(First build of the site, I hope it is liked. Well here goes nothing, oh and to clariy I never have had a gaming computer so this is based off of using an Xbox 360. So umm... I don't see why it wouldn't work on the computer but I just wanted to go ahead and say it hasn't been PC tested. Anyhow here is my character build:)
The True High King
"Google Image of a High King"
The Lore:
You heard tale of a war arising in the north, Skyrim. That place where you had the most emotional ties, but would anyone still know you? It had been quite sometime since the Great War and you never returned to verify your survival, surely your brother was leading the attack to liberate the great homeland. These words sparked a burning fire in your belly, to free your homeland and set it back to the old ways. No more elves, the damn Aldmeri Dominion would be exiled and the Empire shrugged aside. So you set out to journey to the "Old Kingdom" where you find yourself being over run by Imperial soldiers, falling to the ground unconcious the world fades as the sleep draws closer leaving darkness in its place. Yours eyes open, how long has it been? Where are you now? Why are you bound and dressed in rags? A man in blue in front of you, a thief in rags to his left, and a large bear of a man to your own right. An ambush? You were informed that these Imperials had taken you along with the rebels known as "Stormcloaks" that's a strange name you find yourself thinking as you drift away no longer listening to the men on the carriage. As time passes you find yourself destine for the chopping block listening to that "Bear" of a man being read his charges, it appears he killed the High King. Young Torygg, your baby brother. Should you be angered? A normal man should but this man before you was a Jarl, it must have been a duel and in the old country this means it would be his right to battle. So no you feel no anger towards him but instead respect for the use of old practices, but this seemed to be your last day on Nirn so who cared anyhow. "Next the Nord in the rags!" Damn, was it your turn so soon? Guess this is where it ends and you never even got to fight your final fight, it would take a miracle to get out of this one.
The Build:
"This is a Google Image of Jorunn The Skald-King"
Race: Nord - Your a true son of Skyrim and son of a real High King, but nothing like your weaker inexperienced brother Torygg. If you wish to fill the throne it takes a man, thats what you are a powerful Nordic man. (Real reason is honestly a Nord has such honor in their world its great, I love their history and honestly you couldn't be a High King if you were anything else.)
Stone(s):
- The Warrior Stone: I chose this stone because it helps you get those combat skills flowing pretty fast in the beginning, but I would reccomend this stone till level 15-20
- The Lord Stone: After you use up the little boost from the Warrior Stone I find this to be the next stone you should use. The resistance to physical and magical attacks helps greatly and adds to the idea of you being a seasoned warrior.
Major Skills:
- Two-Handed: This is a good choice for the primary weapon as it kills quickly, but my real reason was that it seems like the true Nords use these large weapons as a way to prove their strength and prowess in battle. That and the idea of a large man swing a large weapon could strike fear in your enemies.
- Light Armor: Primarily because the Stormcloak armor is all light but also because the lighter armor allows for faster movement and when you lug around the larger weapons it is nice to have agile movement.
- Smithing: Your a Nord, a hammer in your hand so that you could strike the embers and forge the weapons of old. Being able to craft is like an inborn power to the Nords, it seems like the art was split between 2 Orcs and Nords.
Minor Skills:
- One-Handed: Sometimes a King must lay down the tool of disobedience and grab a blade to share a honorable duel. This is my choice because the idea of a duel feels like it is a battle of wits and bronze, so a large weapon makes you clumsy and less precise. This leaves only a small one-handed bladed, but its still a great way to battle.
- Block: If your going to use a sword in one hand fill the other with a wall to help repel blows, as a true Nord its obvious you wouldn't wield magic because the average Nord hates those of magical prowess.
- Archery: If your going to be royal why not learn the trade of hunting the land for sport? Plus what soldier doesn't know how to fire a bow, also the crossbow was a fun addition and I couldn't find it in myself to pass up. So let's be honest this was more personal to add.
- Speech: A King should have great speech, this being said having the benefits of talking will help with gaining the Jarls acceptance and getting out of trouble should you find yourself in some.
Stats: (Every 10 Levels)
Magicka: 0
Health: 6
Stamina:4
Perks: (By Level 35)
- Two-Handed: Barbarian (3/5), Champion's Stance, Devastating Blow, Limbsplitter (2/3)
- Light Armor: Agile Defender (2/5), Custom Fit, Unhindered, Wind Walker
- Smithing: Steel Smithing, Elven Smithing, Advanced Armors, Glass Smithing, Dragon Armor
- One-Handed: Armsman (1/5), Fighting Stance, Savage Strike, Critical Charge
- Block: Shield Wall (1/5), Power Bash, Quick Reflexes, Deflect Arrows
- Archery: Overdraw (3/5), Eagle Eye
- Speech: Haggling (2/5), Bribery, Persuasion, Intimidation
Shouts:
Truthfully all you can get, display all the power of your voice. You won't the people to both fear and respect your power, lead with the Thu'um as you charge.
Quests:
"Google Image of 2 opposing soldiers"
Main Quest: Let the world know your name, all will know your power and allow yourself to learn the true power that has been laying in wait beneath your skin. Side with Greybeards, don't kill Paarthurnax.
Companions: Yes, your an honor bound Nord who wants to see things done like the warriors of old. Also being the Harbringer is an honorable title making it easier to claim your title as leader.
Dark Brotherhood: Optional, I say optional because there could be great advantages to it plus what ruler wouldn't want a cult of assassins at his beckoning. (Also this is needed to obtain the fur-trimmed cloak, pleated shoes, and fine armguards on a console)
Civil War: Stormcloaks, though your brother was Torygg and Ulfric killed him you hold no feelings on the matter. A true Nord watchs his brothers in arms fall and cares nothing but to whom is to blame, Torygg fell because his heart did not beat for the warriors of old but for the coin of the Empire. (Roleplay Reasons Below)
Dawnguard: Yes, free your land and people from the terrors of the vampires. Plus fighting for the Dawnguard gives you some great stuff.
Dragonborn: Yes, this man insults you. Steals your dragon souls and calls you a liar. No one insults a king and walks away, no one. Plus the shouts and powers obtained are incredibly useful.
All The Thane Quests: Become a Thane in all holds to legitimise your claim to the role of High King.
Hearthfire: After conquering becoming High King most would ascend to the throne in the Blue Palace or a seat in a hold, but not you. Your a King of your people, you don't seek to sit in a palace like these Jarls. Instead you construct your own palace like home, a great hall and all to host the Jarls when necessary. Your true desire though is to travel the land and see that all your people have their needs met personally.
Thieves Guild and College of Winterhold: No, simply because this seems kinda beneath a man of Skyrim. The Dark Brotherhood is pushing the limits enough as is.
Roleplay/Gameplay:
"A Google Image of Jorunn The Skald-King"
- You have a in born hate for the Elves and don't see them as equals by no means.
- You don't wish to fight your Nordic people, but won't turn down a fight if it's unavoidable.
- Don't turn on you allies, these men and women are willing to fight at your side and die for you.
- Appearance wise kinda like these pictures of Jorunn, but lets be honest it's still your character so do as you wish with his looks.
- As for joining the war for Ulfric, yes in the beginning Ulfric makes claim for High King though he ends the war saying he will respect the Moot's decision. This means if they all like you including Ulfric so why wouldn't the Dragonborn of legend lead the great province?
