Post Your Character Options

[SubRosa]

I am sure it has been done before, but I did not see one of these threads in the list of recent ones. Post a pic or two of the character(s) you are currently playing or have played, and tell us a bit about them if you like to roleplay a bit.

To start it off here is my current character Lilith, whom I am currently doing the Dark Brotherhood questline with. She is a Nibenean (a custom race I made) archer/macewoman. She is the daughter of Claudius Arcadia. Raped and left for dead by Rufio, she is back for vengeance not only upon him, but the entire world. The only time she feels any control over her existence is when she kills, and she is becoming a control freak (sorry, I just watched a couple of Dennis Miller specials, and now my wit is feeling like handful of razorblades at a Freddy Kruger convention).

My previous character was Morghak gra-Durug, and Orc Crusader. She is the daughter of a noblewoman from Orsinium, and grew up in the shadow of her old sister, who always seemed to better at everything. Sick of being second fiddle, she left home and traveled to Cyrodiil to prove her worth. She did it by becoming champion of the Arena, taking the name The Iron Maiden (hey, I love the band, so I could not resist).

The character before that was Ophelia (yes Hamlet and all), a Breton battlemage. Ophelia was a Mythic Dawn sleeper agent living in Bravil. Young, restless, wanting to do something meaningful with her life and feeling stifled and frustrated with a merely ordinary existence, she was a ready convert to the MD's message that the Nine Divines were usurpers who overthrew Lorkhan and have repressed humanity for the last umpteen thousand years. She was ready to save the world and lay down her life for the cause. Only unfortunately for her the Oblivion Crisis came and went without her ever receiving any orders. Left adrift in the aftermath, with no one even caring enough to hunt her down, she went from one Daedric shrine to another seeking to recapture the meaning of her life once more. Finally, after a rain of cheese in Niben Bay (thank you Jacki!), she found the Shivering Isles, and realized that this was what she was meant for. In time she became the Champion of Madness, Duchess of Mania, and finally the new and sexier Sheogorath.

Alright, here is a more detailed account of Mirelle, my current Oblivion character, who, in fact, is a recreation of my Morrowind character, so, in my head, she's continuing her adventures in Cyrodiil.

To start, I'll just copy here the bit I wrote in another post.

"Mirelle rose to the rank of Telvanni Arch Magister... and she danced a very careful, balanced dance, since she was opposed to the less savoury aspects of her chosen Great House. She also became head of the Thieve's Guild and went on to lead the Temple; even though she wasn't sure either were a good fit, she did so because it seemed sound political strategy. Similarly... after becoming Nerevarine, she maintained close ties with the Blades, which has bearing upon her reasons for being in Cyrodiil. "

At the moment, Mirelle is especially skilled at Alchemy and Conjuration, while improving her abilities in Armourer. Although she has little use for the latter, personally, she finds it more economical to repair her companions' armour, rather than having to pay for it. She is also quite personable and lucky (well.. maybe).
However, she still has a very long way to go.. for owing to her rash, impetuous nature... she is very far from the able person that she had become on Vvardenfell...

Although Arch Magister of the normally isolationist House Telvanni, she is a shrewd tactician, and felt it advantageous to maintain carefully balanced ties with the Empire. To that end, she also remained in close contact with the Blades... Thus, when necromancy troubles in the Cyrodiil mage's guild arose, and rumours of strange new cults, as well as a plan to assassinate the emperor were uncovered by the Blades, they "requested" that Mirelle aid them. Though loathe to leave the land that had become her home, Mirelle's (in retrospect, overly hasty) marriage to a certain Arnand was rather shaky, and both felt that perhaps some time apart would help... (ahem)

Mirelle, however... although highly intelligent, is not exactly wise, and when it comes to more personal, or mundane, matters, she tends not to think things through. Therefore, having entirely forgotten how miserable she had been during her initial sea voyage to Vvardenfell, she decided that some sea air would be the perfect way to start clearing her head, and travelled by ship to Bravil, rather than making the journey overland. Although she could have travelled directly to the Imperial City, she reasoned that the less direct route would allow her to slip into the culture without notice. Of course.... extreme sea sickness commenced nearly the moment the ship left Vvardenfell, and she spent most of her time moaning in her bunk (NOT in a good way !), or with her head in a bucket. Greatly weakened, by the time she reached Bravil.. Mirelle needed to recuperate in the Mage's Guild before pressing on. It was here that she learned Emperor Uriel Septim VII had been assassinated...
In a quandary as to the best way to proceed, in addition to being extremely weak, Mirelle decided the best course of action would be to travel to the Imperial City, where hopefully, she would meet some travelling companions... which she did....
Remember I said Mirelle is not the wisest... ?

For Character mods, I'm using
Enhanced Genetics Overhaul, and Mirelle's hair is actually a wig from the Apachii Goddess Store.
