No matter what I do, I keep coming back to stealthy characters. It always seemed to me that getting in, completing your objective, and escaping unnoticed is the real show of skill, plus the idea of creeping around like a ghost is incredibly fun to me. I've done a lot of variations on the theme--an Argonian werewolf with the Ebony Blade, a Breton summoner/duelist, an Altmer nightblade--but they all use stealth at least in part.  I also see myself using a lot of "alternative magic"--trying to create a new magic system within the Elder Scrolls framework. I've tried a few variations on the blood mage archetype, but my last one was a Nordic barbarian who used "magicka-less magic": basically stuff like shouts, unlimited concentration casting, and the Bloodskal Blade. Really weird and fun. I always, ALWAYS perk Silent Casting in the Illusion tree. It's just too useful to pass up. My favorite character is actually the one I'm playing right now: a Khajiit necrovamp monk/acrobat that's got some awesome synergy going between Vampiric Grip, Aura Whisper, and necromancy. I want to experiment with it some more, but I'm confident that I'll have it posted within a few weeks. 

A bookshelf containing a copy of every spellbook in the game. And if that doesn't count, then I'd have to go with Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana. I WILL become master of the arcane, dammit.

Nocturnal. I appreciate her no-nonsense attitude towards her worshipers.

"Mankar Camoran is a moron being played by a Daedric Prince who is being played by another Daedric Prince."  Okay, so Camoran is being used as a convenient patsy by Mehrunes Dagon. Makes sense to me; I think that's pretty apparent just from a cursory run-through of Oblivion. But who's the "other Daedric prince" Mehrunes Dagon's being played by? Molag Bal? We already know from ESO that he's already tried to take over Tamriel once.
