I first picked Stormcloak. I thought it was time for things to change with the old empire getting comfortable and just trying to "maintain" things. I also remembered the early empires of man based out of Skyrim and the performance of the Nords in the flank in the battle of the red ring.

My character was a female Breton necromancer. She was upset with the Imperials for various reasons, personal and for things she felt they had done to betray the people who encompassed it. She is well read on the theories of the Earthbones and Lorkan, and came to the conclusion action needs to be taken by an empire with energy and life. As she met Ulfric, she was convinced that he would be a capable leader, experienced in fighting wars. She knew he was racist and had selfish motives, but who doesn't? She was convinced that their cause was the best hope for Humanity(and the greater Empire) by that point. She doesn't necessarily want a single mega empire of all the races either, she wants the states to be able to govern themselves.
