Zakarius Svedlin: The Legend Begins (Again)

Post » Tue Mar 02, 2010 11:03 pm

Name: Zakarius Svedlin
Race: Imperial
Age: 22
Class Name: Ace
Birthsign: Atronach
Special: Combat
Attributes: Endurance, Strength
Skills: Alteration, Athletics, Blunt, Conjuration
Heavy Armor, Marksman, Mercantile

Back Story:
I am Zakarius Svedlin, and I work for a top secret organization within the Providence of Cyrodil. The organization who will be unnamed is a private agency outside of the government. We feel the Blades and Imperial Guard are inadequate. We actually had notice of the assassination plot before the Emperor had his supposed prophecy, so the organization arranged for me to be arrested in attempt to derail the assassination. It was my first mission. I failed, I had planned to stab the assassin but he was a step ahead and hit me with a Silence and Paralyze spell and slayed the emperor right in front of me. I was then charged by a Blade called Baurus with the task of finding the heir to the throne. However I do not, will not, fail again. I now set out to better my skills and only when I am a Master of all trades will I embark on saving the world from... OBLIVION!

That is cool but I play PS3 so no mods. I do have Knights of the Nine though. Aside from that my character is more Melee than anything else. Stealth is a huge backseat.

Another one? :lol:

Good backstory though, it makes sense, and is pretty good. :D

Edit: Don't you think he's a bit young though? Why would his organization give him such a monumental task when he's so young and relatively inexperienced?

MODIFICATIONS

Exactly the same set up and story except character is an half-orc half-imperial named Zak gro-Svedlin.

Great backstory, and you kept it short, which is a plus. Got right to the point. My latest character (Breton male mage) also got thrown in jail intentionally, but I forget what happened. I got it written down at home.

I believe there's a mod in which you actually start on the Anvil docks, as a person who just landed in Cyrodiil, no quests, no nothing. Just a couple gold, a dagger and an apple. Then if you get arrested by one of the high-ranking guards; the MQ begins the way it does for vanilla gamers.

Nice backstory! I wonder though if he will try to prove himself in the Arena before embarking on this great quest. Or if he may have a bit of a dark side hidden down deep that could be put to use for the Dark Brotherhood.

I will begin training in the arena, and if I encounter the Dark Brotherhood I will smite them without mercy.

Now you got my curiosity. How does the rest of the song go?


(Verse 1)
My daddy spent his life lookin' up at the sky
He'd cuss, kick the dust, sayin' son it's way too dry
It clouds up in the city, the weather man complains
But where I come from, rain is a good thing

(Chorus)
Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey
Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky
Back roads are boggin' up, my buddies pile up in my truck
We hunt our honeys down, we take 'em into town
Start washin' all our worries down the drain
Rain is a good thing

(Verse 2)
Ain't nothin' like a kiss out back in the barn
Wringin' out our soakin' clothes, ridin' out a thunderstorm
When tin roof gets to talkin'; that's the best love we made
Yea where I come from, rain is a good thing

Repeat Chorus

(Bridge)
Farmer Johnson does a little dance
Creeks on the rise, roll up your pants
Country girls, they wanna cuddle
Kids out playin' in a big mud puddle

Repeat Chorus

Rain is a good thing, rain is a good thing, rain is a good thing

My character started with the Arena then went to the DB and now mixes MQ with MG even though he hates MG, don't think there's a theme song for that haha. He does have a reason for this bizarre turn of events however.
