Whoo, 1st place!
Here's the contest site http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/character-contest-winner-shoutout/
Hi, this is a skin that I imagined for the TES Akavir Roleplay-Server.
It is also my attempt to THIS RPG Skin contest by (imageaudio).
This is Bertold's backstory:
Bertold der Starke was born in Windhelm (in Skyrim) under the leadership of jarl Ulfric.
His father Bertold der Grausame was a guard and raised him and his two brothers that they would replace him as a guard when he's to old.
His mother died by his birth.
Bertold was 11 years old, when Falmers attacked Windhelm.
On this day, he was playing with some friends outside in the trees.
When he came back, he found his father on a pile of corpses.
The guards defeatet the enemy and defended the city, but many people died on this day.
He ran home, but there he found his dead brother.
A week later, he rode with a friend of his parents to Falkreath, because he realized that all his family members were dead or missing.
In Falkreath, he worked for the friend of his parents who was always nice to him and became a bit like his new father.
when he was 15, he bought a little house with his saved money and became a guard of Falkreath..
Bertold defended the village many times, mostly from bandits and became a prestigious member of the community.
Every time he fought, he was wearing the stormcloak cape that his father gave him when he was a child.
At the age of 23, the Thalmor attacked Falkreath and thei're magicians threw balls of fire to the houses which were built out of wood and hay.
It took the inhabitants many hours to extinguish the flames, but Bertold's house was completely destroyed.
He had only the cloak from his father and some money left.
Bertold bought a horse with the leftover of his capability and rode back to his native city Windhelm where he met two of his best friends.
He convinced them to come with him and they rode many months from city to city and worked as mercenaries.
They where in Whiterun, when a beggar told them to go to Akavir.
The beggar said, that there are many cities which need more protection and that the contribution there is also very fair.
The three wayfarer had a new aim, to get to Akavir.
I hope you like the skin and the text and I'm very sorry for spelling or grammar mistakes, english is not my mother tongue.
Here's the logo of Windhelm (Bertold's cloak):
I also made some other Skyrim char's as skins:
Dovakhiin
Guard of Whiterun
Btw., "der Starke" means "the strong" in german.
