• [COMPLETE] EU megaservers for patch maintenance – December 17, 9:00 UTC (4:00AM EST) - 17:00 UTC (12:00PM EST)
Inspiration: I tried to create a druidic-looking outfit, using simple green clothing and very light leather armor with a fur trim. The result here is an outfit that not only looks light enough to move swiftly through the forests of Tamriel, but also blends in perfectly with the natural environment. The deer horns are a tribute to Y'ffre, the patron of the Wardens.

Costume: Sylvan/Bloodroot Spriggan polymorphs, Nazaray Staff weapon style
Dyes: N/A
Inspiration: "Dina is a Bosmer so dedicated to The Green, that she has become part of it. As a healer, her green aura soothes those around her, and bolsters those who would fight alongside her. However, when her anger rises, her aura shifts into the red hues of destruction, calling both the elements and the creatures of the land to destroy her foes."
My character, Angarvund, is a nature loving Warden mage who likes any kind of adventure and this outfit not only looks good on him, but lightness of the armour provides agility and Gloomspore staff enhances his mushroom powers. Leaf ornaments on shoulders and head are most important on this outfit. If anyone hasn't noticed yet, green and gold are my favourite colours.

Inspiration: "Now what can I say? What inspired me? Why, ME, of course! What's not ta be inspirin'? Devilishly handsome, excruciatingly witty, and MADDENINGLY unpredictable! I might help ya, I might harm ya...it all depends on me mood! And believe me...you don't want ta get on my bad side."
As an endgame player with nothing left of interest to do I am always happy to share my characters.
This is Sir Sebastian Dagonet and his outfit is what I want to show off in this post since I found this outfit very universal for most characters.

Steame-Scalese, An Argonian Cyborg inspired by Mechagodzilla.
Here is Cepoale, the inspiration to this outfit is i tried to pick out every outfit style with bandages on them so that it would look kind of nomadic.

Head: Icereach Coven Hat - Apricot Outrage | Julianos White | Void Pitch
Shoulder: Windhelm Scale Tunic Shoulders
Chest: Primal Jerkin - Champion Red | Julianos White | Apricot Outrage
Waist: Nord Belt 3 - Magnus Setting Red (all slots)

Inspiration: I like trying the odd looking styles and, in this case, Icereach Coven Hat is the style that I wanted to use. I tried some colors on the hat and, with the right colors, found that it resembled like a creepy clown face. And so, Creepy Clown is the look that I tried to achieve with this outfit.

Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA) Might be joking in comments.
-->(((Cyrodiil)))<--
Weapon: Greymoor Lycanthrope staff (or axe and shield, they both work)
Dyes:
Armor: Lycanthrope Grey in slot one of everything, Undaunted Bronze in the rest
Weapon: Lycanthrope Grey in the first two slots, Undaunted Bronze in the last slot
Inspiration: I ran with the Nedic Perena armor for the longest time, ever since it was a daily reward drop. One day, I decided I wanted to have him become a werewolf for the sake of being able to do more DPS in solo content since he's a tank. One thing led to another, and now I can be both a werewolf and a tank—a werewolf tank—and have armor to match. I like the classic "steel and leather" look, so that's what I went for in terms of the dyes.

If I'm ever online, it's probably to report bugs or suggest a feature.
As a tank in PVP I needed an outfit that will help me stand out! I wanted to be Bright and Bold and attract the enemy to attack me first, instead of my group.
Inspiration: I loved the Black Drake Clanwrap style since it released, so I came up with an outfit centered around it. My stamina warden wears it with the remains of a dragon he once slayed!
Djennku is a Shadowscale, and I took inspiration from the Shadowscale outfits from quests in Shadowfen when the game launched, since I'dfallen in love with the lore of Shadowscales since I first learned about them.
Grand Master crafter, all styles and all furnishing plans known pre U41.
Vamp and WW bites available for players.
Shoot me an in-game mail if you need anything, happy to help!
Second Seed Raiment Jerkin - Spectral Blue (Grand Necromancer Slayer) - Divine Gold
Second Seed Raiment epaulets
Imperial gloves 1
Second Seed Raiment sash
Second Legion Guards - Chivalric Silver (Saviour of High Isle)
Chitinous boots
Gloambound Staff (invisible)
The 2 blueish dyes took a while to acquire (Cyrodiil siege to kill Necro Players, High Isle main and side quests), but they are worth the effort as they add a slight shimmer.
Inspiration: Trial and error based on 4 years playing, wanted a "happy" looking outfit matching the "cheerful" personality, without looking too exagerated (first tried pink colours, but those were too extreme).

