I always make an Imperial and then an Argonian in TES games, so I'll start with my Imperial Dragonborn:

Draevan is an Imperial who was born and raised in the Imperial City. He was named after his ancestor, the Hero of Kvatch, who'd ended the Oblivion Crisis two centuries prior. His family had always served in the Legion, so when the Great War began he was on the front lines fighting the Dominion. Draevan was greivously wounded during the Sack of the Imperial City, and was barely clinging to life in an Imperial medical tent when the Battle of the Red Ring occured and the war ended. When he awoke weeks later, he was dismayed to learn that the Empire had for all intents and purposes fractured due to the White-Gold Concordat. Draevan left the Legion, deeply conflicted and at a loss. On the one hand, he had always believed in the Empire and fought to uphold it, as his family had for centuries. On the other, he viewed the outlawing of Talos worship and the expulsion of Hammerfell as a betrayal of everything the Empire had once stood for. For the next 30 years he wandered Tamriel as a sellsword; from High Rock to Black Marsh, from Morrowind to Hammerfell. When he heard of the Civil War beginning in Skyrim, Draevan decided to head there to re-join the Legion, believeing that Skyrim seceeding would be the beginning of the end for the Empire. While he might not agree with Titus Mede II, he believed Mede was but one misguided man, that the Empire was still worth saving. Though he was nearing 50 years of age, he still wished to fight and hoped to make a difference. That was when he was captured near Darkwater Crossing with Ulfric Stormcloak and brought to Helgen.
