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…

[Shadowscale]

Cool, that means I can make small edits, right?

[Curse]

Yep. You can edit your build as you see fit until its judgement time. 

[Ramses the Rad]

I'm withdrawing, and I'm sorry for doing so.

The build has extermely boring gameplay that drags everything else down, and the character is over-written, with, frankly, a bland personality.

I'm out, I'm sorry, I'm excited to see everyone's contribution.

[Curse]

Im sure its a lot better than you think it is. Trust me. Its natural to have doubts as your build nears completion. I highly encouage you to see it through.

[Ramses the Rad]

I'd love for that to be the case- it isn't. But, I'll try. I don't promise anything, though. Thanks for the encouragement; I appreciate that.

[Netherman]

Hey guys. My build is finished in the WiP section. How do I submit it for the contest? 

[Curse]

I moved it no worries

[Netherman]

Holy crap, you work fast. 

[Dr. Long-Chapper]

Okay, so good news or bad news first?

Bad news, I got ya.

I can't do the Turning Wheel build. It's an Adamant build and while I love it. I just got hired for a new job and will possibly be hired for a second one next week, sooooo that'll kill my time to work on something that has so many different and new concepts with regard to both gameplay and roleplay and arts. 

That being said, I was thinking about all my pending build shit (there is so many) and one Vanilla build, with more than three playtests under her worn belt came to mind, and I think she's something I can definitely churn out rather quickly since all I had left to do was to incorporate a played through dlc, her writeup, secure her backstory, and reconceptualize her art. Sounds like a lot, but it actually isn't, because her playtest was long done. 

I see that I've not been changed from the Ideal Masters, so if I could be changed to Meridia, that would be swell. Sorry, to be such a pain in the ass about this. And to all the Oblivion fans out there, get ready for some nostalgia. :D
