Take your IRL family and friends and place you guys in Skryim, compare the towns and your own residence and figure out (to the best of your ability) where in Skyrim you would've grown up and lived. What race are you (try to pick what best describes your family) and how would your family behave? Would they support Ulfric or would they be all for the Empire? Would they and you be most similar to an NPC or perhaps combine personalities in order to recreate a person you know IRL in that universe?
I believe I would've been an Imperial or a Bosner/Wood Elf who lived in either Riverwood or another small town like it. First immigrated to Skyrim and had to get through Solitude in order to move where we felt best and lived there supporting the Empire like some do and don't in my family toward the US Government. A couple (my younger sister especially) would've turned to support Ulfric but not scream out "Skyrim belongs to the Nords". I also feel that a couple of my family members wouldn't understand the Khajit and fall for the following belief of how bad they were (some true but some not). I would go out and seek adventures much to my mother's displeasure (father would be a drunk or out in battle for either side somewhere just not in the picture) and eventually settle down and run an inn or tavern sharing stories. I would have joined the Legion and been assigned guard duty... probably in Falkreath or Rorikstead for my luck and I'd be one of the guards that say "My cousin's out fighting dragons and what do I get? Guard duty." I would be hitting on any younger ladies in the area, if it's Falkreath, probably the innkeeper or the... yeah, because it's my only option other than the much older High Elf who works by the Jarl's side or the crazy house maid... yikes...
Maybe I'd get a lucky break and go to Whiterun and I'd be attempting to hit on Ysolda, Lydia, Olfina, or Saadia? Seems about right!
Some of those bandits seem very sexy though, I'll admit, maybe go capture one or convince her to leave her ways to live with me as an honest citizen? Who knows, what say you, forum? Try not to say you're the dragonborn, if we're going by that logic then we're ALL dragonborn, try to be as part of our own lives but in the Elder Scrolls universe. If you believe you wouldn't live in Skyrim, just say where you would be instead but try to say why you would swing by or sent to for whatever reason.
