What kind of character do you roleplay? What build? What is his/her background story? What is the motif? What are the goals in Skyrim? The motif of my newest character was to be a neutral or chaotic evil person who wreaks havoc in Skyrim and attempts to destroy it through strategic and intelligent means like a mastermind instead of through brute means like maybe a stupid orc would do. This character is a young female Altmer named Lilitha who has a natural talent in all of the arcane and combat arts as well as crafting. Her build is a Heavy Amor wearing, Destruction magic and Sword weilding Battlemage but she also likes to switch to Knight, Warrior, Mage, and Assassin/Thieve builds every now and then. She likes to craft and enchant weapons and armor and brew potions, generally to increase her skill in those areas as well as to suplement herself. She lost both her parents when they died fighting against the Empire and she has since borne hatred towards all humans with the exception of some Bretons. When she came of age she enlisted into the Thalmor and became a regular soldier for sometime but was recognized as "special" by the Thalmor intelligence and espionage agency so she was placed into a program that would train and prepare her to become a sleeper agent within Skyrim. The Thalmor wanted the civil war between the Stormcloak rebels and the Empire to weaken both sides enough so that the Almeri Dominion could easily invade and conquer Skyrim and a large portion of the Empire in the initial strike. It was preferable that the Empire did not win (although not necessarily that the Stormcloaks should win either) so that an independent but weakened Skyrim would fall more easily. Lilitha along with another were the only high elves in the program considering the Empire and Nords would be most suspicious of them being Thalmor spies, therefore, the program was made up mostly of Bosmer and Khajiit. The group of spies was split and sent to Skyrim through different entries as sleeper agents who would live their life normally until given instructions by the Thalmor. Lilith however was given the mission of ensuring that the Stormcloaks win the war forcing the Empire to retreat from Skyrim. Lilith was placed in Cyrodiil and made to enter through the Falkreath Hold as a traveler and in time enlist in the Stormcloak army. Coincidentally, she was caught in an Imperial ambush to capture Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak himself and feared that she was going to die at the hands of the same bastards who killed her parents. Just then as she looked up to the executioner with resent and disgust she saw a dragon in the sky. The dragon attacked Helgen and inadvertently saved her where she attempted to escape and assisted a Stormcloak soldier named Ralof who then suggested she join the Rebellion. She joined the Stoarmclocks after finding out that she is dragonborn, information which she relayed to the Thalmor. The Thalmor allowed her to continue investigating the manner but reminded her that her priority was the mission given to her. She was ordered to infiltrate the Thieves Guild specifically in order to have access to their network of spies and information and also ordered her to investigate the matter of the Aretino boy and the black sacrament in Windhelm while she was there. This lead to her involvment with the Dark Brotherhood which she ultimately joined. When she found out about Alduin the World Eater and her fate as Dragonborn the Thalmor decided that she must defeat Alduin, however, she was still expected to finish her mission of ensuring Stormcloak victory before pursuing this task. After the war ends with the victory of the Stormcloaks and the defeat of Alduin, the Thalmor give her a new assignment with documents describing an elaborate scheme to manipulate Aumund Motierre into seeking a contract with the Dartk Brotherhood in order to assassinate the Emperor Titus Mede II. Lilith fails in her first assassination attempt on the Emperor as she was betrayed by the leader of her sanctuary but she ultimately succeeds in assassinating the Emperor. Afterwards she is ordered to assassinate Motierre in order to "tie up loose ends", ironically, even the late emperor asks her to kill the one who made the contract with her. In the end Thalmor orders for her are to remain in Skyrim as a sleeper agent until she is needed again. Well that was my long story about my character :D What is your character like? What is the background story?
