Who was your first official character?

Post » Sun Sep 15, 2013 4:39 am

Name: Milo

Race: Wood Elf

Age: 27

Class: Thief

Background: Milo didn't know his parents, he was alone all his life since first born. Milo had to steal to stay alive and that's all he had ever done till he left Valenwood and came to seek fame and fortune in Skyrim. Two weeks later he joined the thieves guild to use his gifts in the art to become the greatest thief ever known.

A year later at 24 he found out he was dragonborn and had to later on slay the great dragon Alduin. Long story short he saved Skyrim and her people and now at 27 has a house in solitude with a beautiful wife (Mjoll the lioness) and two kids 1 boy and 1 girl.

Not long till Milo dies he is the most greatest thief in Skyrim and has killed many vampires while helping the dawnguard, and met the very first dragonborn Miraak. And so much fame that he has statues in every city.

Some Nord whose name I forgot. Abandoned him pretty soon, at about level 20 I think.

Next I made my main character and up until recently most played character, Anemar the high elf barbarian. Played for some 78 hours, had to abandon him when I started using too many mods that his save wouldn't function anymore. Then started over with a new altmer barbarian who now has 84 hours.

My very first character was a Nord, but he was a " test character " just to get the feel of the game. The one that I count as my official real first character would be my Orc Gorgun.

Classic warrior build, one-handed, two-handed, heavy armor, block etc...etc... Ya know the all around warrior build

Was guesstimated to be around 100-120 years old, but looked to be in his late 60's ( there's an explanation for his age )

A loner for the most part, didn't really play well with others ( once again there's an explanation )

Harbinger of the Companions but only as a figure, left the real Harbinger duties to Farkas and Vilkas

Listener of the Darkbrother, ruled with an iron fist

And finally he was a very,very old and wise werewolf, contracted Lycanthropy when he was a lad back in his home Orsinium. Over the course of his 100+ years as a werewolf he had mastered the form, learning to except the " law of the hunt ". Thus he chose to live his Orc life the same as his " beast " life, free......

:D

Ah, my first character in TES.

Imperial. Named after me (no knowledge of TES names, I'm a filthy casual)

Because I was a filthy casual, he had no backstory.

He was a Jack of All Trades character. He did EVERYTHING. Made it to 81 legitimately. Probably had the most bugs on him too. Misc quests they wouldn't clear up, Animal Extermination....

Married to Aela, had no companions, first character to join the Legion.

450ish hours. Lots of Fast Traveling. No attempts to clean up. No janitor, dropping everything. Ended up with a 22MB save file. Which was bad back in December 2011.

Lasted till December 2012. The DLC for PS3 still wasn't announced.

Kjell

Nord

35

"Warrior"

Completed the MQ and do to being railroaded with the Mages Guild due to the MQ, completed the CoW quest line. Unfortunately, screwed up the build where he went from Warrior to a mix due to overthinking on the perk usage and had to retire him (also marrying Camilla was a mistake).

My first character was some Cyrod who used just about everything and was good as nothing. I abandoned him at around Level 30.

My first "real and official" character was a Nord mage who wore robes everywhere and specialized in 1H swords and just about every single school of magic. I completed the MQ, CW, and Dawnguard. I was also just about to complete Dragonborn until I had a urge to restart. And the best part is that he was Level +70 too.

However, that was all back when I played on X360.

Name: Thengeld

Gender: Male

Class: 2h heavy weapon, strongman, flower picking, orator.

Profession: Killing things or talking to them nicely.

Background: After escaping the Imperial homeland province of Cyrodiil he was captured by the Legion and sent to the executioners block. After finding the golden dragon claw, joining the Companions, picking some flowers and slaying his first dragon, Thengeld was confused about what to do in life and so was left by his creator on an iceberg somewhere in the Sea of Ghosts.

My first and only character.

