This article provides one suggestion for character-type roleplaying. Please see the main Roleplaying article for contribution guidelines.

Create a male Redguard, Nord, Orc, or Khajiit with Hand to Hand, Speechcraft, Athletics, Light Armor, Block, and whatever else as major skills, choose combat as their specialty, and Strength and Endurance as preferred attributes. This is a different sort of roleplay than Drunkard, which can be found further down the list. This is a more athletic type professional character.

[edit] Boxer Guidelines

Steal the Bands of Kwang Lao from the two Arena combatants practicing outside the Arena. This will fortify your Hand to Hand skill by 20 pts, which helps a lot.
Join the Arena, first thing you do.
Live in the Imperial City, spend most of your time there.
When not in combat in the Arena, wear a pair of pants that is either your training pants (some simple cloth pants most lower-class characters wear) or some enchanted light armor greaves with fortify fatigue or something.
When in the arena, wear the Light Raiment.
As expected, punch your opponents to death. Use a Disintegrate Weapon spell to force the arena combatants to fight you in a boxing match.
Don't wear shoes. Or a shirt, most of the time.
You can often wear some wristband however.
Make lots of restore fatigue potions called Energy Drink. When you are punching something and you are running out of fatigue, drink them.
Try to become the Grand Champion
Focus on building up your Hand-to-Hand as your sole all-effective combat skill. Whenever you run into bandits or animals on the road, beat them to death. Frequently head out into the woods or into Ayleid Ruins as training. Beat to death everything in Hackdirt, conjurers in ruins, necromancers in caves.
If you have the PC version, beat up essential NPCS, knock them unconscious, rinse, repeat, then delete the bounty and hostility with the console. This also works if you have the Staff of the Everscamp, which grants you unlimited scamps to beat up. Another good training technique is at Peryite's Shrine(Check page to see and prevent bug) because you don't get a bounty for hitting them and they never die.
With the Fighters stronghold download, you can train with your orc friend as he never dies and regenerates health.
