    Hey! Thanks, Curse :D

    The vote of confidence is always MUCH appreciated, but we've seen some great builds so far, and heavy-hitters, Tai-Rai-driar, have yet to unveil what is bound to be a kick-tail-and-take-names build. (Plus you never know what madness CounterfeitFrenchman will come up with ;D)

    But the biggest obstacle--this is an Altmer build... what was I thinking? xD

    You should have made it a Breton ubstead (Insert emote of choice)

    Still, I think all of us shall be squashed by Tai-Raid

    I should have just copy-and-pasted The Paladin of Molag Bal xD

    I'm dying to see what Tai Rai-driar come up with, though :D

    Damn it Shin, here I was set on Edana and Legion to win this Event, but you had to drop this out and shake the whole thing up :P

    Great work Shin, it's  a nice take on an Altmer character, and was done in a fun way, I like the whole dating board feel to it, gives off a very unique flavor. And of course how can I resist those lovely pictures, especially those first two.

    Great work Shin, I'm thinking you might be able to steal the win with this :D

    Damn Shin, you come outta nowhere and post this?! Insta-like :D

    Really cool idea here, and I'm a sucker for those non-conformist types (hey, maybe Tae and I have one in the works ;)). The quirky  and humorous atmosphere really sell the build, the little adverts are awesome!

    I thought parenthesis couldn't be used in titles though?

    Thanks, DB! :D

    Art was kind of beast for this. Finding female warriors with a tough-but-attractive vibe that actually had clothes (let alone armor) on was giving me conniptions. Evidently none of these fantasy artists have (a) ever been to battle (who the heck takes on demon hordes in a bikini anyhow?), nor (b) have daughters (I kept finding myself saying, "Her eyes are up HERE, artist!" xD)

    Rant over, prude OUT!

    this is a great build, I usually dislike the High-elves for them being jerks. I do like that lady in Windhelm though, for her backstory and she is useful. this is a great build, I would go the orc Female route for it, since I like them a lot and they are awesome in the D&D stories I heard of.

    POST THE FREAKING THING ALREADY! I've been impatiently waiting ever since I saw that unholy marriage of minds xD

    Non-conformists are some of my favorite characters to play, so I'm even more intrigued to see what you two have up your sleeves. I'm between builds right now, and am looking to add things to my 'play-this-or-die-unfulfilled' list ;D

    I was unaware of any rules regarding parentheses in titles (but to be honest, I'm probably not as familiar to site rules as I ought to be). It was meant to be a homage to Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'... fun and hinting at a concept, but in no way crucial to the build--I'll remove the offending phrase from the build title ;D

    And thanks again for the kind words... you never truly know if folks are going to see a build the same way you do when you write it.
