Thought I'd update my character count. Thing is, I'm not in the habit of making "tests" and I've been lucky over the years that most of mine were successfully played, rather than dropped after getting bored or whatever.


1. Lady Anne -- October 24, 2008 (she lasted 3 hours or so before I started all over with Char #2).

2. character #2 (forgot her name) -- October 24 - ? (She committed suicide after becoming a vampire, and I didn't have the patience to get her cured).

3. Renee Gade -- October or early Nov. of 2008 - Dec. 2008. (got frustrated with the out-of-control leveling, rage/quit RG1's game one day). RG's first incarnation was a Jill-of-all-trades. I was new to the game, so RG was the one who I did a lot of early gaming with. During this time there was no roleplaying! I was in the habit of approaching OB like Tomb Raider, which means: I tried to do EVERY quest thrown her way, find every "secret", which caused a very chaotic & distracted gameplay scenario.

By the time the glass bandits & minotaurs were showing up everywhere I actually quit Oblivion for many months. The world had become very 'inauthentic' in my opinion as weaker enemies were constantly replaced by stronger ones. Thank the Gods I gave OB a second try with....

4. Renee Gade II -- April 2009 'til Spring of 2010 (Dead). RG2 was a mostly-pure fighter. She only used the default healing spell, but no other spells. She did FG and most of Knights of the Nine. She died fighting Umaril the Unfeathered, but also the A-bomb struck her game, and at the time I had no idea what was going on.

Cool thing was, RG2 an actual roleplay. I treated her more like a person, less like a toon. I also began using a Minors for Majors approach so the game's leveling would not sprint forward so fast. RG2 got maybe to Level 7 after 350+ hours.

5. Igodah Go^Pe, Altmer Mage -- Probably May of 2009 to sometime in 2010 (another A-bomb casualty, I RP'd that Igodah died during the final phases of the Main Quest).

6. Dyan phor a'Cauz, Nord Paladin -- May 17, 2010 until Spring or Summer of 2011. (Retired) Dyan did Fighters Guild and Knights of the Nine.

7. Wanda Bone, Redguard Thief -- May of 2010 until ? (game saves accidentally got erased). Wanda spent most of her time in the Imperial City, breaking & entering wherever she could. She was contacted by Thieves Guild but refused to join.

8. Luci Pheria, Dark Elf Witch -- August 5th, 2010 to ? (Got killed by a bandit). Luci was my second questless character, based on Wicked Witch of the West in Wizard of Oz. When I saw Oz I was really young, maybe 4 or 5, and she terrified me! Luci was my way of confronting these childhood fears, in a way. She was also my first-ever Evil character.

9. Lou Zehr-- sometime in 2010. Lou was doing TG, but I never saw this through with him

10. The Grey Wizard, Breton Wizard -- September 12, 2010 to summer of 2011. (Retired). TGW became my CoC, and also is Arch Mage in my gameworld. He was partially based on my first-ever character in tablegames, circa high school/1983: The Blue Wizard.

11. Eradi~Kate, Breton Assassin -- July 3rd, 2011 (inactive). Kate was doing Dark Brotherhood until she got the Purification order from Lucien, which she objected. Since she refused to continue DB, her story lost steam. She still lives in Bleak Flats Cave in my imagination, a sad vampire who rarely goes anywhere.

12. Kahreem of Weet, Redguard Thief -- September 3rd, 2011 (inactive, though I shall return to him). Kahreem did all of Thieves Guild.

13. Lady Saga, Wood Elf Ranger (PS3) -- October 19, 2011 (Active). Saga is mostly questless, and is my explorer who's goal it is to plunder every fort, cave, ruins, dungeon (etc.) in Cyrodiil. To this day she still hasn't met this goal.

14. Ann Thraxx, Imperial Peasant -- February 8, 2012 'til present (inactive due to my PS3 dying). I was writing my first fan-fic style story with her when my PS3 went kaput. She was supposed to be from Kvatch, and had lost her mind after watching her town get infiltrated by Daedra.

15. Sir Tanley -- October 22, 2012 (game never got started, I created ST and added him in the Hot or Not Contest of 2012, but did no actual gaming).

16. The Terror from the Imperial Sewers (Abwasserkanal Eidesche), Argonian Barbarian -- Spring of 2013 (Kaput) My only beast to this day, Abwasserkanal Eidesche (German for Sewer Lizard) lived under the Imperial City, occasionally emerging to steal food and "shinies". He got chased around by the guards a lot!

17. Joan of Arkay, Breton Crusader -- May 29, 2013 (Active). I started her game on Xbox and transferred her to PC in 2019 or 2020. Joan is going to become my official Nerevarine in Morrowind, and is currently doing Vampire Hunting (mod).

18. Lady Saga II (Xbox)

19. Clea Vigge -- Some time in December 21, 2013 (my first PC character). Clea was supposed to be this buxom gal who I would experiment with modwise, and also explore Better Cities. But I only created her, never did any gaming.

20. Snaat Rayag, Dark Elf Merchant -- January 2, 2014 (Active). Snaaty is a skooma salesman. He does no quests, and I still game with him actively 3x a year. Even though he does no quests, his game is surprisingly addictive!

21 Lady Saga III My third PC character, created February 8, 2014, (Active) though I consider LS3 to be a continuation of Lady Saga on PS3 and Xbox -- Lady Saga continues to roam wherever she wants to, all over Cyrodiil. She mainly focuses on Umbacano quests (DONE; 2024), and a few random mod-added quests as well. I RP that her game started in the 4th Era, Year 5, my way of "explaining" all the mod-added differences in her world.

22. Renee Gade III, Imperial Warrior -- March 25, 2014 (Active). RG3 is the daughter of RG2, my PS3 gal who died during KotN. She focuses on the Arena, and various mod-added quests.

23. Sarah Phimm, Breton Servant -- 2015 (story concluded). Sarah was a servant, cook, scullery maid, but then became a vampire. Inspired from the Dark Shadows TV show. I spent a few months making a story about her while learning OB's Construction Set. Sarah eventually got cured of her vampirism, and then returned to her cooking/serving job at Twin Sisters Lodge in Skingrad.

24. Goblin Lady, Imperial Scholar -- 2019 (story concluded). The Goblin Lady had an extensive backstory, and actual story with its own thread. She was a scholar who originally lived in Morrowind, with the unique ability to communicate with goblins. She was actually aligned with most goblins in her gameworld.

25. Balztu Dahwaalz, Orc Warrior. Balztu was supposed to explore Valenwood, but I found VI to be so buggy I couldn't enjoy going there. I'd never, ever played an orc before when I rolled her. Reason I rolled an orc: I'd become bored of rolling all the other races!

So there. 25 in all. There might be a couple others I've forgotten over the years, but not many!

Umm. . . that would be one. Sort of like mirocu.

But you've had multiple versions of Acadian before rolling Buffy, right? You experimented with different races too, though all of them were named Acadian.

Shh. Don't let Buffy hear you say any of that.

Wow, 25 characters? And I remember basically all of them!

I honestly can’t remember how many characters I’ve made in Oblivion. That said, I have really bad “character add”. I’ll start playing one character, only to have an idea for a new character that I think would be fun. Baldur’s Gate 3 was especially bad for me, lol.

Indeed. This One suffers from Restartitis like Callidus Thorn and so many others.
