Hi guys, i just thought that to help people out who are starting out a new account on skyrim, that people could write about what race they play as and what build they use, e.g. Assassin, Warrior, etc.
Im currently using an Illusionist Assassin/Thief playing as a Khajiit, as they have highest sneak to start off with :)
 
My Master Vampiric Assassin is a bloodthirsty killer thats spares no one. He is an Imperial that has been shunned by society for far to long and gets back at them with the only way he knows how, Bloodshed and Pain. When he isn't homicidal, he spends his days feeding on the blood of the most delectable humans and exploring all of Skyrim. He's level 53 and will make it to 81 with more bloodshed.
 
I Currently play

Effect: Vampirism
Race: Altmer (High elf)
Class: Mage
Build:Necromancer

Perks He Currently Has.

Betrayed by his high elf brothers and tortured at the hands of the thalmor.Escaping to skyrim he is mistaken for someone else.where he meets ralof.They start talking and he eventually askes him to join the stormcloaks.Wanting revenge on his high elven brothers/imperials for trying to execute him he gladly accepts.Which is the start of his homicidal rage towards imperials.He is level 50 atm and has killed about 20 people so far.
 
Current Build:

Race: Breton Female Vampire
Characteristics: Heavily Scarred, blood eye style war paint, Jamaican braid hair
Class: Magic User: Illusion/Destruction, Robes of Destruction.
Key Mods: Better Magic, Female Vampire Eye Fix, True Vampirism, Apache Hair, Mercy
Guilds: Mage's College (WIP)

I turned her into a vampire at level 1. Now her face and neck is ashen and pockmarked. Definitely not pretty to look at but nice vampire effect. Weak during the day, effective at night. Expert difficulty seems to keep the magic power in check. Master difficulty makes the magic too weak.

Play Style: While a vampire, strangely my game play has resulted in her having a more benevolent nature. She is friendly to NPCs - especially to those she feeds on regularly. Almost kind of territorial about it. Very much on the fence about what side to help in the civil war. The mercy mod allows me to spare those who yield. This is great for making vampire dens safe havens where I'm not alone.
 
I want to PLAY ALL THE BUILDS and am slowly working my way through a list of characters I've planned out, after two "I don't know what the heck I'm doing or what class I'm supposed to be" playthroughs. Currently I'm playing:

Rowan: A Bosmer archer with a side of magic. She uses only a bow for offense, and wears robes which she augments with Alteration armor spells and perks. Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold. Good at heart, she only kills when she must, never steals, and helps others as much as possible. Playing into Bosmer lore, she's also a strict carnivore, and cannibalizes her slain foes.

Gallifrey: A Dunmer mage who strictly uses fire-based Destruction spells and Flame Atronachs in battle; eventually he'll be conjuring Dremora as well. He also wears robes and uses Alteration armor spells and perks. Working his way up the ranks of the Dark Brotherhood. Evil as can be, he causes mayhem at every opportunity, and enjoys killing. I imagine him as a Mythic Dawn cultist, worshipping and championing the Daedric Princes, and collecting their artifacts. I'm also considering making him a vampire, but if I do it won't be until much later in his game.

And characters in reserve:

Annika: A Nord warrior who wields greatswords, wears heavy armor, and dabbles in Restoration magic. Her loyalty lies with Ulfric Stormcloak; she returned to Skyrim for the sole purpose of joining the rebellion. (I have a pretty detailed backstory for her.)

Marius: An Imperial warrior who wields a sword and shield, plus a bow for ranged battle, and wears light armor. Fights for the Imperial Legion. Being of noble heritage, he has no crafting skills and refuses to learn trades that are "beneath" him; he'll only be able to use gear and potions he buys, finds, or is given.

Khayman: A Khajiit thief who dual-wields daggers and uses a bow for ranged attacks. Wears Thieves Guild armor only. Will bring the Thieves Guild back to its former glory, and then some. Because nobody in Skyrim trusts a Khajiit, merchants (aside from Tonillia) will refuse to deal with him; he can only use gear and potions he crafts, steals, or is given.
 
Name: Ignis Dux
Race: Breton
Obsessed with all things daedric and very much insane this Level 35 conjuration master uses a bound sword in one hand and flames in the other, and always keeps a flame atronach close at hand. He's already destroyed the empire in Skyrim, and killed the emperor in revenge for the so called "oblivion incident". He hopes to one day champion over the land as a newborn daedric lord.
 
I've made several different characters but my main two are:


Meowington
Race: Khajiit
Level: 44
Class: Assassin
Build: Assassin with Archery, no magic whatsoever
Guilds: Thieves Guild, Nightingales, Dark Brotherhood


Estireo
Race: Altmer (High Elf)
Level: 35
Class: Mage
Build: Destruction/Restoration with some of all the other branches
Guilds: Imperial Legion, College of Winterhold
 
My personal favorite character of mine was a Telekanisis Assasin!

I would use the normal assasin build, but instead of using archery as my ranged attacks, I used the Telekanisis spell to throw stuff at people undetected. It was hilarious. Just imagine having a casual conversation with your bandit friend, then a shovel comes out of no where and hits you square in the face... :)
 
Current Build:

Race: Imperial
Level:57
Class:Shogun
Name:Rudolf The Black Nose Imperial
Favorite Tune: Rudolf The Troll Slaying Daedra
Born and raised in Cyrodil, Kicked from every school and or household
Rudolf Killed ever family member every aunt,uncle,brother,sister.
He takes no mercy to jab his ebony blade through their heart.
But with all his power and might his only weakness is him being shy.

(Making New One Soon)



(P.S. Im trying to think of a black helmet (except ebony helm) any ideas?)
 
Khajiit Assassin/Thief. But now I'm starting to use Illusion I've become more of a Rogue. Heavy perked in sneak and onehanded dual weild for my daggers. I sneak and 30x most enemy's but also switch to bow for those pesky situations. Also leveling light armour, smithing, enchanting and alchemy. Started on illusion for invisibility at level 27.

Can't kill me because before you know I'm there... Your dead.

Oh my gosh, that sounds beautiful.
 
I don't really understand "Build" and "Class" but I am a Nord (chose it because he looked the closest to me)
I am level 56 with Health Stamina and Magicka all at the same level. Smithing enchanting and speech is at 100+ I switch around between dual daedric axes of fire, soul sapping paralysis and shock/damage magicka. and the daedric longsword.
My other skills are high but not leveled up.
I use destruction magicka and Illusion? I like to cast the Fury illusion to freak out enemies from great distances and make them attack themselves.
I am a werewolf too.
Archery is a must for me. Too bad we can't smith daedric arrows. Even Ebony arrows are scarce to I got the 'recover two arrows from a body' perk.
 
I got two characters going on currently. the one in my sig which will mainly be using werewolf form and...

Harte an Orc (I couldn't think of a good orc name).
He's a dual wielding Orc... with a catch, he's a miner. Dual wield some pickaxes, wears miners clothing, and uses Alteration spells that profit from the miner's life (transmute) and for protection (since he's wearing clothing).
Sucks that I can't improve pickaxes on the grindstone, other than the notched pickaxe, but it's pretty fun. challenging but not as challenging as a pure unarmed character.
 
I currently have 4 characters. Domyy a level 38 assassin. DO NOT SAVE OVER a level 29 paladin. Seph a level 37 Illusion/Assassin. And Rakranos a level 50 pure mage.

I only play on master difficulty and I don't use exploits
