He is supposed to be a Dunmer Ashlander born to drive the Empire out of VVardenfell.

Lol i just made a Dunmer Ashlander just for this purpose! And to make it similar to an Aiel in Wheel of Time.

This should be in spoilers.

And the Nerevarine has no intended race. As you learn in the main quest, the old interpretations of scripture were wrong. The Nerevarine is an outlander. Even if you're a Dunmer you're still an outlander because you arrive on a prison boat from Cyrodill. You wouldn't be a native Dunmer. You'd be considered ignorant of Dunmer ways by the locals - an outlander. So be whatever you want to be. Choose a race and playstyle that suits you. The Nerevarine is a blank slate.

I've yet to come across anything canonising such information about any of the player characters in the Elder Scrolls games (well, except Redguard, of course), and every time the subject comes up in an in-game context they seem to go through loops to avoid doing so. I prefer it that way, anyway, it'd be a shame if it were someone other than my Dunmer pilgrim. :nod:

well lets look at what he/she did,
fight numerous monsters, daedra, ash things, people - they had to be proficiant in some martial school
Convince three houses and 4 tribes - so speechcraft
Many missions needed some stealth or finesse - sneak alteration or lockpick
leviatate to televanni wizards - alchemy or alteration

That would be the skills, but any race or gender

I always picked a nord to be neraverine. I don't know why but i always do

If i were you id just make your own canon on what race/gender/class

I would love picking an Argonian as the Neverine. It is very Ironic that a beast race is to become the Neverarine.

it's good that it's not specified. it's your game and your story

for me, it's a dunmer, although an outlander, ofcourse.
something like "the lost child, finally returning home", azura made him a dunmer to blend in with the natives.

the skills don't matter i guess. speechcraft is somewhat substituted by the moon-and-star.
you can avoid many opponents by stealth or magic or blast them with scrolls.
potions do the levitation trick, magical gadgets do the open lock trick.
so, the nerevarine only needs some wits to be prepared for any situation really.
