This character is an Altmer mage, who lives on Summerset Isle. His name is Almynn. On a remote area of the large island, he has constructed a tower in which to live. All the loneliness and constant magical study has driven him a bit mad. In his madness, he has come to believe himself a god, who is under siege by the daedra. The tattoo on his right cheek says, "ada", which is god in the Ayleid language (I found this on UESP so it might not be accurate haha). He stays locked in his tower and occasionally will cast a spell, shielding his home via magic. Most of his time is spent furthering his magical abilities, or magically growing provisions in his tower.

EDIT: It would be appreciated if people participated and would draw some characters of their own. :talk: Thank you.

This concept would normally be somewhat cliche, but it does have the potential to be a great memorable story provided that you are original in the way you develop your characters and storyline; it's only cliche if you don't do anything original with it. Now let me ask you a couple of questions. First, what is the one thing that will separate Almynn from every other mage locked away in a tower; what is unique about him? Why is he furthering his magical abilities; why spend that time? What is his dream? Also, since his tower is under siege, how much time does he have before the daedra break through the magical shielding? And in that timeframe, how can he make that time the finest hours of his life"?
