Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
Combat: The Dovahkiin was made to fight dragons, the most powerful beings in his universe. It should be pretty obvious he's an amazing combatant against anything that comes his way, from humans to giants. Even though he uses weaker weapons, such as iron armor and a steel sword, he manages to be able to take down such powerful creatures as Alduin; the World Eater. It was practically a miracle that he was able to do such things using only his combat skill, magic and Thu'um.
Magic: The Dovahkiin is very skilled at Destruction Magic, which allows him to manipulate the elements to destroy things in his way. He can conjure flames from his hands to either create a thick stream of flame or throw fire bolts at people. He can do similar thing with ice, though the bolts are turned to piercing spikes of ice. He can also do the same thing with lightning, but with lightning bolts instead of spikes or fire bolts.
Thu'um: A strange power that allows the Dovahkiin to use words of power to use certain powers. Each shout has a 1-3 post recharge time, depending on how many words he uses. For instance "FUS!" would be 1 post, "FUS RO DAH!" would be 3 posts.
-Unrelenting Force {words of power: FUS RO DAH!}: A shout that allows the Dovahkiin to throw other people away from him into walls or off cliffs... with his voice.
-Whirlwind Sprint {words of power: WULD NAH KEST!}: Allows the Dovahkiin to travel at incredible speeds for a certain amount of time.
-Fire Breath {words of power: YOL TOOR SHUL!}: Allows the Dovahkiin to breath a burst of flame with great size and intensity. Deals great damage.
-Frost Breath {words of power: FO KRAH DIIN!}: A great blast of ice that damages the Dovahkiin's enemy and slows them down considerably.
-Call Dragon {words of power: OD AH VIING!}: Summons a powerful dragon to battle with the Dovahkiin for two posts. Can only be used once per thread.
-Call of Valor {words of power: HUN KAAL ZOOR!}: Summons spirits from Sovngarde to aid the Dovahkiin in battle for two posts. Can only be used once per thread and not if Call Dragon was used.
-Disarm {words of power: ZUN HAAL VIIK!}: Sends any weapons being held flying away from their wielders.
Weaknesses:
Mortal: The Dovahkiin is mortal and without exceptionally strong armor. Guns are able to penetrate his armor easily, as well as many swords or other weapons. To avoid being killed immediately by most weapons, the Dovahkiin needs to rely on his own dodging skill and his shield.
Slow: The Dovahkiin is not really a fast runner. Being a bulky, well-muscled man, he's rather heavy and cannot run as fast as many other people. As such, he tends to use a horse to travel to places.
From the past: The Dovahkiin is from a time where the fastest vehicles are horses and the strongest weapons were enchanted battle-axes. He knows nothing of guns and cars, nor any other modern technology. These technologies will likely baffle him, and give him a severe disadvantage in a fight.
Magic: Magic exists in abundance in the Dovahkiin's world, yes, but he has no real defense against it. Having not learned any ward spells, his only defense against magic is his shield, seeing as his armor would do nothing to protect him. Even then, his shield can only defend against so much...
Darkness Magic: This type of magic did not exist in his world and would likely confuse the Dovahkiin and put him at a severe disadvantage, since he has no idea how he would manage to block it.

Personal Information
Personality:
The Dovahkiin is the hero of Skyrim, and behaves as such. He is truly valiant and does his best to defend the people he is the hero of. Though, he isn't quite the hero everyone sees him as. For instance, he has taken part in... less than respectable activities, such as joining the Dark Brotherhood and becoming an assassin. The truth is, the Dovahkiin, while striving to be the heroic figure of lore, does not truly care about the life and death of other people and creatures. Having the soul of a dragon, he has many of the attributes of a dragon; lack of empathy towards any other creature included.
It is safe to say he does try to fight his dragon side by being a hero. It's also safe to say that he only does heroic deeds because he does not want to act like the creatures he seeks to destroy; the dragons themselves. The fact is, the Dovahkiin's separate natures are conflicting; the dragon-hunter and the dragon soul. this conflict decides most of the Dovahkiin's decisions, with many being against the dragon soul. Though, he does occasionally fall to temptation.
