Do you learn more about your quests, NPCs, and faction before undertaking quests?: If there's info out there about them, yes.
Do allegiances, morals and beliefs, or other factors determine who you work for/with and the tasks you perform?: Yep. Never joined TG or DB with this char.
When you have companions, do you let them do most of the work?: I confess to using Lydia as a packmule. Usually though I try to take out the enemy before she blunders into my sword.

Approximate Age:
25
Race:
Khajiit
Gender:
Male
Aptitude(Stealth, Combat, Magic, or mixed?):
Stealth

Archery, Sneak, 1H, Light Armor, Illusion, pick pocket, lockpicking, alchemy

Felonies/Murders everywhere, few bounties
Allegiances:
Sithis, gold
Factions:
Dark Brotherhood, thieves, Imperial Legion
Horseback or on foot?:
Foot
Do you spend more time in towns/villages/cities, or adventuring/questing/wandering the wild?:
Almost equal, spend a lot of time stalking potential thievery targets
Do you organize and/or manage your inventories at homes?:
not extensively
Do you keep items that you never plan on using?:
Extremely rare or cool ones ( butterfly in jar)
Do you pay attention to encumberment on a regular basis?:
It is my worst enemy
Priorities(Gold, loot, quests, relationships, etc.)?:
Gold, causing as much chaos that is untraceable to my character
How do you get what you want from a NPC?:
Preferably trickery, often stealing, honest dealing if they provide good incentive
A lone friendly traveler is encountered in the wild, how do you approach him/her?:
Leave beggars, bards (unless they are awful, I'm thinking about a certain quest), and Imperial legion alone. Everyone else is a risk/benefit ratio
The same lone traveler is non-threatening, yet hostile(possibly of another allegiance or faction)?:
quick death
Does apparel/armor aesthetics, practicality, value, or rarity determine use?:
Practicality- but I tend to stay away from high armor ratings, preferring to use the Dark Brotherhood outfit
Do you prefer purchasing equipment or finding/looting/stealing/discovering for use?:
A little of both, as my character is quite rich
Do you learn more about your quests, NPCs, and faction before undertaking quests?:
Absolutely, I like to weigh the options. My character murders often, but with at least some reason
Do allegiances, morals and beliefs, or other factors determine who you work for/with and the tasks you perform?:
I tend to act the exact opposite way in game as I would in real life, but I think my cynicism comes into the way I play. I kill people in-game that natural selection should take out in real life.
When you have companions, do you let them do most of the work?:
companions tend to blow my cover, so no thanks (I'm not a big immersion freak, but nothing is worse than having someone make an inane comment about how beautiful an ancient ruin is as I am about to slit a bandit's throat.)
Do you equip them with improved equipment, or let them use what they have?:
-
Do you have them carry most of your burden(ex. loot, weapons, armor, etc.)?:
-
Does it bother you when NPCs say bad things about you?:
I have been known to stalk and kill altmer who carelessly insult me, unless the insult is funny. I don't mind NPCs making fun of my criminal history, but racism or ignorant jibes are a sure way to death. Also i kill people who simply say stupid/annoying things.
If any of those NPCs were to travel outside of civilization, what would you do, if anything?:
they won't make it outside their house
Do you give up on difficult quests? Do you plan better for a new approach? Do you see it through, no matter how difficult?:
Reload.... reload....reload

