Ok, so my Morrowind character got stuck and I have to do a certain dungeon again, so I don't feel very motivated to play him.

Instead I decided to do something I've done in Skyrim before: A survival contest. I've created a bunch of characters, and let them loose in the world, and the one who reaches the highest level without dying is the winner.

Emperor Uriel Septim wanted to create a fake Nerevarine to deal with the Dagoth Ur problem - a Nerevarine loyal to the Empire. According to the prophecies, he or she should be born under a certain sign, but that was all they knew. So the Emperor's agents found eight people born under that sign (I chose the warrior), whom easily could be captured (or already were captured) and sent to Morrowind without it getting too much attention. Caius Cosades will have to deal with the rest, the Emperor thought. He knows Morrowind better than I do, and he'll know better what it takes to succeed.

These are the people in question:

Race: Dunmer

Class: Student

The son of Tuls Valen, a Tribunal priest. Avryn was sent abroad to study and learn about the world, not expecting that he would be stopped by Imperial guards upon his arrival in Cyrodiil and sent back to Vvardenfell!

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss181/inverse_hippie/Leila_zpsa4920551.jpg

Race: Redguard

Class: Arena Combatant

Leila was a combatant at the Arena, fighting for the Yellow Team. She was handed over to the legion by her boss without any explanation. They probably paid him for it.

Race: Altmer

Class: Criminal Scum

She owned a goblin rental service at the Waterfront. Guess why she was arrested.

Race: Nord

Class: Bruma Guard

A guard in Bruma, who was arrested after a drunken brawl with an officer. The officer was deemed innocent, of course.

Race: Imperial

Class: Local weirdo

A farm girl who is not the brightest bulb, but very interested in magic. She was arrested for practising necromancy on her neighbor's chickens.

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss181/inverse_hippie/Marcus_zpse3578b37.jpg

Race: Imperial

Class: Imperial Bureaucrat

One of the Emperor's own men. He is in fact not a prisoner, but has to play the part.

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss181/inverse_hippie/Nerys_zpse6decd0d.jpg

Race: Dunmer

Class: Smuggler

A well known criminal from Blacklight, who tried to escape Morrowind justice by migrating to Cyrodiil... He failed.

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss181/inverse_hippie/Rzahr_zps8a7a4929.jpg

Race: Khajiit

Class: Shopkeeper

A humble trader from the Imperial City. He used to sell carpets, pottery and other furnishings and home decorations. Was arrested for not paying his taxes... A false accusation.

I will update every playing session.

If anyone else wants to make their own survival contest and post in this thread, you're very welcome!

I don't know if my character qualifies, but I'm playing DiD, so I suppose she does.

As such she has an Altmer's weaknesses to magicka, as well as a slight bonus to her own magicka pool (accomplished via a custom birthsign). She's born under The Apprentice too, which probably wasn't the best idea for my first playthrough in years.

The instant she sees a spell about to be cast, she chugs whatever she has on her to help her run faster and gets the Oblivion out of there! The Mage in Addamasartus took out 4/5 of her health with one Fireball...

Edit: I forgot to add details about her class and such. I've become so absorbed into the RP that it doesn't really factor into my thought processes about her.

Chani is a Sorceress, that is, she's a pure Mage who favours Conjuration and Illusion but has a working knowledge in all schools of magic. She has no armour skill, instead relying on stealth and a short blade in dire circumstances to get by.

But I'd much rather you thought of her as I do, she is merely Chani Belavyn. A young Dunmer girl trying to get settled on this strange new island she was shipped off to.

A beautiful lady! She does look a little Altmer.

Thank you <3 That's the look I was going for. Tried to mess around with set.scale in the command console to make her a little bit taller, but the first person camera doesn't change with it, so I gave up on that idea.

I'm rooting for Nerys, Maria and Miriall out of all your characters. Mostly because their brief backgrounds made me smile.

Session 1

Character: Avryn Valen

Level: 1

------------------

Tuls Valen, steward of the temple in Ald'Ruhn, looked up in astonishment as the front door opened and his son stepped in.

"You! Why... why are you back? Did something happen??"

Avryn told him everything. How he had been arrested by Imperial legion upon his arrival in Cyrodiil, and how they had confiscated all of his belongings and sent him back to Vvardenfell as a prisoner... and how he had been released in Seyda Neen.

"They asked me to deliver a package to some Caius Cosades in Balmora. So I thought I might as well do that before heading back home. Some old Imperial... And he wanted me to work for him. I declined. It all seemed very suspect."

"You were right to decline, my child. There's something foul going on. And I have no doubt reporting to the authorities will only get us into worse trouble. But oh, what are we to do now? I had arranged everything! It wasn't cheap."

Avryn rested a while and then decided to go out and gather some ingredients for the temple alchemist to get his thoughts off the matter. One of the guards was blocking the exit and refused to move.

"Give me the password, boy!"

"Oh, stop it! I'll tell my father."

Avryn gathered some scathecraw, fire fern and trama root outside the city. He has not been in combat yet.
