Actually, I have a very good theory I've been working on. Has anyone else ever noticed that every single Dragonborn known to any race ever, has had a knack for getting themselves into danger and rising a hero? Of course, the Dragonborn's destiny is a heroic one, but that destiny only deals with Alduin and the dragons. This can be a slight implication that every Dragonborn has the same (or similar) character traits. If they share so much in common, who's to say that they aren't one person? Well, soul, really. What if every Dragonborn is the only Dragonborn? They could all just be reincarnations of the first Dragonborn. I can't remember if you're the last Dragonborn, but if you are, maybe once your character passes on, they are reincarnated one last time, having the body of a dragon. Afterall, the Dragonborn is the only one who can truly kill a dragon by ripping its soul from its body. I honestly couldn't think of a better after life than a technically eternal life as a dragon that is stronger than even Alduin. A Dragonborn dragon could lead other dragons to live peacefully and co-exist with mortal organisms. And, yes, I do recall that you face the first Dragonborn in the DLC but that Dragonborn has also became the puppet of the guy I can never remember the name of. He also only uses a handful of shouts. Shouts that you don't know (or recall) until you go through the Dragonborn quests that end in the ultimate face off. Maybe that was a physical fight ending a mental one that the Dragonborn had in a prvious life, regaining his/her full potential in the end. I don't think I have any holes in my theory, but if I do, please tell me. I would like to know so I can see if there's any way I can close these holes I've missed.
