User blog comment:Ravyn Uvenim13/Skyrim Questionnaire (Daggerfall/Morrowind Edition)/@comment-24045142-20140601061401

Here is an example of how I like to write & read the above questyionnaire:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(1) Who are you? (character's name, race, gender, date of birth, & place of birth on the line below).

Ravyn Uvenim, Dunmer, male, 3E 427, Sadrith Mora, Vvardenfell.

__________________________________

(2) What do you look like? (Please keep this as lore-friendly as possible. An anime-style character does not exactly fit with a majority of people's perception of what a TES character looks like).

Ravyn has a darker-than-normal ash-grey skintone compared to others of his race, allowing him to blend more fully into the shadows. He has thick white hair that is often worn into a low ponytail, tied back with a thin black leather cord, to keep his brightly glowing crimson eyes from being obscured. He has a myriad of scars, as well as a few Daedric runes spelling out various words of powers and prayers to the Daedric Tribunal of Aura, Mephala, & Boethiah.

__________________________________

(3) What Aedra or Daedra do you most devoutly follow? (Name ONE of either entity. You cannot worship both divinities. You may also choose to be agnostic/atheistic).

Ravyn used to commonly revered the Webspinner Mephala, patron Daedra of the Morag Tong. As a former member of the guild of assassins sanctioned by the Cyrodiilic Empire, he would use his blade in her name. When he makes his way to the frozen north of Skyrim, he changes his worship to the complete Tribunal of the 'good' Daedra.

_________________________________

(4) What is your place in society? (Beggar, peasant, middle class, low nobility, high nobility. This choice helps define your character's class).

Telvanni nobility, high-tier Morag Tong assassin.

_________________________________

(5) What motivated you into taking up the life of an adventurer? (short, 1-2 sentence summary. Make it sensible & logical).

Ravyn couldn't take the killing or blood that came with being a high-ranking guild assassin. He decided to take up the life of a wandering vagabond in order to escape his past and try and become a new person.

_________________________________

(6) Why do you worship the being that you do? (write N/A or 'skipped' if you chose not to worship a divine being).

Ravyn changed from worshipping only Mephala to the complete Tribunal due to his last few assassinations, which mainly targeted the Great House Hlaalu, the Imperial Cult, and the three vampire Clans of Morrowind.

________________________________

(7) Are you versed in any magic (Yes or No).

Despite being born into the House that birthed the greatest mages to date, he was more martially minded, similar to house Redoran, one of Telvanni's main rivals. He does have some basic schooling with Apprentice level Destruction magic, though he is typically more well-versed in the Conjuration art of creating Bound weapons, namely the sword and dagger spells.

________________________________

(8) If so, what school (or schools) did you study? (you may choose any number of the schools of magic used in any of the games, but do not make yourself an archmagister. Remember, this is a starting character.)

Ravyn is versed in the Destruction and Conjuration Schools.

________________________________

(9) What is your expertise in martial combat? (You may choose any of the disciplines from any of the games, but Arena through Morrowind would fit the description best, I.E.: Short Blade, Marksmanship, Spear, Long Blade. If your character a pure mage, state that below. If he/she is a user of Bound weapons, select the appropriate skills).

Ravyn is a master of Short & Long Blades, marksmanship and the use of light armor to remain agile and silent.

_______________________________

(10) What weapon(s) do you use most often? (This is a part of the above question. The same rules apply. If you are a pure mage, state so below. If you are a Bound weapon user, state what ethereal weapons you use).

Ravyn typically uses physical weapons, namely Elven quality swords and daggers, as well as the longbow. If he is found without these weapons, he will fall back on his Bound weapons in both types of combat.

_______________________________

(11) Having stated what abilities you use, what sort of armor or clothing do you most often wear in your adventuring? (Using the Oblivion penalty for armor descreasing spell effectiveness, Battlemages should opt to use light armor for a low penalty and increased nimbleness. Pure mages who wish for increased protection without sacrificng their spells should invest in shield/flesh spells, or bound armor).

Ravyn usually wears armor that blends in with the shadows and has enchantments that aid in stealth-related feats, such as moving unseen & unheard, or close-/long-range assassination techniques. Typically, these armors would be made of Chitin rubbed with a paste of ash, coal, as well as a sealant, to darken the armors lighter colour, as well as keep out airborne toxins or excess moisture. When he arrives in skyrim, he changes from the darkened chitin to supple leather, be it armor taken from a Dark Brotherhood assassin, or gained from the Thieves' Guild in Skyrim. in the way of clothes, he will wear either robes or tunics & breeches either made of black cotton or sackcloth, while his shoes and gloves are generally made of thin leather.
