Stormcloaks

[Valkeyere]

To get started here is my character:

 

Name: Greta

Race: Nord

Gender: Female

 

Greta has the blue braveheart facepaint, wears full scaled armour minus the helmet, and uses an iron greatsword.

There is a scar on her cheek given to her by an Empire soldier when sheused to be a barmaid in Morthal.

She refused to spend the night with a soldier, and he went to stike her with his sword.

The stell platter she was holding drew his night to a close and he was carried from the pub by his comrades.

Greta fled Morthal before she was arrested and was apprehended south of whiterun where she was taken to Helgen.

There she was nearly executed alongside the leader of the Stormcloaks.

After a narrow excape from both an execution and a dragon she fled north to Riverwood with a member of the stormcloaks who told her if she wanted to fight alongside Ulric Stormcloak, to head to Windhelm.

 

 

Thats the basic backlog behind my character Greta. Im playing on adept difficulty, aka normal difficulty, and am ensuring that I never become overpowered. if three enemies arent capable of killing me if they attack at once, then its too unrealistic.

Also, if EVERY dragon isnt a life or death situation, its too easy. I want this to be hard as hell, but playable. (Master makes it impossible, especially with light armour and an iron gratsword.)

 

I hope to see other sons and daughters of skyrim post their characters here, with a little backstory perhaps explaining how you also ended up at Helgen, and logic as to how you intend to play - remember, balance is key. You cant be good at everything.

Greta is a terrible archer and is more likely to be one of those pesky people muttering "Careful you dont burn something down with that fire" then casting it. As such she is ighly vulnerable to mages, having no magical offense or defense, and also being terrible at archery. Only real solution is to sneak up on them (lucky she uses light armour, makes it easier) and hope to beat them down before she is incinerated or worse.
