I'd be a Jarl, probably of Falkreath due to the beautiful scenery. They don't have the responsibility of a King/Emperor, but at the same time they live like one.
 
Theoretically of course, I'd be a Bosmer. I'd probably live in Riverwood and hunt to make a living, maybe even adventure out around Tamriel doing odd jobs and such for extra coin. I would join the Thieves Guild solely for access to the fences, and I would have a pre-occupation with magic so if I got enough coin up, I would move to Winterhold and join the College. When my adventuring and hunting days were over I would atleast consider marrying and having kids, not sure though, I may just adventure around until I can't anymore and go out fighting. :/ My kids would be either Bosmer or Bosmer and Nord mixed if that's possible. I think that covers it.

I don't know what I would do....maybe join the companions?
Then again, I think I would rather live in windhelm.

I'd be a Court Wizard for Chorrol, making trips into the forests and vast hills of the Colovian Highlands.

Until we Colovians take it back. :mad: :ashstab:

The missing snow elf
I'd be a Bosmer who ran away from Valenwood during one of the purges. I'd join the college of Winterhold but would probably not stay for long as the snowy tundra is just too barren for my Bosmer blood. I think I would end up in Ivarstead keeping busy killing those bears for Temba Wide-Arm. I'd probably end up married to Gwilin because of the lack of selection but also because he's happy and seems like a sweet man to end up with.

So a pretty mundane life for me :p

Or we can live together and build a shrine to Shor for both our people!

Aye, as the farmer in Falkreath mentions. "This war isn't needed. Imperials like my wife can be hard to handle but we Nords could work with them. I should know."

Hmm... I think I'd start out as a Wood Elf or High Elf and just be your average hunter and fisherman, living in Whiterun or Falkreath.

Then, I'd make my way into the DB and become a vampire through Babette. Then eventually retire from the dangerous and sinful lifestyle and marry and perhaps adopt one child, building a nice home in the southern part of Skyrim where the weather is fantastic. I would open up a barn by my house and breed and train horses while my husband worked the business part of selling our horses and breeding our stallion.

I would turn my husband into a vamp so we could spend eternity together (yeah I know, corny). As my child grew up, I would offer him the gift of vampirism and give it to him only if he wanted.

My husband and I would do as we please and live life to the actual fullest and become the notorious vamp couple that lived through Skyrim for eternity, that rode black horses in the night that were faster than anything known to humankind because through all the breeding of horses for centuries I found the secret gene that makes horses like Shadowmere, but even more superior because we found a way to transfer our vampirism to our horses, making them immortal and immune to exhaustion.

Yeah, I'm really reaching, but that's what I would strive for!

I thought about this a bit too much. So here I go...

I want to base this kind of off my own heritage, as well as personality, and translate all of that into this. So, because I am exactly 1/4 Native American (Iroquois) that would mean that my character would be too (Bosmer in my eyes). So, I would likely be a Nord who's father's side is all Nord, But who's mother's side is partially Bosmer (grandmother was 100% Bosmer).

I would be born and raised in a predominantly Nordic Society, likely Windhelm or somewhere in the Winter-Hold. And taught the traditional conservative beliefs that they have. However, with my mother and I sharing partial Mer Blood, I would yearn for more race equality in Nordic Traditions. This would likely push me away from that part of the province.

From there, I would apprentice for every craftsman, Forge-master, Hunter, Alchemist, and Enchanter that I could to hone my ultimate interest of being a creator. On the side, I would likely practice combat in hand to hand, two-handed swords, and archery.

After learning the most that I can from the masters in Skyrim, I would likely travel Tamriel to apprentice with other well known creators. Such as Orsimer Blacksmiths in the Wrothgarian Mountains of High Rock, or the Hunters and Alchemists of Valenwood.

Then, I would settle for a while. Likely in a secluded cave in the Wrothgarian Mountains, so that I could develop and personalize my trade in crafting. Likely specifying in that of weapons making and hunting.

