Male/Nord/Warrior+Mage/MQ later. You should have an option for doing Main Quest parallel with other stuff. I usually do it like one MQ quest, then some other stuff, then the next MQ quest and so on, to spread it out to have the Main Quest both start and end it all.

Gender: Female

Age: 28 or 32, I'll decide when the game is out.

Class: Jack of all trades

Bio: Thrown in prison for reasons still to be discovered, Reina finds herself faced with the call of destiny that she would prefer not to answer. But since it meant she didn't have to mope around in jail then answering the call made for the better choice.

Has training in many areas and is always happy to learn even more skills. Hates to kill but will kill if she must.

Doesn't take kindly to sixism.

-gender:female
-stealth+magic
-probably bosmer because that might fit best (I'm interested how all the races look like though)

I hardly can force myself to play a pure warrior, not stealing anything, be for the Empire and stay on that path the entire game.

Thats from an earlier thread that I posted on.

EDIT: I'm changing his age to 21 as thats a rather uneventful 238 years

Curious of peoples opinions on it, I didn't put a hole lot of effort into it and it was mostly off the top of my head so I have mixed feeling about it.

Additional notes: He is a historian and an archeolagist, as well as a writer of realstic and post-apocalyptic fiction. He had an apprenticehsip under Bendu Olo, who acted as a father figure to Nevuran.

Name: Eadric Stormbiter
Gender: Male
Race: Nord
Specialization: Warrior/Thief(I Guess)
Favored Skills: 1 Handed Weapons ( Dual Axes Named Henceforth and Hereafter), Archry (Hunting), a few other misc. skills like Sneak.
Factions: Companions
Backstory:
Born to an Imperial Watchman and a Nordic Huntress in Solitude, Eadric had a happy, well off childhood and joined the guard at age 16, rising high, much to the pride of his father. At age 17, he found the woman of his dreams, Arianna Rhyse, a gorgeous young Breton lass with Silk blond Hair. They married a years later and life was perfect for Eadric. At age 22, he and His wife FINALLY were able to concieve a child after 4 years of trial and error. The day of the birth arrived and much to Eadric's shock, the child had deep, coarse black hair, instead of the blonde of his mother or the dirty light brown he himself had. Needless to say, Eadric carried out an investigation into the matter at once. He found out, with very little work at all that one of his Sworn brothers in the Watch was the culprit. In the middle of dinner, for all the Barracks to see, Eadric walked up to him as calm as can be and simply asked "Why?". Jethrough, the man responsible and quite drunk at the moment, merely shrugged and said, " I was Bored." and then laughed. Eadric nodded, shrugged and began laughing as well, he and Jethrough laughed and laughed until Eadric all of a sudden drove a broken Bottle into Jethrough's throat and just stood there, silent, watching the life bleed from him.
Instead of execution, his father Darrius merely stripped him of his rank, expelled him from the guards, and when Eadric began to say," Father, I'm sorry," Darrius merely raised his hand, looked away, and said, "Get out of my sight, whoever you are, I have No Son." Eadric silently packed up his things and left home. Arianna was sobbing, and on his way out, Eadric almost asked who she was crying for, him , Jethrough, Herself, or that bastard spawn of a snake?
The next 6 years were spent in a drunken stupor, wandering about doing odd jobs and Mercenary contracts. On a hunt for a mage rather fond of Lightening spells, He earned the Name Stormbiter, after he bit the Fingers off of said mage as he was preparing a spell to Electrocute him. Almost every Septim he earned was spent on booze and women. One fateful day, while drowning his memories in a Flagon of ale, he heard a man say, "Hey, Aren't you that Guardkiller?" The man, along with his 2 friends, recognized Eadric from all those years ago and began to heckle him. Tempers flared, Weapons were drawn, and before he knew it, the 3 men were dead.
He allowed himself to be captured be the guard, and when the sentence of Execution Rang through the court room, Eadric felt at peace. He had been dead for 6 years already, so the downward swing of the Ceremonial Axe was a welcome thought.
The gods however, have other plans for Eadric Stormbiter...

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

(Edit: Added a ' to theres.)

An update to my post on my character, since I intend on role playing my character as much as possible while playing the game since I already write her story, which isn't connected to the game or any games she appears in, well of the game allows gender choice and character creation -

Reina Beaumont is older than she appears to be, her reasons for her arrest may be connected to her mysterious age and the rumours that she may be an immortal who is little more than a pawn of the fates.

If the rumours are true, then Reina Beaumont may very well have been at various incidents recorded in history. However she never talks about her past. When asked she just looks sad and lonely, and never answers the question.

It is noted that she is unable to use magic, instead she uses tools that are crafted to allow magic use, but she does not have the physical ability to use magic. She has been noted to have a deep fear of the dark.
