Trying to get through this game one more time before I ship out to boot in January as an Argonian named "Clever Girl" (+5 to those who got that) However Since it came out I am an axe/mace wielding with High bow and light armor skills Nord who was orphaned as a child by the Imperials for his parents being Talos worshippers and speaking against the Empire's war with the Elven dominion. Raised by likeminded relatives he was caught while actually trying to join the stormcloaks. Altho he harbors some bad feelings to elven kin, he is as kind to anyone who shows honor and isnt an imperial...

I wandered Tamriel with my father who taught me how to live the life of a Nordic berserker. This life mostly involves using a great sword to hunt deer, smithing and enchanting your own weapons, making your own food and potions from whatever you find lying around, being maddeningly devoted to Talos, and being all around crazy. During our wanderings we wound up in the imperial city when the Dominion attacked. My father died trying to protect the city. I returned to Skyrim to deal with my father's remains in the traditional way. When I crossed the border the Imperials seized me and everything I had with me, including my father's remains. That is also when I first heard that the Empire had surrendered and banned Talos worship. I've been killing Imperial scum ever since.
Black-Ice, an Argonian abnormally well-suited for the colder climes of Skyrim, was captured after a bear had slashed up his face. The Stormcloaks saved him, but he was unconscious at the time. Typically preferring to go unnoticed, he immediately turned towards Riften the moment he left Helgen.
My Nord named Aer' Shalen has a very interesting history. He keeps to himself, is very quiet and secluded, doesn't have bloodthirsty rage, and doesn't know who he should support in the war. He grew up in a small village in Skyrim where his parents secretly practiced magic. Every day he would be taught a new lesson and better discipline. However, the village did not encourage magic, and they killed anyone caught practicing it. He was caught and ran from the village. He stole a horse, a month's supply of food, and took off, trying to cross the border into Cyrodiil, when he was caught by Imperials and brought to his execution...

Dark Elf going by the name Odin Neravar, after being setup by a High Elf he received a scar over his left eye while trying to escape a trap. The scar caused his eye to turn a milky white and he got a tattoo over the eye to distract from the damage. He has a distinct ability to determine where the power is and how to grab it, and the ambition to become one of the most powerful men in Skyrim.
Faye Silvant the Bosmer, a specialist in, well, 'acquiring' items.
She was caughtpickpocketing acquiring in a town very close to the Skyrim border.
The two guards, instead of arresting her, attempted to rape Faye. Unfortunately for them, Faye also dabbles in a little assassination.
Needless to say, she needed to get the hell out of Dodge, and Skyrim was the closest exit...

Jurasic park the hunter last comment before he gets eaten by raptors, now I wan't my +5Vandenberg1 said:
My Khajit was the same one of which i played as in Oblivion except he... umm... KNOCKED his hed! (Yeah, that's it) and learned to dual wield things and lost all of his heavy armor skill.
Lotsa Imperial hate
My Breton, Jaladus Rosehall, comes from a wealthy family of traveling merchants. His father mentored him in the arts of tact and diplomacy, and had a bright future ahead of him. After a few bad deals and a huge streak of bad luck, he ended up being a dealer of exotic slaves, as well as other things like moon sugar and skooma. After avoiding the imperials for years, they finally caught him trying to cross into skyrim with a rather large shipment of skooma. While being quite the rebel himself, he believes that the empire should retain control of Skyrim.

My Imperial Agent is a special agent for the empire, sent to skyrim to help the legion black ops style. Because of conflicting intel, I was caught and to be killed by the very organisation I was helping. That's where the dragon comes in. I play dual-wielding shield, because I have spent over a decade practicing with the monk order of the confused turtle. Now I lost all my equipment and I'm burned out and have to start in the legion from scratch to build up confidense so that they give me the important missions I came to skyrim to help them with.
My Bosmer is a selfindulgent asshole. Anything that makes him rich/powerful/awesome he'll do. He helped with the rebellion just to cause trouble for other folks, he reckons Ulfric will be an awful high king. Alduin is the means to an end to get himself proclaimed a great hero and maybe (no doubt after the game concludes and well past anything I'll actually be able to do in game) take the throne for himself. He'll be a terrible king but an awesome evil overlord.

