Skyrim Classes & Builds, Post 'em, discuss 'em, play 'em Options

[Rohirrim]

This'll be for all the classes and builds that don't revolve around a specific character. It's pretty much what it says in the title. On to my contribution:

Race: Nord
Age: Mid-30s, to early 40s
Quirks(if any): revived from a block of ice, from the Merethic era
Inspiration: Saxon warriors
Skills: One-handed (Axe), Heavy Armor, Block, Smithing
Companion(if any): Dunno yet
Bio: A raider, this Nord was frozen in an iceberg in the Sea of Ghosts. After being thawed out by Thalmor mages, he regained his sense and ran as fast as he could, before being caught by Imperials and taken to Helgen.
Goals: Remain neutral in the Civil War, get Ancient Nordic armor, Helm of Yngol and Ancient Nord weapons early on, defeat Alduin.
Play style:Move in the wilderness a lot, kill any Thalmor patrols, rob any rich merchants, generally be a VIKING! (grrr )

The Distance Fighter

Major Skills: Light Armor, Two-handed, Smithing
Minor Skills: Either Destruction or Archery for those ranged pests. And or Stealth to sneak in close. Block is handy for times enemies get too close.
Major Attributes: Health
Weapons: A Two-Handed Sword or Battleaxe
Races: Any
Play style: The distance fighter uses her weapon's reach to always stay outside the range of her opponent's weapon, but just inside the range of her own. This requires a lot of movement, constantly backing and circling to keep in the 'sweet spot'. This is a good (and challenging!) glass cannon build. As it is not always possible to keep an enemy at bay, especially when you are getting the hang of the playstyle, block is good to defend yourself, bash, and counter.

Supplement with the ranged option of your choice, destruction or archery. Stealth is handy too, as two-handed weapons do x2 damage on a sneak attack. However, the extra damage perks for sneak attacks do not work with two-handers, so this is probably not one to rely too heavily upon either.

Optional: Go with no armor at all and use Mage Armor spells and perks.
