Concept
This build uses Destruction magic in one hand and a Heavy Shield in the other to be able to block as much damage as you can while dealing as much damage as possible without being outside of melee range so you can use your shield to block incoming attacks while magicka regenrates and you can still play that in your face style without having to worry about using conventional weapons.
Backstory
For generations the Jeavu (gee-vu) tribe have lived and hunted the lands of Skyrim. They mastered the arcane art of destruction and were always seen carrying around a large heavy shield for protection. They soon evolved there way of combat to use both the shield and magic for an outstanding offensive assault. Each child is brought up and trained as a warrior but to rely on magic instead of as they call it puny sticks of metal and each child is told stealing is ok to get what you need but murder is not necessary. Quickly the tribe spread through the lands of Skyrim but as the soon civil war started the Imperial legion wiped out your tribe and kept news of the tribe a secret from the people to not loose their support, leaving only you a survivor by a stroke of dumb luck but as your people would call it faith. You being the lone survivor want revenge and as you were traveling you caught wind of the goings on near Helgen knowing the Imperials bastards might be there you took a chance and went, but when you got there you were ambushed along with the Stromcloaks and soon realizing who you were they took you captive to be executed.
