I used to post much of my fan-fiction in the blogs section of this site, sadly some of these blogs and posts seemed to have been lost over time. Much of my fanfictions are centered around my personal head-canon of Skyrim, where I have more than one character, and each of them affects one another in a variety of ways. To start, I think it's a good idea to introduce each of my eleven characters (and counting!), so interested readers have a "who's who" of each one and where they are at right now.

Introducing (in order of importance):

Wolfblade (The Dovakhin, Male Nord): Wolfblade traverses the harsh lands of Skyrim as he approaches Kynesgrove in order to prove the Blade Delphine that he is indeed the 'Dragonborn'. He comes from a long line of heroes (and villains) of a similar name, the first known Wolfblade being one of the five hundred Companions in service to Ysgramor. He wears hide and leather armor, wields the battleaxe Wuuthrad, and also is adept with the bow. He has long black hair, stands about six feet, five inches, and has ice blue eyes. He also has blood red warpaint around his eyes and upper cheek area of his face. He was recently appointed by the spirit of Kodlak Whitemane as the Harbinger of the Companions after being chosen out of four potential candidates. He has no current affiliations elsewhere and is generally a neutral party when it comes to politics.

Brunhilde (Female Nord): Brunhilde was raised by a small barbarian tribe on the fringes of Skyrim's borders. She stands little over six feet tall and has a lanky, lean build. Her brown hair (done in a mohawk with a single braid) and eyes come from her presumably Breton father, who was supposedly a Forsworn that impregnated her sympathetic Nord mother, though she met neither one of her parents growing up. She is one of the top generals of the Stormcloaks and Jarl Ulfric's right-hand woman and believes in Nord purity despite once marrying Camilla Valerius, whom she killed the night she became a Werewolf. She was one of the potential candidates to become the Harbinger, but Kodlak saw her as too brash and abrasive to take a leadership role. In battle she specializes in the warhammer and wears light leather armor to aid her mobility. She also sports dark blue warpaint around her eyes.

Gehazi (Male Redguard): Gehazi is a direct descendant of Tatana, the woman that aided Martin Septim in shutting down the gates of Oblivion two hundred years earlier. He is about five feet, ten inches with a lean-muscular frame. He has light brown skin that occasionally appears fair in bright sunlight due to his great, great-grandfather being half-Nord, dark hair braided into cornrows, and brown eyes. He is the Listener of what remains of the Dark Brotherhood and out for revenge against Arok Gro-Samosh for destroying what was once Skyrim's original Dark Brotherhood. He is attempting to rebuild the Dark Brotherhood, having made many enemies along the way. He often wears a hood, Alik'r style clothing by day and leather vestments by night, specializes in archery and wields a scimitar in each hand when the action gets up close (which is often). He is married to the Nord Ysolda and they will be expecting their first child very soon.

Arok Gro-Samosh (Male Orc): Arok Gro-Samosh is a descendant of Duluk Gro-Samosh, the first Orcish leader of the Cyrodiilic Fighter's Guild. He has a significant amount of human blood due to race-mixing, including Redguard, Imperial and Breton blood. He has dark red hair tied into dreadlocks and green eyes, indicating the faint human blood in him. He is to General Tullius and the Imperial Legion what Brunhilde is to the Stormcloaks, a powerful general on the battlefield. He wears a full set of heavy armor and a greatsword, slow but very sturdy and powerful. He has encountered Gehazi and his subordinates in battles before. He is best known for taking out the original Dark Brotherhood under the orders of Maro Gaius before his assassination. He has a strong rivalry with Brunhilde, bound only by being fellow Shield-Brethren of the Companions. He was also considered a candidate to become the Harbinger, but Kodlak believes he was too cold and battle-hungry for the role. Despite his lawful role he is a friend to Lyna, Mistress of the Thieves Guild. He is also married to Borgakh the Steel-Heart, a female Orc warrior.

Emile (Male Breton): The current Archmage of the College of Winterhold, he and Talon stopped Ancano from taking over the mage's guild after the Altmer had a power trip to usurp the title of archmage. He has pale skin, short black hair and bright green eyes. He was once married to the dark elf Jenassa, but upon a couples' trip she turned against him, being forced to kill her in self defense. Now he, with the assistance of his friends Orinia and Brelyna, as well as 'aunties' Faralda and Nirya, all work to help raise Emile's infant daughter Elissa, a child of mixed heritage. In combat Emile uses bound swords and can be considered an 'arcane warrior', using Alteration and Restoration spells to his defense and bound swords to attack. He is good friends with Orinia and Talon. He was also once a member of the Vigilants of Stendarr and still occasionally ventures to destroy Daedra and demons.

Nyri (Female Dark Elf): A scourge to Skyrim, Nyri is a daedric witch and merciless killer. She is about three hundred years old but looks to be about sixteen years old in appearance, still sporting a youthful face, very frail body, blood red makeup and black pigtails. She is in service to the daedric prince Molag Bal, wielding his mace, and is a powerful mage that uses destructive fire magic and illusion to her advantage, effectively one who uses Combat, Stealth, and Magic, though Magic is her forte. However, she is also a glass cannon, wearing only robes, and because she is so frail it's easy to kill her. She survived being attacked by Gehazi after threatening Ysolda, rescued and healed by Emile, who believes she has 'another side' to her. Whether she truly does or it's simply Emile's compassion for someone who resembles an older version of his daughter is unknown.

