Hey guys im brand new here so go easy on me lol. So im typing out a backstory for a new dunmer character and hes from summerset isle but he was offed a job high paying job from some nords so im thinking if the job is a lie and there takeing him to skyrim to be a slave or if the job is legit. And how this will change his personalty (btw so far hes a loner) if its a lie he wont trust anyone and if its legit he will just stay as a loner. So any help on what one i should choose will be appreciated! Thanks again! Edit chose for it to be legit for backstory reasons.

Quick question, why is he from Summerset? Also, welcome to the forums!no
No real reason just wanted to mix things up by not having him come from morrowind!
Well you should think about it. If you are making a character and coming up with backstory and stuff, best to flesh out all you can about the character!
Yeah
and i also plan to make him a vampire so i should maybe think accordingly to that!Well you should think about it. If you are making a character and coming up with backstory and stuff, best to flesh out all you can about the character!
Well lots of things to think about. Family, history, likes, dislikes, fears, phobias, etc
Well the backstory i listed on the post was a short version! This is the full vesion. And btw its from is point of view because it is supposed to be his journal.
Ok so i dont remember much of my childhood but i grew up in summerset isle and
that place is horrible to dunmer because of the thalmor because there pro high elf.
Now to get on to my history
But i do remember that my familly where not
the best as they did not really spend much time with me as my dad and mom were allways
working. i Also did not have any siblings. but i do remember that all the other kids
whould tease me becouse i was smaller and weeker then they where. And it stayed that
way until i was 17 after that the teaseing stoped and it was normal for 2 years apart
from my parants working all the time. when i was 19 i got a offer for a high paying job
from some nords how ever i had to go to skyrim. The big gap is because of how i typed it in notepad.
Hm try this:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Race:
Family:
(List names, ages, and a little background on each family member)
History
Childhood, Teenager, Adult, and so forth. A little highlights on major ups and downs
Personality
Fears, likes, dislikes, phobia, scars, etc. Just come up with as much as possible to fully understand the character. Then I would do something like come up with a few quotes the character may have said. I find this helps understand how he would talk/react/etc.
Well i was thinking of naming him "the guy" like to hide his real name but i will most likely change it to a real name but who knows. Oh well i will come back ones i come up with some more back story for him!
Just asking when you said scars do you mean like mental scars or physical scars?
Either works really. Those are just some ideas to help you think of stuff.
