Fantastic presentation and artwork! Also, I'm a sucker for builds that feature Become Ethereal... love that shout. Now to check out the other Alessia build :)

I was JUST thinking about that. I remember thinking, "Why has no one else picked this? Alessia is such an amazing character!" xD I typically play Bretons or Imperials. But at least you took the time to make everything look gorgeous. I am, unfortunately, a chronic procrastinator. I've had the idea and the playthrough done forever, but then I went and decided to play one character, then the Seraphim came out and I had to try that... It was kinda downhill from there. 

So early in the contest and we have 2 build based upon the same character. Anyway I like the focus this build has and the way you presented it and it seems like an original play style. Also would I be guessing right that the inspiration for the ability is Tobi.

Great build, but what I really love is the presentation. The use of the dark red highlights in the write up to match the red accents in the character shots is simple, but brilliant.

I wish I could like it twice, once for a good build and once because... pretty.

Fantastic work, I'm really looking forward to playing this Character. The introduction, RP and presentation sold me in a second. Well done, Arma!

Is it bad that I would have given you a like just for that, I mean as long as it wasn't horrible.

Easy like, but one question: did you usually use the amulet of talos or the self enchanted amulet of kings from your gear picture?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you switched around level 37 in a quick re-read of the build. My apologies

Well done, Arma! Really clever use of Become Ethereal, especially given how well it complements the dual wielding focus. Granted, if you want to REALLY optimize it, you could add Illusion (for Aspect of Terror) and Alchemy (for Fortify Destruction potions) to get 60+ DPS on those flame cloaks. But of course, that's not really appropriate for this build... 

I really love your presentation as well. Clean, structured, nice use of color, good spacing! And a really well written introduction, and a strong lore foundation. Really fits the contest well, in addition to providing a nice backdrop for the gameplay in general.

How did you strike a balance between One-handed, Archery, and Destruction? That is, which did you find yourself using the most/least, how did you approach a typical scenario, etc.? Also, did you keep your swords unenchanted?

I've heard the Lady stone is rather finicky when it comes to playing with Ethereal and/or Fortify Restoration potions. I think maybe Phil (?) was testing out variations on that a while back and found that sometimes his health actually regenerated *more slowly* with Ethereal active, and a combination of Eternal Spirit and the Lady. Maybe that's wrong, but I swear something like that came up a while back. Did you notice anything similar?
