Randomized characters

Look Skyrim forums, I'm doing my yearly community service and doing a thread that doesn't involve me stating how overrated this game is. :D

This is something I've done over at the New Vegas forums and had fun with. Thought I'd bring it over here to see if you guys might enjoy something similar. Results like this are universally fun irregardless so I thought it might be interesting to see what people get.

Step One: Go to http://www.randomizer.org/form.htm

Step Two: Filter the randomizer to provide you with one set of numbers with 1 number per set, then the range of the numbers should be 1 to 10. Refer to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Races

Rolling a 1 = you're an Altmer, rolling a 10 means Redguard. This determines your race.

Step Three (Optional): Keep the same filter and roll a number from 1 to 10. Your result determines which character preset of your race you'll use. (Optional for if you want to edit your appearance)

Step Four (Optional): Change the number range to be 1 to 2. 1 is male, 2 is female. (Optional for if you don't want to play as a female when you're a dude or whatever)

Step Five: Filter the randomizer to provide 6 numbers per set, range from 1 to 18 and turn unique number results on. Refer to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Skills

Here, a 1 = Alteration, a 7 = Archery, a 10 = One-handed, and a 12 = Alchemy, etc etc etc. Your six results determine your six skills you focus on.

Step Six: Filter the Randomizer to provide one result ranging from 1 to 13. Refer to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Standing_Stone

Again, 1 = Apprentice, 6 = Mage and 13 = Warrior. This determines which Standing Stone you stick with.

Step Seven (Optional): Filter the Randomizer to provide a number from 1 to 3. 1 = Human, 2 = Werewolf, 3 = Vampire. (optional to allow for roleplaying from the player's behalf, if you so choose)

Step Eight: Filter the Randomizer to range from 1 to 5. 1 = Bard's College, 2 = College of Winterhold, 3 = Companions 4 = Dark Brotherhood, 5 = Thieves' Guild

This number determines a faction you MUST partake in. This does not mean each character is limited to one faction, it merely means you must at least associate with the faction you rolled.

Step Nine: Filter the randomizer to range from 1 to 2. 1 = Imperials 2 = Stormcloaks

Step Ten: Again, ranging from 1 to 2. 1 = Side with the Blades 2 = Side with the Greybeards/Paarthurnax

Step Eleven: Again ranging from 1 to 2. 1 = Dawnguard 2 = Harkon and the vampires

A lot of these can be seen as optional (for example Dawnguard and vampire, human or werewolf can conflict) but go ahead and roll them just for the sheer curiousity of seeing what people get, then you can ultimately decide if these sound like characters you guys would like to try or which steps you'd like to remain loyal to and which you'd like to change up. For me though it's just kinda fun seeing what people roll.

Here's what I got:
