This if for all you roleplayers out there

I was playing the other day and I thought about how my character, Breeva, always carries a piece of fresh lavender with her, purely because she likes the smell.

Also, in her assassin days, she used to leave a Nightshade beside her victims body for a reason that would be a spoiler for my story

There are more, but i was wondering about you guys? Any quirky little things that your character does?

Mine really likes punching people in the mouth XD

Haha! Breeva isn't very good with her fists She seems to miss every time she tries, so she gave up. She much prefers her Blade of Woe

Lothran doesn´t carry anything specific with him other than his Dark Dagger of course, or Snowflake when he stays in Bruma which he does every winter. Prior to that he stays a month or two in the Imperial City, to prepare for the journey north.
Other than that he carries a limited amount of arrows when using a bow (max 20) and as he hated the plus sign in the center of his vision I had to remove that

A few years ago something interesting happened in Anvil. Suddenly he was fed up carrying around all the town guide books, 400 lockpicks, 10 torches etc so he decided to drop it all in a crate for anyone to take. He also sold and re-bought an expensive item to get rid of too much gold at Morvayn´s. Nowadays he travels much lighter and couldn´t be happier

I may have forgotten a thing or two...

My character dislikes wearing shoes...

The buckskinned elf exited the general store and paused to survey the beautiful morning and share the strawberries she had just bought with a dear, but fashion-impaired, friend who was temporarily down a bit on her luck.

She then continued toward the destination of her next errand – important business with the county’s ruling nobility. Approaching the castle’s guard, she lifted a fist and disappeared. Less than a minute later, the same elf – now dressed in silken finery – materialized from a cloud of magic over the same spot.

As a small hand touched the door to the great hall, her head turned sharply to the left. “Oooh! Is that a butterfly?”

Silk, dragon’s tongue, flax and even nightshade all joined the butterfly in dancing from flower to flower.

Quirks? Nah.

None of my characters can manage to stay out of trouble, or resist stealing.

Buffy, the Great Butterfly Hunter

Your characters are insane and a mess XD

I know that and I'm proud

Interesting thread!

My now-dead character Azi Nattan always wore a redwort petal at her belt, she believed it brings her luck.

Falador has quite some quirks... he always sleeps with his dagger Sufferthorn close, either on the second pillow (in beds for two) or right next to the bed/bedroll so he can grab it easily if attacked while sleeping. The only exception is his hideout, where he places Sufferthorn in the chest (he always locks the hideout from inside so there's no way anyone could enter). And he also didn't sleep next to his dagger in brotherhood sanctuary.

Next, he is sort of obsessed with hourglasses, he always has to know what time it is. So he always carries an hourglass. If he by chance finds additional hourglasses e.g. in inn rooms, he places them all over the room.

He never carries more than 50 arrows but usually it's around 40. He never carried more than 20 (I think but I'm not sure) lockpicks but since he has Skeleton key, he doesn't need any more lockpicks.

Oh and of course, he almost always wears black hood which is in fact called Necromancer's hood. Except in cold regions he sometimes equips fur helmet called Cursed helmet of Mania which he found on Bandit Ringleader close to Fort Urasek some time ago.

Aww how cute! Hehe.

Another couple for Breeva; she often keeps a flower in her inventory that she likes to wear in her hair (imagination, haha).

Also she smokes (We imagine she crushes tobacco into a pipe, which is a paint pot. Haha) although the smoking isn't good for her, she finds it helps her with her concentration whilst she is aiming a stealthy shot... she just hopes her victim doesn't smell the smoke! I'm trying to wean her off the tobacco... but I've had no luck as of yet

Kayla has an especial hatred for vampires.

derp. XD

Grr... who doesn't! Well... Breeva has a tolerance for one, seeing as she lived with him for a while... but other than that, grr... who doesn't hate vampires?

I like vampires and werewolves

... We forgive you KoB Hehehe

Well, with a name like Buffy, you can imagine how my elf feels about vampires. They give her cramps.

She might even say that vampire's suck...

Geez. No one would ever get along with Draken or Raven . . .they'd sooner stone them and stake them right after they burned them.

Hmm, their quirks? They love to sleep on stone slabs. They carry bottles of human blood with them all the time.

Thank god you're in this thread! Someone else who likes vampires and werewolves!

Aravi's a were-cat but she doesn't like it... and she's been a vampire hunter long before the Dawnguard got organized.

Can't say I agree with Aravi on that

It's a gift!

I LIKE VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES!! Kayla just doesn't!! XD

I have a bone to pick with her

Well, she doesn't like vampires. She's fine with werewolves.

She wouldn't like Aravi as a werewolf! She has control issues... Anything that moves is food to that wolf.

She refuses to deal with werewolves in wolf-form XD

Smart woman.

They have a tendency to be chompy.

Indeed they are.

Hey, can't trust them even in mortal form.

Adding one Lothie quirk: Everytime he encounters a moderate sized stone he just has to jump up on it! Even while wandering around in the woods and enjoying the scenery he feels the need to do this.

