Thought it would be a good idea to post some of our own character types/styles and back stories, to compare and perhaps inspire and or be inspired for your own creations

Example

Character name: Reindhart

Race/gender: Imperial male,

Custom class: Vampire hunter, specializes in one handed swords, fire magic, Light magic, Alchemy, (for cure disease potion mostly) detect life, ( for when vamps go invisible)

Bio: Vicious and wise beyond his years, Reindhart, since early child hood, has had an almost morbid obsession with everything undead.... particularly Vampires.

After witnessing his entire family being slaughtered by one of these most foul creatures, It told him something that chills him to his core to this very day.

No one is sure what the demon said to young Reindhart but he searches Skyrims country side furiously for the undead and has currently been searching for evidence of the black hand in Skyrim

It is said that Reindharts favorite method of slaying a vampire is to cut the head clean off and burn the body.

He also keeps the skull of every vampire he beheads and is rumored to have a secret room in his house that is made from the skulls of all the vampires he has slain.

Orgothtos Gargaros (The Wall of Gargaros, Waverusher are names given)

Dead is Dead playtype

Dunmer (specifically male preset #8)

Class: Ward: Uses a shield as his primary battle tactic. He bashes enemies, charges at them knocking them to and fro with this towershield. With it, he is unstoppable. Impales foes or decapitates them with a onehanded longsword. Is a fast warrior moving with ease in his elegant light armor. He has been trained in the clarical arts of restoration and he considers the use of destructive magic a mandatory skill for his people

Orgothtos is an extremely pious worshipper of the ancestral cults and dedicates his life, like a samurai, to serving his masters, who are in this case his family and ancestors. He is also potently proud of the dunmer race and scorns all men with a passion. More acute is his hate for agonions after their demolition of his nation. Waverusher prays at any ancestral site he can find, however rare they might be in this new country. He gives blessings to his fallen dunmer and will repent if he is forced to kill one.

If he did a martial art, it would be turtle style

Character name: Cabius

Race/gender: Dunmer Male

Custom class: Shadow Stalker, specializes in one handed short blades, Destruction, Conjuration,Stealth, Lockpick, Illusion

Bio: An ancient Vampire, it is rumored that Cabius even fought in the Battle of Red Mountain, He is a ruthless and cunning man. His devotion to the Daedra is so absolute he will kill anyone who speaks ill. He is normally quiet and reserved, however if you get on his bad side you can count yourself among the dead. He is a high ranking member of the Dark Brotherhood. He kills silently and swiftly,It is said he can take down 5 men and finish the last before the first even hits the ground.

Cabius once killed an entire family and left one child alive just to see him suffer. He awaits the day the child comes to him as a man to challenge him as he inevitably will.

After witnessing the devastation of his homeland, Morrowind, he migrated to Skyrim, his exact whereabouts are currently unknown. It is said he has been seen in the mountains on dark nights with his lover, he turned her into a vampire as soon as he turned. It is said he once had a heart, he was an average male dunmer, but the thousands of years have made him ruthless and cold.

Thats my real character it just fit in with your story so much I tied it in if thats ok with you.

Race: Wood-Elf
Name: Elinroth
Skills: The three that I hope to master are Archery, Alchemy, and One Hand.

Backstory: Elinroth is an independent theif that's been robbing caravans from Cyrodil to Skyrim. He get's caught and is transported to Skyrim for trial. Since I don't know how the actual quest goes, it's hard for me to speculate a back story, but I imagine it will play out like this ... When Elinroth is first told that he is Dragonborn, he will laugh. He will refuse to accept that an Elf from Valenwood could be a Dragonborn. He will continue to hunt and steal until he encounters his first dragon. When he kills him, and finds that he has absorbed his soul, thinks will start to fall into place for him. He will realize that maybe he actually is Dovahkin and accept his destiny

Hobbies: Hunting wildlife and crafting armor to sell, Stealing from the wealthy, Making potions/poisons, Exploring, Reading books ... etc ...

Things to keep in mind: Elinroth is completely racist. He hates Nords and can't stand anyone that's not an Elf. He prides himself on his intellect and is the most naturally talented marksman Tamriel has ever seen

Dude, thats freaking awesome I really like it!!!

now the demon has a name it seems:)

Race: redguard female

Name: Kara

Bio: the daughter of Nordic arena combatant and a redguard merchant, she was orphaned at the age of 19 when her father was killed in the arena. She had trained in the arena red room with short blades and hunted the area around the imperial city which gives her good skill in blade, archery and stealth. After losing her father she set out for Skyrim to explore her heritage...

Name: Asyylum

Race/gender: Bosmer male

Custom class: Moth Priest, specializes in illusion magic to control people and animals at will, detect life, uses kitanas and daggers, very fast, uses the wind sprint and slow time dragon shouts frequently also known to use conjuration and necromancy.

Bio: Asyylum, is said to be the child of an aragonian father and bosmer mother (though this is said to be impossible, some speculate that his father is in fact a dragon and not aragonian) as a result he was born with pure white eyes and has been blind since birth. He was given up by his mother to the ancestors moth temple, who told the priests there that she was on the run from the empire for reasons she would not disclose.

Life in the temple was very hard for the young bosmer due to his race because the temple was mostly inhabited by nords and he was not treated as an equal, but he would soon discover his aptitude for Illusion magic.

In his teenage years Asyylum would constantly delight himself in deceiving and playing tricks on his fellow priests untill one day his mischief went too far.

After years of mental abuse the head moth priest( who was Asyylums favorite to torment) completely lost his mind and killed everyone in the enclave.

Horrified by what he had caused Asyylum ran north away from the temple, He ran for one day and one night untill he collapsed from exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dreams he in visioned a twisted path of withering trees leading to a castle made of butterflies, walking down the path was an exquisitely dressed laughing man with serpentine eyes twirling a cane.

As the man approached he reached forward and touched my forehead, before bursting into a mad laughter, he said to me

I have watched you for many years with great delight
musing me with others fright
by will and whim
the bright and dim
fall victim
to me on sight.

Asyylum awakens with an overwhelming sense of paranoia as hears a nordic voice say to him "what are you doing in Skyrim little elf and why are you covered in blood! arrest him gaurds, you have some explaining to do Elf"
