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.

[ThePerson98]

To tell the truth, its whatever I am in the mood for
*looks in morrowind directory and sees folders.. "Saves" "Saves1archer" "saves2mage"*
I get around to every type of character. And then one day BAM windows crashes and eats up every file, not allowing me to get games.
I remember one time when I had a level 50 character wearing full daedric, no cheating. It was on my backup hardrive so windows couldnt kill it....Backup hardrive died. Partition ate itself. And my characters were gone for good.

[jack cloudy]

Ok, let's see. I'll just come back with my Morrowind guy, yeah.
So, here we go.

Name: Luper Alkad (Oasis for friends)
Age: 25(same as in Morrowind)
Gender: male
Race: Seemingly Redguard
Hair/Eyes: Black/so brown it might as well be black
Class: Oasis (Redguard with a mixture of swordfighting, Alteration, Destruction and a bit of security.)


History: Umm, this one will be though. Ok, after whacking the big bad dude he lives happily ever after for a while, but some evil mage hits him with a youth spell. So he turns back to the age he had at the start of Morrowind, including the weak body. This also takes away any Nerevarine immortality he might have received. His skills drop like a brick cause he has to get used to his younger self. This frustrates him and he goes to wack some Dunmer who called him an N'Wah in front of the guards. So he gets send to a jail in Cyrodill with a big headache. Once out of jail, time for payback. But first he's going to visit the local pub (and probably get kicked out)

[Curly_G_]

Name: Saul
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Race: Imperial
Hair/Eyes: Longish Hair / Brown Eyes
Class: Ranger (Combat - Speed and Strength - Bow, Blades, Hand to Hand, Athletics, Alchemy, Heavy and Light Armour)

History: Exiled from a woodland cult. Soon after his arrest, the cult are slaughtered by territorial Argonians defending the Black Marsh border. So, he's now pretty much alone and wants to let out some anger. Preferably on someone's shins.

[sins_to_dark]

Name: Etanor Undereye
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Race: Dark Elf
Hair/Eyes: Black/ Red
Class: Ranger- specialised in Long Blade and Marksmanship


Etanor was trained in the skills of a ranger from childhood by the Undereye clan. One day hunting he thought he saw a prize kill and on releasing an arrow from his bow the target soon fell.
Etanor was soon to discover that it wasn't a prize buck he had killled but an official from Ebonheart who was on his way to deliver a coded letter to Balmora.

The offcials guards came running and at the sight of Etonor they seized him. He was charged for the" planned assination" of the Ebonheart official and was given life imprisonment in the town of cyrodil.

On escaping the dungeon he realises he needs money and reputation to survive in this new city. And his skills are the way to get them, he thinks about the famous arena located in this new land, and also of the dark guilds that inhabit the land. He looks up to the sky and makes his way to the arena.

[LinkBOX]

Name: LinkBOX (isnt it lovely?)
Age: i dunno, young enough to be awesome, old enough to be wise
Gender: Male
Race: Orc (For da Horde!!!!)
Hair: long and orkish
Eyes: i dunno, evil?
Class: Mean, lean otherwordly beasts summoning mahine! (Heavy armor, Axes, Blades, Conjuraction, Destruction, blocking, something that apeals to me at the moment)
History: ..... i tryed i got nothing, hell be an orc who can summon stuff to do his bidings and hold his own ground while launching spells... that sums it up

[Deathbane27]

I'm not completely decided between these two as my first...

There existed a group of vampire hunters on a plane unknown on Nirn. The group had no official name, but they were sometimes called "Clan Deathbane", after a title that had been awarded to three of its members. After the group's leader, a monk-turned-priest named Jerem Deathbane, was slain by Ash, a particularly powerful vampire-mage they were hunting, the surviving members vowed revenge against the vampire at all costs. They pursued their prey across that world. With nowhere left to run, and realizing he could not defeat all of them, Ash travelled across the planes to escape. It took several months, but the hunters were able to track Ash's destination to Cyrodiil on Nirn. They opened a gate and went through.

