Help with background

Hello everyone. Recently I wanted to play a class I've never tried before - pure mage. I've have already picked ton of mods for my game(spell addons, perk overhauls, dd and so on) but I've no idea of roleplay. I mean, how did my Ningheim sorceress came to Skyrim: by some accident or she had always lived there. So much possibilities to choose. Also maybe you can give me some ideas about her traits, behavior, something for good roleplay. I will be very grateful for any idea.

As you said, there are many possibilities, so it'd be nice if you could help narrow it down. Do you want your playthrough to be dead serious or lighthearted? Good or evil? Do you plan on doing any vanilla questlines? What about Sexlab mods? Vampirism? Do you want to master all schools of magic or will you focus on one or two of them?

 

The more you consider those questions, the better idea you'll have of what kind of character you want to play, and it'll be easier for others to give you pointers.

 Hmm, I've thought about it. I plan to make generally very weak in melee combat because her main weapon is magic: spells, scrolls and staves. I think she should use magic to complete every possible task (easy way), so she just need to master every school of magic. Due this, she surely would go to Winterhold College(and probably get belted). She also seeks the ways to improve her powers, so Hermeus Mora's and other Daedra quests are acceptable. Neverthless she stays good-aligned(chaotic-good, maybe). Main Questline is acceptable too(the Nirn needs to be saved). In general, all quests are acceptable(except Companions, Dark Brotherhood and some other evil Daedric Quests). Vampirism is good thing for her too. It's just another way to increase power. Lycanthrophy is not(I don't think it would fit the mage).

 SexLab mods. I've got loads of them. Drain life mod , Dibellian Markings Mod, Angirim Apprentice - only tools to obtain a power. About darker themes- well, she surely wouldn't like to be a thrall of someone, especially a Daedra Slave or being under Bimbo Curse. Devious Devices are things to make her experience more thrilling and exiting or just to test her abilities under unusual circumstances. Sometimes she may put some of them on willingly just to test herself if she prepared for new adventures. She can use some magic-alligned drugs(Skooma Whore) if she needs some more manapower. As I said, all of these are just merely tools for her thirst of knowledge and power. At last she's her own understanding of good and evil.

 Here my thoughts for this moment.
