==Eric Snowmane: The Character Behind My Name==
''See [[User:Eric Snowmane/My Characters/Snowmane Lineage|Snowmane Lineage]]''
==Gameplay Characters==
This is my list of characters I use in-game, but reconstructed to provide a thorough biography of them. I will also occasionally just randomly make up some just for extra characters to create fanfictions, etc. with. For the purposes of the bios, the present day will be 4E 201, the year that the events of [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]] occur.
===Morrowind===
This is the only Morrowind character I've made a bio for, besides the above written Eric Snowmane bio.
====Damon====
'''Damon''' (3E 399-4E 13) was a [[Lore:Khajiit|Khajiit]] born in [[Lore:Cyrodiil|Cyrodiil]] in 3E 399 to two immigrants from [[Lore:Elsweyr|Elsweyr]]. He never had much since his family were poor dock workers in Anvil, so he turned to a short lived life of crime to get by. Damon never stole much, just small bits here and there to ensure he had a solid meal to eat. As he gained confidence in his skills, he began to go for more and more high risk crimes until he began raiding the vaults of the Counts and Countesses of Cyrodiil. One late evening, in Hearthfire of 3E 425, he was captured and taken to the Imperial City prison. Upon searching his house, the Legion soldiers that arrested him found items stolen from the other vaults and sentenced Damon to 126 years for hundreds of counts of theft.
In 3E 427, due to mysterious reasons unknown to everyone, Damon was released from prison and sent to Morrowind, where he resumed his life of crime while posing as an honorable [[Lore:House Hlaalu|Hlaalu]] nobleman. He went to extreme lengths to avoid detection from paying off the guards of other noblemen to commit the theft and risk arrest, to hiring his own guards to watch his vaults and lavish estate off the Odai Plateau. In 4E 13, Damon came across a rare amulet belonging to [[Lore:Mephala|Mephala]] and took it for his personal collection. It turned out to be in the care a [[Lore:Dunmer|Dunmer]] noble and [[Lore:Morag Tong|Morag Tong]] agent. The Morag Tong quickly issued a writ of assassination for the theft of their Sanguine amulet and Damon was killed in his sleep at his home.
====Aisling====
'''Aisling''' (pronounced ASH-ling) is a female Breton mage, modelled after my current Baldur's Gate character of the same name. She's a pious member of the Imperial Cult, and an aspiring mage. More will be posted as I develop the character further. (This character is new enough that even Aisling in BG is still largely undeveloped in terms of personality, etc)
===Oblivion===
These are my miscellaneous Oblivion characters.
====Andre Riscel====
''See [[User:Eric Snowmane/Andre's Journal|Andre's Journal]]''
'''Andre Riscel''' (3E 405-3E 433) was a [[Lore:Breton|Breton]] born in [[Lore:Northpoint|Northpoint]], to two nobles. He was an adventurous type, always wanting to travel Tamriel for the good of the people. He would acquire wealth, either through noble deeds or theft, and then turn around and give away almost all of it for the beggars, keeping only enough to maintain his armor, maintain his ship, ''Northpoint's Pride'', and have enough enough to eat. He was a formidable fighter, but his luck ran out and he and his pet dog, Jak, who he rescued from being a stray, were ambushed by bandits outside the Imperial City.
====Athellor====
'''Athellor''' (3E 390-4E 6)was an [[Lore:Altmer|Altmer]] born in [[Lore:Alinor (city)|Alinor]], the capital of the [[Lore:Summerset Isle|Summerset Isle]]. He spent his youth studying different types of magic in the [[Lore:Crystal Tower|Crystal Tower]], and as such has a burning desire to experiment and explore to study the practicalities of it, rather than just the theory. He dabbled in necromancy in the early months of 3E 432, resulting in a feud and assassination attempt against him, after he desecrated the tomb of a renown wizard for magical artifacts. After months of hiding all across the Isles, he boarded a ship to [[Lore:Anvil|Anvil]], in the Imperial capital of [[Lore:Cyrodiil|Cyrodiil]], to claim the [[OB:Frostcrag Spire|magical tower]] of his long deceased Uncle in the cold mountains of northern Cyrodiil, and investigate rumors of a new magic discovered in the [[OB:Arcane University|Arcane University]].
