Roleplaying: Will your character have any hatred towards a r

Post » Fri Aug 12, 2011 1:54 pm

My Imperial will come from the Imperial City as a Infantryman and will look down on all races as he/she believes that Imperials should own all of Tamriel, If not all of Nirn. (I think of Romans when i think of Imperials, there armor even looks so in oblivion)

I normally play as a Nord. Usually I respect Orcs and Redguards as they are warriors. I've never liked Altmer because they think they're so great and like wussy magic. Bretons too. Can't stand 'em. Bosmer are annoying as hell but I think that's just the personality of every Wood Elf in Oblivion. I kind of admire their skill as Archers. They'd make good sidekicks.

Imperials svck, because they just svck. Their skills are awful and they think they own Tamriel. Screw the "Imperial City". Dunmer are somewhat neutral. They hate everyone but at least in Skyrim I won't be the outlander. Good Spellswords.

Nothing against the beasts. In fact I quite like them.

So to sum up:

Good: Orcs, Redguards, Argonians, Khajiit

Neutral: Bosmer, Dunmer

Bad: Altmer, Bretons, Imperials

Having said that this is all subject to change especially if my race changes or I decide to be evil ;D

THE BITTER OLD DUNMER SURVIVOR
An old Dunmer character who met the Nerravarine as a child, survived the Oblivion crisis, and the slow apocalypse on Vvardenfell between the time of Oblivion and Skyrim. He was a forward thinking youth, and vehemently against slavery. However, to the Argonian van he was just another Dunmer. They killed the remainder of his house put him into bondage and sold him into slavery himself. So now he sees Argonians as treacherous, cold, and perhaps deserving of their former predicament as slaves.

THE POST COLONIAL ORCISH PHILOSOPHER
He comes from a half wild remote mountain clan who's brutal tribal existence was changed the day Imperial Surveyors showed up. Turns out they lived right on top of an iron mine. They put up a little resistance but were subdued and dispersed. Living in the wilds with his shaman uncle, he was taught that freedom was a privilege, not a right, and bestowed only on those strong and wiley enough to seize and maintain it. The defeat of his clan was divine punishment to show the Orcs that they had crown weak and complacent. Strictly speaking, he is not a racist, but he has disdain for those unable (or rather unwilling) to live free by the strength of their own arms and minds. This is usually mistaken as racism towards those races most victimized by slavery.

THE IMPERIAL TRAITOR
(this one will really depend on how the Skyrim backstory unfolds)
So Skyrim is in the middle of a civil war and the Empire is losing its foothold in the territories. An Imperial officer stationed in Skyrim has been "going native" for quite some time. He and his men have spent so long with the locals around their small fortified post they consider it more "home" than their former homes in Cyrodil. Some have even married Nord women. Unfortunately, their post was on the wrong side of the civil war. The Empire has taken sides. Orders have been given to dispatch and disperse the town and provide assistance to an incoming group of hostile nords. The officer and a few of his men break rank and refuse their orders. A brave stand is made and they are soon overwhelmed by both hostile Nords and reservist Imperials. The locals are slaughtered. So now he's the last of his garrison, imprisoned for treason. He hates Imperials.

My character grew up with two people of different race, so he pretty much judges people by who they are and not their ancestors.

My character will be skeptical of Bosmers, Orcs and Altmer due to profiling issues (Altmer is arrogant, Bosmer is sneaky/annoying, Orc is aggresive, etc).

My Dunmer won't like Bosmer or Altmer, but Imperials, Orcs, and Argonians will definitely be his drinking buddies.

Nords are barely tolerable scum. Although Imperial law demands that they not be murdered they will not be treated with anything that resembles fairness by my Imperial Agent. The only purpose for which Nords are fit is to pay taxes to the Empire.

I think that answers the question

Yes. Hoped the title and second sentence made that clear, but I guess the "Imperial" term can be a bit ambiguous. I meant "Imperial" the race, not "working for the Empire".

My male Khajiit Magus Assassin will feel inclined to favour and assist his people; however, Khajiit who are weak and fall victim to moonsugar overdoses he will treat with contempt.

My Khajit will not trust Argonians because he feels they are predators and will steal Khajiit kittens for their supper. Besides that Argonian tails swishing about makes him agitated and he cant help but take a swipe at one.
My Khajiit will dislike Altmer haughtiness and hates that they think themselves closer to Dragon God of the Cats. He will snarl at Dunmer rudeness and say that they should have all gone down with Morrowind and done the world a favour. He will attack Bosmer if they act stupid. He hates Orcs and thinks them unclean and barbarians but has a grudging respect for honorable ones. He loathes Imperials for their subjugation of his people and mistaking Khajiit for elves in the days of old where many were slaughtered. He hates Redguards even more because they despise his magical gifts and serve the Imperials. He thinks Bretons are stupid because of their religion and cant understand why a lesser race is magically gifted. My Khajiit is intrigued by Nords but dislikes rowdy behavior and drunkenness. My Khajiit is curious about Ayleid or Wild Elves as much as he is with Dwarves or Dwemer.

My Khajiit will be tolerant of an individual who has a legendary grasp of any particular discipline with magic or is a master of the sword. Any form of weakness is met with contempt unless that weakness results in a great boon of some sort (its enough to make him hold his tongue and not attack). If provoked my Khajiit is prone to Genocidal purges to cleanse the land of any race that taints it.

My Breton doesnt hate anyone, but he dislikes the fact that the imperials rule everything, and believes that each province should govern itself.

The same thing has happened to "real soldiers" all throughout history. That's part of the history of the term "going native". The soldier starts identifying with the people and culture he is embedded in. After a while it begins to feel like his 'real' home.

It might not be my choice (if I can pretend to know what the situation feels like), but I think it makes for a compelling character.

Well after playing lots of Warhammer games and reading some of there lore, I now tend to have at least 1 raciest character.
If your not Human, Your dead! I just think of all other races of human's as some what Sub-parr to my chosen races excellence but in the end were all united agenst the foul horde of unsavory creatures and Xenos scum!!!
we must Cleanse the un-righteous!,
Purge the abominations! and
UTTERLY ANNIHILATE THE HERETIC SCUM THAT PURGE OUR GALA- sorry! my Zeal for the Imperium of Man pops up now and then.

Then ill always have one character that's a raving lunatic and kills every one equally but the rest of my guys will probably be helpful to the other races.

Im torn between Breton and Imperial for my racist..ill probably go for Imperial for him but I have always liked Breton's for some reason :/
