I've started working on a fanfiction now, but I'm not sure if I'll post it yet. I want to be further along and sure I'm going to finish it first. It has a working title of Family Loyalty and a brief summary will be the Main Questline, Civil War (Imperial) Questline and Dark Brotherhood Questline told from the point of view of Quintus Navale (and yes, as Quintus does in game, in this fanfiction he will spend the majority of these questlines in the White Phial and later Lakeview Manor). This is the Dovahkiin I have created for this story:
Name: Allegra Helior
Race: Imperial
Age: 24
Features & Style: Pale eyes, long tawny hair Quintus describes as the same shade as Jazbay grape leaves, and tanned skin. She always wears practical clothing and hates being without her bow and daggers.
Main Skills: Archery, Sneak & Alchemy
Personality: She has natural charm and cheerfulness so is good at making people she meets like her, but doesn't form strong friendships easily. Part of this is because she is not very good at thinking the consequences of her actions through, and part of this is because her dragon soul has bequeathed her a tendency to explosive uncontrolled wrath.
Fight or Flight: Fight. Thanks to that Dragon soul she often escalates fights to violence and fights to the death.
Factions: Hunter, and during the course of the story the Legion and the Dark Brotherhood.
Likes: Lydia, Quintus Navale, Sofie, the Argonian Dockworkers, being outdoors, hunting, archery and alchemy.
Dislikes: Being indoors or in a city for long periods, the Shatter-Shields and Rolf Stone-Fist, the Greybeards (but not Paarthurnax) the Blades, Rikke and General Tullius (she is convinced all those 'special missions' they gave her because she would be 'wasted as a regular soldier' were attempts to get her killed or captured).
Backstory: Allegra was born to a family with many members, so money and food were short. She started hunting as a way of helping out with this in her teens, upon which she discovered she really enjoyed being away from people, stalking prey and engaging in life or death battles. Eventually she stopped going home at all. She was hunting when she came across the Imperial ambush and was mistaken for a Stormcloak supporters.
In-game story: Jarl Balgruuf gave Allegra his precious niece Lydia as a Housecarl right after she was called by the Greybeards as he figured she'd spend the rest of her life there, not putting his precious niece in any danger.
Unfortunately for him Allegra decided that the fact the Greybeards sent her away to fetch a missing horn after three hours of teaching when their members always stay for life meant they didn't like her. Aware that the nobly born, unsneaky Lydia would have trouble adjusting to the life of a hunter and that their only real skill was killing, they joined the Legion.
Allegra met Quintus and Sofie while passing through Windhelm doing Legion business, making more efforts at disguise as the questline escalated. After the Imperial victory she bought Hjerim to be close to them, but hated city life so much she eventually allowed Lydia to coax her into meeting with whoever took the horn and then finishing the main questline, taking time out to repair the White Phial for Nurelion.
After saving the world she decided that she wanted to retire to Lakeview Manor with her housecarl and family, but to do that she needed money. So she decided to join the Dark Brotherhood, a decision that had a lot of unfortunate ramifications for a lot of people.
