Need character ideas, For a second playthrough Options

[Thomas Kaira]

Okay, so my Bosmer thief is now officially over and done with, so I need a new character, and I need your help figuring out the details.

What I know so far: he will be of the Heavy Armor Warrior archetype (Guardian Stone will be Warrior). Here's what I need to figure out, though:

Which race? Imperial, Nord, or Altmer?

Which class? Knight, Paladin, or Cleric? Guardian-blessed specializations can go to 100, non-specialized Guardian-blessed skills or specialized unblessed skills can go to 75, non-specialized unblessed skills can go only to 50.

Knight: specialize in Two-handed blades, Heavy Armor, Alteration, Restoration, Smithing (Heavy), and Conjuration.

Paladin: specialize in One-handed blades, Blocking, Heavy Armor, Restoration, Enchanting, and Speech.

Cleric: specialize in One-handed axes and maces, Heavy Armor, Restoration, Enchanting, Conjuration, and Alteration.

Guilds are pre-destined to be the Companions for the Knight and Paladin, and the College of Winterhold for the Cleric.

Alignment: Imperial or Stormcloak? You decide.

Starting attributes: I will be using the console to buff/nerf starting attributes according to character.

Knight: Magicka 70, Health 120, Stamina 140, Carry Weight 450
Paladin: Magicka 80, Health 110, Stamina 140, Carry Weight 450
Cleric: Magicka 120, Health 70, Stamina 130, Carry Weight 400

I certainly considered it, but I didn't want to go with an Orc because they are berserkers through and through. They are of the "armor is for sissies" bunch in my eyes. Heavy armor doesn't really suit them for me, I see them just charging barechested, and despite how much this might please our residents here, I'm not really of the mind to make a barbarian/berserker character right now. Not to mention I'm trying not to unbalance the game too much.

Anyways, I've settled on the Imperial Knight, because I have never tried a two-handed specialization in an Elder Scrolls game before. Sword-minus-board should be fun.

Oh, and since I like that backstory, he's going to be on the side of the Stormcloaks.

Starting attributes are as I said they would be, 70 Magicka, 120 Health, 140 Stamina, and 450 Carry Weight. Health regen has also been killed completely, and I've given my character a slight speed boost because I feel the default speed is a bit too slow.
