I know there have been a few threads on this, but I want to know what kind of character you want to play. Race, birthsign(you think you might use), skill you will focus on, type of guilds you want to join et cetera.
My first character
Harald/Talan
Nord/Redguard
The Mage
Heavy Armor, Blunt, Blade, Restoration, Destruction, Armorer(-ish), Block.
Fighter Guild(-ish)
Knightly Order(if they are in)
Mages Guild(-ish)
Fight for Skyrims independence from the Empire.
And in general a goodie two-shoes.
If Redguard I will be born as a Crown, the (former?) nobilety of the Ra'Gada.
What about you?

A Nord. And not because it's set in Skyrim; but because being a Nord is just plain badass-ery.

Another one? Ohk.

Nord Barbarian for the MQ (I know, never heard of that combination before) and something like a Dunmer Rogue/Assassin for... something else. I'm especially interested in the Dunmer's role in Skyrim, them being refugees there now and all.

Jynthor War-Smith
Nord
The Warrior
Two-handed, Smithing... He's so badass he doesn't need anything else.
Might join the Fighter's Guild or something similar if he needs gold or is bored.
Personality: The end justifies the means.

...And he shall know no fear.

A nord barbarian (gotta wait for a good name to pop out)
The warrior (well see when i got the game in my hands)
Heavy armor, blade, blunt, h2h (Hand to hand) block, and mayby some mid level restaration.
Fighters Guild
Knightly order(if they are in)
And other Guilds that focus on Combat
HE likes to serach dungeons and find the most powerful weapon in the lore.

PS:AND just for fun my next character will be the same but evil:P

PSS: On and Lady of the Sky nice cortana pic

Well mine is :
Race: Breton
Class: Night Blade (i know there is no classes)
Birth Sign: Probably Apprentice
Skills: Destruction,Illusion,Sneak,Short Blades (Blades),Light Armor,Alteration (i think there will be 6 major skills not 7 like in Oblivion)
Guilds : Some kind of Mages Guild and Assassin/Thief Guild of course.

Male nord Viking:
Axes, Light armor (preferably medium) and a Heavy Shield.
Bashing skulls and drinking mead... the real Nord life

Vereth
Dunmer
Mage
Destruction, Conjuration, Enchant, Alteration, Restoration, Illusion, Alchemy, Blade.
Mages Guild(-ish)
Fights and studies for Morrowind (What's left of it), Great House Telvanni, and for the sake of the Arcane Arts. Partly for his own, as well.
He's a good enough guy, but like all Telvanni can be abit "Ah yes, your problems AFTER I've researched this spell."

Balforn (means ancient flame in norse language)
Is a nord mercenary.
Birthsign will be the lady as always

he will focus alot on axe and spear, and be rather good with a bow when he needs it

Aldas
Race: Altmer

Class: Savint (custom class, and no, It's not the same as a savant)

Birthsign: The Atronach

Favored Attributes: Intelligence and Endurance

Major Skills: Medium Armor, Pole-arm, Destruction, Restoration, Alchemy, Illusion, Enchanting.

Factions: Mages' Guild (anything magic related)

He's probably gonna be neutral or evil, which is odd considering I'm usually the good guy in video games

Altmer: Adaqueril (Psijic) Ulada (Necromancer)

Dunmer: Bradas Indaral (Assassin/Bounty Hunter)

Nord: Ulfgar Bjornmanne (Chief Weaponsmith/Master Blacksmith)

Imperial: Crassius Plaloscius (Battlemage/Merchant/Smuggler)

Bosmer: Nalirim (Falinesti Honor Guard)

Khajiit: S'Ohraka (Bounty Hunter/Thief/Mane Honor Guard)

Argonian: Gah-Okaju (Shadowscale/Hist Honor Guard)

Redguard:

Orsimer: Ra'Grak (Mercenary)

Breton: Thetric the Wise (Mage/Spellsword/Battlemage)

Dumner, and I'll probably just level up everything.

Name: Ariake
Race: Breton
Birthsign: The Mage
Favourite attributes (if they're in): Endurance and Willpower
Specialization: Combat
Main skills (used a LOT): Single-handed (long blade), dual-wield (two long blades ), destruction, alteration, (light/medium) armor, smithing
Side skills (used occasionally): enchanting, illusion, restoration, sneak, athletics
Factions: Fighters Guild, Mage's Guild
Occupation: tomb... whoops, sorry ... I mean dungeon raider, bandit hunter
Philosophy: strike only when attacked first, the easy road ain't the high road, lives are not (!) expendable, the law is there to protect those who can't protect themselves - I need no protection, and if what I do doesn't threaten anyone, screw the law. Religions are jus another form of law.
Behaviour: mostly the good guy that's often altruistic, but is hated by the nobles and authorities for not being obedient or easily swayed (which is why he ended up in prison). Fights Alduin to protect lives, not for anyones glory or pleasure. Hates politics.

