Help me pick my next character Options

[Lady Saga]

Good evening. I am Lady Saga, and as you can see I'm liking for you to choose which one of these 2 characters I shall play next? I simply cannot decide.

To get a fuller idea of how I'm going to start either character, have a look at the Skyrim Roleplay Ideas thread's OP. I'm literally torn between

(1) a Scout type of character who doesnt' get involved with combat, and who's main function will be to "scout" out new areas of the brown paper map. I'm going to somehow get an oversized copy of the map made (it's okay to do this, according to someone I know who works in a copy place), and then use the copy to travel about, making notations as the scout goes. The Scout will most likely assist other characters of mine who need to get into an uncharted areas safely.

(2) A bandit. Just a low-life, low-intelligence bandit! I envision this guy raiding Riverwood first off, and then moving into some sort of dwelling (or camp) by the side of one of Skyrim's busiest roads. He's going to live here for awhile, literally waiting for NPC's to walk by. The bandit will do this until he thinks of something better, whatever that may be.

For you who don't know me yet, I have but one weird little thing. Whenever I start a new character it must be raining outside. I only start new characters when it's raining for some odd, subconscious reason. But it's supposed to be raining this weekend, so that's good.

Have a vote and an opinion, if you like.

I am going to go for the scout.

I gotta go for the scout.

I'd say scout.

You made an interesting idea about the scout,

I think the scout will be fun.

Okay, that does it then, I"m playing the bandit. Ha ha, just kidding.

Thanks for you input, folks, I'm gonna do the Scout, then. Some of my ancestors were Cherokee, and I'm gonna try to locate an old picture of a man in one of my mom's old picturebooks. I"m looking forward to his existence.

He'll probably be involved with the Imperials eventually, since that makes sense that he's helping outsiders find their way around, but I'm not sure if he'll actually do the official Imperial questline. He may wind up starting it, perhaps. We'll see.

He'll travel mostly by horseback (it's just better to avoid faster enemies this way) and will actually live for extended periods in remote areas. He'll be adept at cooking, hunting wild game, bow & arrow, 1-handed (he'll carry a daggar or an woodcutter's axe for a weapon), and may also wind up taking on a few Illusion and Alteration spells. Calm and Fear will fit in perfectly. Maybe Oakflesh, too. Anything I can link up to traditional American Indian folklore I'm gonna borrow in the game, so far as magic goes.

But like I said, he's mostly gonna be a pacifist. He won't do any dungeon-diving, nor will he get involved with offensive combat. He'll reserve his combat roles for purely defensive purposes.

....It better rain this weekend.