Then, towards the middle age of my time, I would return home, and open a shop west of Falkreath, just before The Reach. I would seek out comfort with a beautiful woman. But we would not conceive, we would adopt. A little girl first, likely named Ashetari. Then a little boy, likely named Connor. (Race does not matter, we would love both like our own.) I would raise them out of our Home/Shop, and pass my learnings onto them.

When they came of age, I would allow them to go their own ways, giving them directions to my cave in The Wrothgarian Mountains, and even the keys to my shop.

Then, when my time would come, I would like to have a traditional viking style send off into the afterlife.

I will not tolerate failure...
Are you asking who you would be or who you would want to be? if it were the latter I would probably be a God of somekind wielding power beyond comprehension but if it is the former then who would I actually be? that is a difficult one but seeing as I am fully aware of said world and where all inhabitants and knowing full well how dangerous it would be, the first thing I would probably attempt is to gain as much power as possible very quickly and how do I do that? well a daughter of Coldharbour does rest in dimhollow crypt and her kind are very powerful indeed.

To be honest, I got no clue. Can't really picture myself in any faction or the like 100%. Although I guess the dark attitude I restrain these days would have developed perfectly in Tamriel. Guess I could be anything ranging from one of those half naked Reachmen chicks ganging up on travellers and killing them in the most creative ways to a nasty Thalmor who can't get enough from trolling Imperial royalty and killing people as midnight job a la Elenwen.

I have thought long about my race, I have decided I would be a cross between an Altmer and Dunmer.
I would probably act and look like a shorter then normal Altmer with darker than normal skin and hair...
Who I would actually be and what I would do though, I don't really know... There are a lot of things I could end up as. But most likely is that I would train and be fascinated in magic, probably lightning Destruction magic and Illusion.

I'm not 100% sure where I would live, I would probably be a wanderer actually, and just explore.
I doubt I would join a guild, possibly the Mages guild but I don't know. If I did live somewhere and didn't just wander I would probably just live in some small hut that I made somewhere. I don't think I would have a job, I would probably just try to survive on my own, hunt my own food and all that.

Who knows if I would get married, I probably wouldn't bother looking for someone. I would be wary and cautious around people, like I am in real life. No reason for it really, i'm just not very sociable, and I don't expect I would be in Tamriel either. In Tamriel though I don't think I would have kids. If I did it would probably only be one.

I would be a Nord Samurai travelling all over the Elder Scrolls world spreading the teachings of Honor and virtue I would fight side by side anyone who needs it not caring of their alliances or backstories I would believe EVERYONE has a second chance to prove themselves honorable and kind hearted I would smith my own swords and armor and also be a great archer
 

Dr.Madness

Overlord of the Void
CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!!!

Essentially I would be the mortal incarnation of Sheogorath, who lost his immortality over a bet with Sanguine. Thit was whether Sheo or Sanguine could out drink the other. If Sheo should triumph, he would get a staff. If Sanguine won, he shall obtain domain of the Shivering Isles; as well as Sheogorath's spot on the Throne of Madness. Needless to say Sheogorath lost. Sheo entered "the zone" (other wise known as the Fish Stick) as he complained the security in Whiterun as he devoured a plate of sweetrolls. He wandered Tamriel as a traveling cheese merchant until he met his end after a bad run in with the Companions (he complained about how he despised dogs).

Realistically, if you plucked ME off of Earth and plopped me in Tamriel, I would be a Nord (closest to my actual lineage) and I'd pick a town and hide in or near it. Falkreath is most physically similar to my real-world home, so probably there. I'm married with two sons, so they would just have to come with me. We'd arm ourselves with weapons for defense and I'd go learn some restoration magic, just in case.

Well... I'd like to think that I'd exist very much as my Nord Malkjar exists. Crushing his enemies, seeing them driven before him, hearing the lamentations of the women... Amassing a horde of gold, building large halls, wearing Dragon Plate armor with the Helm of Yngol, marrying a beautiful miner named Sylgja, having a couple kids, (with no need for adoption), saving the world...

Being realistic though, I'd more likely be that guy in the iron armor, sitting by the fire pit in the Bannered Mare, clutching his tankard, swaying drunkedly to the music. :beermug: You know the one. In an alternate universe, that's me.
