📋 About This Mod

I love making new characters and and love the extra immersion Merlord's background provide. I've made 5 so far, but may add more as I think of them. I tried to think of interesting character ideas rather than perfectly balanced characters but I don't think anything is too broken.

If you have a certain character you'd like me to make a background for, let me know and I can try to add it if it's not too complex for me!

Backgrounds:

Disgraced Ordinator

Prince/Princess

Dremora Pact

Raised in a Carnival (Idea by Glittergear!)

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Adds five new backgrounds—Assassin, Disgraced Ordinator, Prince/Princess, Merchant, and Artisan—to Merlord's mod. A small but focused expansion for players wanting more roleplay options. With 55 endorsements and 996 downloads, it's a niche addition that's been stable since August 2023.

✨ Key Features

Adds five new backgrounds: Assassin, Disgraced Ordinator, Prince/Princess, Merchant, and Artisan.
Designed as an expansion for Merlord's mod, requiring it to function.
Provides additional roleplay options for players seeking varied character origins.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Straightforward expansion—if you're already using Merlord's mod, this is a no-brainer for more variety.
  • Decent community traction for a niche mod (55 endorsements, 996 downloads).
  • Last updated August 2023, so it's relatively recent and likely compatible with current versions.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Merlord's mod as a dependency—if you don't have it, this is useless.
  • Only five backgrounds—might not be enough if you're looking for a massive overhaul.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who already use Merlord's mod and want extra roleplay options without hunting for separate mods. If you're a completionist who likes trying different character archetypes, this adds a few fresh starts. Skip if you're not using the base mod or want deeper gameplay changes.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Merlord's mod installed first—this won't work without it.
  • If you're using a mod manager, just drop the file in and activate; no load order tweaks needed.
  • Check the mod page for any compatibility notes with other background mods before adding.
