Whilst playing through the game I have found myself to be a roleplayer as I debate about if my character personally would except the quest or not. I sort of have an interesting backstory being developed in my head and was wondering how mine compares to most others. Starts off a bit cliche', Fielen is an argonian and his story begins with him waking up in that prison cell with absolutely no memories of who we was or how he got there other than his name. As my character progesses through the story of oblivion's mq (which he hasn't much begun yet because hes unsure of the emperors story) along with countless hours of dungeon diving he has flashbacks. His flashbacks show him in an eerie light, always in the heat of battle and his face in a snarl. With each flashback he remembers more of his skills and becomes a fiercer opponent. There is a drawback though, with every memory he feels he is becoming closer and closer to what he is seeing himself as. A dark emotionless killer, needless to say these visions are slowly driving him mad. (Planning to use to madness aspect to slowly lead him astray from being the morally good protector he now is, in an attempt to have a reason to complete every quest.) That's all I've gotten so far. What are your stories?

Buffy's background is intentionally quite unremarkable. She was a simple girl, orphaned at twelve, and more or less, raised by her town of Bravil. On a trip to the big city when she was seventeen, her traveling companion and friend City Swimmer tried to steal something from a store. Their escape was blocked, the clerk attacked City Swimmer, and Buffy killed the clerk with her bow to defend her friend. City Swimmer escaped, but Buffy got shield-bashed by a guard and awoke in prison.

Since her escape, she has improved her bow skill and even become a fine illusionist. She is still a simple girl trying to make her way in a dangerous land, and just trying to live her life. She is neither 'good' nor 'bad', but she is friendly, outgoing and fiercely loyal to friends. Although she frequently tries to help friends, she will often turn down quests that she doesn't agree with. Other quests she usually turns down are when some big strong fellow (like Jauffre) thinks it's a good idea to sit on his butt and send a fragile bowgirl to go save the world.

Teresa of the Faint Smile is an orphan from the streets of the Imperial City. As an infant she was found in an alley by the beggar Simplicia the Slow, who had been about to commit suicide before discovering Teresa. Finding the infant gave Simplicia a reason to live again, and she dedicated the rest of her life to raising her as best she could. Teresa grew up a street urchin. Not being especially big or tough she learned to hide and sneak around to avoid being beaten up by the older kids. When she was eight she was caught stealing a sweet roll by an Imperial Watchman named Volsinius, who was nice enough not to take her to prison for it. Instead he backhanded her across the mouth and knocked out one of her teeth to teach her a lesson. What she learned naturally, was to hate the Legion.

When she was ten she met two other bosmer girls like herself - Methredhel and Adanrel, and they became best friends. At fifteen she went to live in the shantytown off the Waterfront (which I have made to be much larger place than in the game). She learned how to shoot a bow from Methredhel, whose father was a mercenary archer and had taught her before he disappeared. Likewise Teresa learned her Flare and Absorb Life spells from Methredhel. She learned a simple healing spell from a group of priestesses that make a monthly turn of the shantytown to try to save the souls of the people there.

When she was eighteen she was eating an apple she found in the refuse pit behind the Tiber Septim Hotel. The next thing she knew shew as waking up in prison, with no idea how she got there. A few minutes later the Emperor went through her cell with some of his Blades. She followed, and he recognized her from his dreams. She was standing beside him when he died, but not before he had given her the Amulet of Kings with instructions to deliver it to Jauffre. In those brief moments the Emperor changed her life forever. He showed her that she did not have to hide in the shadows all of her life. He showed her that she could change her life, and herself, and that she could respect herself. He had been the first person to ever have faith in her. She delivered the amulet simply because he asked her to. She would have done anything for him. Jauffre took over from there and sent her on her way with the thanks of the Empire and a promise to arrange a pardon for her, although neither he nor Teresa knew why she had been in prison. The Imperial Prison itself would later show no records of her ever being interred there, nor did any of the guards ever recall seeing her.

Teresa was in the Imperial City when Mehrunes Dagon attacked it to stop Emperor Martin from lighting the dragonfires. She holed up inside a shop with Simplicia and several other people. Saving all of their lives in the first moments - before any of them even knew what was going on - was Volsinius, who decapitated a Daedroth that had burst into the shop and would have killed them all before they could have reacted. Volsinius, Teresa, and the other fought a desperate battle afterward to stave off the Daedric hordes, who were coming out of an Oblivion Gate right outside the shop. When it was all over Vols was dying, and many others badly injured or dead. Teresa saved Volsinius by creating a healing potion at the last minute from ingredients she had gathered a few days earlier. That was when Volsinius ceased to be the demon who haunted her nightmares, and instead was reduced to being just a man. A man with many flaws, who had just happened to save her own life...

