    Attitude to undead: The dead should stay dead.

    Vintus comments:

    "What surprised me most about Durgaz when learning to know him, is that he is a very good lockpick. In fact he might be an expert at it, but would never admit to it. When i asked him he just answered gruffly: "Why i know locks? I make locks". Which i suppose makes sense in some weird way. In any case, I never expected this gruff imperial orc, a very honest fighter, and indeed a very honest and law-abiding person to also be extremely skilled in lockpicking."

     

    Position/expertise:

    Durgaz currently serves as the guild smith for the Relic Hunters at the dragonborn museum.

    Nice Profile, Tolveor! I. Love. Orcs. So I love this, especially when they serve with the Legion - something about a massive green dude in the ranks with a normal dude just appeals to me.

    You hint at some really interesting stuff here - especially the factions he's associated with (or faction, are the Relic Hunters and the Museum the same?). What I'd really like to see is more about that. How'd he join? What is his relationship like with other members? What are his goals and are they based on the faction or not? My lore's a bit shaky, so I'm not sure if this is your own creation or based on established lore, but either way I'd really like to see it expanded.

    Adding thay he still keeps his Imperial cloak (and avoids getting it mucky) and still has a positive relationship with the Legion really defines this character. He actually cares about his time serving and didn't just see it as a job like many other veterans in Skyrim do. Adds some nice depth there.

    A quick note regarding presentation. Could you change the title of the Profile to Profile: Durgaz? Just adding that colon would make it fit in with other profiles which would be nice. And perhaps think about adjusting the font? It's not bad, but some people may struggle reading the italics for the whole thing.

    Really cool profile mate, looking forward to more in the future! And this is stickied :)

    Hey Zonnon, thanks for the kind words.

    Changed the font a bit as well as edited the title. Also thanks for the tips about what you would like to see. This is my first one, and the first of many I hope. The idea is that I have played about 5 characters now, and all are members of the same guild. This is an ongoing playthrough, so I don't know about his motivations yet, but maybe we get his story from him though. For now, this is collected data from the perspective of another character in the guild and the currator. My plan is to reveal more details gradually as i play all the characters and get to know more of their story. Maybe I will add a "describe yourself" section in the personell records though. Also, as the other members of the guild gets posted, I think i might add a "describe this guy" section from each characters viewpoint or something like that. I don't know yet as it's an ongoing project.

    Really like that concept mate, characters being connected together is something I've always been a fan of but have a hard time implementing, so kudos for going for it! Generally if something is 100% completed it should be in the Workshop, but as all the necesarry info is already here this is fine. I like watching characters progress anyway :)
