Maybe we might even have a look at ghastley's apparel, although she'll not want anything too revealing.


So not the Vampirella outfit, then? Let me know if you need anything custom.

Absolutely I will. wub.gif I'm sure your catalog already has something she'd like too!

Name: ?

Race: Dark Elf

Gender: male

Age: middle-aged

Sign: the Mage

Home: nowhere

Home Country: Morrowind

What they do for a living: reading

Class: mage

Alignment: chaotic neutral

Dragonborn? no

Skills and talents: alteration, conjuration, destruction, illusion, restoration

Physical Appearance: here

Eyes: blind

Build: slim

Weapons of preference: short weapons

Clothing: Dunmer clothes

Biography/Life History: the real name and the past of this Dark Elf are shrouded in mystery. Some claim that he was a librarian in Vivec, and with time grew mad, because of the sheer amount of books he needed to take care of. Those with a touch for schemes claim that his main interest were books that were forbidden to read, and these acts attracted the attention of Hermaeus Mora, who placed in his library the book, that was not allowed to be read. For years and years the Dark Elf resisted the urge to read it, but eventually gave in, and opened it. They say that he was reading it for months without stopping, without even looking up, without eating and without drinking, without even sleeping. His hair fell out, his face grew old and pallid, his posture became that of a scrawny goblin. When he at last closed the book, he was blind, yet cursed with eternal reading. He needed to read more and more, and despite his blindness, he could still read. Such is the punishment for those that provoke the Daedra, or perhaps this is all just a made-up story from people with a too vivid imagination.

Mental Profile/Personality: because of his appearance, he may look like a messenger of evil, even considered to be a vampire. Yet the Dark Elf seems harmless, as long as he's left alone, particularly while reading. His only interest are books, and if someone engages him into a conversation, he'll rarely provide any sensible answer.

Good lord. We're just both full of surprises this weekend.

Nice, so you're trying more of a purer mage this time. bluewizardsmile.gif It takes awhile to get mages to the point that they are powerful, in a lot of RPGs this is true.

What a crazy backstory!

Well in any case, thanks for reading. bigsmile.gif

Although winter season in our parts is long over, I rolled another character in Skyrim. My gaming approach is these days slightly different - instead of focusing on one character in one game for a while, I created more of them (two for now) in the same game, and I'll keep switching between them, depending on what I want to do while gaming (fight / take it easy) and on my mood (fully awake, in need of action / tired, in need of slow pace).

Name: Mather

Race: Nord

Gender: male

Age: 28

Sign: the Steed

Home town and home country: Rorikstead, Skyrim

Faction and Rank or Guilds: no factions yet, might change

What he does for a living: adventuring

Class: Warrior

Alignment: Neutral Good

Dragonborn? only Time will tell

Skills and talents: One-Handed, Block, Heavy Armor

Physical Appearance: Mather

Eyes: blue

Build: average

Weapons of preference: one-handed weapons

Clothing: heavy armor

Favored deity: Shor

Magic abilities or powers: none

Biography/Life History: Mather is a childhood friend of Erik the Slayer and after years of longing for adventures, the duo finally decided to leave their hometown Rorikstead behind and head out, in search of new escapades. Occasionally helping the understaffed guards of Rorikstead, Mather gained some expertise in combat and knows his way with a weapon & shield technique and is used to wearing heavy armor. He's young, bold, sometimes a tad too reckless, but he has a heart in the right place.

Nice background for Mather and it works Erik the Hoepusher in perfectly as a companion. smile.gif

Hello Mather. He's got quite an open face. Yeah, he does look ready to go on adventures with Erik the Slayer. viking.gif Rawr!

I foresee plenty of tfc 1s and Lopov shots in this guy's future.

@Acadian - Mather is my first character that was born in Skyrim, so he's more or less familiar with the land and its important landmarks. My previous characters have always been newcomers.

@SubRosa - Mather's mind is currently attuned to the matter of adventuring.

Renee - Lopov shots from me? hehe.gif That's never happened before?

My last character in the trio is Clara but because she's serving a life sentence, you might not see much of her.

Name: Clara Marin (formerly Clara Silver-Blood)

Race: Imperial

Gender: female

Age: late 30s

Sign: the Lover

Home town and home country: Evermore, High Rock

Faction and Rank or Guilds: prisoners of Cidhna Mine

What she does for a living: mining silver

Class: commoner

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Dragonborn? no

Skills and talents: Alchemy, One-Handed, Sneak

Physical Appearance: the only woman in Cidhna Mine

Eyes: bright blue

Build: slender

Weapons of preference: shivs, daggers

Clothing: common clothes

Family: Thandor Silver-Blood - deceased husband

Ymre - deceased son (he wasn't Thandor's son)

Magic abilities or powers: none

Biography/Life History: Clara Marin was an unremarkable tavern wench in Evermore, the town in eastern High Rock. Taking care of her sick son Ymre, Clara needed lots of gold to pay for his son's medicines but because her meager pay at the tavern couldn't cover the expenses, Clara resorted to bloody measures - with her basic skill of alchemy she'd brew dizziness-causing concoctions, secretly pouring them to drinks, which she'd serve to lone noblemen that visited the tavern. Later as they'd leave, Clara would attack and rob them - if they resisted, she killed them without hesitating.