Name: ?*
Race: Nord
Gender: Male
Birthsign: The Mage
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Favored Skills & Personality: My chaotic evil nord male loves to wrap himself in armor and shield, defensive spells and healing magic, he does not care how much damage he can cause as long as he feels like he′s protected by a fortress, not having armor on makes him feel exposed so he only bathes after killing anything he can find in a kilometre radius around the place he bathes and even then throws up defensive spells with alteration magic and keeps his armor close and a conjured creature to keep lookout, he will also summon creatures to serve as an extra layer of protection against attacks (summon a scamp + throw him at the nearest archer so he can′t shoot from afar = makes sense to him). He doesn′t practice restoration healing for the sake of healing others but only to heal himself, any scraqes or wounds and any possible weak areas are healed and cleansed by him, he will never feel satisfised with his defenses, he always wants more. For fighting back he keeps a one handed mace with him and practices disarming his opponents with it and he also likes the mace since it allows him to hit his enemies hard enough to tip them off balance so they can′t hit him back.

He is chaotic evil in the way that he will take the time to kill anyone in his path but only in the sense of "you are in my way" but not the "oh I just love gouging people" kind of way, he hates dirty fighting despite being evil so he goes out of his way to hunt down scum like thiefs and assassins and will give anyone a chance to fight back by first declaring a fight and then attacking.

I′d say if I had to pick his 6 favorite skills they would be: Heavy Armor, Block, Alteration, Restoration, Conjuration & 1h Maces (that is blunt or 1h wep skill).

Ragnar/Valdemar/Hakon (not sure yet on name)
Nord Male
Was a pirate/raider, but was captured. Ties in with being in jail at games start.
Will focus on light armor, (fur/leather/chainmail) and two handed swords.
Most likely to join Fighters Guild or close equivalent in game.

I almost always play an Orc. I'm undecided between a spellsword, assassin, or warrior at the moment. My spellsword would specialise in Fire magic and wield a single longsword, with a mix of chainmail and plate armour. The Ranger would wield twin daggers and a bow and would rely completely on stealth (lockipcking etc), with a mix of clothing and light leather. The warrior would be more Nordic/Viking wielding a war axe and shield, but with light armours such as fur and leather. All sound really fun, especially with the new combat mechanics. I'll end up doing all of them, I just can't decide which first :S.

Cabius
Dark Elf
Male

I guess I would call him a MageRogue, He is stealthy wearing light armor with a short blade (2 if dual wielding is in), and Wields magic the likes of Conjuration, Illusion,Alteration,& Destruction.

This is the dude I always play as.

Nord with a bow, sword and shield. Axe if there's an incentive to wield one. May also want to carry a spear if these are in the game. Light armour. Stealthy appoach to make a first hit by arrow and then try to finish in agile mêlée. If enemies get tougher I'll want to adopt a "tank" approach, carry heavier armour and wield a claymore. I'll want to invest in personality traits. Chances are my first one will be female. I'll join warrior factions.

Helene
Breton
Her birthsign will be the Mage.
The young breton woman is a Researcher who's interested in every technology bit of dwemeri Origin. She lives not far away from a big city, in a huge dwemeri tower. The tower was the place of her birth, too. She's now the only occupant of the tower. Her parents had died, when she was 14 years old.
To earn for a living, she sells items she's crafting ... but besides Alchemy and Smithing, the Art of Enchanting is her main field of interest. In her search of knowledge she often undertakes dangerous expeditions and her crafted items often come in handy. To enchance her protection, the young girl does not shy away from the use of Heavy Armor or calling aid from the outer realms.
Her favored weapons are Crossbow and Hammer.

I'm ZE REDGUARD!!!

I'm just gonna make a Short Pink Nord called Kirby...... better yet Ybrik long lost son of Ysgmir

Name: Xernique
Race: Custom, preferably Mystic Elf
Class: Assassin
Preferable skills: Sneak, Marksman, Dual Wield, Light Armor, Illusion, Alteration, Block

Will not finish the MQ with this one. Don't want to draw attention to myself by becoming too much of a hero
To some extent, a war is preferable for the assassin community anyway so I won't meddle with this conflict.
I'll try to make a name for myself by adventuring and becoming an important person in Skyrim . Might consider joining a guild but won't rise too high in rank.
Meanwhile, I'll join the assassin guild, disguising myself when assassinating and not moving openly in public.

I'll need to download a disguise mod of some sort if it isn't included in the actual game. Please be.

Might not be my first character I'll make, but I will be amused by putting an Argonian through it all. Think about it, a lizard man running around in the snow fighting dragons? Whats not to love there

My character will be a redguard.
I know that he will be a hybrid character, using mobile combat combined with some general skills like acrobatics to get around and maybe some magic.
Inspired a little by cyrus.

Argonian Ranger. Always and Forever into Oblivion, Baby!!!

No one's gonna force me to play a different race and class combo!!!

Name: Ralcos Myre-Django
Race: Argonian
Class: Ranger (custom)
Attributes: Agility and Endurance
