I want to see your ugliest character

phaneub17_ESO · February 2022

Many times whenever I see people post their characters, they do the best to make them as chiseled, pretty, and pleasing as possible. Let's see some intentionally ugly characters! Except Khajiits, you can never make an ugly Khajiit its not possible.

Here's mine:

Not intentionally hideous but no prize either.

This is Saggitam Ad Genu.

I didn't set out to make him ugly exactly but he has literally been through the wars. I always make up a backstory for my characters and for a dedicated crafter with some combat skills (so he can get skyshards and do surveys) my most interesting idea was a retired soldier/adventurer who just wants to stay out of all the chaos currently happening in Tamriel and have some peace and quiet.

So he's an older guy, heavily scarred (the eye patch was a random choice at character creation) and he may have put on some extra weight since he retired (he does live in the pub). He now lives in Summerset because it's the prettiest and most peaceful bit of Tamriel he's seen - Vulkhel Guard at first, until he finally got permission to move to the mainland, now he's in Alinor.

All mine got style sorry

I don't consider any of my characters ugly, but if this one showed up to the Debutante Ball without a date, he probably wouldn't get many spontaneous dance requests. It might be the looks, or it might be the prospective dance partner is afraid she might get burned. He's a Breton Nightblade by trade but now focuses on crafting.

Someone in Reddit has a journal entitled "People of Tamriel". Here are some of his/her findings:

*shakes head as he walks past the circus caravan*
'They really let anyone out in the streets these days!'

The thing from the swamp. If he had a whole trough his abdomen and was using his own grave stake as a staff that would be perfect.

I like him a lot, you did well - that he is scarred and an older guy doesn't make him ugly, just more interesting and experienced. And those muscles, just look at those muscles.

I'm glad you like him.

Like I said I wasn't aiming to make an ugly character specifically, I don't tend to think of my characters in those terms, it's more 'what sort of person would fit the personality I have in mind', but I think he's the least like the stereotypical idealised RPG character.

It's funny you mentioned muscles too, my husband keeps saying all he ever does is hammering. (I think the blacksmithing station is usually where I take a break from daily writs to catch up on guild chat.)

These are great! Keep on sharing your "unique" characters of Tamriel!

Kelinmiriel · February 2022

This character is on the PTS, and should be called, "Created by Committee" (although his current name is "Purty Boi"). A few incarnations ago of PTS, when I was making a max level template character to get all the useful boxes, and was on voice with my guild (Swamp Haven), I happened to muse out loud, "What sort of character should I create this time?"

At first they thought I was making a real character on live, but when I explained to them that it was a throwaway temporary PTS character, I put up a stream in Discord, and they started tossing in suggestions - beginning with "make the ugliest Altmer possible". He's obviously a Necromancer, as that would be the most unsuitable for their culture. Poor outcast.

I guess he has decided to embrace his uniqueness and just be who he is.

(edited to correct a very minor typo. Sorry. I had to. I'm like that.)

I'm fairly certain your altmer is a daedra in disguise

My beautiful Breton isn't always this way, but sometimes things just gotta die...

Beauty and ugliness are subjective and lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Haha! I love it!

... or maybe he's an Altmer in the disguise of a Daedra?

(Btw, I really don't think the "Goatee & Stubble" Facial Hair is supposed to look like that. But it does, at least sometimes, and with certain skin tones, and hair colors, it looks particularly bad. Anyway - that's NOT a chin growth. ...I guess. Unless it is.)

I am just here for the fat orcs in dresses. Carry on.

DarcyMardin · February 2022

This thread is making me want to create a thoroughly hideous alt. But I think some of you are gonna stay well ahead of me on that! Those “People of Tamriel” pics are awesome!

MJ202 · February 2022

This thread should include a "View at your own risk" warning as some of those images can't be un-viewed, once you see them.

dem0n1k · February 2022

Unfortunately I deleted my hideous fat argonian a few years ago

So there's this guy ....