all the time. I am a big people watcher, as they will do some interesting things in this game, and I can punish/reward them accordingly
Do you lie - when it is an option - to receive a greater reward or information?:
always
Do you enjoy learning about the land and people of Skyrim and the history of Tamriel?:
yes, I read many but not most books
Does listening to a NPC's story affect any decisions you make?:
always. Down on your luck= you get to live (unless you are incessantly whiny. Begging for your life is a big no-no too)
Do you think you could be a better leader than any of the guild/faction leaders. How about the Jarls or even a King?:
murderers tend to make great leaders, but not in this khajiit's case
Things aren't going your way, do you turn off the game, or do you revert to a previous save to try again?:
try and try again
How do you view the zoomorphic races? Elves? Humans?:
altmer can kiss it. I find it sad that Khajiit are so helplessly addicted to skooma, but the Khajiit caravans give me hope for our people. Argonians have had it rough, I just wish they didn't hate the Dunmer so much, as they have it almost as bad.
Do you perform tasks in your own way, or to-the-letter?:
Dark brotherhood to the letter. Everything else as sneaky as possible. If the sneak eye opens, I kick myself
Stormcloaks or Imperial Legion?:
Legion, damn those racist Nords!
Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood?:
both
Is marriage more of a business transaction than about affinity for a NPC?:
hasn't and probably won't happen, as none have caught my fancy, plus it would feel weird having my cat character marry a human.... and I don't exactly find the Khajiit sixy
If you use magic, what do you use it for?
confusion and stealth
If you use stealth, what do you use it for?
stealing, murder

I've so far made two characters, I will answer according to my choises made on the first one since I feel that one has more relevance

Horseback or on foot?: On foot -- faster reactions, more precise control, and I can choose when my horse enters fights more easily.

Do you organize and/or manage your inventories at homes?: Yes.

The same lone traveler is non-threatening, yet hostile(possibly of another allegiance or faction)?: Ice Spike lobotomy.
Does apparel/armor aesthetics, practicality, value, or rarity determine use?: Practicality determines use, unless I'm taking screenshots...then its purely aesthetics.
Do you prefer purchasing equipment or finding/looting/stealing/discovering for use?: I tend to use looted or quest reward equipment, mainly because its effects are usually better than what I can buy or make currently.
Do you learn more about your quests, NPCs, and faction before undertaking quests?: I ask NPCs if they're willing to talk. Sometimes I'll move to real life and ask my woman if she's done the quest or faction.
Do allegiances, morals and beliefs, or other factors determine who you work for/with and the tasks you perform?: To a degree. My character is a bit sadistic, but is also loyal to her factions.
When you have companions, do you let them do most of the work?: I don't use them. Companions and AoE spells are a recipe for fratricide.
Do you equip them with improved equipment, or let them use what they have?: N/A
Do you have them carry most of your burden(ex. loot, weapons, armor, etc.)?: N/A
Does it bother you when NPCs say bad things about you?: No. I tend to deserve it.
If any of those NPCs were to travel outside of civilization, what would you do, if anything?: Ignore them, unless they're useful to me.

Stormcloaks or Imperial Legion?: Stormcloaks. No one who attempts removal of my head gains my allegiance.
Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood?: Both

A lone friendly traveler is encountered in the wild, how do you approach him/her?: Slowly to size them up at first, then engage dialogue.
The same lone traveler is non-threatening, yet hostile(possibly of another allegiance or faction)?: Approach slowly then engage combat directly.

Does apparel/armor aesthetics, practicality, value, or rarity determine use?: Aesthetics first and foremost. Practicality is a close second.
Do you prefer purchasing equipment or finding/looting/stealing/discovering for use?: I prefer purchasing, but the best gear is almost always found in the wild.

Do you learn more about your quests, NPCs, and faction before undertaking quests?: I make every attempt to, and prefer to do quests initiated through deep dialogue or from books.
Do allegiances, morals and beliefs, or other factors determine who you work for/with and the tasks you perform?: Yes, most definitely.

Do you have them carry most of your burden(ex. loot, weapons, armor, etc.)?: Yes, when encumbrance becomes an issue.

