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…

[Chris Diokno]

Maybe do one around say, Vaermina or the like? Or look on UESP, they got a list of deities

[Shadowscale]

What's wrong with Hollowjack? He's the daedra Lord of fear and rules over his own demi-plane of Oblivion. I would say that he's a pretty viable option. My main question is just whether I could have a character that is an aspect of Hollowjack.

[Chris Diokno]

Oh, I thought it was a crossover type dealio

[Dr. Long-Chapper]

If you can prove that he operates under the spectre of one of the recognized Daedric princes, then I can see it. Reading his lore page had me rolliing my eyes a little, but there is a teeny note in the end that connects him with Hircine. I don't mean to sound like an ass if you like ESO, but he's basically what Xenomax came up with so they could have Halloween events. But like I said, if you can convincingly prove that he serves a Daedric prince, then there could be more to the idea. 

[Shadowscale]

In Legends, Hollowjack is shown with a depiction of Hircine. Also, wolves can be summoned from Detritus, implying that Detritus might have some connection to the Hunting Grounds.

[Shadowscale]

So...am I allowed to do this? I have a theory that's supported by real lore that means that Hircine is possibly the creater of Hollowjack. I already started working on this and just have a few pictures and other finishing touches to add.

[Curse]

Sorry took so long to get back. I say for for it. 

[Shadowscale]

Thank you! I got pictures so I'll probably upload it soon.

[Shadowscale]

Alright, it's posted. Is there anything else that I have to do to register?

[Curse]

No youre all set. You actually have til the end of the month to post the actual build but now is just as good.