<ref>[http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9562 Midas magic mod]</ref>
He was proud and vain. He dressed extravagantly and stayed in the higher-end establishments. He was not caught dead in a slum, or other low-end area. He avoided working with the general population if he can help it, and he was not above stealth, theft, and assassination to further his goals. In his mind, as long as he can study and explore to further is knowledge of magic and become the greatest wizard Tamriel has ever seen, nothing, and nobody matters.
Athellor was killed in 4E 6, when he was caught stealing from Count Skingrad's vault, looking to acquire the funding to continue his research into the properties of the undead.
====Astarael====
'''Astarael''' (3E 413- ??) is an [[Lore:Imperial|Imperial]] and Silencer in the [[Lore:Dark Brotherhood|Dark Brotherhood]], trained in the use of necromancy and assassination. Despite her youth, she is one of the most proficient assassins of the Cheydinhal chapter of the Brotherhood.
She is named after one of the [http://www.oldkingdom.com.au/bells.html bells] in Garth Nix's [http://www.oldkingdom.com.au/default.html The Old Kingdom Chronicles]. The bell, ''Astarael'', "the Sorrowful", or "the banisher", was a Necromantic bell that, when properly rung, casts everyone who hears it far into Death. Everyone, including the ringer.
====Count Snowmane====
'''Count Snowmane''' is a Nord vampire who (by coincidence) looks a lot like a certain other Vampiric Count. This guy was my first ever Oblivion character. :)
===Skyrim===
These are my miscellaneous SR characters. For Skyrim, I am bored, so I am making all my characters based on friend's requests, so if you want me to do one and make a character story for the lulz, then mention it to me. :) Also, I've gotten to the point where I am being lazy and just using my name (Damon) as my character names, so a few of them might pop up here. ;)
====Alessia====
'''Alessia''' is an [[SR:Imperial|Imperial]] and a bit of an experiment. I've not got a proper roleplay type mindset with her, so there's not going to be a fancy biography, though I'll report my success with her eventually. She's going to be a mage-assassin. Unlike Oblivion's Astarael, who used magic ''and'' weapons, I'm going to try using a pure mage as my assassin, and I will see how well I can magically do stealth jobs like that.
====Cassandra White-Foot====
''See [[User:Eric Snowmane/Cassandra|Cassandra]] for the character bio and [[User:Eric Snowmane/Cassie|Cassie]] for a written story about a few hours of gameplay.
====Damon (Imperial)====
'''Damon''' is an [[SR:Imperial|Imperial]]. I'm still deciding what his origin story is, having only just made the character earlier, but he's going to be a noble paladin of sorts. He's going to travel Skyrim doing whatever noble deeds the people need.
====Damon (Altmer)====
'''Damon''' is a [[SR:Thalmor|Thalmor]] agent station in [[SR:Northwatch Keep|Northwatch Keep]]. <ref>[http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4483 Alternate Starting Factions]</ref> He travels across Skyrim locating and executing Stormcloaks and making sure that Talos worship is suppressed.
====Helena Anne====
'''Helena Anne''' is a Breton mage suggested to me by [[user:Helenaannevalentine|Helenaannevalentine]] to roleplay after I posted an open request for a character besides a warrior to play in [[UESPWiki:IRC|IRC]]. She is a young, eager student at the College who likes to explore the various ruins in Skyrim. She has received no formal blade training, as what sophisticated Breton would teach their daughter to carry a sword? I will be using her for a pure magic playthrough, something I have never done before, although I will use a blade as a last resort if needed.
During a visit to the Whiterun chapel, she decided to help the people suffering from the war and other conflicts after seeing all the chapel goers suffering, so she goes out of her way to help whoever needs it, regardless of their associations in the war, and no matter what hardships she faces.
She wears simple mage robes and she lives in various inns, as she is always on the move helping people or studying ruins in her side time. She will not side with any civil war factions.

==Miscellaneous Characters==
This is the place where I will stick characters who I made up outside of a game, but have no current use in a fanfiction.
