For me, the easiest alternative is a sneak archer, light armor, one-handed. That gives you a long-range attack without magic, stealth and a choice of shield or second weapon.
Merchant? He could sneak through dungeons, sneak attacking whenever unavoidable. Travel lightly, sell everything possible. High speech, maybe high alchemy. Medium one-handed and sneak. That could be interesting
Here's my 2 cents, but there's already plenty of good ideas.
How about as Ysgramor's heir? Grab a two-handed axe and get to work with the companions. Join up with the Stormcloaks and liberate Skyrim from the elves and their puppets, the imperials. Do any other work that helps the Nords of Skyrim and become a thane of all the holds. If you're ok with shouts, then do the main quests and learn as many shouts as possible, and use them against the dragons.
Just stick to all the warrior perks. Magic is for elves, and sneaking is for milk-drinkers!
