Okay, I know we did it before but I like to read about your characters. If you have many and don't want to write about them all pick your favourite or your current one. By the way, what are your favorite races to play? I like Dunmers and Bosmers and I do rogues in general.
Here is the back story of a character I'm creating :
Identity : Falinn, 20, female
Race : Bosmer
Description : big orange eyes, dark hair (long), dusky complexion, petite
Important active skills : Archery, 1-handed
Important passive skills : Speech, heal, lockpicking, pickpocket, sneak
Background : My character was born in a minor but very rich ancient noble family of Valenwood. She had an older brother who always fought with their parents on everything : their morality, goals, political associations. She was immature and manipulative (just imagine her speech skill) because that's the way she was raised but her very close brother her avoid her to go on a dangerous path by focusing her attention : he told her he was a famous master thief, trained her in archery and all the traditionnal stealth skills then quickly she became a better archer than him. He also taught her his most important rule : do not kill unless you have to eat or protect yourself and your kind. Or if it's retribution.
One day, their parents' political games blew up to their faces and the Thalmor murder them during a purge. Falinn was not at home and she had no idea where her brother was or even if he was alive. Lost, she barely escaped Valenwood and wander, unable to know what to do with herself. Two years passed, she decided to search her brother but a thief knows how to cover his tracks and she almost gave up until she heard something about Stormcloaks in Skyrim boarder by an informer in Cyrodiil. Stormcloacks? He hates politics, what's going on? Falinn decided her next travel must by to Riften, where her brother have friends in the Thieves Guild. She was caught in Helgen (must be why the Thalmor where there), probably sold.
Your turn now!
