Thanks, Sub! That is interesting how Ayla was scarred by a lion and it turned out to be her own guide. Is her story here in the forums? Send me a link or something. I want to check it out.

Ah and everyone I've been going back into Oblivion. He's my first unafflicted character. Well, unafflicted in the game, I mean.

Who is this guy?

DE, Ayla is the star of a series of six books written by Jean M. Auel through the 1980s and into the 1990s. The series chronicles the fictitious saga of a young girl (Ayla) set on earth some 30,000 years ago. The first book of the series is 'Clan of the Cave Bear'. Wonderful stuff and certainly had an influence on Buffy the Bowgirl and, most likely, some of the other fics here.

Is that Kraven DeQuiteSillius?

Doh. I feel stupid. Well, it if influenced your story and the others it means it is worth checking out. It does sound interesting. Thanks, Acadian.


The less-haired, non-scarred, less-man but every bit of a man Kraven Desselius

I've been trying to get a feel of Cyrodiil again after many years. So I decided to play as him in his home province.

Young Kraven is so handsome! Neat to see him in his early Cyrodiil state.

Thanks! That was my idea. I wanted him to be the opposite of his ugly savage barbarian-esque usual self.

That can't possibly be the human barbarian!

He's looking quite studly! He looks like a rock star. I could never make decent looking males in Oblivion.

This is the closest to a smile I've been able to capture

KC, that is one tough looking elf! More of a smile than that might be out of character for her.

A wry smile, that’s great! She might just have a dry sense of humor. It’s hard to picture a giggly dark elf.

Speaking of grim elves, here’s Nephiah Sarys. She’s a conjurer. Conjured weapons, raised zombies, and the occasional atronach when there’s no fresh kill around. She may be the one who will go for the Corpse Preparation – True Necromancy mod that KC pointed out in the Awesome Mods thread and I’ve been wanting to try. Too early to tell, though.

I really need to get that piercing mod going. She demands adornment.

Heat Miser+The Grinch, perhaps?

You will not see this elf in a Saturalia "Merry Hat."

Grits, I love Nephiah's doo! Looks like she stuck her finger in a storm atronach's belly button!

In Skyrim gravity is a fickle force. It does not affect Nephiah’s hair, nor Jensa’s bosom!

She has the look of a necromancer. Argh, I've misplaced my own necromancer, may have to start a new one.

Here’s a picture of Channah, Redguard ranger. She used to have pretty brown eyes but they went grey when she became a werewolf. Playing a Redguard one-handed fighter is sheer joy from the start. Channah has kept me company during some difficult hours. She’s living in the time of dragons but is not Dragonborn.

When she fights dragons (two so far) she has the sense to hang back and use her bow, unlike some of my short-lived characters. Channah does not have a lot of deep thoughts (likely the influence of her Nord father ), but her background is slowly trickling in as we play.

Channah's a nice looking character and sounds fun. Bow backed up by 1H blade backed up by werewolf.

Channah looks great. Ranger is my favorite playstyle for any TES game

I like having non-dragonborn characters that have to deal with dragons, it's a bit more challenging without the thu'um..

I just wish the game would let you have a few dragons before Mirmulnir, so that you don't have to reveal your capability and start that part of the quest. I have one character who's collected at least twenty words from word walls, and has only encountered that one dragon, plus a a skeletal one, who almost doesn't count (no scales, no soul). So no use of Thu'um, but also no reluctance to fast travel, so I suppose there IS an upside.

She looks great Grits! And I hear she's got a Khajiit side kick!

Channah is a dread-locked cutie. It is nice when characters come together as you play them. Some of mine I know well before I start playing, some of them I get to know as the game goes on. And with some of them neither happens, and they do not get played very long.

She does indeed.

What a delightful looking pair!

Neat Pic! I love the feather, it gives her a very native american look. And I recognize her follower! I hope Kharjo does not get jealous...

I just really like this one, for some reason...

I like the flowers, Phon. Your depth of field (I think?) effect makes it hard for me to see, but the colors are pretty.

New guy: Marius, no last name. Here he’s picking up a Fast Healing spell from the spell vendor and Restoration trainer Abiene in Whiterun. It’s the only spell he uses. He “borrowed” someone else’s clothes for his trip inside the Temple. Usually he’s dressed like this.

