I never really experimented much with races or consistent characters before - always played Breton or Nord and ended up with a rather random character who did all sorts of nice things the one moment but ran off assassinating and stealing the other. Also I usually joined all the guilds simply because I like them all.
But that random style of playing is getting really boring, so I'm thinking of cleaning up my savegames and characters and starting 4-5 new ones who are consistent in their behavior, fighting techniques and factions.
For example:
The totally obvious one - a stormcloak Nord in heavy armor wielding large two-handed chunks of steel, starting in Windhelm to buy Hjerim, maybe building Heljarchen Hall into a bulky mancave later.
Or:
Magey magey altmer (if I find a mod to make them somewhat less ugly) leading the college, searching arcane wisdom.
I know many of you are playing consistent characters, and you guys probably invest a lot of thought into laying out a story that is appropriate for who your character is. So tell me about it! Who is your Dragonborn? How does their race, character or background determine who they are in skyrim?
Also on a side note, do you recommend the "alternative start - live another life" mod for this purpose & does it offer options for various kinds of characters & races?
I'm looking forward to hearing your characters story!
