This topic has more than likely already been addressed in detail here on The Escapist but... I certainly didn't see it, so I shall take the initiative. >=D And It's a fun topic so why not haha!
Of course, assuming you'll be purchasing The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, please tell us all; what and more importantly, who will your Dragonborn be?
(assuming you've been thinking ahead, as I have. =p)
So what do you all have in mind?
Race?
Name?
Age?
Sex?
Ideal facial details? (a beard maybe or some scars? be creative! ^^)
Skill Specialty and Combat Style?
Star Sign/Birth Sign?
Allegiance / Guilds or Groups?
Other personal roleplay information?
In my case:
Louise, age 25, is an Elemental Trap Mage and Archer; specializing in ranged attacks for long range combat and resorting to set traps for her opponents when they attack up close after her initial volley of arrows. With medium length, very light blonde hair (almost white), steel blue grey eyes and being at one with the extreme cold of the land, she's a natural huntess of the mountains. As she's closely affiliated with frost magic and possesses a growing passion for the bow, she's both a member of the Mages, and Warrior's Guild.
She's an Imperial, born under the Star Sign of The Lord which, if it's the same attributes as Oblivion, grants a Healing Spell and a permanent weakness to fire magic (further supporting her affluence to the element of frost and cold.) As she's almost immune to the cold of the land, she wears no armor at all, only light clothing. She prefers this as it allows for freedom of movement as she sprints over the mountain tops, bow in hand and an athletic spring in her step.
In addition to her fighting style, she's supported by her lasting education as a child. She was taught by her Druidic father about both the wonders of Restoration Magic and to appreciate the strange complexity of Skyrim's flora - turning her into an adept Alchemist, unlocking the healing and harm properties of the plant life for her to harness.. She uses this Restoration Magic to both protect herself from harm by creating magical barriers from the blade and arcane elements, and by healing wounds she sustains from combat; using both herbal and magical remedies. Her magical shields and barriers also shield her from her own Trap Spells when they are cast in close proximity.
Her father is an Imperial man, her mother a Nord who was sadly taken early after Louise?s birth due to heavy Skooma experimentation with Louise?s father. Her mother?s death devastated her father, who then dedicated his life to Druidic balance and harmony, teaching his daughter to be both strong to corrupting influence and giving her a strong sense of moral right and wrong.) Her unusual immunity to cold temperatures and resistance to frost magic is thought by her and her Father to be her mother?s Nord blood flowing through her veins.
Now, I'd love to hear your ideas too. =) So tell me, who will you be in the land of Skyrim?
