    The Thief

    Background: Uresa was born to a poor Dunmer family in Rihad. Her family was always traveling from one location to another, trying to find somewhere to settle down where her father could work. When she was 17, her parents died after a group of bandits raided their cart. Uresa was spared, and so she traveled the world alone. Finding work was hard, but she managed to get in with the Thieves Guild and became very proficient in her new job. She would later be tasked with going to Vvardenfell to serve there. She lives in Suran as a stripper and is known for stealing from her customers when sleeping with them. Erissere is also a member of House Hlaalu and recently became a vampire after being bitten whilst raiding a tomb. She is now part of Clan Berne.

    Personality: Uresa is a very serious person, always on the lookout for an opportunity to find riches and hit it big! She cares only about herself and her husband, whom she met upon joining House Berne. She is reckless and incredibly lucky. She is very seductive, and will do what she must in order to get what she wants. Her body and her mind work in tandom pefectly, something not seen since the youthful years of Queen Barenziah.

    Race: Dunmer

    Name: Uresa Rols

    Class: Thief (Custom)

    Specialization: Stealth

    Sign: The Lady

    Attributes: Luck & Agility

    Major Skills: Sneak, Security, Marksman, Medium Armor, Shortblade

    Minor: Alteration, Merchantile, Illusion, Acrobatics, Speechcraft

    Factions: Thieves Guild, House Hlaalu, Clan Berne, Morag Tong.

    Gameplay: You will be doing as much stealing as you can. The more you can carry, the more you can sell. Never pass up on an opportunity to get rich! Even if that means betraying your current guild. However, don't be stupid, you need to think long term as well. Use your short sword after sneaking up on them and kill them as fast as possible. You may follow Daedric Quests, however, your character does not worship the Daedra, she simply uses them so she can get valuable artifacts, which she will sell to the Museum of Artifacts of course. Be sneaky, be stealthy, and kill them quickly. Classic thief class. Bows cannot be reflected like with destruction, so this is why our sneaky character will prefer to be a marksman, and also because it keeps you far from the enemy. Some enemies have resistance to normal weapons, but no problem with enchanted bow or bound bow. That'll take out those pesky ghosts. Dunmer are the only other race besides Bosmer with a bonus in marksman. Always choose either Bosmer or Dunmer. However, Dunmer also have superior resistance and you can take them in any direction other than stealth. Bosmer have lower resistances and low initial endurance. So overall, Dunmer have better stats in the long run. Sanctuary will also be important to keep you safe, so stack it high. Telekenisis is a great spell for grabbing items out of reach of whilst staying hidden from enemies. its also PERFECT for disarming traps if you run out of probes. Lastly, you should cast a water walking spell and shoot your enemies from the water, and when they come in for you, cast a burden spell on them to keep 'em in their place, and maybe even drown as you pelt them with arrows. You're not going to be getting hit, and medium armor is better to enchant. You'll be using your well earned cast to pay mages to make enchanted armor for you.

    The Following items are useful for your thief: Amulet of Shadows, Shadow Weave Ring

    Roleplay: Steal. Steal. STEAL! Seriously, STEAL! This character wants to be richer than the emperor, and will do everything to do so. Kill your enemies quickly and swiftly, and outwit your fellow thieves guild members with new and creative ways to get what you want. Be creative with how you work. Each time you level up, always put a point in for Luck. By time you're level 31, you'll have full Luck, unless you uncapped attributes with the code patch. First she will join the Thieves Guild to quench her thirst, then House Hlaalu to get richer and gain power, then Clan Berne to gain control. Join the Morag Tong and do odd jobs for them when you're low on cash, but ONLY when low on cash, Uresa likes to get dirty but not with blood.

    This looks great, mate. Sorry that I´m late to the party, I was quite busy lately. 

    There is something that always attracted me to Thieves and this is no different. Running around and pulling off some heists, stealing everything is just so much fun.
