So Witcher 3 was announced rather recently and my socks blew off due to my excitement. As a result, I decided to reinstall Skyrim to get into the open world atmosphere a bit and revisit my Witcher inspired Khajiit. In my effort to subside my hype and calm my nerves down, I was thinking, hey! Surely the good people of the Witcher community has some of their own awesome stories and characters to share from TES? Thus, we've come to this point. Share your characters, feel free to tell a short story or explain his background and also include pictures!
I guess since I started this semi-stupid thread, I'll go first!
Meet Maefuun the Merry, The Wayfaring Vagabond! I've invested about 200 hours into this one character. Pretty crazysauce I know!
There are no classes in Skyrim but I made up my own ^^ He's a humble wanderer from Elsweyr, on a quest for answers and knowledge. He left his peaceful dojo where he was mastering the art of meditation, stealth, subterfuge, bow and sword, when he was forced to kill his sensei who was slowly but surely turning the school into a killing clan for unethical warlords and the Aldmeri Dominion. Now he's on the run from his home, hiding from both the new masters of his dojo and also his fellow classmates who think he did it out of spite and jealousy.
He found out while on his travels that his memories of his past life before coming to the dojo had been fabricated. He stumbled across, while on the deserts of the Khajiit nation, the same genie who created an artificial memory for him. The genie told Maefuun that he'd come to the spectre and asked for a wish: that his memory of his true life be erased, and that he could start a new life honing his skills as a warrior to ensure that he would never experience what he'd seen, again. In order to live a peaceful and happy life, he settled in a quiet dojo where he spent his time learning and, for once, living.
Maefuun, struck with a sudden urge of curiosity and insight, thought that he could perhaps find the answer to how to solve his current predicament in his true past. He was done running and hiding, he was going to solve this, one way or another. The genie directed Maefuun to Skyrim, where he would find an Elder Scroll, the only tool that had the power to restore someone's memory. With the knowledge of his past back to him, he could finally return to Elsweyr and confront his fellow students. And hopefully, he could convince them of the truth and gain his former friends as allies against the Aldmeri Dominion and the ruthless, elusive bandit generals that's been contracting the dojo to perform assassinations that rival even the Dark Brotherhood!
Pictures time!
Here he is, The Wayfaring Vagabond in all his glory!
Maefuun is trying to solve the most enigmatic riddle of all time: Women

Aaaaand finally here's me cleaning Paarthurnax. You'll be surprised how much dust you can find in between dragon scales!
I can't really immerse myself in to a skyrim charather and story.It can immerse you in its world,lore,creatures and cobmat but I felt no connection with my PC nor with any charather unfortunatly,I agree with what CDPR said in their last interview,Skyrim had no memorable charathers.
It's still an awesome game tough,it does its thing,it isn't meant to be a story driven experience,it was meant to be a cool exploration adventure full of epic moments and really felling in touch with the world and really enjoying the combat,viusals and the atnoshpere of Skyrim's beutifull land and fun quests.
Oh, I guess I should also do backstory: Lilywyn is a high-elf with amnesia, she doesn't remember anything beyond being captured before crossing the border, she just remembers that there was something calling out to her. Personality wise, she's straightforward, and doesn't like pussyfooting around. She was conflicted about fighting her own kind in the war in Skyrim, but ultimately she realized that she didn't want to subscribe to their nihilistic philosophy. Following the events in Sovengarde, she remembered why she was trying to cross the border: she wanted to go to Solstheim because there's an entity there which called out to her. Now, a new adventure awaits this high-elf Dovahkiin.
Ariana is a very pleasant lady, she even married commander Ondolemar and now he cooks for her every night. I'm afraid the marriage murdered his spirit and he's no longer good for anything else.
Hello! This is Skeeter! I have looked high and low for other images, must be on other hard drive. Anyway, here he he prior to trying to flee the border impersonating imperial soldiers. Curse those tails. Skeeter is no Dragonborn. Nor his his pal Gannicus, Redguard who was present at the time of Skeeters attempted execution. Gannicus's would later adapt a daughter Laura, who he rescued from a a ravaged city. Thanks to the Creation Kit, my characters can pal around and interact in the world !
P.S. When I went to buy Skyrim in Fed 2012, I saw and interesting looking game with an angry white haired fellow on the cover. I gave it a quick glance. Witcher 2? I remembered seeing the first one when I bought Oblivion. Nah, I thought. What the hell is a Witcher anyway?

I used to play Skyrim on my Xbox360, but this winter I bought it for the PC (including all the DLC!).
Man, gotta love the modding community for Skyrim! Tons of mods to turn this rather good game into an AWESOME GAME!
There are plenty of disturbing mods as well, more than I would like. But I just skip those of course!
Anyway, I haven't had much time to play Skyrim on the PC, so my character is not really worth showing right now.
I play a male Breton with black long hair and a goatee. His name is Damian Blackraven. He's a vampire assassin who is currently unemployed, but that will change soon when he joins the Dark Brotherhood.
How I'm gonna build him? Well, obviously I'm gonna put a lot in Sneak. But to make this character unique, I'm going to invest a lot in Illusion magic as well! He's going to be an assassin who relies on Illusion magic.
Skyrim, in MY OPINION, is VEEERY generic.
You have an awesome world but you have a very weak history with no good characters. ›››
How is the history weak? It's pretty rich actually.
I agree that the presentation and most of the characters in Skyrim are generic and boring though, but the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood are nice! I like the College of Winterhold too.
In fact, I think most guild quest-lines are pretty epic. The main storyline is boring though. I bothered with the main quest-line only once, with my first character. After that, I never bothered with it ever again. All my other characters heven't gone to High Hrothgar, and it's very unlikely they ever will go there.

The game is pretty generic, I call it Sims with Dragons because that's how I play. One can never have enough mods! *_*
But I'll have to disagree on the 'weak history' part, the TES lore is VERY rich and it's one thing that keeps me playing. I'm sad they didn't do the world justice in Skyrim... your actions don't matter, people feel like cardboard cut-outs. It's a shame.
There are a few good quests, though, especially the Daedric storylines and Toying With the Dead side-quest. That last one sent chills down my spine, it's incredibly good and creepy if you take your time to read the journals as you progress through the cave.
So many great things about skyrim but the combat is terrible and Bethesda put no though into it so I can't feel a connection with the game, so no character from me sorry
Careful, don't get carried away. A LOT of time, effort and pain went into making that game. The game is loaded with adventure.
And hilarious bugs such as this flying troll.

There is difference between story and lore. For example lore of Warhammer world is really great, one of the best, but so far none of the Warhammer games had really interesting story.
If you see a grammar mistake in my post, then I don't mind if you send me a notice about it via PM. I always want to improve my English grammar.

I do agree with Dona. I play Skyrim like a first person Sims with more exploration and combat. Especially now that you can build your own house and stuff. I mostly play it to relax.

My character don't remember how I called him don't know what level cause I broke the interface. Likes snow and cold wears armor and wields all kinds of weapons and magic. Would like to join Thalmor but the game doesn't allow it doen't care about the fate of Skyrim and the dragon crisis
Tried to edit lighting a bit to make a better image, otherwise it would be too red

Main menu fonts are broken by some mod that I can't really understand whats written there. As for level I tried to remove it from loading screens and now I don't see it anywhere at all and I don't care

I have waited many years for the Incline to begin. False prophets I have followed and obscure lore perused, but always there has been nought but the bitter taste of disappointment at the end of my travails. Still I do not give up, I do not falter with weariness. Even if it should never come to pass I will still believe and search, for the Incline is beautiful and it SHOULD exist.
