My first was a Breton named Vega. She had a dreadlock mohawk that I absolutely loved. She was a jack-of-all-trades since it was my first time playing an Elder Scrolls game (or any similar RPG) and I had no concept of what a build was.
Started out using mostly magic, then switched to sword and board, and ended up relying on archery and sneak dagger attacks as my main strategy. She was the Guild Master of the Thieves Guild, the Arch-Mage of Winterhold, a Stormcloak soldier (despite never finishing the war), and I believe she dabbled in the Dark Brotherhood as well. She wore Thieves Guild armor and hood, with Nightingale gloves and boots, used the Nightingale Bow and fire-enchanted ebony weapons otherwise. Smithing, enchanting, alchemy, one-handed, two-handed, block, archery, you name it, she did it. Sneaking especially; it was the first skill she maxed.
She finished the main quest around level 50 and I continued playing her until level 55, when I decided I'd learned enough and started over with a new character and an actual build.
That was a nice trip down memory lane!
