Who does your character look like?

[Daelon DuLac]

Me or as close to me as I get get.

I tried that too but just couldn't make him sexy enough

OYE! The ego! Pardon me while I move over here so it's not so crowded.

I would make one that looks like me, but there isn't an option for red-haired oxen wearing mumu's, although, for some reason, I suspect there's a mod for that somewhere!

Rule 34 applies.

Rule 34?

Rule 34 states "if it exists then there is porn of it, no exceptions"

By extension, skyrim modding operates on a similar principle

raido, your character looks similar to Prince of Persia (Sands of Time) he's got that agile look about him.

I'm just too sexy not to have a bunch Skyrim children running around.

Hadn't really thought about that similarity, but now that you mention it, it does fit well. Pretty much is the style I was shooting for.

Interestingly enough, if I chose a more traditional Redguard weapon, he's be wielding a scimitar too.

My other two most developed characters are based more exclusively on their races strengths and tendencies and are less mod-dependent in their appearances. This is both due to the fact that each of them were more of a pure-blood of their particular race and that from the start I intended to ultimately import each as custom followers into my other save games and thus them being less modded, made the task of making their follower NPC versions look like my original player character versions considerably easier.

My second character, and the one Raido is almost always seen with is my Bosmer, Karolas Riverwind. His appearance is based most on common Bosmer attributes/characteristics and racial lore and then I mainly just did a few tweaks here an there.



Karolas is fairly short and lean as are most Bosmer. His height is slightly above the average for his race, but comparatively speaking to my other characters, his stature is considerably on the small side.

As is Bosmer tradition, Karolas is a master hunter in the wild. His height/size gives him a speed and agility advantage useful both in the hunt and later in his life in more of a sniper/crowd-control type ranged abilities in fights as well as exceptional sneaking ability.

It's not surprising his primary weapon skill is archery, and in it he is a master. In fact, he has helped Raido develop his already decent skills with a bow and become something of an expert with one. In return for that, Raido has worked with Karolas on his skills with a blade and helped him become something of an expert at it as well and thus it serves as a viable secondary fighting skill.

Equipment-wise/armor-wise, Karolas is usually wearing a set of Bosmer armor (a mod, see attached image)

My third major character, an Orc named Khagra gro-Marzish, like Karolas, was pretty much created as a fairly standard Orc in appearance. By doing this, it made him also an easy one to recreate as a custom follower. Along with Raido and Karolas, Khagra is one of my three characters playing a connected backstory.

I envisioned Khagra basically being a descendent of an Orc I created in my Oblivion days named Shura gro-Marzish. Khagra pretty much looks like a younger version of that character. He is most commonly found wearing a complete set of Orcish Armor and typically prefers using two-handed weapons, a great-sword primarily or sometimes a battle-axe. He is also a skilled archer though he does prefer face-to-face combat more than ranged combat.

Like his father, Khagra is a master blacksmith and despite his youth, there is very little that he isn't capable of making at a forge. Both katanas my primary character, Raido has used throughout the game were crafted by his friend, Khagra.

I'm not sure who my current favorite character looks like. She's a tall, lean Redguard warrior by the name of Shian.

I'm definitely open to suggestions if you think she resembles someone. Maybe Michonne from The Walking Dead. That seems pretty likely, now that I think about it.

I was leaning towards a very young Vanessa Williams with a flare of Janet Jackson.

You can do that with mods? Cool!! I'm a vanilla Skyrimmer so I can't post awesome photos and stuff. Still cool stuff!!

yeah, there's a console command that saves your active player's face and then you set the other appearance attributes to get a pretty close re-creation of your character as a NPC that can be imported into the game as a follower. Since my Orc and Bosmer have appearances that didn't rely on a ton of mods to happen, they were pretty simple to make an NPC that looked really similar.

My primary character though was tougher as his appearance is fairly mod-dependent and thus my attempt to make an NPC with him didn't work too well.

It is fun having the group roam around together. I love the first time I saw each of my alternate characters jump on and kill shot a dragon. Makes me proud

Have you tried the Familiar Faces mod, Raido? You load your current character into a "Hall of Heros". then any subsequent characters you make can visit the hall and activate any character saved there, setting them free into the world as a fully actualized NPC and follower.

It's a pretty brilliant mod. Most of my characters are wandering around any given save I have in Skyrim. I highly recommended it. It recreates your characters perfectly, including modded gear/items/weapons/faces/eyes/body-type and hair.

wow I might just have to check that one out. My Orc and Bosmer are pretty much exact as is, but would be nice to get my original character's appearance done as the process I was using had so-so results for him. It is a lot of fun having all your characters active in a given game file.