Being called a hero has gone to the Dovahkiin's head, to an extent. He is arrogant in the way that he will not turn down a challenge no matter how outmatched he clearly is. For instance, he's fought Alduin the World Eater without a second thought, though he did have assistance from several past heroes. He has also never turned down a quest he's been given, though it could be said that it is for the reward that he usually gets from the things he does. While not exactly 'greedy' to the extent that he values money too much, he does see much value in objects like weapons and armor.
History:
The Dovahkiin's adventure begins with his capture at the hands of the Empire for a crime he didn't commit. Seeing as one Imperial Soldier didn't want to do the paperwork to say that he wasn't guilty, he was to be put to death. However, he was saved by the sudden intervention of the dragon Mirmulnir, who attacked Helgen. The Dovahkiin escaped and was told to go to the Jarl of Whiterun and request to send a few soldiers to another hold to defend against Mirmulnir.
The Dovahkiin did as he was told and was sent to get a Dragonstone at Bleak Falls Barrow. After retrieving the Dragonstone he discovered his Thu'um and used the shout to do battle with a dragon. After returning to Whiterun he defended the city from yet another dragon. Afterwards, a booming voice resounded through the land; the voice of a Greybeard summoning the Dovahkiin.
The Dovahkiin traveled to the Throat of the World and perfected the power of the Thu'um from their teaching. To test his strength the Greybeards sent the Dovahkiin to get them the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. However, it was taken by Delphine, the innkeeper of Riverwood; and the last surviving member of the group known as the Blades. The Dovahkiin and Delphine traveled to stop Alduin, but before they could fight him he raised another dragon from the grave. They killed the dragon, but Alduin escaped.
The two later discovered a man named Esbern, who was also a member of the Blades, was alive and living in the ratways of the hold named Riften. Esbern and Delphine accompanied the Dovahkiin to 'Alduin's Wall', a large statue that had symbols that could only be translated by Esbern. The Dovahkiin discovered from the Wall that he needed the dragon shout known as "Dragonrend" to defeat Alduin.
To gain this information, the Dovahkiin travelled to the top of the Throat of the World and met with the leader of the Greybeards; the dragon Paarthurnax. The dragon told the Dovahkiin that Alduin was merely sent back to the past with an Elder Scroll; not defeated. The Dovahkiin retrieved the Elder Scroll and learned Dragonrend in the past. After learning it, the Dovahkiin did battle with Alduin atop the mountain. However, Alduin fled to Sovngarde; the afterlife.
The Dovahkiin learned how to get to Sovngarde from the dragon Odahviing, who brought him there. To get to Sovngarde, the Dovahkiin defeated a dragon priest. In Sovngarde, he made an alliance with three heroes of the past and defeated Alduin in one last battle. After meeting a few old friends of his in Sovngarde, the Dovahkiin returned to the regular world.
Sample Post

The Dovahkiin slashed his steel blade at the skeleton, who was felled with one blow. They were weak creatures, though what could one expect from those who were simply the bones of long-dead men. The Dovahkiin felt a certain sorrow whenever he encountered a draugr or skeleton, knowing that they had once been good men. Perhaps some of them were even known as heroes in their days. The Dovahkiin knelt next to the skeleton's remains and picked three gold coins from the remains.
Suddenly, from a nearby corridor, three draugr lurched out, growling madly. The Dovahkiin stood and took tight hold of his sword. The first blow from the Draugr was blocked by the Dovahkiin's shield. The Dovahkiin shoved his shield forward, knocking the draugr back. He felt a sword slash into his arm. Being made of stronger stuff, the Dovahkiin did not cry out in pain. Instead he fought through the pain and summoned a bolt of lightning, which shot through the Draugr's decaying body.
The two remaining drauger lifted their weapons and were about to slash into the Dovahkiin when a loud cry came from Skyrim's hero... "FUS RO DAH!!" The Dovahkiin's shout sent the two Draugr flying back into the wall, where they fell dead at the floor. The Dovahkiin, with one quick look at the Draugr's bodies, continued on through the ancient ruins he'd been exploring.
