Even though a miner should be strong, hardy, agile and fast, he miner doesn't need to have a lot of knowledge, doesn't needs to be smart or rich; They know the basic uses of weapons, one or two spells, etc... So your class should be based on Acrobatics, Athletics, Alchemy, Blade, Marksman, Light Armor, Mercantile and Sneak.
Download a Beards mod. Use long hair ( "Loose" hairstyle recommended ) and long beards, with low-class clothes at work, medium-class outside work.
You should live at either a camp, a house in the woods or a house in a city. Your house has to be near to the Mine.
When you buy your house, find the nearest cave with Gold or Silver in it.
Wear dirty clothes all the time. You're a dirty miner, and proud of it!
Always have your "tools" (pickaxe, shovel) with you; don't leave them in the "mine" or at home. You don't want someone to steal them from the mine, and you don't want to get fired for coming to work unprepared.
Every now and then, if you're lucky, you'll strike the motherlode (duplicate some nuggets)! Sell what you've found and get yourself something nice, like a brand new axe or sword to fight off the things living in the mine; your boss is too cheap to hire some guards (Has the idiot never heard of the Fighters Guild or Mages Guild?!). Or, you could use all your profits to get roaring drunk and wake up the next morning in prison, with a really bad hangover and no memory of starting fights, breaking tables with little Bosmer men that looked at you funny, or that cute girl (or guy) from the bar (and maybe a room at the local inn...) that turned out to be the bartender's kid. It's your call...
Download the Deadly Clutter mod and arm yourself with the pickaxe, hitting rocks with it to simulate mining.