Ash had lain a trap for them. Immediately on arriving on Nirn, they were cursed with weakness and sluggishness. In addition, they were unable to use the form of magic that existed on this plane. The priests and mages of Nirn could not remove this curse, having no knowledge of their physiology, nor of Ash's form of magic. They would have to regain their power the hard way.

With no trace of Ash, and not having the power to face him even if they did find him, the group decided they should seperate and blend in until the time was right...

-----

Name: Markalus Aldred
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Race: Appears to be Breton
Hair/Eyes: Light Brown / Blue
Class: Wizard (Might something like Athletics instead of Alchemy or Conjuration)

Markalus could feel the magic of Nirn, but he could not yet manipulate it. He joined the Mages' Guild to train in it's use, and to search for records of other visitors from other planes. He found none. Could the Deathbanes possibly be the first to travel to Nirn? His homeworld had more than its fair share of extraplanar mages as visitors, but most of the people here scoffed at the notion. He would have to begin experimenting with travel magic.

Markalus's first attempt at a teleportation landed him in the bedchambers of a wealthy Duke's daughter. He was quickly dragged to the local prison compound and tossed into the nearest cell...

-----

Name: Marakas Alderus
Age: 29
Sex: Male
Race: Appears to be Imperial
Hair/Eyes: Dark Brown / Blue
Class: (Custom - Paladin-like)

Marakas went straight to the Fighters' Guild and began training with a ferocity that frightened his masters. He would neither regain his strength, avenge his father and his fallen leader, nor return to his homeworld by taking it slow. He scowled at his comrades' plans. Study! Prayer! Searching! Marakas would grow in power until his prey learned of him, and draw Ash to HIM. It had worked before, it would work again.

When the time was right, he joined the Arena. This was the most direct way to draw someone's attention, after all. But after nearly a year, he still hadn't found any trace that Ash was paying attention to him. Enraged at the futility of it all, Marakas went berserk and nearly killed his opponent in what was supposed to be a warm-up match. The Arena masters decided to toss him jail for a few days to cool him off...

[Sirin]

Name: Sirin
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Race: Redguard
Hair: Long black
Eyes: Green
Class: Nomad (custom- blade, unarmored, acrobatics, security, sneak, marksman, athletics)

Sirin is a sinner, simply put. Drinker, murderer, thief, you name it, he was notorious for it. On a seemingly routine assassination, he is set up by those he considered friends and imprisoned with little hope of release. When he does manage a risky escape, he finds himself in a unknown continent, Cyrodiil. While training to regain his skills, he forsakes his old ways. Killing is not foreign or outlawed to him, for it is necessary. But never for the wrong reasons. He is a self-imposed judge, defender of the weak and bane to the crooked and evil.

[Taillus]

Good stuff people love the characters so far.

[Muad'Dib]

There are some questions I want answered before I decide on my 3 characters final skills. ( I will have one warrior, one mage, and one thief).

So for my first character I will make a guy just to test out certain skills and answer my questions.

The class name will be: "Crash Test Dummy"
Character name: "Jiub"

[Nelis]

Name : Tyr

Age : Fought under the command of his father Ysgramor in the "Five Hundred Companions" Army.

Sex : Male

Race : Nord

Eyes : Blue

Class : Custom (Gladiator/Thief)


Tyr was impaled by an elven spear, as he was on his deathbed his loved ones stood around him to be there when he would breathe his final breath. But Tyr made it through the night , and the next , and within 2 days he had recoverd almost completely without even a scar on his chest. As a result he was out-cast because people thought he was a demon. Tyr believed this for a while until many years later when he met an old priest who told him of a story about an immortal race that disspeared many ages ago. Tyr was the result of breeding between this race and the ancestors of the nords many many years ago, the so called "Blood of Champions" skips 77 generations before reapearing in a single son or daughter. After roaming around Tamriel for many years Tyr lost the will to live, he was one of the first prisoners in the then "New" imperial prison of cyrodill. After so many years he was simply forgotten by everyone. (thats why the blades in the video say "hey this cell was supposed to be empty") Then one day the emperor enters his cell and Tyr feels like getting out of his cell and bashing people, which he showed a talent for as a young boy. Beware of Tyr he can die, he just refuses to stay dead, the world is a huge playground to him and mortals are his toys.

