Named mine Hissune because it sounded sort of reptilian, after some character in an old book series I've never read but encountered by wikiwalking TVTropes. Obviously doesn't mean anything in-universe, though my headcanon Cyrodiilises it as Sings-with-Snakes. He's horribly absent-minded and keeps (mostly accidentally) leaving his kids alone for weeks at a time before returning with apologetic sweetrolls (well, there's the housecarl -- Lydia makes a decent babysitter). He's far more afraid of bears and bandits than something as ridiculously killable as dragons or draugr deathlords, which results in him sneaking absolutely everywhere and shooting, at maximum distance, anything that even sneezes in the bushes rather than risk sudden melee. Incapable of sticking to any sort of road, his hobbies are mountain-climbing, collecting books and far too many alchemy ingredients to carry, and making fine jewellery (with legendary Argonian craftmanship). His favourite shout is Aura Whisper: it helps him with stuff like one-shotting giants with a bow from a high vantage point far, far away from the sodding thing itself -- preferably somewhere in the next hold. Hates Chaurus with a burning, blistering, utterly terrified passion.

Other things I'd name an Argonian include: Hist-Hugger, Nibbles-on-Siblings, Licked-a-Hatchling, Would-Hit-a-Netch, Wants-a-Wamasu, Scatter-Scales, Hauls-Arse, Bites-Your-Nose, By-the-Nine-Why-Me, Dropped-His-Sword, Wiggle-That-Tail, Aims-at-Centre-Mass, Sinks-in-Bogs, Runs-Away-and-Falls, Face-Full-of-Frog, Headshots-Handsomely, Serpentine-Sex-Machine, Mingles-with-Mudcrabs, Sera Swears-a-Lot, Hey-Sithis-Check-This, and Deethora the Explorer.
