In The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, why is your character being led to his execution?

[MadCapMunchkin]

He asked why Oblivion was such a poor game in comparison to Morrowind.

...alright, alright, I'll be serious. He was attempting to rob the Vvardenfell home of my Morrowind character (what, Red Mountain erupted and covered the island in Ash? Bull!). Because the Nerevarine has a sense of humor, he wants the future Dovahkiin executed in Skyrim, in one of the coldest regions.

He's a hero, but I never said he was a good guy...

Well you see my elder scroll characters are all the same guy a spell sword who keeps getting depowered and thrown in prison for a lot of reasons.
So what happened after he became the prince of madness? Well he got bored and he decide to use all of his power he gained thanks to the rule to become the new leader of the empire. it worked out until people realized the fact that he was the leader of the thief?s guild and the dark brotherhood and the prince of madness people were not happy. So he had to flew the gate to the shivering isle was closed. even so he was still immortal he lived for 200 years long after everybody had forgotten him.
Beside one guy in skyrim who decide to cause him lots of trouble so the guy was murdered in broad daylight while he was calling for guards. It isn?t really a problem because he can murder the entire city but the gods of leveling changed the way you level up thereby causing him to lose all his powers.
And that?s the story of my character??.I?m going to do a freeman mind style let?s play of the elder scroll franchise now.

 

[Prestige]

Something involving nutshots, flipping the bird (or some equivalent), and a broom.

 

[Slash Dementia]

I don't really know...

The male Nord (my character) ran a black market smuggling operation, in which he would find and kill anyone and cut out their organs. He would do this for both food and profit, and was schizophrenic and a cannibal. Once money picked up, the Nord started to want a challenge, so he kidnapped a wealthy government official's son and cut his organs out, but he was followed. The following day, the Nord was found in his home with a basement full of tools and several different organs floating in mana potion. He was arrested and to be executed.

Or...I'd just use the short story I wrote about a man going to be executed.

 

[Kenko]

He was hired to assassinate a Bosmer in the Imperial City who kept stalking the Arena Champion.

Oh man, that cracked me up. Thanks for making my day ^^

OT: For torching an orphanage, claiming it attacked him first.

I see what you did there...
it was a lfg reference right?

Indeed it was! ^^

 

[Irriduccibilli]

After being found naked with an erect penis, beside 3 lubed up midgets and a goat... in a kindergarten

So a while ago we got a poll for your crimes in Oblivion, now I ask you, why is your character in Skyrim being led to his execution?

Way back in ye olden days, a blind man was granted the gift of knowledge by Sheogorath. The sheer volume of information drove the man insane. He spent the remainder of his life transcribing his gift onto the walls, floor and ceiling of a cave he stumbled across afterwards.

This man's writings and drawings were discovered by my character, an Ork, as a child. Using the knowledge depicted therein, he involved himself (mostly hindering) in a number of affairs of ill-repute. As one might imagine, several people were unhappy with his involvement.

Eventually, after almost a year of interfering with illicit operations, my character finally crossed the line and slew a minor leader of the Dark Brotherhood. In response, the Brotherhood put out a hit. The contract paid well enough that my character couldn't stay in the same place for more than 6 hours without being attacked.

After a few weeks of that, just barely keeping ahead of the assassin's, my character finally stumbles into Skyrim. At the same time, a sizable group of Dark Brotherhood caught up with him. Battle followed, ending only when the Nord guards of the village intervened, driving off the Brotherhood. Unfortunately, my character was lost in bloodlust and unthinkingly struck down one of the guards.

The remainder of the guards piled on and restrained my character. After a swift and decisive trial, my character was sentenced to death by beheading.

Very good. Very, very cool story. Finally someone who didn't fuck anything to get arrested

 

[Adamc-mh]

I will go with Yathzee: Shagging the Thane's wife and daughter whilst playing a rock-guitarr-solo on the corpse of god.

Damn it, that's what I was going with.

Well I'll go with the rose of sanguine quest running into a royal par-tay and casting a spell to make everyone naked. One of my favourite quests along with a few other daedra lord quests

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

He stole a runabout.

Turns out somebody knew.

 

[Chaza]

I don't know? I have no imagination.

Erm. He was imprisioned for looking at a guard the wrong way?

 

[StrappingYoungLad]

Rape and Pillage!

 

[Inithra]

She burnt down an orphanage. At night. It was full of blonde haired blue eyed little girls.

 

[Naeo]

He found out what happened to Jiub. But the emperor couldn't have that little state secret get out, now, could he?

He died defending Morrowind from Daedra from the Oblivion Gate crisis.

Oh no. That's just what the Empire wants you to think.

 

[Feylynn]

Being contaminated by corrupt magics or something similar she framed herself for.
She's going to be a sort of "Demonic Jester" Archetype who's primary motive appears to be good, true, and helpful to all.
The key difference is that the helping people is an amusing upset of balance and little more because the character possesses basically no morals. I think the framing herself is something I'll spin as appearing the martyr before she's inevitably freed as she certainly won't actually die here.

I'm playing a free magic construct from an alternate plane that seeps into our world, becomes loved, fights for freedom and justice, claims rewards and builds magic, learns the intricacies of the plane.
Once she's seeded 'freedom' across the world and regained the magics she had in her home she can uproot authority and collapse the realm around her, rising to control it, fragment her psyche, and seed other realms with the shards of her mind.

In this realm she has had the fortune to posses one of the Dragon Born, who will ultimately bleed some more color and some basic morals into the character.

 

[Saulkar]

My guy boned the Argonian maid and then bragged about it to her master!

CAPTCHA: hoity-toity. How fitting.

 

[That One Six]

My character, an Imperial merchant who did some spy work on the side, was on his way to complete a mission. He was hired to spy on a minor Skyrim noble that was suspected of plotting against the throne. The castle was on top of a steep hill, so my guy, Galaen Sixius (I'm narcissistic, leave me alone), grabbed a walking stick that was leaning against a tree to help him keep pace.

Unfortunately for Mr. Sixius, the stick turned out to be the infamous Wabbajack, which, for some reason, was activated by sneezing. The minor noble was having a feast with lots and lots of pepper involved, and Sixius happened to walk in right as three dozen people sneezed simultaneously. Needless to say, shit went down.

After the newts, feathers, and flaming dogs cleared, Sixius was found unconscious surrounded by cabbages. The guards arrested him out of sheer confusion, and the Nordic tradition is very clear - confusion + newts = she's he's a witch! Burn him!

 

[Mr. Grey]

Apparently during a time of crisis... you're not allowed to pretend you're the Emperor.

 

[Warlord211]

I stole all of the paintbrushes in Cyrodill and proceeded to make a ladder with them that defied gravity. The commoners accused me of witch craft. I tried to escape into Skyrim, but was found when I killed everyone in all the cites.

 

[zarix2311]

He destroyed the world in the future by traveling back in time and killing his greatX10 grandfather thus annihilating the future and forever changing the course of all life and turning the world into the world of Elder Scrolls you see in the game. And to explain how he got in jail, afterwards he felt so guilty and told the every guard he could find then beat his head against a wall to make the pain stop, they said he was stark raving mad and locked him up until the yet unknown events of Skyrim.

 

[Flip-Shying]

He was conning people with a game of Three Card Monte. He is the inventor of the game and the first person to be executed for playing it.