Equipment: Sellistrix Staff
Hat: Netch Handler Cap
Costume: Thrafey Debutante Gown
Iridescent Dyes: Blood Gold, Pellitine Coral, and Frozen Blood
Inspiration: I wanted to create a maormer themed character that's clearly a mage. I love how iridescent dyes look and they just so happen to come in the blue, red, and gold color scheme that I was looking for. I knew right away when I saw the Netch Handler Cap as a daily freebie that it would be my favorite headwear and thankfully it dyes quite nicely. I fell in love with the Thrafey Debutante Gown when I tried it on in the PTS. I love the idea of wearing a robe made up of scaly cloth. I also love the Sellistrix Staff style, since it reminds me of Jafar's staff in Aladdin and looks like I'm holding a petrified snake that could come alive at any moment. I use the maormer fish skin to give the idea that I have some maormer blood in me and I like to pretend that my goggles are hiding my pale white maormer esque eyes (if only I could have a beard and the oracle eyes on at the same time grrr).

Check tamrieltradecentre.com for the best deals if you're not using a price checking addon).
Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).
Okay yeah, this seems like fun. I have a lot of characters I put a lot of effort into, but I'll give you my latest creation as well has one of my favorites for your consideration.
Character 1: Aurig Xandria, Aureal (Using High Elf as base), Templar
Collectibles:
1. Purple Torchbug
2. Senche of Dark Delerium
Breadown & Inspiration: Xandria (Rank: Aurig) is a golden saint, so the all-gold dye is not for simplicities sake. Since the golden saint outfit is looking quite dated by more recent standards and the dyes aren't consistent on it, I elected to make my own look through the outfit system.
Golden Saints typically use daedric armor that is very avian-themed in appearance and as luck would have it, high elf armor also looks very avian-themed. I used a mix Divine Prosecution, Welkynar, Aldmeri and Ancestral High Elf to try and replicate that look. Darloc's Golden eyes are the closest approximation of Golden Saint eyes that we have, so that's in use as well. I'm hoping for a gold skin and proper golden saint eyes in the future.
Xandria is actually an old character I played in modded Oblivion--a servant of Sheogorath like most Aureal are. The collectibles I chose are to signify that connection.
Character 2: Solaria Mercius, Imperial, Dragon Knight
Breakown & Inspiration: Solaria Mercius' father was a Taseci and her mother was an Imperial. She was orphaned at a young age and left to raise a group of young misfit girls in the harshlands of Morrowind. She is very much a daughter of three drastically different worlds and I wanted her entire look to reflect this.
Akaviri Potentate armor is the perfect amalgamation of both Imperial and Akaviri style and reflects her heritage nicely. The Taseci Bow and Sword belonged to a father she never met and left as heirlooms to her. The guar, like her siren sisters, is her preferred riding beast, as it is the most common, versatile and reliable mount in the lands of Morrowind and it too wears the same kind of armor she does. The little guar is there just because it's cute and matches the look.
Dyes: Book Cover Brown / Lamae's White / Murder Mahogany / Patron's Gold "The First Dragonborn, Miraak, has been biding his time in Apocrypha since the Merethic. Who's to say there aren't any devout servants from those days, sharing his fate?"
Talking to master is always a bit terrifying, but he doesn't mean to scare me, I'm sure.
Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!? Vivec: Worse, buddy. They're buying it.
Someone once commented: "You look like a lizard sherbet!" So that's what I call this look.
Chest/feet/hands/waist: Mazzatun (over the top of Pearlescent - floaty balls for the win!)
Shoulder: Elder Argonian
Legs: Deadlands Gladiator
Weapon: Sunspire axe, Selene monster shield
Dyes: Anequina Sunrise, Apricot Outrage, Marble White
Inspiration: I *LOVE* Argonians, their lore, their look and the game devs/designers have come up with some really attractive ancient central/south American indigenous looks for a lot of the armor/weapons etc that really compliment the look of Argonian history, architecture and culture.