Name: http://i.imgur.com/uZVN4Ot.jpg
Age: 28 (born E4 174 18th of Last Seed)
Race: Imperial
God/DP: Sithis, the Nine Divines
Class: Battlemage/Nightblade hybrid
Main Skills: Heavy Armor, One-Handed, Smithing, Destruction, Conjuration, Restoration, Sneak
Factions: Dark Brotherhood, Imperial Legion, Thieves' Guild

Background Info: Son of Pontius (one of the last of the Black Hand of the Dark Brotherhood in Cyrodiil that was murdered by a bandit), did Legion find himself alone in the world as an orphan on the streets in some of the near lawless cities in Cyrodiil. Father murdered and mother disappearing did he never knew either of them, with Legion's true name forever unknown. Eventually was he taken in by a Dunmer Blacksmith in Skingrad named Vanryth, who became a close father figure to him, even teaching him smithing and some magic. When years past, did Legion grew older and more curious to see the rest of the world, and wanted to discover more about himself and his past. In E4 200, did Legion leave a note for his old Dunmer father, and ventured off. Eventually, he found himself in northern Cyrodiil in Bruma, and eventually (and unknowingly) crossing the borders of Skyrim, where he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Just last night did I finally finish his story and its rather sad. I attempted making another character (that Dunmer Mage I always wanted) but I just couldn't do it. I've grown too attached to my main character to play as someone else. Good thing about this is that I can finally work on his epilogue, maybe even do so by playing as him again another day. :D

Merrigrin, a male Nord. He went through about 4 more incarnations, though :)

I did not know enough about Skyrim to have a backstory, though I did try to think of why I was in Darkwater Crossing when Ralof mentioned that. I failed at that :)

I chose the Thief Stone when Ralof prompted me. He told me "there is still time to change my ways." :lol:

I went through Bleakfall Barrow before ever setting one foot in Whiterun thanks to the Giolden Claw. The first time I leveled up I went from 1 to 5.

For Skyrim my first character was Braggen, imperial male in his late thirties of no particular class or background who's only purpose in mind was having fun and exploring Skyrim. He ended up a sneaky archer type who tried everything.

A nord warrior who retired at lvl 21 and was reborn a dunmer assassin when he realized that stealthy characters are much more fun to play than warrior types..

Stealthy rogue type characters are the only type of characters I have played since, different variations though, of course. It's not like I am playing the exact same build, race and RP with every character I make but all are stealthy none the less.

In Skyrim? A Breton who after a few different incarnations became my main character alongside a Khajiit.

I can't remember exactly what his background was to begin with, but in general:

Name: Alois

Age:24

Class: Battlemage

A descendant of the Champion of Cyrodiil. He lived in Rosethorn Hall in Skingrad before following his sister to the College of Winterhold after she left the Synod. Then bad things happened and he ended up in Helgen.

Later iterations added an interest in baking and his job as Salmo the Baker's assistant, along with a bit of sword training from the Fighter's Guild to justify how he can pick up a sword and use it easily. He also had his sister teach him a basic Frost and Healing spell "just in case." He also happens to suffer from a severe learning disability, as he cannot use the knowledge he attains from spell tomes to create his own spells.(Not really, he's just lazy)

Still playing my first character, Nord with high single-handed (Enchanted ebony battle axe FTW!), blocking and relative perks. little bit of magic mixed in, Level 43, completed DG and DB - about 90% finished MQ. Experimenting with this playthrough is an understatement.. :icecream:

Dark elf, dual dagger, vampire assassin. she just killed people. :-)

Then a Breton, dual dagger, werewolf assassin with archery on the side. This character was my do everything in the game build. (wish i never did it. took too much mystery out of the game.) I never did the mages or fighters guild in Oblivion. It left an unknown element to the game. those "strange" people. It was worth more than running the quests, though I didn't even realize it then.

Today it's Michi, my female wood elf archer explorer in this strange world called Skyrim, famed for its ivory. Stays out of the walled cities.

I thought I was the only one that (re)incarnated characters...

Arinbjorn (my main character) is now by his 3rd one (and hopefully final). I've had various characters, but this one is my favourite by far. He's also connected to the personal lore of my favourite Morrowind' one.
