Your Main character's final fate.

Kombinator

Like the title says. If you were to write a grand story about ESO, then what would be the final fate of your main character? Would he retire somewhere nice and safe? Maybe leave to Oblivion? Or go, and start working in politics?

Let's pretend, that Tiber Septim is about to show up around 300 years after the Planemeld stopped. So even as an elf you cannot live to that day naturally.

While playing TES3, 4 and 5 I wrote some stories. One Khajiit was always mentioned in them - an immortal one. He boasted to trick Sheogorath himself long ago, but the outcome was... not the one planned. So, when he became immortal? During ESO events, of course! So, here's the fate - immortality till my Khajiit will find a way to trick Sheogorath.

MajBludd

Dedicated crafter

Bobby_V_Rockit

He’s still adventuring while all his other competitors lose interest soon

Chaos2088

In my head I am playing my characters a grp of mages trying to achieve chim and create a new pantheon and domination over everything... step one...taking out Molag-Bal (for now)...tick.....licks lips at the other daedric princes and then the Aedra.

Carespanker

Chim after reading every scroll in Cyrodiil at once ending the 3 faction war forever by turning Cyrodiil into an inhospitable jungle that no one can pass through fixing the lore and the lag once and for all. Or at least that's what's currently written in the fan novel "The ballad of Emperor Sweetroll" my guild made for me...

Thokri

Chopped to pieces after getting too drunk in wrong place and lowlives took advantage of passed out hero.

Sad fate for adventurer who toppled armies and stood firm against daedric princes.

pandoraderomanus

Killed in a battle in Cyrodiil.

Toanis

My headcanon for my three "mains" (one in each alliance):

My Nightblade will eventually settle down, raise a family and become the grand grand ... grand mother of my TES2:Daggerfall char who also was a Nightblade and a Werewolf.

My Argonian Dragonknight will continue adventuring until the river carries him home to the Hist. His experience will be remembered when the Hist prepare the Argonians for the Oblivion crisis.

My Imperial Necromancer will "live" to see his empire rise again... and fall again... He's very likely still around in the 4th era, a casual observer who has better things to do than to worry about the petty conflicts of mortals and their short-lived empires...

Lintashi

My vampire altmer necromancer is obsessed with gathering books, letters, notes of every kind. Once, he will decide that he has gathered enough. He will sit in his own dimensional pocket, with vast library, until he reads it all. Then, he will go to Apocrypha, and become servant of Hermaeus Mora, in exchange for acess to more books.

Coppes

You discern a fraction of reality. Beyond this world exist other planes, other worlds, other beings.

The Vestige will experience or ignore them as he wishes. The Vestige will spend eternity becoming everything: a farmer, an artist, a simple man.

When the last living thing in Tamriel finally dies, The Vestige will return, the Vestige will enjoy peace and the Vestige wait for the cycle to begin again..

xxthir13enxx

My first Main
mSorc
Got GO in Cyrodiil and
Got DELETE
as reward....
lol I was never playing that toon again
Nerf Sorc!

Michae

Seeing that the Vestige is basically immortal now, I'm sure they are around in 4E in some way. My headcanon is that they're really a Daedra of sorts, like the Daedra they die and then reform from the essence of their plane, which is Mundus in this instance. Maybe in time they'll embrace their Daedric nature and make some pocket of Oblivion their own, hm?

And before anyone protests, we had mortals become Daedra or gods before (or after?). Champion of Cyrodiil became the new Sheogorath and Tiber Septim became Talos. I'm sure there are more examples I can't recall from the top of my head.

Ye_Olde_Crowe

Whenever I write stories, they rarely end the way I wanted them to end. All the characters seem to have their own agenda. Just like some of my story extras suddenly became minor or even major characters, I still have no idea how my ESO main's story will end. His plans have been thwarted so often already that I assume even he's not sure about how everything will turn out.
My main basically wants to do some serious cave-delving with his (current) SO, unearthing lost Dwemer ruins in the process, and finally retreat to the Gold Coast.
But as I said ... no idea if this will be his final fate. So many things might happen on the way...

RaddlemanNumber7

The Dreamer is my main character, in my headcanon at least. That's not a story that has a beginning or an end.

As for my in-game characters, they are all Vestiges. Paragons of Nirn. Avatars of the Dreamer. They exist only to fulfil the "to do" list that the Doom Drum is giving them. Once that to do list is completed I expect they will simply cease to exist. Their body disintegrate into raw creatia, their spirit dissolve into the Void, their memory erased from existence. Job done. Servers off.

If any of my in-game characters has a personal story it usually ends when Mannimarco kills them.

She has to get an arrow removed from her knee and then worry about finding a job to pay off her school loans....

He'll prolly drink himself to death

Actually post-main quest they are only Immortal if they have Vampirism and even then it just physical immortality as opposed to true-immortality, being able to resurrect is simply a game mechanic just like you can resurrect before even doing the main quest.

The reason being is when you got your soul returned to you, it took the place of the Daedric Animus, lore-wise it was the Daedric Animus which allowed you to reform, there is even dialogue in quests which chronoloically take place after the main quest where you are refereed to as mortal and even dialogue where you claim you could of died, a true immortal would not say that.

