Opinions on characters.

• Jesan Marius (Imperial): 2 handed (melee), Heavy Armor, Restoration, Smithing, Destruction (Shock, for dragons mainly), and Enchanting. Small story: He grew up in Bruma (funny, I know), with a mercenary father and a priestess mother (She joined the priesthood after his birth). He became a Knght/paladin worshiping Stendarr, and uses a warhammer. met the other characters during his adventures.

• Elona (Breton): Sneak, One-Handed, Speech (big part of her story), Illusion, Destruction (frost/ice), Alchemy. Story: Merchant lord's daughter, parents were killed, along with elder sibling, and lived in Cyrodiil afterwards. Learned how to fight with a "nightblade" style using techniques taught to her by Sidra and self-taught magical abilities.

• (New) Sidra (Bosmer Range assassin): Sneak, Light Armor, Archer, Smithing, One Handed, Alchemy (Green Pact Alchemy from the Skyrim Blog). Story: Basic renegade "ranger" from Valenwood turned mercenary assassin

• (New) Turain Ravel (Dunmer (was going to be an Altmer, but changed this one too) Fire-specialized arcanist): Destruction (Fire), Conjuration (for summons), Alteration, Restoration (healing), Enchanting, Alchemy. Story: Will not talk about it.

• Elona (the Breton, could use a good family name): Elona grew up in Daggerfall, one of the main cities of High Rock. Her parents were merchant nobles, famous for helping facilitate trade in the province. If you needed a shipment moved from Daggerfall to another kingdom/city-state, they were your family to talk to. They were not all that well liked among some of the other Noble families, however. One day, her family's home was attacked, and her parents and elder brother killed. She managed to escape with the help of a servant from one of her family's few friends, who took her to Cyrodiil. She worked for the EETC in the Imperial City, until she got bored and sought to understand the world. She met the Imperial warrior of Stendarr Jesan (just because) and the two went to see Jesan's Bosmer friend, Sidra, who taught her stealth and mobile combat, as well as learning some magic on her own. She also learned Alchemy during her travels and used her merchant skills to get good deals on weapons and armor. She then traveled to Skyrim for some adventures.
• Jesan Marius (Imperial): Jesan was born and raised in Bruma. After his birth, his mother joined the chapel in Bruma and served as a priestess, believing he was a gift from the Divines. His father was a mercenary. He learned how to fight from his father, and the art of healing magic from his mother. As he grew up, he went on some light work with his father, for training purposes, and also because his father was beginning to grow old. When his father died, his mother was distraught, and he often found himself taking care of her. When she died, he took up his father's warhammer and became a paladin warrior devoted to Stendarr (got paid to kill bandits and other evils). His adventures had him meet The Bosmer assassin Sidra, the Dunmer mage Turain Ravel, and the Breton Merchant's daughter Elona. He helped them all out and decided to travel to other provinces. He then for some reason found himself in Skyrim, on a mission to rid the world of evil, according to a vision from Stendarr.

Not bad. I think the Dunmer's backstory needs to be a bit more fleshed out though.

Excellent work on Elona and Sidra, I would really enjoy a serial comic or fanfic focused on those two. It seems like Elone is your main character, from a narrative perspective, and that's awesome. Maybe throw a few scars on 'em that they've all earned together, have a few darker tales?

Actually, Jesan will be the Dragonborn, Elona will the primary alt.

Sounds fantastic, but it is your story and they are your characters. Being Dovhakin doesn't necessarily mandate one as the main to me as a reader.

• New Build: one handed, Heavy Armor, Block, Archery (crossbows), Smithing, Illusion (Courage and Calm), Speech (unperked for personal reasons).
  
• New Story: Jesan was born to minor nobility in Anvil, due to their ancestor's part in helping Titus Mede the first take the Imperial throne. Jesan never felt that he earned his family's wealth, so when his father died, he left it all to his little sister, who took over the family. Choosing to instead help others as a "hedge knight", as well as using what little healing magic he learned from his mother. He also left behind a handmaid for the countess of Anvil who he loved. He met Elona, Sidra and Turain Ravel on different occasion. The four ended up meeting in the Imperial City and joined together, Elona learning some spells in the illusion school on her own and stealth from Sidra. After a while they split up and Jesan traveled to Skyrim, to prove himself as a knight for one of the lords of the land of the Nords...

• New build: Archer (pure range), conjuration (bound bow), Speech, Sneak, Alchemy, Illusion (for now, may change that to Alteration).
• New Story (in her words): I grew up in a small merchant family in Daggerfall. We have familial connections to the Eat Empire Trading Company. One day my brother, Jerian, was escorting some caravans to another city when the caravan was attacked by monsters. I was angry, so went off to get something to do. I bumped into a man in the market. I spoke to him and he said he hunted evil magi and other mystical creatures. I told him what happened to my brother, and he recognized that the "monsters" were more than likely either vampires hunting for food or necromancers looking for body parts. He offered his services, and my parents and I accepted his services. He and collected his pay. I went out to the market one day to come home to find my home burning. I had to flee, having no home in High Rock left. I met the witch hunter again and he travelled with me to the Imperial City, and my uncle. I worked as a merchant in the city, until I met Jesan Marius. I also met a couple of his "allies". I learned some archery skills of travelling Bosmer marksmen. I also learned some magic to help me protect people from the same fate as my brother. So I set off, in search of adventure and monsters to kill.

I am debating switch Sidra to a Dunmer Melee assassin, as Elona will be range, and Turain to an Altmer storm mage. Thoughts?

She was shortly allowed to join the mysterious and currently defunct order of the Eagle, the only premier knightly order in the Isle. They were honorable warriors, and skilled in the art of illusion. Irinwe herself was "married" in the code of the order when she handed her first lover, a fellow female knight of the Eagle, her mother's betrothal amulet. When the Aldmeri Dominion reformed in the current Era, The knights and Irinwe were the first to join forces, hoping that their alliance led to a resurgence of influence for the Altmer in the Empire. When the Thalmor became more and more obsessed with getting rid of man, the Knights of the Eagle went to War with the Thalmor, with the Eagles losing all but Irinwe. Irinwe spent the next hundred years hiding in Valenwood. She ended up falling in love with a female Bosmer Alchemist, who returned the love. When the Thalmor came searching for her, her lover was killed in front of her. Despising the Dominion, Irinwe flew into a rage, slaughtering the soldiers, except for Ondolemar who escaped. She then fled to the Imperial city, and decided to live life as a mercenary. During her career, she met the Imperial crusader of Arkay, Alessia Marius. The two adventured together riding the land of bandits and other monsters. She slowly began to fall in love with Alessia and fled, fearing that the Thalmor would hunt her down. She decided to head further north, to the lands of the Nords, hoping that the Thalmor did not get their hooks into the hardy sons and daughters that live there.
