I think he was a Dark Elf. Or is it just what the player chooses he is and that only.

The second one. The Nerevarine is what the player believe who he/she is and everything about that person, from race to background to whatever.

The Nerevarine was a [exert lost] Everyone knows that. As for the class, [illegible].

No one knows.

So when the Nerevarine turns into future TES novels, how are authors to explain who he is? Or are they going to do their best to avoid him. Surely, the authors will want to expose Nerevar since he's like a legendary character.

All TES heroes are legendary characters, yet they fade away into just legends and disappear from memory. The Eternal Champion, who once saved Emperor Uriel Septim VII, isn't mentioned much anymore and, quite literally, disappeared. The hero of Daggerfall is now rarely mentioned. The Nerevarine went to Akavir(or so we're told), and so he/she's disappeared, and the Champion of Cyrodiil will probably disappear, with us being led to believe that he/she became Sheogorath and lost his/her personality and mortality.

I'd imagine they're just going to never have him actually physically appear in the story, as with the rest of the Elder Scrolls heroes.

But yes, I believe the Nerevarine is whatever race, and six, and class, the player wants him to be, that's why no source ever directly mentions the Nerevarine's identity beyond fulfilling the Nerevarine prophecies, if Bethesda had wanted to give the Nerevarine a canon identity, they probably simply wouldn't give the players a choice, which would, probably, make fans really, really angry. But if they're going to design the game with a choice, why go out of their way to write the story in a way that contradicts game design?

No. You can't say for sure this happened.

I can't say the Nerevarine went to Akavir for sure, but I'm pretty sure that the Nerevarine disappearing off to some foreign land and the CoC becoming Sheogorath are Bethesda's ways of having the two heroes disappear. The CoC becoming Sheogorath is the perfect way to get rid of him/her. I doubt Bethesda will ever come out and say he/ she is definitely Sheogorath just as I doubt Bethesda will ever say the Nerevarine definitely went to Akavir, but those are the two explanations for the disappearances of these two heroes which are being implied as being true by Bethesda.

Walter:The box and in-game dialogue begs to differ.

Also, I call epileptic trees on you.

I still think the Temple killed the Nerevarine after the events of Morrowind. He did kinda ruin things for them. They "went to Arkivir" the same way the family dog "went to the farm". A believable enough lie that no one questions it, but after some thought, the holes in the story appear.

As for the CoC? Well, after I beat the MQ the first time, Jauffre attacked me. I imagine it was because I had used my necromancy several times to revive him and, err, he didn't appreciate it. Afterwards, a suit of armor taught him an important life lesson, and he retired to a cave somewhere and quietly became a lich.

The former jives with the canon as it has been presented to us and, likely, will be. It doesn't matter the gender, class, or race of the Nerevarine because we'll never hear from them again. The Coc? Well, the rumors may suggest that he became a god and so my experience would jive with that. But, more likely, nobody will really care about the CoC. Martin Septim is the real hero of the Oblivion Crisis and everybody agrees. He had a sidekick, though. What was their name? Their race? I don't really remember. Some weirdos think that the sidekick did more than Martin, but that is like saying that Robin has solved more crimes than Batman, or that the venerable Inspector Gadget has had most of his crimes solved by his adoptive daughter and their dog. Silly notions that are best forgotten.

You think the temple killed the Nerevarine? due to the fact that a couple of gods have tried and failed at this i doubt that the Tribunal Temple would be able to do much.

They were little gods, they weren't up for it.

The Nerevarine is clearly adept at combat of some sort, to be able to defeat Dagoth Ur. But combat isn't the only way for someone to die. In Oblivion, we see that all it takes is a bite of an apple for anyone to die . . .

Yeah a very good poison would do it.

On the contrary, everyone knows.

Na, he just needs to be literate.

He or she will obviously be related to the all mighty Chuck Norris. There is no doubting that. To be honest though, it'll most likely be a [redacted].

It is completely up to our http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ-uV72pQKI.

You'll be free if you truly wish to be...

Obviously she's a Nord, nothing less would knock the damn Dunmer from their high.... bug.

Obviously an Aryan!

The problem is, is that Dunmer seems to be the only race that makes sense...why would Azura bring nerevar back as a nord, or a high elf, or worst of all, an argonian (and why would the dunmer follow an argonian?)

No one knows about the race but I personally think the devs intended for the Nerevarine to be male. It's in the prophecy in the beginning of the game "Ignorant of the role he was to play"

But lorewise, the Nerevarine could have been female instead.

Honestly, I think it was written that way because "he or she" looks awkward. It's actually not uncommon for the word "he" to stand in for "he or she" so that statement doesn't necessarily make any hints about what the Nerevarine's gender was to be.

Not to get off the topic but what other way could that sentence have been written besides using the awkward "he or she" to get across that the player character has no idea what is ahead of him/her?

"they were to play".

Then that would imply there was more than one involved, and if ultimately they chose to go with "he", that's obviously not what they were trying to say.
