hardly taught the sacred martial art of Sunken Talon but when her caravan was attacked by bandits in the sun-beaten deserts when she was just a cub one of the few survivors decided in order to get back to safety he should teach her the art of Sunken Talon. Lost and disoriented they wandered for days in the desert until arriving to a grassland, leading to a cold sparse forest which widened into a massive tundra. Trekking in the harsh freezing waste they were ambushed by an imperial colony convinced they were outlaws they troupe descended on the lost and wary Khajiit the old Sunken Talon master put up a hardy but futile defense dying to the the imperials. Captured, Mei'Nyar and the old pregnant Khajiit, S'rusei, were led up a massive shard of rock jutting up the land, strange fluffy white rain slowly cascaded upon them and the temperature was colder than that of a desert night. S'rusei had trouble with the trek. Eventually she died from malnutrition leaving Mei'Nyar as the last Khajiit in the prisoner wagon, surrounded by strange Nords making crude remarks. Arriving at some sort of Hamlet, her story begins.
