Do you make characters that are not of the classic 10 races?

I have 1 char of each race, and then I created one more hoping to record all the quest and lore elements of eso in case it gets unplug one day
but my OCD wouldn't allow me to create a new char with race that I already have, so I create a char and imagine she as reachmen , of longhouse dynasty.
Do you do something like this? Create a char and imagine he/she as（and customize he/she towards to）a race that we can't access? A reachman, ayleid, falmer or even chimer? And with of the 10 original race did you use as “template” in order to create him/her?

✭✭✭✭✭I don't think the Reachmen are a race exactly, they're still nords, just from a different part of Skyrim and with a slightly different culture. Like the Tribal and House dunmer
I haven't done it myself, but I know one person who was/is working on making a maormer character for role-playing purposes and one who insisted their dunmer was actually a dwemer, but I could never see what they'd done differently to a normal dunmer in dwemer motif armour.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Well, my reach girl self identifies as reachmen
She has nord/breton blood from reachmen, and imperial blood from marriage betweem longhouse reachmen and nibenese nobles. She is probably imperial race if we go strictly from biological perspective but still maintains her reachmen traits （ice magic and tame animals like tribe ppl do） 0 -

✭@Danikat Reachmen are mostly Breton with little Nord blood. In fact they have more Aldmeri blood since they were ruled by elves bit longer
From the UESP article for Reachmen: "Following the collapse of the First Empire of the Nords, the Western Reach was retaken by the Aldmeri, who slaughtered the majority of Nord colonists; as a result, the Nordic ancestry of the Reachmen is comparatively weak"Edited by LMar on May 6, 2018 9:22AM"If a stick of fish is a fish stick, it will stick like other fish sticks stick"

✭Xivkyn. I purchased the polymorph before creating him. Technically he was born Dunmer, but morphed into a Xivkyn warrior moments later. I do regret not going Altmer because I feel like I have this huge Xivkyn guy riding a dunmer sized mount.[DC/NA]1 -

Interesting, I miss dwarves in this game. It's always my first choice character in any MMO that supports a dwarf. Not sure, however, that I could simply create a short character of another race and pretend he's a dwarf!1 -

✭✭✭✭Well....I'm a die hard RPGer, and I came up with a couple of weird character concepts, so I had to try:
A Maomer (and I even wrote a fanfic explaining how she defected at the Battle of Kenarthi's Roost)
You can probably tell I started with a dunmer template for her. Tempest Kinslayer (not her birth name, but it represents what she felt she had to do).
And a Goblin (I loooved Toothmaul Gully)
Her name is Broken Branch Toothmaul; she is shown above with her Commanding OfficerTenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis3 -

I always cringe at "dwarf" it's Nirn slang for Dwemer
Dwemer are Elves. (Known as Mer)
They are underground elves. Yes shorter than Nords or Altmer, but around the same as Chimer (Dunmer) and probably taller than Bosmer.
There isn't any "Dwarfs" like most people think (lotr)
They were more elitist than Altmer.
Physical (stamina) based.
A Dunmer or Bosmer would probably be best he closest in game race to the Dwemer

I also played my Breton as a Reachman for a while, but that didn't really stick. LOL.
This. Reachmen are a mix of races, but mainly Breton, not mainly Nord.@Danikat Reachmen are mostly Breton with little Nord blood. In fact they have more Aldmeri blood since they were ruled by elves bit longer
