» Thu Dec 15, 2011 9:27 pm My current character is a recreation of one I created in Oblivion, based on the 'Witchers' from the title of the same name.
He's a Nord Demon Hunter, originally kidnapped from Skyrim and 'created' around the time of the Oblivion crisis (in my back story he was mutated similarly to witchers using secrets stolen from kaer Morhen).
After that was sorted he went on making a living however he could, which culminated in him working for the empire assassinating Thalmor officers during the great war. After the peace treaty was signed he carried on killing them, and so had to be denounced by the emperor. With authorities chasing him he fled to Skyrim, and that's where it starts.. (it also gives me a reason to follow through with the DB questline). The reason he's still around after more than 200 years is attributed to the mutations in his backstory; I 'realised' these by using the console to give him the histskin racial ability to represent enhanced regenerative abilities.
Based on that, it's quite an 'odd' build in the sense that I use heavy armour, but also focus on sneak; my sneak is good enough I can do whatever in heavy armour with no detrimental effect.
Other main skills are:
-archery
-one handed (using a single Skyrforge steel sword [legendary] and no shield)
-alchemy
-pickpocket (to plant the poisons on people created through alchemy)
currently this build gives me a lot of options in the sense that I can go all out in combat as a warrior, or stick to the shadows and pick enemies off using archery. It largely depends on how many enemies there are, and how strong they are.

That's one of the most interesting character background stories I've seen so far!
