I recently started a new PC, a Bosmer by the name of Roshandhal. This guy is quite different to Zar, in that he's basically a thief with a bit of magic thrown in. And his personality is quite different too - first of all he's extremely grumpy with having been dumped here in Vvardenfall, secondly he's got absolutely no wish to help the Empire in any way - they let him go free, great. "Power and money will be mine! And then revenge!" are basically his thoughts on the matter.
So his core stats are AGI and SPE, his main skills are Short Blade, Marksman, Stealth, Security and Light Armour, with secondary skills Merchant, Speech, Armourer, Illusion and Block. He's only 5th level at the moment, and his best skill is Stealth at 62. AGI and SPE are both at 70. I've found AGI is quite hard to train, too.
Arriving at Sedya Neen, Rosh was very, very grumpy. He back-talked to the Imperials, almost refused to carry their package (he seriously thought about dumping it in the nearest pond) and wasn't really interested in being their messanger boy. Once they let him out, he skulked around Seyda Neen, breaking into houses, looting the locals and causing trouble. Luckily, none of the guards saw anything, although he was forced to kill a couple of the local commoners, for being both smelly and for hold items which Rosh wanted.
Rosh gave Fargoth his ring and then stole it back, broke into Fargoth's house and stripped it clean, found the dead tax collector and spent the money. Killed the murderer and stripped his house clean. Killed the tax collector's girlfriend (hey, that ring was worth cash!). Rosh eventually had to leave, as there was nothing else to steal around!
Arriving in Balmora, he thought to dump the package ASAP, and then ignore this "Caius" guy from then on. Rosh found the Thieves Guild - a group of like-minded individuals - and signed up. Stole a diamond from the alchemist, no problems. Picked clean every house he could get into (one or two have doors which are too obvious at the moment).
Eventually he decided to drop off this package. Wandering into Caius's place, he passed the package over and went to leave. When Caius told him he was joining the Blades, Rosh laughed in his face. After recovering from the beating Caius gave him, Rosh agreed to join up. Privately he swore to slice Caius into very small pieces and feed his remains to the Nix-hounds.
After several more days of sneaking about Balmora, picking locks and stealing everything not nailed down (well, somethings that were nailed down as well. And the nails), Rosh decided to wander off north (all these assassins are making him very jumpy, too). He's heard of some more towns about (Caldera and Alh'Ruhn) and is planning to go and pick them clean as well. And then, he thinks he'll head off to Vivic, and pick that clean as well! None of this "help the Empire blah blah blah" rubbish.
Will keep you posted. Note that with this PC I'll join the Morag Tong, and try to complete the Thieves Guild quests. He's joined the Mage Guild and Fighter's Guild as well, and House Hlaalu, but Thieves Guild/Morag Tong take priority.
Cheers,
TGHO
