Third Jivin



Following a deadly battle with a Draugr Deathlord in in Lost Valkygg, Jivin regenerated again into a Bosmer. He began to dual wield with silver swords, as well as making more use of his Petrify spell. He continued adventuring with Uthgerd for 4 days before being overwhelmed by snow bears and bandits. Uthgerd was lost to these bears as well, and to add insult to injury, the bears had been charmed by Jivin with his Command Animal power, only to turn on him once it wore off.

Race: Bosmer
Sex: Male
Date of Regeneration: 5th of Hearthfire
Cause of Regeneration: Battle with snow bears and bandits
Tenure: Four days
Weapon of choice: Two Third Era Silver Swords
Armor of Choice: Steel Plate Armor, Yeti Cap, Knight's Crest

Companion:
Uthgerd the Unbroken (lost to snow bears)

First Jivin

A few months ago I created Jivin Kalenad as just another character. Mostly because I wanted to play as an Argonian. I juggle a few characters, and Jivin was always my lowest level character since he was so new. I actually stopped playing him for a while until I came up with the idea to play him as a Time Lord, which made things very interesting.

Race: Argonian
Sex: Male
Date of Regeneration: Late Last Seed
Cause of Regeneration: Fall in Ustengrav
Lifetime: A few weeks
Weapon of choice: Silver mace & Sparks
Armor of Choice: Steel Plate Armor, Knight's Crest

Companions:
Lydia, who died of unknown causes.
Stenvar, who died of unknown causes.

"I might never make sense again! I might have two heads, or no head. Imagine me with no head, ha! And don't say that's an improvement...But it's a bit dodgy, this process. You never know what you're going to end up with..."

For no good reason at all I decided to play one of my characters in Skyrim as a Time Lord, and set some arbitrary rules for myself.
I have set my character to essential with the console using  the command

setessential 00000007 1

Whenevermy character enters the bleedout state, I try to finish what they were doing or get them somewhere safe. Then I use the command showracemenu and change their appearance.
My character also has a TARDIS, which serves as his home.

The rules I follow are thus:
1. When my character enters bleed-out for whatever reason, he heals and runs from battle, usually taking refuge in the TARDIS.
2. Once in the TARDIS, I open the character creation menu with the console and randomly pick a race and gender, as well as physical appearances. Some incarnations are more random than others.
3. If his race changes, some of his skills will naturally reset, and I have to accommodate any changes (for instance, switching to Light Armor)
4. He must rest for 15 hours after regeneration, or finish what he started when he regenerated. During these 15 hours, he will not regenerate again.
5. About one day minimum between incarnations.

I've posted information about each incarnation on this blog, and will update with each regeneration