Born on a certain day to uncertain parents, Siona Nerevar is a Breton sorceress who was originally an orphaned street urchin/pickpocket in the Imperial City. She was thrown in the Imperial Prison for getting caught at 14, and was released from prison three years later and taken... to Morrowind.
Upon arrival, she was sent to Caius Cosades, and beat the Morrowind main quest, becoming Dark Elf Jesus AKA the Nerevarine. Paying attention to Caius' instructions to have a cover identity, Siona rose through the ranks of the Mages' guild and the Morag Tong, eventually becoming Arch-Mage and Grand Master, respectively (both achieved before she became Nerevarine). Eventually, Ranis Athrys, Guild Guide of the Balmora Mages Guild, heads a conspiracy to get rid of Siona and replace her as head of the Morrowind Mage's Guild. Obviously, people are going to notice that the Nerevarine is missing, so Ranis claims Siona is on a journey to Akavir to avoid suspicion. In reality, she is under armored guard in a coma and wakes up back in the Imperial City Prison. Again. She tries to break out, but quickly discovers that the potion that put her to sleep also reduced her to level one.
Not long after, Siona leaves jail when Emperor Uriel Septim and his Blade escort try to escape the city through a secret passage found in her cell. She witnesses the Emperor's assassination, and sets off to beat the Oblivion main quest. When she succeeds and is named Champion of Cyrodiil, she joins the mage's guild and the fighter's guild and quickly rises to the top of both, although she continues to explore the countryside and do quests in her spare time. After an undetermined amount of time spent this way, she goes through a strange door in the Nibenay basin and is never seen again, although rumors soon start spreading among Daedric cultists that Jyggalag, Daedric Prince of Order has returned, and there may be a new Prince of Madness.
Two hundred years after the Oblivion Crisis heralds the beginning of the Fourth Era, Siona Nerevar is seen once more, slaying dragons in the frozen land of SKYRIM. Gazing down from her lofty immortal throne in the Shivering Isles as the Madgod, she notices the plight of the human Empire of Tamriel and its humiliating defeat at the hands of the Aldmeri Dominion. The portion of her mind that remembers her time spent as Nerevarine and Champion of Cyrodiil (who, don't forget, were both members of the Blades) is deeply angered at the banning of Talos worship. She decides to send a portion of her now-divine self to Tamriel as a level one semi-mortal avatar, who lands near the Skyrim border. After bumping into the wrong side of an Imperial raid on some Stormcloak rebels, including the would-be High King himself, she is saved by a curiously-timed dragon attack.
After escape, she hears more about what Ulfric Stormcloak stands for, and decides to meet him. He quickly proves himself to be a racist n'wah and a selfish fetcher, and Siona Nerevar joins the Imperial Legion to serve the Empire for the third time in over two centuries.

tl:dr, I recreated my morrowind character for Oblivion, and have now recreated her again for Skyrim.

Dar'Khali the Khajit was getting really fucking sick of being a thalmor slave.
Like, really really sick of it.
In a particularly angry fit with his master, his master attempts to lightning bolt Dar'Khali into submission, but the crafty khajit had learned enough magic to turn the tables.
On the run, Dar'Khali goes North, where he is caught crossing the border...

Smaug the Dark Elf is a refugge from the Red mountain explosion and is trying to find his family. (internet cookie for anyone who gets the fantasy reference)
Teinaava, Argoninan, descendant of champion of Cyrodiil and Divine Crusader, Leaps-Through-Shadows.
He looked up to his ancestor a lot, amazed at how open he was about once being with the Dark Brotherhood and his eventual turning away from it. He traveled Tameriel hoping to make a name for himself as his ancestor once did. When crossing Skyrim's boarder he used a less than legal method which leads us to the games intro.
[Everything past this point is in-game development.]
During his escape of Helgen Teinaava discovered his talent for magic and found his way to Winterhold to train this power. while studying he grew a close bond with his Dunmer classmate Brelyna Maryon. They started traveling together and eventually married.
Like his ancestor before him Tienaava was faced with a chance to join the Dark Brotherhood after performing a murder he deemed to be just, unlike Leaps-Through-Shadows though, he took it upon himself to put an end to the organisation from the start rather than aiding them.
During all this he discovered his destiny as DOVahKiiN and while he and his wife aid the Blades, they do not consider themselves members of the group, they have too many ties with other factions to allow them to truly become members.
He has also taken the quest of tracking down all deadric artifacts his ancestor had wielded.
(This is probably written terribly, I apologise.)
(Also yes I named him after that Teinaava, but in-game there is no connection between them other than my Oblivion character having connections to both.)
