Character Biographies Options

[Renee]

Hello folks! It is early Sunday morning I want to start a thread similar to what appear in other games on this site. This one focuses on a character's storyline, stats, whatever you'd like to add. I see there is a Character Builds thread but that's a little different. This one shall focus more on story / backstory, which will help me especially learn all the various people / elves / beastfolk.

There is a template outlined below (thanks Lycanthropic Legend) which is optional, of course.

I have not fleshed out all of Cincy's story, but I have thought about it a little more recently. Also, not sure how much our in-game characters differ from our biographical characters, if at all. Possible gameplay and story dissonance and all that.



Name: Cincinnatus of Lilmoth

Creation Date: Can't remember exactly for several reasons. Got the game for PS4 initially but didn't get very far. I much prefer TES games to be on PC (most games in general, really), but my computer at the time probably couldn't run it. Got a gaming-oriented laptop in January 2017 and bought it for that, and it is a much better gaming experience for me. But I believe it was January or February 2017 when I created Cincy.

Biography: As his name indicates, Cincy was born in Lilmoth, Black Marsh. However, his parents moved away to Cyrodiil when he was young, so his memories of the marsh from childhood are hazy. The reasons for the move are unknown as of yet (Cincy would know, but I haven't worked that out entirely yet), but his parents were very fascinated with Imperial culture (Lilmoth historically also has had more Imperial influence than the other cities of Black Marsh). Sometime when he was there, he took the name "Cincinnatus," but his birth name is different (something that I also have not worked out yet). He would join the Imperial Legion and serve for several years. Why he left is--yep, you guessed it--not fleshed out yet. But I do know that that was a particularly formative period for him.

And that is all I can think of for now.

Race: Argonian

Gender: Male

Age: 35

Sign: In-game, it is The Steed. Biographically, not sure yet.

Home Country: Lilmoth, Black Marsh

Spouse: Hopefully Naryu Virian someday

Faction, Guild, and/or Rank: The Ebonheart Pact, the Fighters Guild, the Mages Guild, the Undaunted, and the Psijic Order

Employment: Adventurer, mercenary (depending on the job), and--to a lesser extent--a crafter

Class: Dragonknight

Class Description: Can channel the fiery powers of the dragon in his fight against the bad guys (don't remember the game's actual description)

Alliance Rank: Currently Veteran Grade 2

Skills and talents: In-game, he is proficient at a lot. Biographically, not sure yet. But he has always had a great hunger for being good at a lot of things

Physical Appearance: I wanted to make Cincy a reasonable build. Certainly didn't want someone scrawny, but being absurdly ripped also didn't fit him. Therefore, I made him somewhere in the middle, more to the fit side. He is a very lean, solid build with little body fat, but his muscles are not rippling or bulging. And he knows how to use his strength well.

Eyes: Don't remember

Weapons of preference: All else equal, Rubedite Axe of Shock and Axe of Trinimac's Valor (dual wield). Dual-wielding is the most fun overall.

When he goes two-handed, its Ashenblade. Ruby Ash Restoration Staff of Shock and Ruby Ash Lightning Staff of Shock for restoration and destruction staves, respectively. For sword-and-shield, he uses the aforementioned Rubedite Axe of Shock and the Shield of Soulshine (Ruby Ash).

Armor / Clothing of preference: Heavy Armor all the way, but outfit-wise he has The Scarlet Judge attire that has been dyed different colors than its original iteration. Now it is Red Diamond Red, Coldharbour Ash Black, and Ransacker Blue (I'm a sucker for a bright red and black combination in real life, although I wish I could have a bit of a brighter red than what is available to me in-game).

Magic abilities or powers: A lot of things

Miscellaneous: This is obviously far out of Cincy's purview, but among his descendants will be the Eternal Champion (Arena), the Agent (Daggerfall), the Nerevarine (Morrowind), the Champion of Cyrodiil (Oblivion), and the Last Dragonborn (Skyrim).