Before and after, you are always referred to as mortal. Even from Daedric Princes.

I expected the soulless Vestige to feel like part of him/her was somewhere else. Probably some diluted emotions and sensations.

You died before the game even begun.

It’s always been a talking point which has come down to whatever you prefer since the devs won’t comment on it.

IMO, I like my immortal Vestige.

And to @Michae, you technically aren’t a Daedra. I remember in a quest in the A’likr that if you were a Redguard a spirit remarked to you that you had the blood and ancestry of Redguards in you.

January1171

She has continued to venture across Tamriel and Nirn in service of the Aedra, and is currently in TES5 Skyrim doing so

MajThorax

My main would die of old age in Alinor crest townhouse, alone, with a book in hand, probably the lusty argonian maid

Rake

Reported by bad people that weaponize their views to remove anyone that is not as bad in PvP as they are.

SantieClaws

You wish this one to ponder on her fate?

Well Khajiit assumes that after all of her nine lives have truly been spent, not counting wayshrine stops, then she will be reborn as an immortal great golden salmon and continue her role as the true spirit of Fishmas that way.

It will not be so easy to play with yarn or drink ale though as a golden salmon … Khajiit should make the best of this form while she has it.

Pass the moon sugar rum please.

Yours with paws
Santie Claws

theyancey

Like Geralt mine would retired to a vineyard, only venturing out to save others in times of great need.

Ceridwynne

I also like the idea of an "immortal" vestige. I imagine my Breton templar eventually retiring from adventuring and settling down as a noble in Daggerfall. She is still involved with the mages guild/psijics, helping out with magical issues that arise.
She is also involved in politics but not directly, she just influences people to do what she thinks is best.

Every few years she leaves and comes back years later as her own granddaughter to not arouse suspicion. She tries to keep herself busy because she lives in constant fear that she will lose her mind and become a feral shriven and harm those she cares about.

Browiseth

ooohhh someone made ma thread!!!

so i've actually put a lot of thought into this. Strikes-with-Arcane is my main, and his story relates in some way to all of my characters. he's a vampire and, in the end, he outlives them all - even the other vampires. in my headcanon, he lives on long enough to at least become my character in TES IV: oblivion, and possibly my character in skyrim

that's the short version anyway

TheShadowScout

Leskandera - eventually retires from bounty hunting and opens up a small potion shop selling potions overe the counter, and for select customers posions beneath it. Will also take on apprentices which she trains to be good lil assassins and get stabby all over tamriel, just like she did in her youth. Eventually will get so fed up with the world and expecially the people in it, she will approach a certain daedric prince (not the obvious one) and make a bargain... then continue her life (well, existence?) with renewed vigor as daedra in oblivion, often getting summoned by a mortal for exactly the things she did for the dark brotherhood once upon a time...

Keladendar - someday retires from adventuring to follow his true passion - being a librarian. As he gets older, he starts to research forbidden magic to make himself somewhat immortal, which he will sort of succeed at with the side effect of becoming a ghost. And then contines to haunt libraries all over Tamriel well beyond the fourth era on his life quest to read all the books. All. The. Books. And might start an tamriel-ish urban legend of a ghost that only attacks people if they damage the books in libraries...

Kes dre-Lana - will try to die in heroic battle against some evil or another, but fail at it time and time again due to vestige status. Will instead get cursed by daedric princes for messing with their evil plans way too often, imprisoned by evil villains, marooned on deserted islands, and excape from all that, multiple times, and eventually get so sick and tired of the constant repetition she will petition Arkay for intervention to finally get to her well deserved afterlife... in Tamriel, she will be forgotten except for some wrothgar folk tales...

jircris11

My khajiit being a werebeast in khajiits clothing would eventually find a way back to her home in the eternal hunting grounds. To hunt by her masters side once more. Till then she kills in his name be it beast, man or mer.

Nord_Raseri

Original main already retired years ago to become a crafter. My second main is semi retired, he took a heavy nerf to the knee. The rest are pvp and will all die bloody.

As I said, it's my headcanon. I needed to rationalize being able to resurrect even after getting my soul back and this is what I found satysfying. As I said, it wouldn't be the first time a main character in TES game could become immortal. Nerevarine stopped aging and technically could live forever, but they still could be killed (I think in official canon they went on an expedition to Akavir and vanished) and Champion of Cyrodiil became Sheogorath. We don't know what happened to Dragonborn since we didn't have any sequel to Skyrim but from what we have we can probably assume they're still mortal. And I think of Vestige more as Daedra-like than a proper Daedra. It's something among the lines of their soul not being bound to Nirn anymore and thus not obeying rules of mortality.

I rationalize many things like that, same with how there are still anchors when the Planemeld is over. I see it as Molag Bal not giving up but knowing that he won't be able tu pull Nirn through to Coldharbour before someone lights the Dragonfires. I'm sure there's some sort of prophecy he knows talking about that. I find it better than "time traveling" when I move through the zone.

RefLiberty

My character would retire from adventuring as soon as enough gold is aquired to purchase Mournoth Keep and then it would open an Brothel house and Inn.
