The Player Character

I'm going to start a new character for this and directly put them into Skyrim with CREL. No going back to Morrowind unless there are related quests.

First Ideas

I can't help it, I'm a contrarian. I want to play against type. Argonian Nerevarine, Altmer Dragonborn, a CoCyrodiil that doesn't look like a sack of potatoes beaten with a bat and left in a wet place for a week (impossible). So I decided to go to Skyrim as a Mer rogue-type. I suspect the Reach setting of SHotN is more conducive to a blood-guzzling barbarian which is what makes this fun.

 I've never actually played an Agent, and I never actually played a female Dunmer so I decided to try those out.

 Class

According to UESP:


I intend to stick to those Skills, almost entirely. In a wide open sandbox, roleplay also means limiting yourself. Scrolls and commercial potions are allowed of course. I will use on-use enchanted items only if they're artifacts or important to my character(rewards for interesting quests for example). It's going to be impossible (I think) to climb ranks in the Fighter and Mage Guilds with those Skills (but also I'm not sure if those guilds are in SHotN). The one killing skill is Short Blade. Given that I can Conjure, Bound Dagger is in play, but I feel it is OP on a new character so I may try another mod to balance it! Or limit myself to the Conjuration effects of Command and Turn which are more agent-like?

I think a cute roleplaying implication from those skills would be using Light Armor for the wilderness and dungeons and swanky clothes for the City.  Block doesn't fit my image of an agent at all unless there are small bucklers or parrying daggers in the game. Sneak will as always be frustrating in the beginning.

Race

I looked for lists of Morrowind faces and found this little tool. Combining a roguish but near-professional hair-do and one of the most expressive interesting faces I arrived at this dry beauty:

Head 3 and Hair 13 apparently

Between the white hair and the not-young face she appears rather old but that's fine with me. I could retexture the hair in dark red but nah it's cool.

Name

After some UESP reading I decided on Un Ravel, short for Sera Unila Ravel. The nickname is also a pun in Tamrielic but the way she pronounces it people need a while to catch on. She is in fact related to the Ravel ancestral crypt. If the name has a deeper meaning, and if it is on the side of Mephala or Sheogorath, remains to be seen.

Backstory, Personality, Tenets, and so on?

Will be revealed to the Reader and myself during this adventure!

Grasp fortune by the forelocks.

Un starts picking a trader's brain on how to make an honest coin around here... ...Interesting. A little bit of detective work, maybe. A...
