Meet Ishwandy

He has left Blackmarsh and traveled north looking for work to support his sister, who is suffering from a cancer. He's strong of back, and light of foot. He is a good man at heart, and just wants to be treated fairly. He loves trees, as any child of the hist does, and is an excellent shot with the bow.

I hope someone skins him and turns him into several purses. And a wallet for me. >=(

I just had to say it. Just me being ridiculous.

Don't worry, TheWanderer. Yoshi's got your back.

This is Steve.

He's a former Imperial soldier. He used his station as a loyal servant of the Empire to brutally murder hobo's and various street performers. He has recently arrived in Skyrim to seek out new future victims. His face paint proudly proclaims that he has killed enemies in battle and his shaved head declares, 'Cold weather? I don't give no f*ck! Run up if you bad!'

His future goals include the systemic erasure of local hovels and ensuring that his personal creed of, 'Murder-time, fun-time!' will transcend time and space. And genres.

You receive a letter.

I'd hunt mudcrabs all day long in that getup.

Seriously though...sweet

On my way to cook up a delicious treat for a visiting dignitary of note.

Also vampire.

Luckily not of the "sparkles in daylight, walked all over by a vain, selfish teenager a fraction of his age" variety. Though I'm sure some sick, twisted monster will come up with a mod for sparkly vampires at some point.

Farfhd the Nord, skulker in shadows, strider o'er the tundra; deadly archer and owner of a nimble swordarm; lock picker and shield basher. Thief, Companion, Dragon Slayer, hobbyist smith. No friend he to the Thalmor. Seeker of adventure across that torn-apart and set-upon province of Skyrim.

Here is another action shot of my guy, doing what he does best...

Here is Thorgrim the Redguard...

IMAGE(http://i.imgur.com/3hijs.jpg)

Part 1: Thorigrim was captured by a group of Imperial soldiers after attempting to cross the border, having been mistaken as a sympathizer to the cause of Skyrim's rebels. In reality, he was fleeing the wrath of a noble that he had bilked many septims from with a drawn-out scam. Along with several rebels, notably the leader of the rebellion itself, he was carted into Helgen, a pitifully small town he had never heard of before. He soon realized that he would have been much better off had he simply faced the wrath of his pursuer as his captors were intent upon becoming his executioners. By divine providence, infernal machinations, or sheer dumb luck, he was saved by the appearance of a gargantuan dragon that rudely interrupted the Imperial's party plans. After having narrowly escaped both the clutches of the Imperials and of a fearsome dragon, he managed to find his way to a small riverside community aptly named Riverwood. He decided to keep the armor he looted from the corpses of his adversaries both as protection and to perhaps avoid suspicion for being a Redguard in the insular province of Skyrim. If they think he is merely part of a detachment of soldiers from the main province or even from far away Hammerfell, then he would be able to slip by unnoticed...for now. Not long after arriving in the small community, he heard word of a major hold known as Whiterun.

IMAGE(http://i.imgur.com/IkhYW.jpg)

Part 2: Thorgrim recently arrived in Solitude after having ventured to Whiterun. He did not stay long in that traditional hold of Nordic power for he felt drawn to the Imperial stronghold of Solitude, where he hoped to find a more diverse crowd that might prove more welcoming. Alas, he has also decided to ditch the garb of the Imperials as the civil war being waged made him uneasy whilst wearing a brazen display of one side's armor. He has since acquired traditional Hammerfellian clothes that he might appear to be a traveler. More than that, he wishes to be certain that his past identity does not follow him, so he taken on the guise of a sellsword and merchant. Although he has shed his old identity, he intends upon keeping to his old ways now that he has seen the bounty of the land and its peoples. All that it holds is ripe for the taking.

I hope some of you enjoyed that. I will continue it if people request more. Don't just be nice! If you hate it and want me to shoot myself, just tell me. Feelings won't be hurt.

I am jealous. Not being able to take screenshots and the pop-in are my only two complaints with the console version.

I want to show of my Dragon Born.

Keep going! Though, if pictures of Thorgrim shooting himself appear, I will consider that a bonus.

Tripod + image editor. But you couldn't even tell in a million years my pic above is from the 360!

Dave the Nord, just having mastered glass forging. Until recently he had a nasty case of perma-arrow in the shoulder, but after several days he got that taken care of. After almost 80 hours, he has only been to four cities in Skyrim.

I envy you guys who haven't even been to some of the cities. It's a fun time discovering and exploring those. Not that I'm burnt out on them, but once you've discovered all the dark secrets of their citizens, the shine wears off a bit.

Thorvald the Nord was starting to feel pretty overpowered, so I decided to change things up. Here's Mrs. Whiskers:

So far I've been focusing on Destruction, Conjuring, Enchanting, Light Armor, and a little Two Handed action when the mana bar runs out. Also, I'm still adjusting to a light-armored caster after playing a heavy armor sword & board character, so Mrs. Whiskers also specializes in Running The Hell Away - preferably while her Flame Atronach takes care of the problem. She's also been stealing everything she can get her paws on, because Mrs. Whiskers is kind of an asshole.

This is Keila

Are you having any graphical problems with the Forsworn gauntlets and boots? Lately the gauntlets have been invisible on my character and instead of the boots, he's wearing foot rags. They mysteriously reappeared last night but tonight they're gone again. Effects are still active, thankfully, my guy just looks a lot poorer and less badass than he should.

It's cool to see non-human races on here. I was wondering earlier if people used them much when choosing their characters.

Crikey, she looks all kinds of bestial and badass in that pic! Nice job.

Not that it probably matters but it's the quest reward 'old gods' set you get as a quest reward. But no, have not noticed anything.

Sorry, yeah, that's what I meant. Hopefully the patch resolves it for me, but at least it's just a visual bug.

OK, new character theme time! This is Ghostclaw. She focuses on stealth, illusion and necromancy. She does not like to get her hands dirty and will let others do the fighting for her when at all possible. She has contracted vampirism and since she already felt like an outcast in Skyrim decided not to fight the change and embrace the lifestyle of a vampire.

Here you can see that she is not too happy to be out in the daylight. Also that slaughterfish looked at her the wrong way.

After making my last character way too overpowered I decided to start again with a concept that will give me a little more challenge. Started with the idea that staying as a vampire will make it a bit more difficult to play. Having to manage feeding often to keep from getting vampirism to stage 4.

I am also not allowing her to take any perks from the combat trees. That means no armor, no melee and no archery. Most of my combat will be through stealth and poisoning targets. Also she will use fury and raise corpses when at all possible. If all else fails she will switch to her fists or use some destruction magic if she absolutely has to.

This is the planned build if she manages to max out all her skills.

Here is my new character! Yes, this is my fifth character and I feel no shame. Forgive the reticle!
