How are you Role Playing your character and what's their back story?

ProfessorKittyhawk

Professor Kittyhawk is an adorable, lovable psychopathic murderer of a Khajiit who also happens to cook skooma in his spare time. Many moons ago Professor Kittyhawk was making skooma in the basement beneath an orphanage, as he typically does, when one day he had an accident that resulted in the orphanage burning down. The guards from the local town wound up arresting poor Kittyhawk and threw him into the mines to work the rest of his life. Not content to do hard physical labor the rest of his life, Professor Kittyhawk filed a chicken bone to a nice sharp point to create a shiv. During a routine inspection by the guards, Kittyhawk pretended to be sick, and when a guard came to check up on him, Kittyhawk stabbed him in the neck and cut off his face to wear as a mask before throwing his body down a mine shaft. Soon after some other guards found Kittyhawk and believed him to be their comade who had gotten injured after a cave in. Because of the dank lighting conditions they couldn't see that their comrade had fur and a tail... at least not until it was too late. On the way back to the surface Professor Kittyhawk killed all the guards and escaped to freedom, where he has been traveling the world ever since. Except Markarth. Anywhere but Markarth.

Then there's Florence and the Machine, a lovely Dunmer who used to enjoy excavating caves and delves with her twin brother Gelvin. One day a few years ago they were exploring some Dwemer ruins for the Mages guild when a cave in trapped them inside. Gelvin was more of a bookish type while Flo was a fierce warrior, using flames to sear her enemies to death. They began searching the ruins for another way out, but they were soon beset upon by Dwemer automatons. Florence fought them off as best she could to protect Gelvin, but out of nowhere a Dwemer sphere appeared and prepared to fire a bolt at a preoccupied Florence. Seeing this, Gelvin threw himself in its path and took a bolt right to the chest. Florence quickly dispatched the sphere and ran to her brothers side. In his dying breath Gelvin instructed Florence to look in his bag where she found a journal filled with his notes and an empty soul gem. Inside the journal she found instructions on how to seal a person's soul inside a soul gem, as well as instructions on how to use a filled soul gem to power a dwemer automaton. Realizing what Gelvin wanted her to do, Florence followed the instructions in his journal and sealed Gelvin's soul in the gem before placing it inside the dwemer sphere she had defeated. At first she thought she had failed, but finally the sphere whirred to life and responded to her voice. Upon escaping the ruin and returning to the guild she and Gelvin, now a dwemer sphere, were kicked out for practicing forbidden rituals. So without a guild to call home they began traveling the world. But it soon occurred to Florence that while Gelvin was more or less immortal now, she would continue to age. This fact saddened her, so she sought out a coven of vampires and implored them to turn her into one of them. After completing their trials, she was finally a vampire, and now she and Gelvin travel the world and experience everything it has to offer. Together forever, for all eternity.

Totalitarian

Well, I'm getting somewhat close to finishing a set of stories with the equivalent length of a novel done, all involving my ESO toons, namely my main.

I'm going to format it somewhat nicely and then cry myself to sleep because I can't draw any art for it.


Er...yeah. I'll have to scour the Internet to find places to post it.

Role playing isn't really my thing however I kinda have a backstory to several of my toons.

Dark Hoor - not much is known about her background except that she was found wandering the streets of Davons Watch. She has a particular dislike for sneaky little nightblades.

Swims-in-Vomit - he's a fully fledged Argonian prince (at least he thinks he is). He used to be a pacifist healer on the battlefield but now he's battle retired and crafting himself some heavy armour and planning on tanking his way through the dungeons of Tamriel. He had his tail clipped as a child so struggles to keep up in the water with the bigger Argonians. He has a slight addiction to skooma, fuelled by his Argonian racial passives.

Osama Wood Elf - evil vampire child, think Edward Cullen meets Chucky. He spends his days pickpocketing unsuspecting travellers in Hews Bane, although he hasn't been seen since he massacred a small village and ransacked their houses. Rumour has it that he has a 45,000 gold bounty that he's unwilling to pay.
