* {{Adorkable}}: Fironet, the aspiring bard in Solitude, with her endearing mix of enthusiasm, worry, and general awkwardness.
* CompleteMonster: Korrilan, a "tailor" in Riften, has perfected the ability to BodySurf, transferring his soul between bodies to stay alive, and also just when he tires of wearing his current "outfit." He gets bodies by using a modified Black Soul Gem creation process and healing magics to trick the souls of living beings into leaving their bodies, rendering them {{soulless shell}}s for him to use as he likes. It's implied he's done this across Tamriel for years if not decades, has gone through several victims in the process, and has killed others who found out his secret and tried to stop him. As he calmly explains this, he not only refers to the braindead bodies he uses as "clothes," but treats them as dismissively as though they were, having the PlayerCharacter kill his current host body without a care so that he can demonstrate his ability.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Well, the mod as a whole could be counted as this, seeing as how popular it is, but among it there are a few characters who stand out:
** [[StepfordSmiler Zora Fair-Child]], the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} odd]], cheerful barbarian whose beauty was ravaged years ago and whose character arc is all about coming to terms with it.
** [[SadClown Rumarin]], the ultra-sarcastic high elven "Bladebinder" [[BlackSheep who]] ''[[BlackSheep sucks]]'' [[BlackSheep at any form of magic that isn't Conjuration]] and who learns how to [[BeYourself Be Himself]].
** [[KnightInShiningArmor Anum-La]], the jovial, wandering Argonian knight who enjoys teasing everyone she meets and who has to deal with the loss of her TrueCompanions.
** [[ClockworkCreature Relic]], the ancient Dwemer artifact whose personality can be decided by you, and whose "evil" one is reminiscent of [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic HK-47]].
* GameBreaker: Early versions of Dagri'Lon. Acknowledged by the creator [[http://3dnpc.com/2012/11/15/dagrilon/ here]]; apparently he was never meant to be a follower. Eventually, his level was lowered to be a still-impressive 1.5 times the player's level, with a hard cap at 80.
* MemeticBadass: Ulfric always had this treatment in the base game, but here it's just made more explicit.
* ParanoiaFuel: The series of books titled "The Paper Mirror" found in the eponymous quest. [[spoiler:They're written by an anonymous author... with ''you'' as the protagonist, starting from when you find the first book in the series. The questline itself then plays out according to the books.]] Think about it: [[spoiler:your actions are being guided by an unknown person by simply writing them into books]] and you ''[[NothingIsScarier never find out]]'' who was behind this.
* TheScrappy: Rongeir was universally despised for having no purpose other than spouting disturbing, incestuous dialogue regarding his daughter. The hate for him reached the point that Kris admitted that [[CreatorsPest he hated him too]], and as such he was outright removed from the mod in 2022.
* TearJerker: The death of [[spoiler:Nelos at the end of the quest "The Radiant Dark", if you sided with him.]] Especially since it turns out that [[spoiler:he knew it was coming, and most of his actions were to prepare you to be his successor, since you turn out to be TheChosenOne of the prophecy he pursued]].
--> [[spoiler:'''Nelos''']]: So... Bright...
