    Furrion 17 said: I wrote a Breton character build called The Shadow of Dawn and a fleshed out backstory for her recently. She too grew up in Wayrest, but her life was turned upside down during the Corsair attack in 188. Which eventually led her to finding out some intersting family secret's that were hidden away. Check it out if you like. I'd a lot of fun writing her. I thoroughly enjoyed reading both versions of your builds plus the backstory as well as watching the gameplay footage. I certainly think that Alayne and Estelle would get along well. :)

    Furrion 17 said: Oohh another intersting Breton, She sounds really cool Gailolm. I really like Tomb Raider. She'd be a cool character to do a profile or build on mate, sounds like you got a rather well thought out backstory and journey for her right there. I would have no idea how to create a build out of her character though the background I shared was, in fact, copy/pasted from a character profile I created for her when I once participated in an online Skyrim roleplay. I don't know if I'm allowed to post this link here but if not, I'll edit the post to delete it. I have Estelle's adventures recorded in the form of a visual storyboard via Steam screenshots - 15 pages of them! - in chronological order with text descriptions and set to Public viewing. Though I doubt anyone would have the patience to scroll through all of them, clicking on a few of them here and there will give an overview of her story.https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198146468992/screenshots/?p=1&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=grid&privacy=14 Furrion 17 said: I wrote a Breton character build called The Shadow of Dawn and a fleshed out backstory for her recently.

I've got both of those links open now and will definitely give them a read. :) KhaosRiivy said: Very interesting, Jocilyn and Estelle may get along. One book lover to another! Splendid! She sounds like a real treat!   I just scrolled back and re-read Jocilyn's character description. I'm sure Jocilyn and Estelle may have encountered one another in the Arcaneum at the College of Winterhold. :) This post was edited by GailOlm at August 15, 2018 8:05 AM EDT

    My canon character is Estelle Dubois, a 38 year old Breton “librarian" from Daggerfall, High Rock. She's petite, has short brown hair and green eyes. Estelle is Dragonborn, Harbinger, Archmage, Guild Master and Nightingale, Thane of all holds (except Eastmarch), and allied with the Dawnguard. Her alignment is neutral good. Her preferred combat style is stealth archery combined with illusion spells. She resides in Vlindrel Hall, Markarth with Teldryn Sero and their war dog, Vigilance. Her father is Guillaume Dubois, proprietor of the Millworks in Daggerfall, and a descendant of Antoine Dubois, who was once the owner of Dubois and Sons Carpentry. Her mother is Jeanne Dubois, Master of Enchanting, and a Court Mage at Daggerfall Castle. Her brother is Celann, a warrior and vampire hunter, and a member of the Dawnguard. Estelle was born in Daggerfall, High Rock to a middle class family. Growing up she enjoyed reading books as well as spending time out of doors or at her father’s Millworks. From an elderly Bosmer hunter who assisted her father in the Millworks, Estelle learned archery and the two would hunt together in nearby forests. During this time Estelle realized the importance of stealth while tracking prey. From her mother Estelle inherited a love of books and magic. Displaying a Breton’s natural aptitude for magic, Estelle learned various illusion and conjuration spells as well as some basic healing spells from the court mages who worked alongside her mother. As might be expected, Estelle picked up some knowledge of enchanting from her mother and hoped to become more proficient with continued study. From her father, though not directly, Estelle learned how to pick locks by practicing on the chests and wardrobes he crafted and repaired at the Millworks. Due to her love of books and because of her mother’s position in the Castle, Estelle was permitted to spend time in the Castle library. As she grew older, Estelle began working at the library where she would assist the head librarian in the cataloguing of books, spell tomes, journals and letters acquired by the library. Seeing that she was capable, Estelle was encouraged by the head librarian to accompany the mercenaries who sought out and brought various tomes to the library in exchange for coin. Many of the books were rare and fragile and though Estelle was mainly along to insure that the books weren’t manhandled by the mercenaries, she realized she could hold her own in combat situations. As she became more experienced, Estelle would set out on her own in search of ancient tomes, often traveling far afield. Eventually she ended up near the border of Skyrim. Laden down with a backpack full of heavy books, she accepted the offer of a ride on horseback from a Nord man dressed in ragged clothes who introduced himself as Lokir of Rorikstead. After the events at Helgen, Estelle remained in Skyrim where she now acquires books through buying, trading, searching old ruins, or other means and provides them to shops or collectors. Estelle is sort of like a Lara Croft style tomb raider, only instead of artifacts, she's in search of books.     This post was edited by GailOlm at August 10, 2018 8:39 PM EDT

    Ebonslayer said: GailOlm said: perhaps it's as soly mentioned - in life threatening situations where one runs on adrenaline, the skills develop faster out of neccessity as opposed to a slower growth during formal training. Actually, real combat would actually be much slower to get better than real training. If combat skills were based completely off physical prowess (strength and speed) it'd be a different story but physical prowess is actual a very small factor in a sword fight, what matters the most is technique. In training you don't just fight, you are taught to pay some attention to the technique of your master and you can safely do so, in fact its encouraged that you lose a few times just to see how they win, in a real combat situation you pay less attention to those things as you are in a fight for your life, you will still get slightly better as you learn things like edge alignment and deflecting attacks but you can't really pay attention to their technique, you just react. I hadn't thought about it that way but it makes sense, especially in light of real life examples such as military or law enforcement training. Though we obviously don't have magic to look at in a real life example, I imagine it would follow the same principle.

    Ebonslayer said: GailOlm said: As for leveling up these skills, she would naturally become more proficient the more she used them and/or possibly has a natural affinity in these areas. For skills such as archery, sneak, enchanting, and lockpicking "level-ups" would occur because the more these type of skills are "practiced" the better she will become at these skills. Also with archery, she encountered a Nord ranger living high up in the mountains of Falkreach who was able to teach her more about accuracy, speed, and precision when using a bow (incorporating game play into roleplay). But none of that explains why they increase so quickly. It'd take years to master even one of these skills and you can do it in mere months. Other than a natural talent or affinity for it which allows the player to gain proficiency in these skills at an unusually fast rate, possibly the explanation that Shinjin theorized - the player is destined to play a pivotal role in coming world events and is able master the skills needed to rise to the occassion. With combat skills, such as sneak and archery, perhaps it's as soly mentioned - in life threatening situations where one runs on adrenaline, the skills develop faster out of neccessity as opposed to a slower growth during formal training. This is an intriguing topic! It's fascinating reading all of these theories! This post was edited by GailOlm at January 31, 2018 10:02 PM EST
