Small Backstory: His father was a well known Nord Warrior but died when Dragen was very young. His mother was left to raise him, and did an admirable job until she died when Dragen was 13 years old. The local blacksmith saw a troubled young boy and took him into his home.

As years passed, Dragen developed a very good skill of mining ores, killing deer, and making armor for a profit. While making his way into Skyrim to sell his latest bit of goods, he was ambushed by a group of Stormcloaks wanting to steal his merchandise. After 3 days of being held prisoner, he used some skills he had picked up over time and broke free. That didn't last long though, as a group of Imperials raided the camp he had been trapped at. Dragen tried to hide long enough to make his second escape but was soon picked up and treated as one of the Stormcloak. From there our journey starts...

[hexperiment]

Khanara, The Witch of Hunt
Race: Khajiit
Faction(s): College of Winterhold
Play style: Hunter(archery) and talented magician specialized in fire (destruction) and mind (illusion). Survivalist in the woods and adept with alchemy.
Followers: None
Armor: Savior's Hide
Weapon: Hunting Hag (Ebony bow with absorb magicka effect)
Favorite Finisher: Arrow in the back
Friends: No one in particular
Age: mid 30's

Background Story: Growing up in a poor family living in a neighborhood slum, Khanara turned to a life of an outlaw at a young age. As the only female member of her gang, she proved her worthiness through stealth and covert tactics and fought hard to get a respectable position. After years of stealing and killing, Khanara and the ringleader fell in love and got married. However, while she was carrying her child, she began having nightmarish premonitions about her child following the same path of crime. As her husband boasted more about how he will push his son to replace him as the leader, she became deathly worried. Eventually, Khanara gave birth to a female Suthay-raht. That night, she fled as her husband went berserk. Before the angry bandits caught her, the Imperial border guards captured her for trespassing to Skyrim. Identifying her as the Light Death, they put her in jail for execution. Thankfully, one of the guards took pity and adopted the baby. Even at the face of her execution, Khanara feels rested, knowing that her daughter will live a happy life.

Current Story(semi-spoiler for quests and my journal): After discovering her dragon-blood and learning about imminent apocalypse, Khanara makes effort to become stronger so that she can stop Alduin from destroying the world. On her journey, she encountered Hircine, the Daedric Prince of Hunt. He put her into a trial of hunt which she reluctantly obliged and carried out his dangerous order. After a thrilling chase in the dark wilderness, she slayed the beast. Hircine rewarded her success with an armor forged from her game. From that moment, Khanara became fully realized as the Witch of Hunt.

 

[Teritus]

A lot of people seem to be playing stealthy-assassin type characters.

A lot of people seem to be playing stealthy-assassin type characters.

As far as I'm concerned, just watching an enemy walk up to you (while you are still hidden) and getting 30x damage is amazing.

 

[Gemini Sierra]

G'imeni
Level 9
Race: Khajiit
Faction(s): None yet - although leaning towards the Stormcloaks
Play style: archery/mage - probably going to focus on destruction and conjuration
Followers: None
Armor: fine leather at the moment
Weapon: Imperial Bow is primary with a pair of daggers but will occasionally use a sword and shield to defend against stronger opponents
Favorite Finisher: Haven't had any on this character yet
(Arrow in the back - never saw that one before!)
Friends: No one in particular - although Ralof and his sister are friendly to me as is the trader in Riverwood.
Age: Don't know (does the game give this or is this made up? If the later how do you figure it?)

Basic background: hunting/exploring in the mountains bordering Skyrim and apparently crossed the border with out knowing it and got caught in a skirmish between the stormcloaks and the Empire. After getting freed by that dragon have been exploring around the Riverwood area and doing odd jobs for the folks there.
So far have explored as far as Falkreath to the west and Bleak Falls Barrow to the north.

Beyond that I haven't figured out a backstory yet.

 

[Pete]

Name: Paatrix
Race: Imperial Female with blood tattoos, scars, dirt
Factions: Harbinger of Champions and Ring Bearer for Cult of Namira
Play Style: Shield and one handed, werewolf, cannibal
Armor: Exquisite Wolf Armor

Friends: Eola & Aela the Huntress
Favorite Finishers: Bash then absorb soul & eat body, rampage as werewolf.
Pastimes: Drinking buddies at Jorrvaskr & feasts at Reachcliff, alchemy - poisons especially
Home: Master suite at Jorrvaskr

This character play is dark. However, she helps those who she likes. Very high speech craft and quickly tames hostile npcs. Many miscellaneous quests are taken up with glee. Thiefs, Vampires, Mages and the Dark Brotherhood are disdained and bandits are favorite food. Helps witches & hagravens if they don't attack. Frees imprisoned werewolfs. Loyal to the empire, but is developing a curiosity about Ulfric Stormcloak and his motives / abilities.

[Nightshade]

A lot of people seem to be playing stealthy-assassin type characters.

It's a really fun playstyle. I really love archery and sending an arrow into an enemy's back before I'm even noticed. There are just as many hack and slash players around, if more, though. Just from my observations in Skyrim forums and youtube, it seems to be most popular.

Yes. I lost my sweetroll. Are you gonna help me find it or not? Dont care bout the arrow to the knee...you chased me just fine when i stole your sweetroll last week...lol
