  Hey guys! This is my first post inspired by my main char. I hope you guys enjoy it and feel free to ask me anything.

  Irelia - The Northern Fury

  Irelia lost everything in the war against the Aldmeri Domain. His parents, both officers of the army, died honorably trying to defend their daughter, who at the time was not less than 10 years. Irelia grew up with much resentment against the Empire and the elves, with a strong and rebellious personality, she managed to make its name like a voracious and unforgiving warrior. She spent her whole adolescence as a wanderer, doing mercenary work and whenever possible training her handling with two-handed swords, her aptitude since she was little. She has never been interested in magic and has always seen it as a dangerous and hostile art. For the warrior only honor is found by sword and blood. Upon arriving in Witherun to join the Companions, the most respected guild in Skyrim, she soon fell in love with Aela the hunter who taught her everything she knew about the art of war and life on the battlefield. In the middle of one of his adventures, a dragon attacked her and felt a power latent in her soul, did not hesitate and killed the dragon with her sword. Irelia soon discovered that she had dragon blood running through her veins, a destiny and a prophecy connected her to this world.

  Personality: Rebellious and impulsive, nothing will stand in your way to prevent her from her goals. Her honor and justice are her moral compass, but she has no problem getting her hands dirty once in a while if he thinks it necessary. You want to see Skyrim free of the Empire and so fight alongside the Stormcloacks for that. Nourish a latent hatred by the upper elves and will - kill and then ask - if you come across one.

  
  Objectives: To become the most famous warrior in all of Skyrim, she wants to see her name echoing in the inns in songs of rejoicing and glory. Freeing Skyrim from the threat of the dragons and the Empire is their main goal. She will join Dawguard to prevent vampires from defeating the sun. Once in a while she likes to run in the wild in the werewolf form, but she is afraid of succumbing to bestiality and losing her way. There is a conflict at its core; Irelia sees the werewolf's power as the very personification of her free and rebellious spirit, but she knows that by dying she will forever serve Prince Hircine in his hunting grounds, which runs counter to her greatest dream: Dying in battle fighting for what believes and received in Sovergrade by its Nordic ancestors.

  
  Main Skills: Two Hands; Heavy armor; Block; Archery and Metallurgy.

  
  Build: Life >> Stamina >>> ; Magic. 
  
  Equipment: Beginning (Stormcloack officer armor and any two-handed sword) After (Dragon Armor and Ebony Sword).
  
  Companion: For the story, I highly recommend it to be Aela the hunter (to fit the story better, marry her). Yes, Irelia is lesbian! 

  
  Stone - Warrior (beginning) Lady (final). 
  
  Recommended Mod: Alternative Start (Start as a member of the Companions or join the Stormcloacks).
  
  Main Quests Order: Join the Companions > Defeat Alduin > Join Stormcloacks > Destroy the Dark Brotherhood > Join Dawnguard > Defeat Miraak.

  Hey there Antares, sorry nobody's commented here for the last few days, been relatively absent myself but I'll drop some thoughts. Just before I do, I wanted to let you know that one of the few real 'rules' for builds is that they need a full list of Perks, at the moment the general idea of the build shows but some of the specifics aren't there because you don't have a Perk List/Spread, I'd recommend checking out a few builds, like The Librarian's Daughter or The Paladin to get a better idea for some of the ways you can list the perks.

   

  Anyway, I think the character you've created is pretty interesting, I think you've got a clearly defined character written out and the progression works fairly well from start to end. I think there are a few flaws, most noticeably (for me at least) is that the gender of the character swaps from line to line, just a bit of a typo I assume, but I'd go through the buil and check that (caused more confusion at the beginning for me than later on). At the moment I think this is a solid start for a build, I think reading those builds that I mentioned earlier might shed more light than me just talking about building with you, but I would like to see the build fleshed out a bit more, especially regarding gameplay.

  Still, a fairly decent job for a first-time builder, the character-work so far is really nice and I'd absolutely love to see more of it :D Let me know if you have any questions/would like some help or clarification on anything, or just wanted to chat about builds :D