I’m using a mod that makes the Thieves Guild harder to join plus one that makes Riften look like a burglar’s paradise, so we’ll see. Also I made Rune a follower, since he was the first TG member to not be a jerk to Marius.

Grits, Marius looks great. I like his dark coloring - perfect for a thief. And how fun that you're trying the life of a thief!

Maybe Marius is his last name, and Gaius is his first? We will know if he reforms Skyrim's military.

Marius looks kind of familiar... Orlando Bloom?

I keep thinking that if he sneezes, it will be a missile attack! What damage does his nose ring do? Did he smith it up yet?

I know the mod you mean about making the TG harder to join. It makes you have to do wacky things like steal stuff to be eligible to join! Unlike in the vanilla game, where Brynjolf thinks every new person in town is a born thief and tries to recruit them.

Acadian, creeping around in the dark is definitely fun! Too bad there’s not much in Skyrim to steal. I might have to hide some things for him, lol.

You’re right, SubRosa, he does look like a pouty Orlando! Good catch. How funny, there’s a Gallus in the TG questline. I wonder if that’s what put Marius’ name into my mind.

The nose ring fortifies his archery. He refused to wear the archery circlet he found even though I knew he was about to go fight a dragon and his AR was around 50, so we cut a deal. Marius is quite a hustler. I enchanted the nose ring, he chucked the circlet into a barrel. I didn’t change it into armor, though. That would set a scary precedent. The Nord would want to fight wearing only an “armor” ring around his… thumb, and I don’t want to get a mod for that!!

At first Marius had a lot of other hardware in his face, but that proved impractical when he had to get into fist fights on behalf of the Guild. (Though he resolved all of the conflicts without actual violence.) Also Rune cleaned him up a little once they put him in a uniform.

In other jewelry news, Valdi is still holding out for a gold nose ring. I saw gold earrings in loot in someone else’s game, so maybe she’ll be tempted by those if she ever finds them. Sir Magul has follower Valdi styled in a long mail dress. I’ll have to get a picture of that someday.

If his face was a liiiiiitle longer, he'd look like Orlando Bloom.

I miss hearing of their adventures.


Very pretty. Is this the way it looks in game or is there a little photoshoppery?


He looks like a thief!

It's an ingame shot!

Eilidh MacAuley - a Bosmer living in Skyrim, recently <ahem> released from Helgen...
She looks a bit better after a wash, but not much...

Phon, that is one unhappy Woodster! Of course I'd be unhappy to be dropped into someplace so cold with that thin Valenwood blood too. I hope she finds the fella she's after for her revenge.

G-Grumpy??

We shall see.
Of course, she has a story as you can imagine and as soon as I have interpreted what she has said and checked through the records as best I can I shall pop up it up on here...

Nope, kind of the same name though...
...this one's from the opposite side of the tracks.

Lycaon Castius. The first Castius who started the ancient bloodline in the Second Era survived by Vera Castius to the fourth. Working on his backstory. His ancestors were the first hunters(from the Dawn Era) who are said to live this day in the Hunting Grounds.

I like the tattoos. Is that an ESO character?

Grits, I think it is.

Aravi in ESO.

Smithing

Horses!

I love how Aravi looks in ESO. Spots! Every time I decide to put it off for a few years I see screens that make me want to play.

Here are a couple of my Skyrim characters who might get mentioned from time to time.

Glugrog gro-Dugwog, orc wanderer. (I promise he is wearing pants.) He’s traveling with all of my previous orc characters as NPCs. Including Big D.

Ninette de L’Enclos, Conjuror-Illusionist. She still needs a little muscle to back her up. To my surprise she hired NPC Jerric. It’s been fun to see him from a stranger’s perspective.

How neat to see some more shots of Aravi in ESO!

Love Ninette - she's adorable! Oh, I think illusion paired with conjuration makes for a magnificent combo!

Glugrog's name sounds like the noise someone might make when chugging ale. Perhaps that is how he got his name?

Ninette looks just like one would imagine, with glasses no less! I suspect she would get along with Darnand very well. At least until she tried to rearrange his library!

Eilidh in her civvies in Solitude...
A girl's gotta relax occasionally.

Had a bit of an overhaul with Lissa. Gave her a new body mod and a mod that clears her skin. I'm still working on a mod to reduce seams... but I think she looks absolutely stunning

Lissa

Lissa is looking good with her new bod!
