    Nice, a little more work and it's something that will give some other builders goosebumps XD, well done :)

    I gotta say, I can totally dig the way that you've incoperated Lore into this build mate, I'd honestly forgotten about the Marukhati Selective as a base but I really enjoyed the way you've done it. At this point I'd recommend presentation and tagging but I did see your comment in the Main Contest Thread so I'll wait until you've completely finished before dropping in and talking about that. (EDIT: Or I'll go into some presentation recommendations in about 10 minutes...I misread your comment somehow and I hope I can help out)

    Anyway, back to Lore. I was wondering if you were planning on incorporating the idea of splitting Akatosh and Auri'El into the build in some way. It could be a really interesting character that seeks some interesting way of splitting the Imperialistic deity from the Elven one, though I can see that being incredibly difficult to Roleplay. It really is an interesting aspect of the Selective though, and other than hatred of Elves I was wondering if you'd at least had any plans to add it in.

    Congratulations on your first build (?) mate, it really is an interesting start and I'll wait to see what else is included.

    An awesome look into the Imga! I'll bet playing as an eliminator of the Mer folk must have kept you pretty busy... from a building standpoint, that's a wonderful occupational selection. I also really like the monk vibe this your backstory and RP give it.

    I know it's been said already, but getting some images all up in this bad boy will do wonders for its reception. I also appreciate builds that give me a bit of insight into how they approach combat with their character. Whether through a dedicated Combat section, pieced throughout the skills section, or placed within the Gameplay section--it's nice to know how a character survives in Skyrim ;D

    Again, good job on this. I look forward to seeing the updates! :D

    Im glad you got this in on time. Not a whole lot is known about the Imga outside of their obsession with the elves, so this build is a treat. An Imga that despises elves? Now that is an interesting twist. 

    I noticed a distinct lack of pictures in your build, which is a shame because the write up itself is very nice. A good picture or two is worth a 1000 words a piece. I took the liberty of finding some more images of the Imga for you. I hope you like them. Granted a lot of these are from the quest mod "Moonpath to Elsewyr". I highly recommend you give that mod a try if you play on PC.

    I can touch up that second image for you if you'd like.

    This is a very short but very sweet build you got here RedImga! Glad you got it in before the deadline. I really like the background of this character, the Imga are something I always saw as sort of buffoonish but you make them look like badasses, so kudo's to you.

    The presentation still needs some work, right now it's just a wall of text and the perk spread is a bit confusing to look at, I'd suggest contacting the art group to see if they can put together a perk spread image for you.

    Also your tags need to be corrected. Try this for instance.

    “Character Build Warrior”, “Character Build Alchemist”, “Rank:Bloodworks”, “Contest5”, “Race:Orsimer”

    A good build, a few pictures might be able to spice it up a bit. Earns my +1.

    One thing though, the Imga are usually obsessed with Elven culture and try to be like the Altmer, did I miss something where you explained why this one is different?

    That's a good question, the Alessian order was founded by a unique imga who despised the elves. This Imga has similar views and is part of a sect that seeks to remove elven influence from Tamriel.

    I'm really impressed with how deep into the lore you went on this.

    Not bad at all, particularly for a first build. Like the others have said though, some additional pictures would help. I also recommend expanding on your gameplay section more. Right now, it says a lot about the build's roleplay, but not enough about your build's playstyle when it comes to combat.
