The Monster Hunter was born to a hunter family of Riverhold. Father was a veteran tracker who was usually helping travelers to get by and Mother had a shop with alchemic ingredients. The young kitten even since small watched his father training with a bow and was stunned how elegant his way of releasing the arrow was. Of course his mother also tried to teach him her ways and they both began the teachings of magic and alchemy, most amazing for the young khajiit was Enchanting and tried to focus on it as much as he could between his Bow trainings.When the Khajiit came of age his father took him for a hunt to the woods, they settled a camp near a small lake and decided to go for a hunt, after a unsuccesful hunt they went back to the camp only to find it ripped to shreds. Father recognized the claw marking belonged to a were-lion, immediately they both started running towards Riverhold only to hear hellish roar behind them, Father told his son to not look back and keep running only to stumble over a root, his father tried to get him out of there but there was no time, they could hear the heavy breaths of the beast coming closer and closer, at last father was able to set free his sons foot but it was too late,in the forests darkness they could see two shining eyes of the beast, so father did the only thing he could, he grabbed a torch a started running the opposite direction to lure the beast away as his son grabbed his fathers bow and kept running toward riverhold. Exhausted he was able to run to the gates of riverhold only to hear a dying scream of his father, but before he could run to try to save him, his mother grabbed him and with all her will and strengh pull the hunter back to the house. Ever since that day the Hunter promised that he will hunt down the beast and bring back its head as a trophy. For next months the khajiit was sharpening his skills as a hunter. One faithfull night he two guards talking that they heard a beastial roar from the forest so the hunter grabed his fathers bow and ventured fully equiped into to forest after sundown to hunt down the beast. After a whole night of searching he find the were-lion in its lair feasting on a fresh kill. The hunted calmly draw an arrow from its quiver and silently pulled the bow and aimed with a fierce precision on the head of the beast and the released the arrow. The hunter started to cry as he saw the arrow burried deep in the beasts head only whispering “that is for you father” , he returned back to RiverHold triumfant with the head of a were-lion in a sack behind its back. As he returned home he finally knew what being a true hunter means, so he kept searching for more and more challenging hunts. One day he returned home only to find his mother dead in her bed with bottles of skooma all over the floor and a small note where she apologized but she just couldnt keep going without her husband. With great sorrow he did the traditional funeral for her and kept a small vial of her mane as a reminder. After few days he spent at the marketplace selling his spoils he overheard 2 nords talking about a legend of the werebears in Soltheim, with no hesitation the hunter packed all his belongings and ventured towards Skyrim from where he would get to Soltheim. After a long journey the hunter decided to camp outside the town of Helgen only to witness a giant flying beast with shining dark scales fly over his head towards the hills, his thought were obsessed with on thing only , find that creature and slay it. thank you for reading my first story, feel free to leave a comment what you liked and what you did not. Ill be posting some new stories soon

I've found a great many of the character mod backstories to be very interesting as to detail and content. Now, if only there were more of those stories that actually impacted on that NPC mod and their subsequent use in gameplay. I'd guess that is pretty tough to do or a lot more folks would be doing it.

Hi, so I have an idea for a quest mod. It goes kinda like this... You buy a book and the book is about a famous khajiit, that lived many hundred (thousand, millions.. doesn't matter) years ago. Yada, yada, he did something very interesting, made a pact with a daedric prince, became very powerful and did something even more interesting.... Legend has it that some ancient relic from the khajiit is in a cave in the southern most part of Skyrim.................. The full story is up to the mod author. Basically you go to the cave and at the end of it is "The eye of the famous khajiit" (I know khajiits have two eyes, but "THE eye" just sounds better.) When you pick up the eye, you get nightvision (The nightvision should preferably have infinite charges.. Afterall it wasn't just any khajiit, but a SPECIAL one) I came up with this idea, because i wanted to be able to have nightvision whilst not having to be a khajiit. And also for role-playing purposes. I wan't to have a backstory to why my character crossed the border to skyrim.. Having heard about the legend of the famous khajiit is reason enough for her to go to skyrim. English is not my native language, so if there's anything you want me to explain better, just tell me.. But i think you get the idea :smile:

Hello all skyrim Players. First of all i want to sorry for my english. I hope you will understand most of text below. I have a great idea (for me at least). What do You think about a dragonborn siblings? I think that it would be nice to meet a brother and travel with him across tamriel. What would be special about another follower? He should be dragonblood (but this is obvious), but the shouting follower already existing. So i rly hope that some good modders will be interested in idea and make a brother follower very special. Modding isn't my thing so I can write a back story and give some ideas to side quests maybe? First of all it would be great if he or she would act like a spouse, so he could live in your home with you, and after leaving you go back to home and wait for another adventure. Just give me you opinion about that. Thanks.

Hey, everyone! I'm planning to add an update to my Courier Outfits REDUX Mod. The update will include starter weapons which will replace the starter weapon that Doc Mitchell gives you before exiting his house. I need people that have some experience with the GECK, Nifskope & Texturing. Please either PM me or leave a comment on this topic if you wish to help with this mod.

Rune is a member of the Thieves Guild, who tells the Dragonborn about his life. After a shipwreck near Solitude, a child was washed up on shore. He could not recall anything of his life, not even his name. The only thing in his posession was a rock with strange writing on it. Because of this rock, the local fisherman, who found and raised him, named him Rune. As his adopted family was very poor, Rune turned to stealing. He tried to pickpocket a man named Brynjolf. Of course, Brynjolf let him join the Thieves Guild. Since then, Rune has been trying to make money to find out anything about his past. We can find a letter in a cupboard in the Thieves Guild, detailing how a man named Athel Newberry used "every source at his disposal" to find anything. He says Rune's parents seem to have "completely erased themselves from history". It seems like this was supposed to be a quest, but unlike Sapphire, Rune won't be getting an official quest. Let's change that. What are your ideas? Rune is an Imperial, if that helps. We could do anything. From the old pauper-to-prince story to making him come from a daedric plane of existence. We could even make him into Skyrims Son Goku, whatever you can think of! I have no experience in modding, but maybe somebody else is as interested in Rune and his past as I am. I'm offering myself as a sounding board, if that makes sense. We'd pretty much have complete creative freedom. :smile:

I came up with a roleplay story for my dunmer character recently, if you want to use it then use it. This is for people who roleplay a dunmer and need a decent backstory. So the story starts with my dunmer character fleeing from Morrowind as Red Mountain erupts. While he fled he witnessed his family and friends burning in the lava coming from Red Mountain. He went into shock and hasn't talked since. He fled to Cyrodil hoping to have a new life. But as he crossed the border, Imperials saw him and thought he was a daedra worsipper trying to help a daedra cult. They arrested him and took him to the Imperial City Prison. While in his cell he is taunted by Valen Dreth, who is also a dunmer prisoner, He is met by Emporer Uriel Septim who is fleeing from assassins who had killed his sons. He joins the Emporer and escapes the prision. Even though the Emporer was assassinated, he focused on getting as much money as possible in a honorly way. Not like the thieves and assassins all over Tameriel. Now, the rest is for you to decide...
