Return to skyrim (new character)

[fortie]

So after a break I have returned to skyrim, downloaded some new mods updated old ones and removed some. Start a fresh new character I was hoping for a few role playing ideas.

 

Thing is I have never been good with the whole backstory part and how they came to be.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Name: Drake Ravencrest

Sex: Male

Race: Nord???

Skills:

One-Handed

Marksman

Illusion

Sneak

Pickpocket

Speech

I have all DLC's also so any info regarding dawnguard and dragon born and reasoning behind it is welcome.

 

Profession:

Thinking something like a Gang Leader so any tips on mods for hideouts jobs armours that sort of thing are also a great help.

 

Gang Leader

 

You can be any of the criminals you want, and you can even make up your own ideas, but have followers, and a hideout. Have a name for your gang and make it relative to something like your favored weapon, or race. You could start a gang called 'The Khajiits', or 'The Swords'. You could engage in any activity you would like. For example; Drug dealing, murder, thievery, and more. Your followers worship you, either because they are drugged up, honor you, or are scared of you. Make sure you wear the same apparel and use the same weapons, unless each person has their own specialty. Most of the things in this idea are optional to the kind of gang you have. Download a follower mod that allows more followers.Start small and make a new character You can then start to get money together and buy a small house and have a follower . Rob houses and sell drugs to people.Create your own drugs using alchemy. Move into a bigger house and get more followers.Design a ranking system and RP extorting each week of business's and use the console once a week for that . Join the thieves guild so you can sell to fences. You could also have a "drug farm" in a farming area . And buy a few drugs and roleplay planting seeds. You could then use the console to add drugs each week.Bribe guards by dropping money closeby. Dont have a farm right inside a village because guards would find it .Lets say a guard raid descovers your drug farm and there is an investigation and one of your people rats and is in protection in dragonsreach. Find him and kill him. Steal from houses and sell to a fence. An example for drugs could be: A drug lab that makes Sleeping tree sap - 75 gold per vial A farm that farms ingredients for skooma - 25 gold per vial You could also extort farms and go as far as corrupting the jarl of a city for a large sum.

 

You would have to Name your gang of course and as it gets bigger move to a bigger house or download a castle mod . Raid Bandits and use their HQ.Murder Officals for messing with your business and kill innocents as a warning to others.Maybe you have "girls" in your HQ.Kill people that look at you wrong just because of who you are. Hide bodies in lakes or maybe bring them out in public. Put a dead body in the local Inn owners bed!Become rich and start to takeover city's.Maybe you get caught by the guards and are offered life in cihlad mine or you rat.Own a big house and keep your drugs in a shelf. Escape from Jail. You could become a drug addict and start to kill people over small things like bumping into you .The possibilites are endless![/url]

 

Please any help is grateful

So you're asking for different play-types then? If you are then try to make a character modeled after what you want to be.

 

For example,

I want to be a Missionary, so my play type is a Traveler.

In real life, no way would I ever walk through Draugr Crypts and fight off every freaking corpse that breaks through.

I'm also very unaggressive so I only fight if hit first. Even if that means circling around people until they take the first swing.

I actually really like this kind of play-through as it feels like you're being submerged into the game as you're playing as who you particularly are.

 

Or if you're looking for some actual role-playing. Try playing a monk who is trying to overcome his lust for power to do good in the world. He falls every once in awhile (becoming Werewolf, or helping a Daedric Lord) but always get's back up (Thane of a city or the classic "Saviour of the World")
