[Binary Blast 27]

Share your Elder Scrolls OC's, I'd love to see them, share backstory, a picture if you want, maybe how you play them in game, there race personallity etc.  Don't be shy now, we're all friends here. I'll srart.

 

Name: Formerly Siltal, now Raven

 

Sex: Female

 

Age: 19

 

Race: Altmer (High Elf)

 

Birthday: Tirdas, 1st of Suns Dusk, 4th era 182 (Birthsign: The Atronach)

 

Residence: formerly Summerset Isles, and Cyrodil, now Skyrim

 

Backstory: She was born as Siltal (Altmer don't have surnames) to Anrine (mother), and Tragri (father), in the port town of Skywatch in the Sumerset Isles.  She had two siblings, an older sister named Taarum, and a younger brother named Athell, Her father was a soldier for the imperial legion, and her mother tended the small house they owned, life was good until one day, when Siltal was 12 a clan of Redgaurd bandits stormed the city killing the too young and the too old to work, and raping many of the town's women, her father died trying to protect the town, and her mother put up a fight but her throat was ultimately slit, they killed her brother on sight, and on her sister's orders Siltal hid the house's cellar safe from the bandits, until she heard her sister scream, she peaked out from the basement to find her sister tied up and gagged, she ran from the basement armed with only her fathers elven dagger in hand, she slashed wildley at the bandits, eventually cutting into the retina of one of them, blinding him in his left eye, the elf immediately killed her sister, pinned her to the ground and cut a large gash into her cheek with his dagger, he then tied her up and loaded her onto the boat they arived on.  They took her to Cyrodil, where she was sold as a slave to the Dark Brotherhood, the Brotherhood trained her as to be an assasin, using her as free labor whenever they recieved a new contract.  Eventually the Brotherhood grew to like her, even offering her a full payed position, which she gladly accepted.  Do to her tendancy to hide in high up dark areas and snipe her enemies with a poison tipped arrow, the Brotherhood eventually decided on her new name Raven.  With the gold she was earning from her work for Dark Brotherhood Raven dedicated her life to finding the one-eyed bandit who killed her family, operating out of the Dark Brotherhood HQ in Cyrodil, A lead eventually brought her to Skyrim, but on attempting to cross the boarder she stumbled into an ambush on some Stormcloak rebels carried out by the empire, they loaded her, along with a few of the rebels into the prison cart, mistaking for one of them.  She was about to be executed in Helgen when the first dragon attacked and the rest, well you know the plot of Skyrim.  She joins the companions and the Thieves Guild, and falls in love, and eventually marries Aelea the Huntress of Whiterun, and though she never formally joins she supports the empire in the civil war strongly.  She currently resides with her Wife Aelea in her home in Falkreath.

 

Personalitly: She is sarcastic and ruthless, but cunning and isn't afraid to call people on their bullshit, she is somewhat cynical and is immature.  She devotes an uhealthy amount of time to tracking down the Redgaurd, and tends to get angry and make rash decisions.  She is gifted in the art of speechcraft ad bartering, and can easily presuade or intimidate her foes with her silver tounge.  Though she doesn't activley presue them, she is interested in and has dabbled in both illusion magic and alchemy.  Though she will always say she does things based on her own values, really she would trade them in for a septim in a flash.

 

That's basically my character, she is a cold, trained assasin with a soft-side, kinda steriotypical, I level her 1/2/1 and her weapons are a crossbow, and her Elven Dagger as a combo, and her gear is the Nightingale aromor.  I'd love to hear you guys's, please share.

Oh, why not.

 

Name: Anna

 

Sex: Female

 

Age: 24

 

Race: Imperial

 

War Status: For the Imperial Legion

 

Birthday: 1st of Midyear, Birthsign: The Steed

 

Residence: Heljarchen Hall, the Pale, but also has a house in Raven Rock in Solstheism.

 

Backstory: Anna was born in the Imperial Empire and grew up with stories of the Dark Brotherhood, and eventually stories of the Dragonborn as she got older. She is part of a large family, two older sisters (Clair and Naya), three older brothers (Isaac, Kain and Lloyd), two younger brothers (Axel and Ervin) and one younger sister (Sonia). Due to her large family, she and her siblings were often neglected as her parents had more important things to work on. All of her eight siblings wanted to take differing paths in life, some wanting to become scholors and others warriors. She, along with her sister Sonia, wanted to become assassins after hearing the story of the Dark Brotherhood. Once Sonia became 18 and she turned 19, she and Sonia attempted to join the Dark Brotherhood by leaving home and searching around the country for a Sanctuary. However, once they figured out where the Cheydinhal Sanctuary was, it was already burned down due to the Hero of Kvatch already completing the final DB quest ages ago.

 

The duo decided 'screw it' and headed towards Skyrim to join that Dark Brotherhood. The sisters got separated, and Anna got captured by the Stormcloaks for illegally crossing the border and was sentenced to execution. Alduin saved her and she basically did the Dragonborn questline, looking for Sonia along the way. After the Dragonborn business she did get accepted into the Dark Brotherhood and completed that questline, and was able to figure out that Sonia was on the island Solstheim. She went to Solstheim, found Sonia being mind controlled by Miraak (Sonia was now a mercenary who specialized in bows), completed the Miraak questline and saved her. Sonia decided that she didn't want to become a Dark Brotherhood Assassin anymore, because she liked the merc group she was running with. Anna respected her decision, and now just works as a DB assassin who does a merc job every now and then. She lives in Heljarchen Hall, in The Pale.

 

Personality: Anna would prefer picking locks to killing, but hey, she likes killing too. She is both a Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood member, but spends most of her time in the Dark Brotherhood because she's grown more attached to the remaining members. She dual-wields the Blade of Woe and Mehune's Razor, but when they're out of magic and she's out of soul gems she uses Glass daggers. Her armor is the Ancient Dark Brotherhood armor, along with the Nightweaver's Band and the Amulet of Articulation. If she needs to attack from a distance she uses Dwarven Crossbows. She has black hair and green eyes, and keeps her black hair short and disheveled. She's actually a pretty nice person and trusts people too easily, but if it comes to it can kill without hesitation. She's not very independent and she prefers to be the one dealing out orders instead of giving them. She knows a quite a few shouts, but the only ones she actually uses regularly are Disarm, Whirlwind Sprint, Slow Time, Become Ethereal, Kyne's Peace, and Throw Voice. If she's in a big battle where she needs to stand her ground against a lot of foes, she uses Summon Durnehviir and Dragon Aspect.

Ah I had no idea actually lol. Even though I've been enjoying the series for over a decade I still don't know a lot about the lore.

Well the series is amazing gameplaywise, you can get a lot of depth and complexity from the gameplay alone without ever touching on the story and lore, I just happen to be a huge TES fanboy and spend a lot of time reading the in game books, browsing the wiki, and basically partaking in anything remotely related to the series. xD