==The Vampire's Tale==
These are the characters I use in my fan fiction series, ''[[User:Eric Snowmane/The Vampire's Tale|The Vampire's Tale]]''. This list is, as this time, incomplete, because I do not wish to inadvertently spoil the events of the ''Tale''. Existing biographies will be fill out as parts to the ''Tale'' are released, and additional characters will be added over time.
('''Note''': ''Unlike the gameplay bios in the above section, these bios are written assuming that 4E 2, the year of the events of the ''The Vampire's Tale'', is the present year.'')
===Core Characters===
'''Gallen''' (3E 385- ) is a [[Lore:Redguard|Redguard]], and former member of the [[Lore:Blades|Blades]]. Not much is known about his years of service in the Blades, but what is known, is that during [[Lore:The Warp in the West (event)|Warp in the West]], he was stationed in Daggerfall for mysterious reasons. Following the Warp in the West, he was relocated to Cyrodiil, where he would spend the next 3 decades acting as one of the personal guards of [[Lore:Uriel Septim VII|Emperor Uriel VII]]. In 3E 432, he retired to [[Lore:Cheydinhal|Cheydinhal]] to marry his wife '''Amelia'''. The next year, they had a daughter. In 4E 2, his family was killed by a vampire, and he set out on one last quest to avenge them.
'''Jean-Pierre Velain''' (3E 212- ) is a [[Lore:Breton|Breton]] [[Lore:Vampire|vampire]]. He was born and raised as a noble in Daggerfall, but as a youth, he was far too adventurous and wild, despite his parents attempts to raise him into House Velain. On his twentieth birthday, he left his home in Daggerfall to travel to Cyrodiil, where he picked up work with the city guard. He was positioned in a special vampire hunting team in County Kvatch, where he rose up quickly through the ranks, becoming a well respected vampire hunter. In 3E, 234, while at his home, a vampire came posing as a traveler, and ambushed him and his wife. In the confusion, Velain was turned into a vampire, and his pregnant wife, who's name has been lost in time, was killed. After he was transformed, Velain spent the following 200 years killing vampires in an attempt to atone for his curse. Maintaining a mortal persona, he fell back on his noble training and would pose as a wealthy foreigner to Cyrodiil. In 4E 2, he would meet the ex-blade turned vampire hunter Gallen, and the two would quickly become close friends, despite Velain's vampirism.
'''Crimson-Tail''' (3E 410- ) is an [[Lore:Argonian|Argonian]] vampire, and the main antagonist of '''The Vampire's Tale'''. He is responsible to the deaths of Amelia and Rosalyn, Gallen's wife and infant daughter respectively.
===Minor Characters===
'''Amelia''' (??- 4E 2) and '''Rosalyn''' (3E 432- 4E 2) were the wife and daughter respectively of protagonist Gallen. They were killed by Crimson-Tail.

==Character Organization==
From here on, rather than post any new character I come up with on this page, I will post only the ones directly related to a game or published fanfiction. That's what the page has been for from the beginning, but I've taken to posting ''everything'' here, even what I never intend on expanding upon, which is an organizational hassle. The characters I have here already will be kept up to date with a concise description, and game characters will be added if I make them and play them a substantial amount.
All new characters, as well as in-depth encyclopedic entries detailing the lives of all currently named people will be posted on [http://ericsnowmane.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Snowmane's Wiki], which I've been expanding on since it's conception last week, after two or three months of consideration, and a creative streak where I am coming up with concepts for characters and stories left and right.
{{Showhide|Totally Unrequested FAQ|
Here's a little FAQ, for my friends who frequently read the page (and others who might want to know):
*'''What benefits are there to posting them on Wikia rather than UESP?'''
It's more for organizational purposes. Don't get me wrong, I detest Wikia's generic layouts, because they don't work for the more precise requirements of a major wiki, however I am not a major wiki. I was considering just adding to my /My Characters page and [[User:Eric Snowmane/My Characters/Snowmane Lineage|Snowmane Lineage]], as well as subpages for each other significantly major character, but I decided that would be too much of a hassle for UESP.