They decided to send me to the new prison in Cyodrill for the "agressive" type prisoners. Little too my suprise, everyone there was a Redguard (another case of bringing down the brutha). Then the king came and sent me free because im some profit or something. When I get out i robb a bookstore and two bars, and kill two guars with my nickel plated 45"s.

[Curly_G_]

I think Sword / Bow combos are popular in Oblivion... I think even the Devs are using Characters with them...

Hair: Once was black now, grayish
Fighting Style: Sword and Shield (Olde School!)

[1234king]

Excuse my first post, this will be my real guy that i just wrote a fan-fic about

Name: Raecon

Age: 17

Race: Redguard

Eyes: Baby Blue

Hair: Black

Fighting Style: Longsword/Bow/Shield/Maybe a little magic here and there

Backround: He moved from the city of Dragonstar, Hammerfell to Cyodril to become a legonaire.

[jack cloudy]

Knowing me, I won't go for just one character, so here's the other one. This guy will likely look as old as possible.

Aureus Lucis:
Race: Imperial
Gender: male
Skinclour: white
Eyecolour: light blue bordering on white
Hair: White
Age: 1571 (this is no typo)
Class: Wizard with a bit of Long Blade

Aureus Lucis is probably one of the oldest living beings in Tamriel. This is due to the vampire blood that flows through his veins.

Yes, he is a vampire. But unlike his less civilized and younger brothers and sisters, he comfortably lives in a castle, protected by powerful Magicka, somewhere in the black marsh. There he has his servants, his library and all the other things he needs to live. And about his servants, yes they do give some of their blood from time to time but he drinks it from a cup. Chewing on a neck is disgusting and barbaric in his opinion. Not to mention that his servants stay all heatlthy this way.

There have been a few times that he intervened in history, sometimes by manipulating time itself, and this is one of these times. But something went wrong and someone hit him with an ancient artefact that harnessed the power of the sun, one of the last things he still fears.

When he wakes up, he discovers to his horror that he is withouth his equipment, in a jail and worst of all, cured of Vampirism. If he wants to defend Tamriel, he'll have to make it back to his castle and inject himself with some of his own blood that's kept there (that blood still has the Vampirism stuff). That will make him a vampire again, complete with all the uber-powers he amassed through the ages. At least he still has some of his Vampire powers, so he can still keep up with all the younger people.

[Catmando]

Name: Catmando (as always)
Race: Dark elf (god i am always a dark elf)
Class:Mage assin type thing ( Sneak, range,dustruction, blade and mabey some illusion)
Age: 27 1/3
Look: A jolly man who loves the thrill of catching a man onfire then thrusting a dagger into his gut.
History: the rencarnation of my faverot morrowind charicter catmando. He spent most of his early life cleaning up after the aprentices and mages in the mages guild. At age 13 he was kiddnaped by a assain to sell for some schooma. where in the schooma den he lernd the art of killing people.

[mplantinga]

Name: I'll figure that out later
Race: Breton (or possibly Altmer)
Gender: Male
Birthsign: Atronach
Class: pure mage (custom, unless they have one this time)

Magic is the coolest thing ever. In Oblivion, it sounds like the devs have made a special effort to make pure mages more tenable. In most games, magic users are at a disadvantage in combat, increasing the overall challenge of the game. I'm not sure that this will be true in Oblivion, but I'm looking forward to finding out.