Heimshor Hammer-Fist used to be a Druzhina in Skyrim, serving a relatively unimportant knyaz (duke) there. He was of no special background, having been born in Winter Hold to a sailor; he never got to know his mother, but according to Heimshor's father she was a kind woman. Raised by the harsh life of Skyrim and the potentially even harsher guiding hand of his strict father, he grew to be one of those true Nords - a fierce warrior, always quick to flare up and hard to calm. He doesn't claim to be a chivalrous man; in fact he, having lived in the north-east of Skyrim, has a great hatred towards Dunmeri, having run into Redoran warparties quite a few times during the endless skirmishes in the mountains. In fact the only people he really likes are Nords, and even then only the northern ones, as he considers the southerners spoiled by the Imperials.

Heimshor's short temper would prove to be his damnation, however; when a rather drunk Dunmer colonist who had come to Skyrim seeking a better life insulted him in a tavern, the Druzhina didn't hesitate much, beating the man to near-death, something that proceeded to turn into a drunken Nordic riot when he and a couple other Druzhina, all half drunk, proceeded to march down the street to the colonist's house, knocking down whoever they encountered on the way; they would've burnt the place down had the Imperial Legion not interfered. Charged with 'disturbing the peace', 'assaulting and nearly killing a citizen of the Empire' and 'resisting arrest', he was dumped on the first prison cart to the Imperial City, having had the luck of running into a Legion officer with the temper as short as Heimshor's own when it came to the Nords and their constant troublemaking.

Life obviously turned out to be bleak in jail, especially for someone of Heimshor's spirit. Three years in, he got into a bit of a riot and was placed into a 'special' cell (complete with regular beatings, half-rations and an annoying Dunmer in the cell across the hall from his); that was when world turned upside down and the Emperor with his Blades showed up in jail, Uriel Septim declaring he had seen Heimshor in a dream and amazing the Nord by calling him 'Dragon-marked'. Since the Nord did indeed have a little mark the shape of a dragon's head on his left thigh, that being why his father sometimes said Heimshor was 'Ysmir-marked', he took this as an omen; when the Emperor trusted him with the Amulet of Kings the Druzhina came to the conclusion that, for better or for worse, the Gods had chosen to tamper with his fate. Though he did attempt to get rid of the Amulet a couple times, it always seemed to come back to him one way or another, so he decided to do what he had been told to and bring it to one 'Jauffre', the Grandmaster of the Blades.

Though he didn't feel too sympathetic to the Empire's cause, Heimshor was forced to do his best to see this through, both by the Blades who considered him to have been charged with this by the Emperor himself and by the knowledge that if all Tamriel goes to hell, his little corner of Skyrim will share the same fate. Yet even as he pushed through the Crisis, barely surviving the trials set before him by the Gods (or so he thought), Heimshor stubbornly refused to change his ways. When peace finally came to Cyrodiil and the whole of Tamriel, the vaunted Champion of Cyrodiil was known as a man as flawed as any other during his brief stay in the Heartland. However, even with the fame and recognition that followed him everywhere he went - or perhaps because of that - Heimshor found no peace in the Imperial Province and one day the people of Cyrodiil realized that their hero was gone without a trace, having wandered back to the frozen plains that he had been dragged from.

Maxical's Bio:


Maxical was born at a very early age. Her mother was there for the occasion of her birth... but unfortunately she laid down at the last minute and missed the excitement.

Maxical's parents traveled all over Tamriel with her...but she kept finding her way back home.

Maxical thought she was wrong once, but she was mistaken. She changed her mind after that...but the new one didn't work any better

Maxical told Arch Mage Traven that no one ever listened to her. He said, "Next!" Arch Mage Traven told Maxical she was crazy. She said, "I want a second opinion!" He said, "Okay, you are ugly too!"


Maxical had a great looking guy pounding on her door all night last night... She finally let him out this morning.


Maxical was at the beautyshop for four hours before they finished the estimate.

When Maxical cooks, her meals are fit for a king...oh, that is her pet dog's name.


Maxical has all the nicest armor and weapons from the best stores in the Market District... Unfortunately none of the stores were open when she got them.

Maxical has a pretty white horse... unfortunately it has a red hand tatooed on its rump.

Maxical was arrested for public drunkeness. Chancellor Ocato said, "You are here for drinking!" Maxical said "All Right! When can we start?"




PS: You may think this is just a string of jokes, but if you read her story, you will see that it all plays out just as written here. For the full story:
