    Backstory:

    It was the late Fourth Era around the year 176 Sicilly Eques was born into a mildly rich family in the province of Cyrodiil in the city of Bravil. Her father was a merchant not the best in the city but enough to sustain the family day by day. her mother was a healer the only for a few kilometres. It wasn't a pleasant city filled with crime and filth and being so it wasn't ever an easy life for the child. She was naturally gifted in the art of destruction mastering simple shock spells by the age of seven. 

    Each month her father would leave for the open markets just outside of Cheydinhal. They had the widest range of stock and rumours this side of Skingrad. Her father would return with the most amazing stories of knights in shining armour rescuing damsels in distress. She would always imagine herself being the damsel being rescued by honourable knights and his father allows her to be married to said rescuer. 

    One day her father returned with news of a traveling knight, he was to arrive to days after willing to take one candidate to train with him and the Knights of the White Stallion. A few days later the knight arrived in shining Steel armour

If someone engages her be merciless as they engaged you to the death.

    Gameplay:

    Sicilly Eques will run into battle aplying the Ebonyflesh spell and Dragon Aspect shout before switching to a destruction magic killiing enemies out of melee range. If some enemies do survive the barrage of shock magic switch to your sword and shield charging forwards shields raised knocking enemies to the ground before slashing them to shreds with your sword. When Dragon Aspect has cooled down you can use the Cyclone shout but make sure your follower is out of the way, (but only one of three words as the three words version does the same except has a longer cooldown) to group enemies towards each other before using the Chain Lighting Destruction spell hopefully killing one if not two enemies. Even if not you still have multiple seconds before they get up so run in and hack and slash their health away. If any do get up just repeat the cycle until they are dead.

    Dragons are slightly different as they are flying around in the air 70% of the time. First use Ebonyflesh and Dragon Aspect to fortify your defences before hitting them with Dragonrend to Bring them to the ground before blasting them with shock magic as no non mod dragons are immune. Using the impact perk coupled with dual casting lighting bolt to interupt their shouts repeatedly until they are at lower health and run forwards swords blazing.

    Okay, this is a basic overview of what I'm seeing,based on a super quick read of the build. I'll go into more detail tomorrow after a series of interviews and things that I need to do. Probably will be back in the afternoon. 

    Right now, poor Sicilly has had like three sex changes in the course of your backstory and build. Is she male or female? 

    Second, you say two handed is a skill in one part of the build and then list one-handed. 

    Third, a lot of the sentences in your backstory don't make grammatical sense.

    Finally, you have more than 29 perks listed, so you'll need to get that sorted out. I'm counting 46 perks without the inclusion of one-handed perks. 

    Don't worry too much or take the criticism the wrong way, I and others on the Vault can help you sort through that and clean this up. That's what the workshop is for and I'm glad you're using it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

    Sorry thanks for the overview just reading it myself but I am annoyed because I had some more stuff written when I was doing it and I used the mod 50 percent more perk points which should be there
