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).

Home sweet home


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).

Morghak after a kill


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.

@SubRosa,
Cheers! I was quite happy with that experiment. Obviously, given engine differences, and the fact I was trying to recreate one of Westly's lovely Morrowind head replacers, I didn't get it exactly. The shape of her eyes and mouth are a bit different, and that was the best I could do with the nose, but it definitely went better than on previous occasions where I've tried to achieve the same with characters.

@Lopov,
Thank you! I do typically try to make my characters reasonably attractive, but not over the top... So I avoid a lot of makeup, or extremely modern hairstyles, install realistic body proportions, and give them outfits that aren't overly revealing. Just personal aesthetic preference, really. smile.gif
lol! Well, partly, I felt the sea sickness worked well with her personality, and partly, it was an explanation for the fact that suddenly this seasoned heroine of Vvardenfell was almost as defenceless as a newborn. biggrin.gif

@Renee,
I have really found that making some effort to roleplay Bethesda games is very rewarding, and definitely helps. I'll admit, my preference, historically, is more toward Bioware/Obsidian/Larian style RPGs, which tend to focus heavily on narrative. However, I've always enjoyed Bethesda's change of pace in that regard. In short, I play games like Dragon Age when I want to be told a story, and I play Bethesda games when I want to tell a story. So, roleplaying and having a backstory when I play the Elderscrolls has become really important for me, and I find a thread that pulls those characters together in some way works well. Similarly, my Skyrim character has a connection to Mirelle (though she doesn't know that yet).
Anyway... sorry for the ramble.... biggrin.gif

The Princess Stomper page is just a link describing the quest and companion mod, "The Dance of the Three-Legged Guar." Mirelle married, Arnand, one of the characters in it.