I know first hand, because I am just the same, that other users aren't the greatest of fans of loads and loads of edits to a userspace with minimal turn-around wiki-side, because we are an encyclopedia about the games, not about UberL33t101's character he uses in Skyrim (IDK if he's real or not, it's a made up name).
There is also the organizational benefit, in that I can create categories, templates, etc as I please in order to make each page more organized and detailed than I ever could do on UESP.
While I didn't want to make the switch and I wanted to keep it in house, all these factors plus some, such as [[User:Daric Gaersmith|Gaersmith]]'s organizational mess (Well, it's as organized as it could be, restrictions on organizational creativity aside) proved to me that it seems infeasible to do something similar, but on UESP.
*'''Will Fanfictions remain on UESP?'''
All fanfictions, will stay on UESP. Snowmane's Wiki is a is simply a character database for what is currently 30+ characters and growing. That means ''[[User:Eric Snowmane/The Vampire's Tale|The Vampire's Tale]]'', when I get it done, as well as any other fanfictions will still be in-house, and viewable from my userspace or [[General:Fanfiction]].
Whilst technically all encyclopedic entries on characters are fanfiction, as they are all my own creations, rather than Bethesda's, for the purpose of what's an encyclopedic entry and "fanfiction" when I am writing on Snowmane's Wiki is that "Fanfiction" is a well written story with a definite plot, like what is posted to General:Fanfiction, and not just a background story saying ''"Hey, <Character Name> was born in <City>, and did <Random Event>"''.
*'''Can I post a character to Snowmane's Wiki?"'''
Yes you can! If you want to add to my database of characters, then feel free! Just note that it's not being treated by me like a proper wiki, where anyone can edit anything. As I noted on the page, I ask that each character that is made by someone else be respected as their own, and no changes be made to anything, unless it was to fix the formatting of said page.
Also be aware that it's not a game guide like UESP, TESWiki, etc, and is in no way intended to be competition against any TES Wiki/wikia. My wiki isn't here to host game events, it's here to host fan-made characters, families, locations, etc.
*'''MOST IMPORTANTLY: Am I sticking around on UESP?'''
You bet! Just figured I'd hit that, in case a change to a new wiki was viewed as disinterest in using this one. I am still an active member of UESP, because we are the best of the best. Snowmane's Wiki is purely a character database to host detailed accounts of all my in-game characters and their adventures, any fanfiction characters, as well as random characters that I make on a whim, but have no plan for, besides the encyclopedic entry.

That means ''[[User:Eric Snowmane/The Vampire's Tale|The Vampire's Tale]]'', when I get it done, as well as any other fanfictions will still be in-house, and viewable from my userspace or [[General:Fanfiction]].
Whilst technically all encyclopedic entries on characters are fanfiction, as they are all my own creations, rather than Bethesda's, for the purpose of what's an encyclopedic entry and "fanfiction" when I am writing on Snowmane's Wiki is that "Fanfiction" is a well written story with a definite plot, like what is posted to General:Fanfiction, and not just a background story saying ''"Hey, <Character Name> was born in <City>, and did <Random Event>"''.
*'''Can I post a character to Snowmane's Wiki?"'''
Yes you can! If you want to add to my database of characters, then feel free! Just note that it's not being treated by me like a proper wiki, where anyone can edit anything. As I noted on the page, I ask that each character that is made by someone else be respected as their own, and no changes be made to anything, unless it was to fix the formatting of said page.
Also be aware that it's not a game guide like UESP, TESWiki, etc, and is in no way intended to be competition against any TES Wiki/wikia. My wiki isn't here to host game events, it's here to host fan-made characters, families, locations, etc.
*'''MOST IMPORTANTLY: Am I sticking around on UESP?'''
You bet! Just figured I'd hit that, in case a change to a new wiki was viewed as disinterest in using this one. I am still an active member of UESP, because we are the best of the best. Snowmane's Wiki is purely a character database to host detailed accounts of all my in-game characters and their adventures, any fanfiction characters, as well as random characters that I make on a whim, but have no plan for, besides the encyclopedic entry.
