Describe The Very First Character......., Who have you decided will be the first? Options

[Taillus]

This is for all of those that have decided what character they are going to have set foot in the new Elderscrolls: Oblivion game first. Tell us all about him/her. Don't bother about what skills and such. Give a background, give us his/her name, age, sex, race, background and if you have enough room, let us in on what the first thing will be on your list of things to do when you get out of that god forsaken dungeon!

My character that I plan on using the most and therefore the one that will probably set foot in Oblivion itself first will be Xander.

Name: Xander Moorcroft.
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Race: Imperial
Hair/Eyes: Brown/Brown
Class: (Custom-Battle Mage)

In reading my story on the Fanfic section you will find out the details of how he makes his transition to the Oblivion game but he basically stops an evil man from killing most of life on Morrowind by opening a gate to Oblivion. Xander tries to stops him but he is cast into the realm of Oblivion himself. Before the gate closes he recites a spell that causes both men to trade bodies, trapping the evil one in Xander's body and also in Oblivion (I know that this spell is not possible in Elder Scrolls) He is procecuted as the evil man, known in my story as Taillus and is sent to prison in Cyrodil.

For all of those interested, send some backgrounds of your character, for those who are not into role playing then just pass this one by.

First of all, I am new to these forums, and second, hi.

I have had a few ideas, and tested them on the excellent OblivionCC, and these are probably my favourites:

Race:Dunmer
Gender:Female
Birthsign:The Theif
Attributes:Willpower, Personality
Specialization:Stealth
Skills:Alteration, Speechcraft, Sneak, Marksman, Acrobatics, Light Armor, Blade.

Almost certainly intended to be an assassin/theif (they have almost always seemed to be the same to me), I will probably train mercantile, mysticism, and destruction on the side. The aim is not to use too much magicka at one time, with alteration replacing security to give the character more flexibility, destruction for the odd rat that comes my way, and mysticism for a soultrap and to test telekenisis.


Gender: Male
Race: Altmer
Birthsign: The Atronach
Specialization: Magic
Attributes: Willpower, Strength
Major Skills: Mysticism, Conjuration, Destruction, Alteration,
Blunt, Block, Heavy Armor

This character is the largest tank I could come up with which wasn't an orc/redguard/nord pure warrior. The aim is to train alchemy on the side to give the character some healing abilities (I despise Restoration). I have only one problem at the moment, which may turn out fine if I chuck in the odd peice of light armor and jump everywhere: a lack of speed. From what I have gathered, speed now has an effect on damage in some way (I read something about damage over time somewhere), and I think it could be quite frustrating. The aim here would be to chuck an atronach at the target, then a burden (Mysticism or Alteration I hope) to lower fatigue. Then just give 'em few blows of the new daedric warhammer type weapon.
Any ideas about whether I should take block out for athletics, or even illusion/speechcraft/armorer?


I have what I see as an excellent orc warrior + alteration and restoration in the bag, but that type of class I played too often on Morrowind. And I can't bring myself to be a pure mage... just too dull.......
