So I thought it would be interesting to hear about any character ideas based on either fictional or real characters from outside the tes universe. They could be based on characters from tv shows, movies, other games, comics, even real people-athletes, historical figures, etc.

Eg:

I thought of making Blanka from Streetfighter II (my favourite sf2 char).

As soon as I thought of it I searched on youtube and found someone else did it, but whatever, I don't think they got it right anyway. For me what appeals is I can never get into a mage character, but I feel with blanka it would make sense (the youtube guy's blanka wasn't even a mage), and I could actually get into it.

So Blanka-

Race- Orc (obviously)

Full weight, light green skin, red hair, white eyes (again all obvious). I think the hair could be any of the longish styles, unfortunately none are just wild and free like blanka in sf2 but I'd just imagine he decided to tie his hair back in a platted pony tail.

Master of shock destruction magic, only shock/lightning, etc, all the electrical destruction spells.

He'd also be a cannibal for obvious reasons (for those who don't know one of blanka's moves is biting his opponents face off).

Besides shock magic, all he would use is unarmed, but it would be maxed out as much as possible, so level and perk up enchanting to enchant guantlets and a ring with unarmed from the pugilist gloves. Also get the heavy armour perk for to do your guantlets armour rating in additional damage.

Obviously blanka should wear ragged trousers (enchanted with a magicka boost of some kind, like I said I don't mage so I don't know) and I feel nordic guantlets (enchanted with unarmed) and boots(enchanted with stamina maybe? I dunno) would be pretty sharp.

It just occured to me that blanka can't wear two rings, and so can't have an unarmed ring and the ring of namira, this is irritating, but I think I'll honestly just endure switching back and forth to feed and fight respectively.

That's about it I think?? A very basic build, but I like it, and will embark on it post-haste.

In the meantime, post your "borrowed" character ideas.

I have a character based loosely on Liliana from Dragon Age: Origins. She is red-headed Breton Bard/spy from High Rock. Her major skills are light armor, archery, one handed, sneak, and speech.

She is a worshiper of Dibella for the ability to sway men. She works as a spy and infiltrator for the Imperial Army and the Blades (so far).

Plans are for her to join the Bards college in Solitude after she finished the CW and Main Quests.

My Battlemage Derrik was loosely based off of Damien Vryce warrior Priest from the Cold Fire series, by C.S. Friedman. I have always meant to do a character based off of Gerald also, anti-hero type....vampire.

If I ever manage to get my PC, my first real character ( I'll create one to get the settings and such right first) will be based off of Vanyel in the Last Herald Mage series by Mercedes Lackey.

I'm pretty sure most of my characters have been loosely based, without me even realizing it, off of characters from book's I have read.

My current character and my next planned character are both based on characters from a fantasy novel I wrote (published back in 2010 when I could still use my hands for extended periods of time to write), so I guess I'm "borrowing" from myself. There's at least one other character in the novel that I might base a future character on. As for borrowing from other books/movies/etc, I've toyed with a few ideas but none have really appealed to me...probably because the writer in me still wants to be creating stories about my own characters.