Moistest is a bit of a traditionalist with a vain streak, mostly honouring his heritage but not afraid to embellish it with the odd bit of something exotic, while showing a bit of skin - well, scales. He might end up coming out of a dungeon or monster encounter covered in unspeakable gore, but DAMN if he isn't going to look good doing it
My main: Garnag gro-Dragol, the Orc with the heart of a Nord
More action shots:
Gar was born and raised in Skyrim by a Nord family, so he's a Nord in everything but his green skin and tusks. After his father died during the second Akaviri war, Gar ended up going to Morrowind to smith for King Jorunn's Pact, but that was where he ended up running into the Worm Cult...
This is Gar's armor when he went to Coldharbour with his companions to make the final stand to save all of Nirn. The one thing I'd want to change about this is that he is technically Meridia's champion at that point, so he should definitely have Dawnbreaker... (please ZOS release that weapon style!)
Styles used:
Swordthane helmet - Boss Butcher Brown, Sergeant's Charcoal, Rank 5 materials
Ancestral Nord jack - Boss Butcher Brown, Indoril Blue, Rank 5 materials
Hazardous Alchemy Arm Cops - Boss Butcher Brown, Rank 5 materials
Ysgramor's Ascendance Gauntlets - Rank 5 materials, Boss Butcher Brown
Sovngarde Stalwart Girdle - Rank 5 materials, Rank 5 materials
Shield of Senchal Greaves - Rank 5 materials, Boss Butcher Brown, Sergeant's Charcoal
Hazardous Alchemy Sabatons - Rank 5 materials, Sergeant's Charcoal
Valorous Sovngarde Shield - Tower White-Gold, Tower White-Gold, Sergeant's Charcoal
Symphony of Blades Sword - Lamae White, Colossus Brass, Indoril Blue
Inspiration:
I love the Nord aesthetic. Honestly, Skyrim was one of the most beautiful games for me because everything about the Nord styles is right up my alley. But what can I say, I'm an Orc through and through.
I love the detailing and knotwork on a lot of the Nordic styles (Gar's main outfit is Bloodforge, which one of my friends once said had "more knots than a Flogging Molly concert"), so I knew I essentially build this outfit around the shield. Also the chainmail and crossed belts on the Ancestral Nord medium really made me want to build a look like this.
Gar is a tank so I didn't want to lose the heavy armor for his gear, but the Hazardous Alchemy style brought a few nice plates with some knotwork on it. Also the mail on the Senchal greaves matched surprisingly well with the Ancestral Nord jack and made it look a bit more armored than the Ancestral Nord guards. I was undecided on the gauntlets, but I do like styles that have individual finger plates so I went with the Ysgramor ones... also it ties nicely to Gar's adoptive heritage.
The style of the helmet with the goggled faceplate and the medallion in the center of his chest (along with a circular shield) also really brought to mind the look of my favorite superhero, so I had to find some way to incorporate a bit of blue in his outfit. I did want to keep it all grounded, so I think of this more as a Tamriel-ified version of Cap's outfit - Captain Tamriel, if you will.
Incidentally, how may of these are we allowed to post? Because I definitely have more characters and more outfits. Fashion is the true endgame after all...
Dyes: Grand Overlord's Brass + Drowned Cobait Skin: Rainsiren Nereid Inspiration: I wanted an outfit that symbolize the class affinity with weather and nature magic and mixed it together with gladiator-like looks. The crown seems like a nice compliment to that look highlighting elven love for expensive trinkets.
As some small backstory, I would like to think of him as altmer mage who in pursuit of knowledge and power traveled all over Tamriel and beyond to enhance his skills in magical arts. His particular interest in weather and nature magic lead him to explore all sorts of ancient Dwemer and Nordic ruins and learn not only from talented man and mer but also from nereids, sea sloads and even daedric princes…
Inspired by some of the more grim and pragmatic choices that this character has made during his adventures across Nirn and beyond, he has embraced a darker path as a black templar, more vengeful and righteous than just and benevolent.
His outfit is deliberately ornate, reflecting his pride, and embraces a combination of black and radiant glow, like a sunspot or dark nova.