Criminal History: Murder, assault, theft, killing of livestock.
Allegiances: Stormcloaks
Factions: Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild and Companions
Horseback or on foot?: Depends on the distance to travel. Usually on foot.
Do you spend more time in towns/villages/cities, or adventuring/questing/wandering the wild?: I spend most of my time in the wild, but I do venture into towns occasionally.
Do you organize and/or manage your inventories at homes?: Aside from separating my alchemical ingredients from everything else, no.
Do you keep items that you never plan on using?: Yes. The sword given to me by Ulfric.
Do you pay attention to encumberment on a regular basis?: Yes. I tend to pick up more than I can handle.
Priorities(Gold, loot, quests, relationships, etc.)?: Quests, but gold and loot are always nice bonuses. I spend quite a bit of time aimlessly exploring, too.
How do you get what you want from a NPC?: Persuasion followed by intimidation if they're uncooperative, and if all else fails... see criminal history.
A lone friendly traveler is encountered in the wild, how do you approach him/her?: Attempt to strike up a conversation or let them be if they're not in a chatty mood.
The same lone traveler is non-threatening, yet hostile(possibly of another allegiance or faction)?: If I'm in an unusually good mood, otherwise occupied or at low health, I'll avoid engaging them. If I'm in a neutral or foul mood with nothing better to do, I take them down.
Does apparel/armor aesthetics, practicality, value, or rarity determine use?: I play in first-person perspective, so aesthetics mean nothing to me. The more damage it deals out or the better perks it gives, the more likely I am to use it.
Do you prefer purchasing equipment or finding/looting/stealing/discovering for use?: I rarely purchase anything aside from crafting supplies; all of my gear is found during my travels.
Do you learn more about your quests, NPCs, and faction before undertaking quests?: Usually, yes. I'll ask around to see what the word on the street is.
Do allegiances, morals and beliefs, or other factors determine who you work for/with and the tasks you perform?: I'm an opportunist, so I'll do just about anything to achieve my desired outcome. I rarely turn against the people I consider my allies, though.
When you have companions, do you let them do most of the work?: If there are quite a few enemies to contend with then I'll send my companion in to engage them with melee while I range from afar, but usually I jump right in with them as far as combat goes.
Do you equip them with improved equipment, or let them use what they have?: Long-term companions, always. Short-term ones (like those tied to quests), never.
Do you have them carry most of your burden(ex. loot, weapons, armor, etc.)?: Absolutely. They're my little pack mules.
Does it bother you when NPCs say bad things about you?: I'm not one of the more hated races, so they rarely make any comments. I sometimes get annoyed when they make derogatory remarks towards Imperials in general, though, since I'm still an Imperial even if I do side with the Stormcloaks.
If any of those NPCs were to travel outside of civilization, what would you do, if anything?: I would possibly pickpocket a few of their valuables to teach them a lesson, but I wouldn't outright assault or kill them.
Do you give up on difficult quests? Do you plan better for a new approach? Do you see it through, no matter how difficult?: I might temporarily abandon a quest if it's too difficult at the time, but I always come back to it later with more powerful weapons or a better strategy.
Do you interact with NPCs other than for essential needs, wants, or tasks?: I do. I often find what they have to say interesting and like hearing the stories they have to tell.
Do you lie - when it is an option - to receive a greater reward or information?: Almost always.
Do you enjoy learning about the land and people of Skyrim and the history of Tamriel?: Yes.
Does listening to a NPC's story affect any decisions you make?: Yes. If I sympathize with their cause, I'm much more likely to make choices that will benefit them.
Do you think you could be a better leader than any of the guild/faction leaders. How about the Jarls or even a King?: I would be honoured to be made a Jarl and implement changes that would make my hold a better home for its citizens, but the responsibilities of a queen would be too great.
Things aren't going your way, do you turn off the game, or do you revert to a previous save to try again?: I'll usually reload a previous save and try again, but if I'm too frustrated to continue or realize I'm seriously outmatched I'll set the task aside for another time or avoid it entirely.
How do you view the zoomorphic races? Elves? Humans?: I feel a certain affiliation with the Khajiit as both they and my character share a sly nature and a penchant for thievery. I'm always amused by their wheedling accents and syrupy attempts to convince me to buy their wares. I respect the Orcs' sense of loyalty and honour. I dislike Dunmer and Altmer for their smugness and superiority, but I admire the Bosmer for their deep harmony with nature. I was wary of Argonians at first, but after helping a friendly Argonian fellow by the name of Madesi I have a much more favourable view of them. As for humans, I find it hard to differentiate between their races and treat them as they treat me.
Do you perform tasks in your own way, or to-the-letter?: In my own way if it's easier, quicker or more profitable than the textbook approach.
Stormcloaks or Imperial Legion?: All hail Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King of Skyrim!
Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood?: Their interests intertwine, but my loyalties lie more with the Dark Brotherhood.
Is marriage more of a business transaction than about affinity for a NPC?: I married Ysolda out of an affinity for her, but the business aspects of our relationship are much appreciated as well.
If you use magic, what do you use it for? Restoration, mostly, to cut back on the amount of Restore Health potions I guzzle.
If you use stealth, what do you use it for? Creeping up on enemies, getting the sneak bonus when I range, tiptoeing past situations I'd rather avoid, pickpocketing NPCs and stealing from their homes, etc.

