Since this is a role playing game i thought it would be fun to hear peoples character story( come on were all thinking one). Like Todd said in an interview he likes to leave the reason why were a prisoner to us. SOOOO what background story led your prisoner to be held captive and what will he do once he first escapes??

In before wall of texts from nerds wanting everybody to read their character but won't bother reading the characters of other peole.

Caught feeding a horse Moon Sugar.

:swear: stole a fork and was too cheap to pay a fine :nono: :bolt:

Name:slim shady

In jail:CAUSE IM A CRIMINAL

Quit screaming [censored] I aint gonna shoot you im gonna pull you towards this bullet and put it through you

Serious though im not sure

Maybe stole the last known sweetroll.

I guess its only right for me to start this one off

My character:

Male

Redgaurd

Mage

What 'going with is my character has recently become aware of his Mage abilities which led to him setting a former villager on fire in a heated argument. Leading to his arrest i like to think i'm not actually guilty i tend to play good guys. After his escape i will head to the nearest village and start a job. since were suppose to be this Dragonborn ongoing this HUGE task of saving the world. I dont think i'm going to touch the main quest atleast 30 or more hours into the game. It just doesn't make sense that i pause my tremendous dragon slaying activites for side quests or to raise a family. That being said the first thing on my list after i escape beheading (or w.e) will be heading to the nearest village. Once i get there i am going to start working and try to live a life within the village. Wife, kids, house, Job etc. When that gets boring my character will start peaking more interest in the arcane arts again. Then i will leave my home and everything else to join the College of Winterhold???( not sure of name) To become the greatest Mage/adventurer there is!

Aegir, Nord.

Profession: Blacksmith.

Allegiance: Rebels


Was caught smuggling raw glass and ebony over the Cyrodil/Skyrim border to use in making a high Rebel Official's weapon.


I dunno, all I've got...

In after the idiot post that isn't a true reply...

Jaywalking and indecent exposure to the churches during service

Im playing the memory game. I cant remember! But I'll sure as heck find out! I know im not a bad person so I must have been set up or there was some terrible mistake. I might make a mod about it some day.

caught trying to steal the red dragon crown after he escapes he ignores the main quest joining the thieves guild

Failed assassination on the king, while possessed by an ancient spirit. Surrendered at the boarder after a brief escape.

Been in prison for the last seven years. Now to be executed for the potential link to the King's death.

My character tried to bring spear, crossbow and few throwing knives from Morrowind to Skyrim and was caught on the border
He didn't knew that smuggling superior weapons is crime punished by death

Of course he isn't guilty, because it was his standard equipment in Argonian occupied Morrowind, but for some reasons no official wanted to listen to him

I would like to think that there is a reason this time for our character being sent off to be executed, like somebody in power knows that your character is a Dragonborn and fears that you may be a threat to his rule. It has been said that since the Septim line has vanished the Blades have been hunted down for some reason and I can only assume it may be because of their ties to the emperor and those with the title dragonborn so if this is the case I cant imagine those hunting the Blades would be to hospitable to those they suspect to be a potential dragonborn.

Well, technically we're in jail for crossing the border into Skyrim, why we were doing that is up for us to decide.

He invented a gun :gun:

First thing he does when he gets ou tis find the nearest pine tree to the left and relives himself :nod:
Then off to cash in begining dungeon loot for armor or weapons

It was my doppleganger's fault. That guy is such a dike.

*Surprise twist*

I am the doppleganger but oh no! I have amnesia!

A twist? On a doppleganger twist?! You're like the next M. Night Shamwow!

Huh, I didnt know that was the official reason.

Well that works beautifully then, as my character is an Imperial Agent with secret orders from up high to decapitate the rebellion in Skyrim by any means necessary.

He will be rather annoyed to be sidetracked from his intrigues and assassinations by the whole "Dragons" thing.

Possible other story

Arrested for trying to genocide wood elves

Later released when the supreme court of skyrim decided that wasn't a crime

*Twist*

This what I forgot with my amnesia so it's actually the same story!

me and a group of my bandit buddies ambushed a caravan of goods heading into skyrim. legion foresters caught us, and killed everyone. i'm the only survivor and i was taken prisoner.

Why did u decide to make your made-up character a white rapper whose name is the name of candy? [ Just so u all know, I'm not hating on Eminem. I love his music ]

Ulric was a nord born into poverty, an orphan of the turbulent era. Captured in a bandit raid at a very young age he was sold into slavery and found a master in an Imperial noble of the northern territories of Cyrodiil. His servitude, however, was cut short in the seemingly endless struggles between the Imperials and the rebellion of the Thalmor of the old Aldmeri Dominion. During a skirmish, his master was slain in combat by an uprising of those sympathetic to Thalmor. Thankfully his life was spared in the death and destruction, having happened upon and hidden away in a small crevice in the earth only big enough for him to fit through with his small stature. There he remained until the clash of swords and the smell of blood grew stale in the air. At 10 with his new found freedom he had few choices, struggling as a street thief until he was big enough to wield a blade, when he took up arms as a hired blade in the corrupt underbelly of the crumbling Empire.

After the fall of the High King of Skyrim, he hears tale of great wars coming in his long lost homeland. He was unsure whether it was the promise of work, being a mercenary, or the call of what he used to call home in a distant far off dream. Either way he was set on making it there, the only problem was he had gained quite a bit of heat when he tried skipping town, as some who might call themselves his "boss" insisted he should stay and work for them. Let's just say they didn't like to be told no. Sooooo upon crossing the border he was caught, no doubt framed by the corrupt gaurds and officials under those crime bosses payroll for the death left in his wake, unknowing of the great destiny that lies ahead of him after his imprisonment and impending execution.....

I diddnt know crossing the border was a punishable offense let alone one that warrants an execution, man the laws in Skyrim are tough especially considering that in Cyrodiil murder is only a 2000 septim fine.

Name: Nadezhda (means "hope")
Nord, male, 25 years old...
Happened when he was 16...


I was sleeping on the ground, with cold, hungry, and without money to buy food, clothes or a house... And the only thing I had with me was a necklace, I couldn't sell it. My father gave it to me.
I had to work...
Someday, a citizen appeard in front of me, and said: "I heard you need money, but you'll have to do something for me"
I accepted it. I would be dead if I hadn't.
He said: "I want you to kill this guy, he lives in the house in front of the Book Store"

I went there to kill the guy, but when I entered the house, there was a guard, and the guy who offered me the job before...
The guard took the necklace from me and gave it to him... Then he put me in jail...

I like to play a Khajiit who is in a cult that believes that Khajiit are the superior race and set to take-over the entire world. And the khajiit usually has no trouble killing non-khajiit and beast races. So jail isn't a big stretch. It could be in there on purpose to recruit new members, find out info, etc. Dunno. In Oblivion I used partner mods to add khajiit I could control and add members to the cult, ending them to guard outposts, etc. One of them was a prophet who was sent to bring about khajiit domination. I think it will be fun to do this in Skyrim as well. Forget the nords.
