After several years away I fancy firing up Skyrim again, the build I'm planning is around a mystical khajiit monk type who relies on illusion. Firslty, any input on a backstory for this type of character; their history; goals, ambitions and fears?

What mods should I be looking at? I'd like to play unarmed / unarmoured but IIRC the vanilla game didn't reward this so anything to correct this. Or maybe using staffs / ninja style weapons if they are about? And how do I edit my starting spells as, unsurpirisngly, I'd like to have at least one illusion spell.

Thanks
