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.

Name: Anita Greatsword

Creation Date: November 17, 2019, 8:42 AM

Biography: Anita comes from Winterhold. Her family is somewhat wealthy, and for her 25th birthday they sponsored her on some sort of travel. She and her mate could go to any province she'd like, she was told. The Greatsword family chartered a galleon for her to travel upon, but this ship got wrecked somewhere on the coast of Vvardenfell. It is here Anita begins her game.

But her true backstory is: upon re-arrival back in Skyrim, it was time to Anita to settle down, return to Winterhold, and start having babies. But she's just not ready yet. She wants to see the world. She wants to forge some kind of destiny.

Race: Nord

Gender: Female

Age: 25

Sign:

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Home Country: Skyrim (Winterhold)

Faction, Guild, and/or Rank: Fighters Guild viking.gif

Spouse: She has one in her backstory, who started to come with her on her journey. It seems this fellow either abandoned Anita, or got killed. Since she is not especially sad so far, I am thinking he ditched her. sad.gif '

Employment:

Class: Templar

Alliance Rank:

Tabletop Skills: Literacy, Shield, Swimming, Sword

Tabletop Spells: Heal Self

Physical Appearance: Here I am!

Body Type: Tall and sturdy

I have details of my ESO characters here on my own site. Most of them are carried over from the single-player games, so their back-stories are long established elsewhere.

The "new" ones are Bo, and Laurie.

Since archery is a completely different thing in ESO than it was in the earlier games, being more of an AoE skill for close quarters, rather than the sneaky long-range single-target one from SKyrim and Oblivion, my archer is a new character. So she's called Bo, because bow.

Laurie Craft was supposed to be just a crafter, but she tanks, and the game allows that. The tanky build was good for gathering materials, where she'd get attacked while her back was turned, and she's developed into the full build.

They all wear a costume or outfit, so their appearance has no relation to their equipment choices. That's one feature of ESO that I particularly like. I forget what they look like in their armour.

Okay, I'll play this one:

Most of you are familiar with Julian's backstory from her fan fiction Old Habits Die Hard. So even though she's the first toon I created in ESO, Maz is actually my first ESO toon . . .

Name: Mazul gra Duroch

Creation Date: 6 Heartfire, (2016)

Biography: Mazul was born in a traditional, conservative Orc clan, the daughter of a forge wife. She was trained to fill her mother's role as forge wife for another Orc Chieftain, but as she hit her teens, she began to develop her own ideas. After a brief dispute with her mother and her Clan, Mazul chose to leave, risking exile and breaking with Clan traditions. After building up her combat skills, Maz began hiring on as caravan guard, learning recon skills and picking up a few magicka tricks. She was content with her life until she was kidnapped by cultists and had her soul stolen by none other than Mannimarco. Now she wanders the three Alliances, soulless, lending her skills wherever a strong arm and a stout heart is needed.

Race: Orc

Gender: Female

Age: 43

Sign: The Lady (birth sign); The Thief (build sign)

Home Country: Wrothgar

Spouse: none; Maz is firmly in the bachelorette camp as she has not yet met another she'd like as a partner

Faction, Guild, and/or Rank:

Employment: Freelance mercenary, specializes in caravan protection; currently living the paladin lifestyle

Class: Dragonknight

Class Description: Primarily DPS

Alliance Rank:

Skills and talents:

Physical Appearance:

Eyes:

Weapons of preference: Zweihander, currently carrying a bow on her backbar, though she has used a restoration staff in the past

Armor / Clothing of preference: Medium armor

Magic abilities or powers:

Miscellaneous: She is cranky by nature, and rather like a bully in her mannerisms, but once you get past that gruff exterior she is kind hearted and is quick to help those in need

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).

Hi all,

I'd like to introduce you to Sa'cheena of Dawnmead, she's a Khajiit as you can see; a tracker and a scout.
More details to follow soon - (I do like a good biography but I'm still figuring out the details)...