Primary colours are Thalmor black and Anequina sunrise.
Sapiarch hat.
Shield of Senchal shoulders.
Hollowjack jack.
Hollowjack belt.
Militant Ordinator guards.
Psijic flame gauntlets.
Sulxan sabatons.
Ilambris swords.
Saliache Aetherial Tiara.
Lambent guar body markings.
Dra'ni, my main, who is a dragonknight and a vampire
Helmet: None - Hair is Seafarer's Crowning Trim, major adornment is Third Eye Ruby, minor adornment is Baandari Luck Veil
Chest: Greymoor Medium
Legs: Greymoor Medium
Shoulders: Greymoor Medium
Feet: Greymoor Medium
Hands: Greymoor Medium
Belt: Greymoor Heavy
Shield: Abah's Watch
Weapon: Tsaesci Sword
Dyes: Armour: Champion Red, Windhelm Steel, Coldharbour Ash Black - Shield: Strangler Maw Red, Birch White - Sword: Pact Conqueror Red, Lycanthrope Gray
Inspiration: I wanted something that looked vampiric but also rather sleek, as if it was easy to sneak around in when the time is needed, since this is really the lore behind Dra'ni. She's a neutral vampire and a clan mother to a big clan, so I wanted something that also shows her 'status' without being over-the-top. The reason for the shield is because I like round shields that are large, so they look like they'll take a lot of damage. The reason for the sword is because it is like a mini-katana, and I've had fond memories of katanas since Oblivion.
inspiration: i really enjoyed the evilish look the dark colored emperor regalia looked with the void pathosis and nerienth staff worked great with this, a necromancer should feel like a king of the undead
i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them
My Dunmer Necromancer, Dagun Vuul Qeth
(Vuul Qeth is dragontongue for Dark Bone.)
When Elsweyr came out I embraced the new class with gusto, and created this dragon priest lich, who left his home of Necrom on the Telvanni Peninsula to bring dragons back into the world, alive or dead. He fashioned his armour out of their bones, and gathered souls along the way.
All armour is dragon bone style, apart from ebonheart pact epaulets, scalecaller guards, and fang lair belt, coloured in void pitch and marble white.
My Altmer Dragon Knight, Grendel Modor
I love the aesthetic of the class, and I wanted my dragon knight to look sleek and dangerous, choosing blood gold (one of my favourite dyes) for as much of the armour as I could, with various earth tones to complement. She was inspired by believe it or not, Angelina Jolie in Grendel (Grendel Modor pertaining to Grendel's mother), who was monstrous and beautiful, I liked the duality of a destructive creature that also held aesthetic allure.
My Orc Templar Healer, Bruz.
Bruz is a wandering alchemist and healer who was trained at the Shimmerin Academy. How did an orc manage to get into the closed Summerset and at the same time study at a rather prestigious institution? This is a completely different story. Which I may tell another time.
Style:
Ascendant order light helmet
Ascendant order light chest
Honor Guard light shoulders
Ivory Brigade light gloves
Steadfast Society medium legs
High Rock Battle mage boots
Skin: Fabrication Sheath
Body Markings: Lambent Guar Body Markings
Head Markings: Azure Eyes
Inspiration: This one does not understand why we have to fight the wolves as lambs when we can be the wolves ourselves. This one has the same sharp teeth and claws, yes. This outfit shows the hunter within this one would say.

Weapons

Dro-M'athra style staff, dyed with Coldharbour Ash Black and Dominion Yellow
Inspiration: Khaz's backstory in a few words is he is a khajiit raised away from Elsweyr trying to get back in touch with his culture. Raised around mainly the human races he wears Nord armor, with Khajiit accents mixed in to symbolize his attempts to learn about his people's culture. I used Wolf's Fur Brown and Lycanthrope Gray in many places as a little joke to myself about him being a werewolf. The purples I chose contrasted well in my opinion without making the whole set too dark or muddled. As for the greatsword I wanted it to look as menacing as possible, or what Khaz would think looked menacing as possible. For the staff I wanted the moon to be yellow, and the black looked rather sleek. I also wanted a tier 5 khajiit staff, but only npcs have them so dro-m'athra style was the only way. Maybe he found it somewhere he shouldn't have been...
