Welcome to Tamriel, seat of Imperial power. The year is 433 as the third era comes to a close. Emperor Uriel Septim rules from the Imperial City, his influence felt as far away as Morrowind.

or he did, at least.

You shall be thrust into the forefront of history as your destiny intertwines with the fates of nations and emperors, from whatever humble beginnings you shall make your mark and become legend, with you go all hopes of the empire and of Tamriel herself.

The game starts you off in a prison cell, for an undetermined crime. Therein you meet Uriel Septim and his cadre of personal bodyguards, the blades. You are tossed into a maelstrom of political intrigue and adventure from word one, but before any of this you must determine who you are.

So I shall leave it up to you fine people to decide who our hero shall be. There are 10 playable races, each with 2 genders to choose from. (male and female, for those of you scratching your heads) Here is a basic synopses of all 10.

Imperial

Imperials are native to Cyrodiil, the province in which the game takes place. They are generally well liked and perform at least averagely in all aspects.

Khajiit

The khajiit are a race of catlike people from the province of Elsewyr, they are agile and lithe and adept at sneaking about.

Nord

Nords are the hearty, fair skinned people of the northern province of Skyrim. They are quite strong and make excellent warriors.

Orc

Barbarians from the Wrothgarian and Dragontail mountains, known for their toughness and skill at armor crafting.

Redguard

Originating in the province of Hammerfell, the Redguard are the most naturally talented warriors in all of Tamriel.

Wood Elf

The bosmer are barbarian elves from the western Valenwood forests, they make excellent scouts and their skill at archery is second to none.

Argonian

The enigmatic, reptilian denizens of Black Marsh are skilled in Guerilla warfare and enjoy a resistance to disease as well as the ability to breathe underwater.

Breton

The people High Rock, Bretons have a natural affinity for shaping magical forces to their will, and boast potent magical resistance.

Dark Elf

The Dunmer of Morrowind are known for their skilled integration of both blade and spell, making them powerful foes on the battlefield.

High Elf

The Altmer of the Summerset Isles are highly intelligent people with an innate magical aptitude.

I'd also like to present a few class ideas I thought up to make the game a bit more intriguing. Seeing as our hapless hero(ine) is without a past, we can pretty much come up with any occupation we want. Here are the one's I'd like you to consider when voting.

Cook
A dervish of deliciousness, a mad-macaroni mastermind. You add flair and spice to every dish!

Dancer
Whether for the entertainment of crowds or more... private affairs, you're a skilled and agile performer.

Sailor
Yo ho ho and a bottle of Skooma! A hearty man o' the sea is what ye be! he he!

Barkeep
You spent your nights chatting up the drunkies and mixing potent beverages, as well as taking care to ensure the rest of the Inn staff wasn't slacking off.

Farmer
You spent your time helping things to grow with time honored, traditional farming techniques, as well as a lot of back-breaking labor.

Thug
The boss says break some legs, you break some legs. You're not too bright, but you know how to get results.

Novelist/poet
A delicate soul in dangerous times, you know you'll write the next great novel, so long as you can survive long enough to put pen to paper.

Traveling Salesman
No road too long or sale too small! You're equal parts knowledgeable businessman and shady grifter.

Librarian
With your nose stuck in a book and an unnatural penchant for silence, you were bound to pick up something useful... if only you had your card catalog to reference those fencing diagrams.

So, to sum it up, I need you to vote on a race, gender and an occupation prior to your imprisonment. Also, if you want to come up with a reason we're in prison in the first place go for it!
