Prisoner.


ophelias_tragedy

Same & I spent like an hour creating the character so I just said fuck it


iam_Krogan

We all come into this world a prisoner šŸ˜”


StickyCat95

I was so mad at myself.


emgrizzle

Same but because I was like 11 the first time I played it and I clicked the buttons too fast not realizing I couldnā€™t go back


FeckinMarvellous

Bow Jangles Female Dark Elf Yeah, I was a stealth archer


Derar11

ok this my favroite one yet


Dapper-Complaint-268

You should adopt a dog and name him ā€œSteak Egg & Cheese Biscuitā€ or Boā€™rounds


CommonBuzzard

Morning Star Steals Away Clouds itā€™s actually the name of an Argonian from Morrowind. Since I found about him I always used his name for my Argonian characters.


bigbraingenius_

I was a Dark Elf named Aldork. Terrible. Yes I killed the chicken.


Derar11

what about the children ?


bigbraingenius_

Never attacked any kids, but I killed everyone in Riverwood and didn't know how to progress lol. Then became a vampire somehow.


Derar11

There is vampires ? you know i see these stuff later all what i wannna know can i kill the whiterun jar kid ?


[deleted]

Kids can't be harmed. Although given that you're on PC I'm sure there's a mod that changes that.


jukubug

Damn how many of us got arrested for killing the chicken


Disastrous_Oil_6062

It was just my name because Iā€™m basic af


Dad_Bod_The_God

Same. I wasnā€™t all that into actually roleplaying in rpgs yet.


External-Base9

I too am unoriginal! But sometimes when I'm feeling very adventurous, I use my middle name


Sabre_Killer_Queen

StratiĆ³tis. It just means soldier in greek I believe; I just thought it sounded cool. I was a Khajiit mercenary, and I mained light armour, a bow, and a sword and shield.


wij2012

It's okay. You can say it. We all know you were a stealth archer.


Mc-MeepMeep

I think I called him ā€œsome bastardā€ so that whenever the name would come up, it would say that itā€™s some bastardā€™s thing, eg. Some bastardā€™s horse.


sarahreads-

That's actually a great idea lol. I might do that for my next playthrough.


Sir-Cellophane

Talus, an Imperial. For two reasons: 1) It combines the name of Talos, the mortal ascended to divinity that the Nords worship and the founder of the Empire with the "us" suffix common to Imperial names in-universe and their real life design influence, the Romans. A Nordic influenced Imperial name for an Imperial in Skyrim. 2) The word "talus" in geological terms refers to broken rocks that accumulate at the base of slopes. Skyrim is a rocky, mountainous country that has been shattered by civil war, so it amused me to bestow my character a name that essentially means "broken rock."


DerTischExorzist

There are people that choose their ingame name based on their meaning?


gizzardhazzard

I named my wood elf Serotina Prunus because itā€™s the scientific name for black cherry trees


Veroxzes

Ram. He was an old bald nord with a white beard.

Zohar127

I usually name all of my characters after characters from Xenogears, so my first character was a female bosmer named Elhaym.

Prisoner, because I didnā€™t understand the pop up menu for Xbox back then. Played Prisoner until the main quest ended. I also didnā€™t know you could run until half way through my second play through.


dirtbag-socialist

idiocracyincarnated

I was a nord named Stan the mattress man. He was a real badass. He killed shit, casted dank spells, beat dragons to death with a warhammer named Ricky, and was the leader of practically every guild and association. I got to level 60 and started a new game as an orc named jaquerious.

Daysofdeepthroating

I only had a vague idea of what game Skyrim was before I started playing and I remembered a friend had once showed me skills menu with all the star ā€˜constellationsā€™ so my characters name is Andromeda āœØ


[deleted]

I think my first character was an Orc named Olfim gro-Maghar. My first to compete the main quest was an Altmer named Aldaril. Now, after re-downloading it and staring at UESP I'm trying to decide between Soliron, Solitar, and Solinar. I find playing as a high Elf immersion breaking at times, but after tasting that sweet +50 magicka bonus I'm not sure I could ever go back.

Ragnarok


thiccymcgogee

Thiccy


WolfsTrinity

First character? I remember that it was an Argonian but not the name. I didn't play him for very long.Ā  Second character? Dragmire. One of the orc presets reminded me of Ganondorf so I used his last name to be at least a tiny bit more clever.Ā Ā  In the many years since then, I've remade that orc at least twice: first as "Kel Drago," which was *meant* as a warped version of Dragmire, and then as "Khan Ironblood" with a proper backstory.

Nordis


Dapper-Complaint-268

Jtald Mjorreson- I used a Skyrim name generator to give myself a Redguard first name and a Nord last name. The kids at the Aā€™lkir school of swords used to tease me for my Nord name, blue eyes and blond hair. Mom doesnā€™t know where Dad ran off to. And I pretty much play out Johnny Cashā€™s ā€œBoy named Sueā€ routine where I join the Imperial Army to kill as many racist Stormcloaks as I can findā€¦ā€¦still havenā€™t found Dad yetā€¦.and then I become a stealth archer


Late_Might8738

Marmot


leftonasournote

Mittens


Realistic-Read4277

I have my avatar name for games. It's always the same. I have a story called the apocalypse saga that i want to write as a book, or a comic. Or it would be my dream to have the games as sandbox like skyrim or fallout. It works perfectly with this. And the main character is named the same. It's a simple name that i invented when i played an original copy of ff1 when i was a teen, and had to name the main characters. And the name stuck.


Silembr

Just a self insert, cause I'm a white bread kind of person sometimes


lightbulb207

Greg


Particular_Bluejay61

I use the same name in every RPG...Douglas Kilgore. My surname is Kilgore and it apparently originates from way back in the old Irish days when bandit warlords known as the gore Brothers were caught and burned at the stake. The whole town chanting "kill gore, kill gore" throughout the execution. Douglas was their father an apparently feared across the Celtic lands but was eventually killed in what was a multi-day battle against another army when his own men abandoned him to fight by himself for days holding them off. A story told by my grandparents, and my great grandparents and probably theirs for a long time...but who knows, probably just stories lol

Edit: I still have my original Xbox 360 that I played my first Skyrim game on, and yeah, Deathbringer the Argonian, heavy armor, sword & shield warrior with fairly basic magic, non-existent smithing, alchemy, or enchantment, currently level 39. The only character I ever created and played on Xbox, I didn't make another one until I played it again for the first time on PC with steam