Fun even if tedious, I'll give it a go and expect a reply

Gender: Male
Aptitude(Stealth, Combat, Magic, or mixed?): Combat, with lesser emphasis on stealth
Top 10 Major Skills: Archery, One Handed, Block, Sneak, Enchanting, Light Armor, Alchemy, Illusion
Criminal History: Stolen nothing (except to clear a misc. quest in Markarth), murdered nobody. I think the only time I've done anything criminal was on accident.
Allegiances: Stormcloaks. Even though I play a Bosmer right now, I believe I should help the Nords kick out the foreigners if they don't want them there; I also believe in self-governance. Plus free worship has been suspended because of the Empire.
Factions: Stormcloaks, Daedra, Companions, I don't know what all the factions are yet so maybe more.
Horseback or on foot?: Foot
Do you spend more time in towns/villages/cities, or adventuring/questing/wandering the wild?: Wandering in the wild, doing quests, and exploring caves and stuff. Cities are pretty much only for getting quests and selling stuff.
Do you organize and/or manage your inventories at homes?: I tried to, but it didn't work out well and I decided it wasn't very important.
Do you keep items that you never plan on using?: Yeah, I'll admit, I'm a Skyrim hoarder haha. I always want to sell the stuff, but then the merchants don't have the money to buy it all so I end up storing it.

Priorities(Gold, loot, quests, relationships, etc.)?: Gold and quests pretty much
How do you get what you want from a NPC?: Intimidation or Gold

Does apparel/armor aesthetics, practicality, value, or rarity determine use?: Practicality for the most part, if it's a Daedric artifact I'll probably use it, but aesthetics rarely plays a part.
Do you prefer purchasing equipment or finding/looting/stealing/discovering for use?: Finding it, but I like to enchant it myself so preferably unenchanted.
Do you learn more about your quests, NPCs, and faction before undertaking quests?: Not really

Do you equip them with improved equipment, or let them use what they have?: Improved stuff. Lydia has a Battleaxe I enchanted that paralyzes the enemy most of the time >:)
Do you have them carry most of your burden(ex. loot, weapons, armor, etc.)?: I only make them carry loot that I can't carry because I'm at my limit
Does it bother you when NPCs say bad things about you?: Not really. Peoples opinions of me don't matter, especially in a video game
If any of those NPCs were to travel outside of civilization, what would you do, if anything?: Depends on how mean they were. Probably nothing though, I'd feel bad.

Do you interact with NPCs other than for essential needs, wants, or tasks?: Yes

How do you view the zoomorphic races? Elves? Humans?: I think there's always been this undertone of racism in TES; I like all the races (except for Orcs, something about them is just unnatural and repulsive to me), and I have sympathy for the beast races.
Do you perform tasks in your own way, or to-the-letter?: My own way if I can
Stormcloaks or Imperial Legion?: Stormcloaks
Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood?: Hmmm.....depends. Maybe Dark Brotherhood.
Is marriage more of a business transaction than about affinity for a NPC?: I never marry because I feel like it's dumb in a video game, you can never have that kind of chemistry with an NPC.