Or is it my quirk...?

Niamh?
Quirks?
...nah...

Preposterous!

I'll have to agree. TOTALLY normal girl there XD

Maybe some minor quirks. Nothing too noteworthy though.

Lissa's quirks? Too many to list... but here goes!

1. She hates using a blade; she detest's the feeling of slicing through flesh.

2. She ALWAYS carries her beloved sapphire bracelet around with her... (not like it's SPECIAL or anything )

3. She always goes for an hour jog through the forest for a couple of hours each morning; unless she is at home in Anvil as then she will more than happily jog around town

4. Her favorite space is the little pond near her manor in anvil. We have had many conversations where she sits on the deck and converses about her day.

5. She is allergic to lavender.

6. She is strictly vegetarian.

My last Oblivion character, Valune, refused to shell out money to sleep in Inns. And because I refused to let her use healing potions and because she refused to use magic (we are two stubborn people) that meant she could only regenerate health by sleeping on unowned bedrolls in the wilderness.

By the time that game was over I swear I had memorized the exact locations of every unowned bedroll in Cyrodiil.

hmmm, a selection:

She's a vegetarian Bosmer with a set of canines designed for tearing flesh - (she actually does have them and you can see them in the "talky" shots).
She has a woeful disregard for personal hygiene - (although that's getting better, more out of necessity than anything else) - and she's none too fussy about getting her kit off, or indeed where.
Niamh's not so much a Kleptomaniac but if she ever visited your house - (which would in itself be "interesting") - you'd best off check your valuables, but by then it would be too late.
She has a habit of only sleeping 1 to 2 hours in every 24 whilst she's out and about, and subsequently will consistently experience a collapse into an exhausted 10 to 12 hour sleep when she gets home - (although lately there tends to be a little less sleeping ifyouknowhatimean ).
She's a bit of a Skooma addict but she tends to imbibe it mixed with beer; on the subject of eating and drinking she tends to only eat when literally about to pass out through hunger, and is arguably what we would term as "dangerously malnourished" - (NOT to be interpreted as "elegantly wasted") - although again, Luciana is looking to address this.
Um...
Oh yeah, the penchant for body piercing and tattoos IS a quirk in her Cyrodiil, even though it might not be in yours.
She sleeps, even now, with a knife under her pillow and another on the floor beside the bed, just in case...

that'll do for now.

Lothran has recently added a quirk which most of you already know of; whenever he meets a friend of his he coronates them, making sure he will see them again!

Coronates?

Yeah, making them essential. They get a crown then instead of the regular Talk symbol

Or maybe Coronas?

Darnand (mage) carries a supply of writing materials and books everywhere.

Jerric also carries books. Some are Darnand’s, some are his. Though Jerric will never be counted among the great scholars of Tamriel, he does like to read.

Something quirky about my dunmer..

He keeps carrying around some of those notes you can find. You know "Go to the end of the street.." and such. I have no idea why, maybe he thinks they can come in handy if he ever finds those places

Mirocu - Haha how funny


I think I posted earlier in the thread, but I'll post some more

1.Lissa has a habit of changing her hair. A lot, colour more than style. She is currently a red head... but is thinking about going blonde next.

2. She never uses detect life when in dungeons. She likes the thrill of never knowing what's around the corner.

3. When on an errand, she travels on her horse, Crystal. But when generally exploring she tends to go on foot. All the time.

Lycus' quirks are:

1. No magic. Doesn't any destruction, alteration, mysticism, illusion spells. He does use restoration but only moderately. His magic is more wild, dealing with natural energies of the world(yes, that's lore). He's a warrior with a bit of shamanism to him.

2. Uses sword, shield and shortswords for battling two or more enemies. Uses bows and arrows, but mostly to hunt.

3. Lycus hunts a lot. He picks flowers, but he's mostly eating venison and meats with some herbs and plants. He always has food with him.

4. Isn't caught up in the latest fashion. He could be the richest person in Nirn, but he'll only wear modest low-class clothing and in some cases, middle-class if the occasion calls for it.

5. Bathes everyday in Lake Rumare or in a river.

mirocu - Buffy tends to keep those notes too, but puts them in the desk in her apartment at the University.

Rihanae - That's funny - Buffy changes her hair style all the time, but never the color. Dungeon crawling without detect life?!? Not my elf!

DE - Lycus don't need no stinking magic! He's seven feet tall and can turn into a werewolf! Oh, nice to hear that he bathes regularly. I was afraid maybe all he did was lick his paws or such.

So far I've only got one two major quirks to report for Tarvyn:

Everytime he comes across a waterfall, even if it's one he's seen before, he sits down and just watches it for a while. He'd never seen a waterfall before coming to Cyrodiil, so he's always in awe of them.

And he's something of a hoarder when it comes to alchemy. He's currently carrying nearly a hundred steel blue entolomas, enough ingredients for maybe two dozen restore health potions, and probably has enough to craft 50 poisons.
