Its usually either a Male Redguard that like to kill things with his giant sword or a Female Argonians that like to sneak around and snipe foes afar.

M-I-Y-A-M-O-T-O M-U-S-A-S-H-I
*better be katana's. Damn dragons, damn katanas!


I was thinking about something like this.lol Though, I'm sure wielding two long-swords (one in each hand) may cut down on maneuverability, so, as respective to Musashi's swordmanship style, I'll wield a long sword in one hand and a short sword in the other. Yeah, this'll balance things out, maximizing the potentialities of close range strategy based on the conservation of stamina and offense and defense.. I'm probably going to be a Redguard considering they are fast and can deal a considerable amount of damage with swords, making them ideal for getting in and slashing an opponent, causing considerable damage all the while having the athleticism to avoid attacks. They are pests (well, that's how they were during the maturing phase of your character) only until you play one.

Name: Chordel Walker
Race: Nord
Class (based on skills I'll focus in): Ranger


Title: Walker Skyrim Ranger


Background:
He is a Dawnstar-based member of the Skyrim Rangers, a group of province-level guards. Walker was raised by his paternal uncle, a Atmoran named Ray Firewalker. Chordel, prior to joining the Rangers, served in the Blades during the early stages of the civil war. Both Cordell and his Uncle Ray share the values characteristic of real life Wild West sheriffs.

His partner and best friend is Jim Trivette, a former Arena champion, who takes a more modern approach to law enforcement. Walker's young partner grew up in Cyrodiil and used this champion status as his ticket to joining the Rangers. He was retired from the Arena after he tore up his shoulder in a major match. Trivette also works inside the office using Illusion and Alteration to collate information of the people who've been taken into custody. Walker also works closely (and shares a mutual attraction) with Alexandra Cahill, a Solitude based Alchemist, who on occasion puts up a frown if Walker doesn't obtain results in time. He also gets advice on cases from Cee-Dee Pa'kar, a veteran Ranger who worked with Walker until retiring to operate a small tavern called "Cee-Dee's Rusty Goblet", a tavern widely known for its Mazte.

A stealthy dunmer wielding a spear. Or at least I hope to have a spear, otherwise I will go with a longsword :meh:

I will be Imperial.. This game finally makes it so that my character will be versatile with both blade and bow. I want to have it so that I am experienced with a number of weapons, but I mainly am going to have it so that my first weapon set consists of a sword and shield, the second with a sword and dagger and finally the bow. This will be cool cause I have been wanting to dual wield a sword and dagger for so long and be good at it. This character would be a hunter/warrior but takes time to forge his own weapons, do some woodcutting and occasionally mines for his own ore to make interesting weapons but buys it mostly. He'll roam the lands of Skyrim for a while, foreboding any plans to become who he was destined to become, trying to find who he really is. Who knows...perhaps he'll perish or gain a revelation out in the wilds, either witness a tragedy of the forthcoming darkness and swear to avenge this threat. He could face a dragon who could speak the language of the people and this dragon would be impressed with his strength and grant a knowledge from ancient times, long lost from the power of the Empire. Or...he would forever stray into the cold of the mountains, forever leaving the world in its torment. I've always wanted to create someone who just gets by as a businessman, entrepreneur class...buying and selling from shops and raising prices. I would make it so that this person would be able to fight because they would have to gain the position and power as a merchant person first, but they would mainly gain money and power through the buying and selling of goods (if only you could buy shops and houses). I would have it so that when I get to the main quest, he would be able to hire bodyguards to travel with him and would be prominent in fighting through training and past experiences. If he were to get separated from them or they all die, he would be ready to fight but he would be weak to survive unless he came back from the journey overcoming that flaw.

Most likely a pure mage, focusing totally on all magical skills, and perhaps some two handed weapons. If I would be able to say what skills I'd really focus on, most likely Enchantment, Conjuration, and Alteration. I want to enchant my own stuff to be awesome, bend the rules of the world, and let my minions beat the snot of out my enemies while I sit back and sip on some mead.

Khajiit thief named Dar'Randrii. Klepto who loves stealing anything whether it's big or small. Carries his own personal supply of moon sugar and if Bethesda let's us pick breeds then he'll be a dagi or suthay.

Orc

Maybe in his 20s or 40s.

He'd be a exile-mage warrior who despises the Empire, and would help most who would disconnect the Empire into free states. :P

A Nord warrior whose name will probably be archaic,like Talon-Claw or something like that. My character will be heavily inspired by the character of One-Eye from Valhalla Rising.

Name: Saverok
Race: Breton male

A battlemage of sorts. He will use a halberd, if the game has them. If not then a sword or two. He wears little to no armour.
Likes: Burning things (mostly trolls), stabbing giants in the eye, leaping onto his foes and beating their heads in, drinking, and long walks on the beach.
Dislikes: Trolls.
He will do good things and bad things, depending if it will benefit him.

I'm going to recreate my favorite Oblivion character. His name was :] and he was a Khajiit thief/assassin type who specialised in ranged combat and light armor. He will live on in Skyrim!

My first character will be a female Nord. She will mostly, if not completely, be on the good side and make the "right" choices. First I wanted to make her a battlemage, but seeing as classes are out the window, I will focus on a few abilities and make her really good in those (Probably something in the lines of Blade, Light Armour, Destruction and Restoration).

Breton (50% magic resistance FTW :flamethrower: ). Single long blade, double long blades, Destruction and Alteration for combat (basically a Spellsword). Light or medium armor (if medium is back) with no shield. Also uses Enchanting, Smithing, Sneak and Illusion. He's the good guy who takes no pleasure in wealth or glory and believes saving lives is the most important part of his quest. No plans for a second character whatsoever :) ... yet.

Since Skyrim happens 200 years after Oblivion, and humoring the speculation that as impure elves the khajiit may live about two centuries, my characters will be propably be the children of my Oblivion characters. Which would mean that they are the same characters, but with different names :D

A goody-two-shoes, naive Spellsword, and a selfish, unsymphatetic Assassin.