Once she played her trick on Thandor Silver-Blood, the oldest brother of the Silver-Blood Clan, but unlike those before him, Thandor immediately sensed that there's something wrong with his wine. As Clara later attacked him in the back alley, thinking that she'd overpower him with ease, Thandor was the one that overpowered her. Seeing her as a potential aide, Thandor made Clara an offer: join him on his travels over High Rock and help him by negotiating with his business partners by drugging them, so they'll be easier to persuade. In return, he'd cover the expensive medicines required for Ymre.

Much to the dismay and disapproval of the Silver-Blood Clan, Clara and Thandor eventually married, but life with Thandor wasn't easy - being an alcoholic, insults and beatings have become a daily routine for Clara Silver-Blood. Despite expensive medicines Ymre passed away, but Thandor would never allow Clara to leave, regarding her by now as his personal slave. Eventually Clara came up with a plan to kill Thandor while they'd return to his home manor, steal from his family treasury room and escape for good to another province. When they returned to Markarth, she put her plan in motion. She stabbed Thandor during an alcohol-induced deep slumber, but while stealing the jewelry, she got caught by Thandor's steward. Stripped of the Silver-Blood family name, Clara Marin was sentenced to life imprisonment in Cidhna Mine.

Yikes! Of the trio it is Clara who really has some challenges to work through. Escaping from the mine might be good for her . . . not so sure it would be good for the rest of Skyrim though. tongue.gif

Wow, sounds like the rest of Tamriel would be better off if Clara stayed in the mine... Somehow I don't think things will work out that way.

Thanks for the warm welcome of all my three characters, at the moment I'm most interested in Mather's game, so I'll focus on his story. Although I wrote in his description that he's not the Dragonborn, this might change. Thanks to the Live Another Life, he started in Rorikstead, so the Helgen intro was skipped but the mod allows one to pursue the main quest in three ways:

1 - visit Helgen and witness Alduin flying off as it destroyed the town,

2 - starting the Civil War questline and be sent to Whiterun as a part of the questline,

3 - visit Dragonsreach regardless of the Civil war and overhear the conversation about the magical stone at Bleak Falls Barrow.

He probably won't join Stormcloaks or Imperials, so the second scenario is unlikely to be the trigger. I got an inspiration for Mather to be Dragonborn, because I forgot to disable word walls prior to starting his story, so when he came to Rannveig and saw the word wall, he felt being pulled towards it, but rejected doing so for now. So it's possible that in the future Mather will turn out to be Dragonborn, and it'll be an interesting experience, because he'll probably do quite some adventuring / questing before, and also because he's a native of Skyrim, not an outsider from another province.

Maybe then I can finally complete the main quest in Skyrim but since I already tried two times and lost interest halfway through both times, it'll be better if I rush through it before I lose interest again.

Wow, so he might do the M4!n kw3$t then. viking.gif

I agree with skipping the Civil War stuff. You've already done that with Gottham. I've already done CW on both the Imperials' and Stormies side (Claire Voyance and Sir Vyvoor, respectively). I can't get enough of radiant bounty bandit runs and vampire raids, but once the Civil War is done, I wouldn't want to do it over again.

You can just say the Lucius tried in the past, and *fill in the blank* why he never finished. At least you can blame your Dell's disc crash too, not 100% losing inspiration.

It might happen or not, I haven't firmly decided yet. I have a feeling that if I'll start it again, that I'll lose interest in finishing it. Again. laugh.gif

Well the disk crash was responsible for losing Lucius' saves but I lost an interest in the MQ before it happened. Then again, if the crash hadn't happened, I'd probably bring the MQ to the end by now, even if I'd need to force myself to do it.

It is about to be summer. For me, this would be the deal-killer on the MQ. I already know Vyvoor won't get it done until possibly winter of 2020, because once the weather warms up, I lose interest in Skyrim. Maybe you are different though. Maybe playing summer when it's ... um ... 30+ degrees C won't bother you.

I don't have troubles playing desert-themed games in winter or winter-themed games in summer, but when I reach the so called "peak point" with every game, meaning that I'm getting bored, then I need to switch to another game.

I am the same. I can play anything, anytime. But eventually I start getting bored and have to move on.

I never get bored because of *4/20* cool.gif

Well, there was that one time back in 2013 when I did get bored with Saga's game, but she was still on Xbox and figured out how to improve her poisons to the point that she was one-shotting everything. Even ogres. indifferent.gif

Yes, I too admit to eventually becoming bored with a game and switching to something else. three or four years and that's it. enough is enough, I say.