Lyna (Female Wood Elf): A seductive, slim golden haired beauty with a faint yellow tint to her skin and large orange eyes, Lyna is the Mistress of the Thieves Guild and one of two Nightingales in service to Nocturnal. She is not primarily gifted in combat but an adept archer should she find herself in a fight and is usually clad in her Nightingale Armor, showing only her face and hints of her long hair through an open-faced black hood. She is currently searching for a third candidate to restore the trinity to her patroness Nocturnal. She rivals Gehazi, having had him booted for assassination and tries to keep Tsarrina within the lines of the Thieves Guild, knowing the Khajiit to be an asset but also risky due to her affiliation with the Dark Brotherhood. She is married to the Nord mercenary Stenvar because there are no eligible Bosmer in Skyrim. She is also a friend to Arok Gro-Samosh, having saved his life from an attack by Gehazi and Talon back in Riften.

Tsarrina (Female Khajiit): A lean, slightly muscular Khajiit with reddish fur, dark red braids and orange-yellow eyes. She lives a double life in Skyrim, one being a Nightingale in Nocturnal's service under Lyna in the Thieves Guild, the other as a paid assassin for Gehazi in the Dark Brotherhood. Lyna tolerates her dual-role although Gehazi is unaware of her 'other affiliation'. She was tasked with finding, and killing, Arok Gro-Samosh after the Orc killed the old members of the Brotherhood. She travels with Talon to ensure the task be done, unaware of Lyna's friendship with the Orc...and even more unaware of her rivalry to Gehazi. She may have to choose between them one day. She also awaits her husband, a fellow Khajiit who guards one of the caravans from Elsewyr, eagerly awaiting his coming to Skyrim.

Talon (Male Argonian): A lean Argonian with dark grey-black scales and warpaint that matches his bright yellow eyes. He was a former slave in Morrowind who was the sole survivor after his slavers attempted to summon a particularly nasty, and defiant, demon into the world. He lived his life under the name 'Haran' in Leyawiin of Cyrodiil, happily married to a fellow Argonian with children as he worked in the East Empire company and Dark Brotherhood. Sadly a rival Argonian killed his family due to a bounty placed on their heads, forcing Talon to take revenge and being booted from the Cyrodiil branch of the Dark Brotherhood for killing a fellow member (protocol before personal vendettas, they say). He became a hunted man and fled to Skyrim. Eventually he would rebuild his life in the College of Winterhold, even considered to become the next Archmage, but coin and circumstances said otherwise. He was happy to allow his friend Emile to reap that reward, instead focusing his attention on his new wife Shahvee and making her as happy as possible. He tried living his life cleaning up the streets of thugs and bandits, but Talon truly wanted a home for Shahvee outside of Windhelm. Knowing of his plight, Gehazi offered Talon a place within the Skyrim branch of the Dark Brotherhood. Talon was reluctant, but seeing Shahvee and the discrimination of the Argonians in Windhelm he chose to rejoin, only for the coin. He is a powerful fire mage that can lay rune traps, torch opponents, and retains his stealth and dagger abilities back as an assassin in Cyrodiil, and wears light armor. Shahvee is expecting their first set of hatchlings. Currently Talon has been hired to take out Arok Gro-Samosh, having met the Orc unsuccessfully in battle before. He knows this time he cannot fail or else Shahvee may never have those hatchlings, as Gehazi threatens.

Tiberius (Male Imperial): A former Imperial Arena gladiator who chose to turn from his life of bloodshed. He became an agent of the Imperial Legion, tasked to spy in Skyrim, but upon moving and living up north he retired from the Legion, instead focusing his efforts in the Companions. There he met the love of his life, a fellow Imperial named Ria, and the two married and currently reside in Riften and are expecting their first child. He wears heavy armor, defends himself with a heavy shield and wields a waraxe, plus he can use restoration magic to ward and heal himself if need be. Brunhilde dislikes him because of his former associations while Arok urges him to rejoin the Legion. He was also a candidate to become the Harbinger, but Kodlak decided he was too impartial so the honor went to Wolfblade. He has black hair, brown eyes and fair skin.

Orinia (Female High Elf): A descendant of the Duke of Mania of the Shivering Isles, Orinia's family lineage includes many necromancers and occultists. She is fairly tall and thin, having short blonde hair and bright green eyes, her skin a fair golden like many Altmer. Unlike her forebears she desires to use her magic for the good of society and even disagrees with the negative narcissism of her fellow Altmer, believing the true way to a good society is working together, not apart. She generally wears enchanted clothing and uses powerful Destruction magic as her primary sources of defense but can also confuse and trick enemies through Illusion magic. She resides in Solitude as its current Thane and is married her fellow in the College of Winterhold, a Nord named Onmund. She desires to open her own school of magic in Solitude as a branch to the College of Winterhold, mainly in hopes to help ease tensions and ill feelings towards mages in Skyrim. She is also a good friend to Emile and surrogate 'aunt' figure to his daughter Elissa.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading their little biographies. Let me know who your favorites are and if you have any ideas for future stories involving them! :)

Such detail! I am in awe. It must have taken your hours to intertwine all those back stories. Did you create it as the characters unfolded or before you started playing them?

Thank you Honourman. :)

It's kind of a mix of both. I usually come up with a character concept before I make the character, but then as I'm playing through, I start deciding what fits him/her best and what doesn't.
