Skaila Tag

Tagged by

The guidelines are easy.
1. Pick one Dragonborn character you have (It can be your favourite Dragonborn, your newest one or the one you had one of the weirdest playthrough with, but just one)
2. Answer a couple of questions, you can add some questions afterwards.
3. Pick (or not) two or three people and tag them.

Since last time I told you about my Imperial thief Bron isriana.deviantart.com/journal… I guess it's just fair that now is Skaila's turn. So here is some info about her...



Tell us a little bit about your Dragonborn. Who they are, what race they are, you know, the basic stuff.

Name: Skaila Skaran
Age: 23
Race: Nord
Birthplace: Town of Winterhold (what's left of it anyway)
Weapon of choice: Axe of Whiterun
Deity of choice: Talos
Stone of choice: Lover Stone
Follower of choice: Lydia/Erik the Slayer

Here is Skaila quite a bit younger, with some additional info about her background in the description:



What type of person are they? Will they help the helpless, or will they stab someone in the back after getting paid?

Skaila is your average nice girl who tries to help people whenever she can. Being born and raised in Winterhold, however, has made her a bit wary of magic users (since the public opinion in town is that the Great Collapse was initially College mages' fault). During past few years she has done some traveling as a mercenary, so she has seen the world a bit and thus expanded her views of different people.

Where does your Dragonborn live? Have they got a nice little house in Whiterun, or the ridiculously expensive manor in Solitude?

So far she has a house in Whiterun as well as her family's old house in Winterhold. About the latter one – big thanks goes to this lovely "Winterhold Adobe" mod steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles… Doesn't it look just cozy?



Does your Dragonborn make their own equipment (weapons/armour/potions/enchantments) or are they utterly lazy and keep looting everything they use?

Skaila is a decent blacksmith, and a little bit weaker in both enchanting and alchemy.  Her mother was a bit of an alchemist, though, so she is capable of brewing a decent healing potion and few other usables.

Did your Dragonborn get married and who was the lucky person? And how did they find married life?

She's not married yet. Skaila is rather fond of Erik the Slayer, but alas, seems that he's not marriable. So time (and whatever mods I can find) will tell...

Do you have any favourite Shouts? And any favourite moments using a Shout?

Fire / Frost Breath have proven to be most useful so far.

It happened to us all, the Dragonborn got an early ticket to Sovengarde. So whats the dumbest way you got yours killed?

All those times when I got killed by a dragon/spriggan/wispmother/flame atronach just because I went "oooh, looks epic" in the middle of the battle, and was too busy taking screenshots. But them monsters just look too cool!



Almost done. Did you join any groups? Or did you just run around doing your own thing?

Companions and Bard's College. And yes - lots and lots of aimless running, too. I have barely got started with either of factions...

Imperial or Stormcloaks? Your thoughts?

Stormcloaks. Most of Winterhold is sympathetic to Ulfric's cause, and Skaila's father joined Stormcloaks almost instantly when the order was founded. Also, Talos being the deity of choice for my Nord girl and her family, it wasn't difficult to decide where her loyalties lie.

(Other than that I kind of understand both sides of the war. I feel that the Empire is not what it used to be after last of the Septims died, and I get why Stormcloaks would be unhappy with the decisions made after the Great War (as necessary as they may have been) and feel that they would do better on their own. On the other hand, I get why the Legion is so eager to suppress the rebellion even with drastic means - if the Empire crumbles and falls into separate squabbling regions it just helps Thalmor on their mission to conquer all of Tamriel. So yeah, I really don't know which side I'm personally on... )



I tag:


...and everyone else who feels like doing it.
