New Toon!, share your development character ideas Options

[Renee]

I think there is a thread somewhere around here about our Oblivion characters once they are already extant. The New Toon thread, however, is going to be about developing a character, or 'toon', as it were. I usually keep the process of developing new ones to myself. I might ask others what this new one's name should be, or something basic like this, but I want this thread to be more interactive.

I'm developing a Druid idea. Going to be a 'he'. I have a very vague idea of making a Breton male druid who lives almost entirely outside of civilization. I know nothing of the druids though. I know nothing of their history, other than the stereotype in DnD, in which they remain close to nature. My new toon will stick to this stereotype. He will be somewhat like glargg's Wild Elf character, methinks.

I want to explore the possibility of all those cool weapons found in other games (like quarterstaffs and pole weapons, perhaps, maybe even blowguns and slingshots! ) for my druid guy. I know there's gotta be some mods out there like this. I've already got some sort of spear mod in my games, but the only way to access it is to visit the basement of the Skingrad FG. My druid aint going that far.

That's as far as I've gotten. I never could make a druid in the vanilla game, because it doesn't support the sort of nature scene I've been visualizing in my head for years. The only peaceful creatures are deer and butterflies. So on PC, the doors have opened. MMM adds tons of peaceful (and not-so-peaceful) creatures. Witchcraft makes a lot of hostile creatures (like wolves) into passive animal acquaintances. That sort of thing.

I am going to do some reading on druids this weekend, no doubt. This should be fun!

You come up with the best names, Renee! I'm still waiting to hear more from Skankee Crack-Ho (sic).

Skankee Krahk-ho died actually. She was a character I had back in 2012 or 2013, and she had a habit of doing some really risky things, so she didn't last long.

She lived in Embershard Mine, and finished absolutely zero quests, outside of Unbound and joining the Mage's College. She did a bandit contract for the jarl of Whiterun, for instance, but never bothered to collect her pay! .. When Hearthfire came out, she somehow got a notice from the Jarl of Falkreath from that courier guy. She read it, and tossed the flier on the ground! .. This was REALLY hard for me because I was really psyched for HF, but Skank could have cared less.

She also had some very sick habits. She *ahemed* with dead people, for instance.

Too bad she never met Persephone...
