Roleplaying a bloodline.

Which of you have ever roleplayed that your Skyrim character is the descendant of your Oblivion or Morrowind characters?

Or the opposite if this happens to be your first TES game.

yes actually,

the character was Alana Verina, a Descendant of Evanin Avaril (one of my many CoCs) and Methredhel.. she originally traveled to Skyrim to seek out a set of family relics (a remake of some Custom Armor i made back in Oblivion (My creating of 3D models has gotten better)), and in doing so became a master Thief..
after finding out she was the Last Dragonborn, she managed to prevent Alduins attempt at reestablishing the Dragon Cult, and defeated Miraak in Apocrypha. Afterwards Hermaeus Mora explained to her that she was the Illegitimate heir of a Great Warrior, and began to inform her of the true events of the Grey March, Oblivion Crisis, Umarils return, The Curse of Nocturnals Cowl, and the defeat of The God of Worms Avatar...

Afterwards She became Jealous of the legends and feats she was told of, and started a Journey to search for Sheogorath. after he eventually showed himself to her, she challenged him to a duel (gotta love the CK) to prove she was more Powerful then the person who had achieved so much more then she had.. However She lost, and barely escaped with her life..

as a Result she became obsessed with Power, joining the Volkihar and becoming a Servant of the Daedra.. she Believed if she could become stronger, she could defeat the only person ever to defeat her.. However, Her wife Camilla Valerius became scared of how Alana was no longer who she once was, so she killed Alana as she slept...

I've roleplayed a Skyrim character that's a Skyrim character's descendant...

Yeah, but you could always grab Oblivion and create your character's great great grandfather.

Or just father/ The character itself if s/he is an elf.

Same here.

Well I played Oblivion but didn't even complete any real serious part of it.

I will probably do some sort of bloodline thing with the next TES.

My 500 Year old Altmer Mage from Morrowind is still trucking along. He never did Oblivion's main quest but after defeating Mannimarco, saving Tamriel from Dagoth Ur and his blight then finding out he was the Dragonborn after a long vacation sipping Stros M'Kai rum he saved the world from Alduin.

Perhaps it's time for old Telindil to retire.

My favourite Skyrim character was the descendant of my favourite Oblivion character. I had a really great time playing as both - the storylines work quite well together. The Champion of Cyrodiil was closely associated with the Blades, an association which could well have continued through the generations until one of the family members landed on a cart being taken for execution in Skyrim for treason.

Alois , my main character, and his sister Genevieve (along with their third brother Pierrick, whom I haven't and will not play as) are descendants of my CoC Elise.

Before she became Great Grandma Sheogorath, Elise got herself impregnated (some say by romancing a member of her court, others say she forced a man to unwillingly sire her child) and left her child in Cyrodiil once he was old enough to live on his own. 150 (or so) years later the triplets were born. They originally lived in Rosethorn Hall in Skingrad, which by then was the family mansion. Being descendants of the fledgling Madgod, the family wasn't the most stable. The triplets' father took Pierrick with him to High Rock while the other two siblings insisted on staying with their Bipolar mother. Then several years later, Skyrim happens.

Since Alois is gay and Genevieve most likely won't settle down to have children, Pierrick would be the one to continue the bloodline. It's the only reason he even exists. I guess I'll have to wait a few years to be sure if I want to continue the bloodline, though.

All my Altmer main characters throughout TES are related.

My Arena character was the aunt of my Daggerfall character,

my Morrowind character was my Daggerfall character's half-brother.

My Oblivion character in turn was my Arena character's brother.

My Skyrim character is my Daggerfall character's daughter.

None of them are aware of each other's deeds and all but my Daggerfall character vanished after their respective game's events, except that my Skyrim character knew her mother was a Blade and did something really big in High Rock back in the day.

I use this bloodline scheme to justify my Altmer characters being Nerevearine and Dragonborn, which don't really make sense for Altmer otherwise.

Who was the father and mother of them all, to chose children the gods bestowed these gifts, I do not know.

This topic is made for me lol.

Zulmar (Arena) married Ilendril (Daggerfall), and their second daughter is Estrella (Oblivion), she later married Valeno (Morrowind), and their youngest son is Ostathar (Skyrim).

All of them are Altmers. I'm still fleshing out how this family fared after the Thalmor took power in Summerset Isles. They obviously don't want to side with them and therefore are dissidents. But since they are too powerful the Thalmor cannot simply kill them off like they did with many other. Trying to avoid conflict they left Summerset Isles shortly after Thalmor took power. But I haven't decided where they have been all these years. I'm leaning towards some less damaged regions in Morrowind since that's as far as you can get away and my Morrowind character obviously had connections there. But it's not entirely clear to me.


I'm glad I'm not the only one doing that. Altmer super families FTW!


I assume you will want to create a few characters that are related to him in the future?
