Gods & Mortals - A Skyrim Character Building Contest

[Curse]

Well its been long overdue but its finally here! The much anticipated 4th Skyrim Character Building contest is live. With that we're proud to present...

The Elder Scrolls: Gods and Mortals

For this contest we wanted to try our hand at a theme revolving around the many higher beings found in The Elder Scrolls while granting contestants as much freedom as possible, and with gods of all kind being the center focus, this contest will grant contestants more freedom than they've ever had before. In this contest we'll be exploring the connections shared between mortal kind and the many gods which inhabit the Aurbis.

There are no limits or restrictions on the skills, mods or equipment you may use. Use whatever you want. BUT your entry must revolve around one or more deities within TES. The Elder Scrolls series is rich with a multitude of god like figures for you to work with - and you're by no means limited to simply the Divines or the Dardric Princes. Any higher being within the TES universe - anything from Sithis to even Mannimarco - is fair game.  Your character is by no means limited to simply being a champion acting on behalf of your chosen deities either. So long as your chosen deity remains the centerpiece of your build in some capacity you're free to do whatever. Your only real limitation is your imagination.  You may work in teams of no more than 3 people total. 

Once the competition closes, a panel of judges (see below) will judge each submitted build based on the criteria below and announce the winners! Here are the prizes…

[ShadowKihn]

Sign me up for the Wilderking then

[Telby]

Not sure if it's necessary to include but figured I might as well, my build plays on themes of Arkay, as well as Alduin & Mannimarco. Though it revolves around Nocturnal.

[LordBayle]

Hello, first ever post on the site actually but I've had an idea for a while for a build that worshipped the entire Daedric pantheon as different facets of a singular entity kind of like Chaos Undivided from Warhammer 40k. Would that be acceptable or to general?

[Henson]

Well it does say "deity or deities" so multiple is fine - sounds like a big idea!

If you can make that many deities being involved work somehow then I would definitely be interested. Worshipping the entire Daedric line up of princes though? Lots of conflicting ideals and ways of life in my opinion but if you got something in mind go for it!

[LordBayle]

I have no idea if Ill get anything done before the cut off date but Ill give it my best effort.

[Netherman]

Hey guys, I'm Netherman (or Nether, if you want). I am new to sharing my builds, but I hope I can still participate in the contest to get some feedback. My deity is going to be Molag Bal.

[Netherman]

Also, I'm new to this site. So, do I have to do anything to register?

[ShadowKihn]

No you just tell them and eventually the will update the list at least that's what i'm assuming

 

[Netherman]

Oh ok, thanks Shadow.

[ShadowKihn]

your welcome I'm new too
