I'm playing a new character with a new play style that I'd like to share here and hopefully can get some ideas to better flesh him out in my mind.

I call him http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/lordtru/20140326_005747_zps32466545.jpg and he's an ancient tongue/Greybeard who's a master of the thu'um as well as martial arts....something along the lines of a Nordic Master Roshi, being old yet physically strong from training.

He follows the Way of the Voice and uses only his voice and fists to deal with any threat but has been peacefully meditating in solitude for an age...that is until Alduin reappeared and stirred him from his meditative slumber.

In my world, the last Dragonborn has already taken care of Alduin, as it has been foretold, but Miraak has also reemerged and it's the Old Ones destiny to prevent him from returning to power...the most powerful Dragon Priest versus the most powerful Greybeard seems like an epic showdown imo.

I could use some help in brainstorming a proper name for him as well as defining him a bit more. I was thinking that a name in the dragon tongue would be most befitting and as for his character, I want him to be the strongest Greybeard who has forsaken High Hrothgar to meditate alone in silence somewhere secluded, harnessing his energy of both voice and body. I can't come up with a good reason for him surviving for so long but I want him to be older then the current empire, perhaps being born at the time that Alduin was cast out...magic or a blessing from Akatosh seems to be the best reason, being gifted with a long life or immortality from the Dragon-God of Time.

He wears a tricked Talos amulet to reduce time between shouts, otherwise he would probably wear an Amulet of Akatosh or Kynes Token for RP reasons.

Any opinions are appreciated.

Firstly, that guy looks badass haggar, Nice work

secondly, here http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dragon_Language

I wanna type more but my [censored] phone isn't letting me (Posting that link was a gift from talos )

Perhaps rather than a blessing, he has been cursed to never or almost never die, or being ao powerful in magic he has gained the secret of immortality at the cost of his eyes (no iris both eyes),thankfully he can use magic to see, but he can also use magic to see himself in a third person perspective.

I'm assuming he is a Nord, so the first one would be bit off since Nords have the lifespans of High of Wood Elves. Then again, you RPed that he is that old so all is good.

Kruziik Joor Kaal (Ancient Mortal Champion)

or

Wuth In (Old Master)


If you wanted to make these into names instead of just a phrase:

Kruzijorkal

Wutin or Wuthin.


EDIT: Personalblaze has the same link that I used if that helps.

The trick I do is sort of follow how Alduin has his name, a combination word phrases, shortened to their most pronounced sounds from those words, then combined.

If it was my character, I would utilize the resto loop to be able to have zero cooldown time on shouting. I'm not sure exactly how that works. I know ShadowTitan has mentioned it before. It would make sense if he's a master of the Thu'um. Nice job by the way.

Whoa, where does it say that Nords live as long as Altmer? I thought Altmer lived past 400/500 ish without magic. And didn't Tiber Septim die at 108?

Damn you! I was planning on creating a similar character for a new playthrough!

Beautiful..

As for the amulet, you said he won't be using shouts unless provoked, so why not wear Kynareth's amulet outside of combat?

Perhaps somehow he's a descentent of Akatosh or Akatosh reincarnated? I dunno, just thinkin out loud.

Well all mortals are descended from the Divines, but I don't think Tiber Septim was given any special treatment. Well not with his age and stuff... But am I right that he used CHIM to CHIMy himself into Lorkhan's seat which was vacant because of the inconvenience of having his heart ripped out and buried under a volcano? Thus began Talos.

Besides, I'm sure that if Nords did live for several hundred years there'd be a LOT more focus on it. Nords would talk about the Oblivion Crisis like they were there or something, I dunno. I'd have expected a Breton to live that long.

thanks, I know of the that page and the language, it's just that nothing is standing out to me on there.

ha you've basically summed up my Altmer wizard http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/lordtru/20121019_233239.jpg who traded his eyesight for knowledge when reading an Elder Scroll...he has learned to see the magical essence emitted from all things.

It may be hard to see in the pic but this guy has the silver eyes, not the blank blind eyes.

Wutin/Wuthin is a worthy contender for his name thanks. I don't want to have a phrase name, preferably I want it to be 1 word with no last name...taking notes from Alduin is a good idea.

that's what I did, hence why I called it a trick amulet. I won't be spamming shouts though, I just did that so I can limit myself rather then the game doing it for me.

ha so what's stopping you? This isn't ESO

ha I knew you would like him. I can't take off his Talos amulet without losing the cool-down glitch on it and I've already reset his Alchemy so I damn sure won't go through the tedious task of bringing it back up again just to switch amulets. I will just have to RP around it somehow, creating a personal symbol behind wearing the amulet.

He can wear monk robes to hide it but I like to RP that he tosses his robe aside when he's about to fight as they hinder his body movement.

Just have to say this idea is great !!
