Ugh, the Dawnstar housecarl keeps following me around, even though I told him to stop. I'm happy with Faendal, dude. Just go wait at my house or something.
Unfortunately, Ultimate Follower Overhaul freaks out sometimes, and I think if I uninstall it, Faendal will lose his gear.
My character is a Breton who is just a nice guy but also so much smarter than those dumb Nords around him who used to beat him up for his lunch money. And ladies would like them and not him because they only like dumb mean guys, y'know. But now he's the Dragonborn, he always knew he was special, and now all those Nords and women will see oh yes they'll see!

Yeah I don't really spend much time thinking about backstory, as much as I sort of decide "Okay, he is an aspiring wizard and he is sick of the casual racism, and hates the Empire and the Stormcloaks in equal measure for being so tied up in their own bullshit politics while both of them are oppressive and downright rude to anything with a tail. And fuck those elf dudes, nuke whenever possible, but leave no witnesses."

Basically just rough guidelines to dictate how I'll make decisions on this character in order to be somewhat consistent while still having fun, and then I just roll with it.

Yeah that's the way I do it. My current character is "well she has a hammer and is a living off the land type so I guess she has a bow too, and is a werewolf because that makes sense". My first was "well he's a shaman looking dude, so I guess conjuration and sure ghost swords why not".

Gather round, and hear the tale of my Dragonborn, fellows
My old Dunmer ash-hammer, Illiva Moor (I have decided that a Dunmer pyromancer who uses a warhammer shall be known as an ash-hammer), was told from the day she was born that she was the daughter of the nordic Nerevarine. In reality, her mother probably just slept with a Nord (claiming to be the nerevarine was a popular pick-up line among Nords abroad at the time). Her mother ran a tavern, but died while Illiva was still a child. Being orphaned in Vvardenfell at a young age, she roamed the wastes doing some PG-13 Peter Pan lost boys-type shit. She was eventually imprisoned for being a bandit youth, and joined the Legion to SEE THE WORLD! and get out of prison and poverty.
While part of the legion, her unit was tasked with hunting the Grey Fox, who had begun some large-scale occasionally-good-hearted thievery. Her unit was ambushed and mostly destroyed by the Grey Fox, but Illiva managed to fight him to a standstill. The Grey Fox AKA Jeb the Simple Bog Argonian liked her moxie and offered her a spot in his posse, so she deserted the legion to join him. Thus began their boss and big boss-style relationship.
They fought together for a long time, but there was eventually a schism in the group, due in part to the Argonians' invasion of Morrowind, with Illiva and Jeb leading opposing factions. They then had a legendary rivalry for however long Argonians live, with Illiva returning to Vvardfell in the end, where she studied fire magic and stuff. She started getting old, but decided she needed a life of battle and so started a new gang of outlaws that operated in Skyrim and Cyrodill to disrupt the Thalmor's operations. She then had some bad run-ins with the Stormcloaks, that led to skirmishes, which killed or demoralized the majority of her gang. Suddenly, while fleeing wounded from a battle: Tullius!!!!

ghost swords are sick
I have built elaborate hong kong style fight scenes in my mind around the idea of ghost swords

Your headcanon contradicts mine and is therefore invalid.
Character backstories are voluntary, and hurt nobody.
Oh, so I've decided I needed a few mods for Skyrim. The first one I see? A mod that causes villagers to run indoors when a dragon attacks. Very tired of losing the village blacksmith because he charged at the dragon with his bare hands, moments after he tells me how terrified he is of said dragon attacks.

Seriously I don't fucking understand you if you think you are superior to other players because you don't have a backstory for your character I mean
What
You are already engaging in an act of pure escapism, pretending that you are somehow still detached enough to not REALLY engage with it on that level, and that that makes you COOLER is just dumb. If you weren't willing to commit to a ROLE PLAYING GAME then why even indulge in the setting in any case?

just by posting here I have already integrated you into my own character's backstory

I'm not sure who you're responding to but I hope it's not me! Because I was just having a bit of fun and didn't mean to act superior or demeaning in any way. I uh, I don't think anyone else did, either! Maybe you're reading a bit too much into it. Roleplaying is cool, backstories be fine. People who prefer not to create backstories are also fine!

I don't think anyone's saying that. I was just being a smartass, doing a thing.

which is fine I still need to finish the interior

For real?
it's your character and you can make up whatever backstory you like for them
like I know it's just your thing and it's not hurting anyone
but
I dunno don't you feel a little embarrassed to have made up such a fucking mary sue?
Like, my next character is going to be a One-Handed/Magic artifact hunter, trying to appease all of the Daedra.
Being aware of how nerdy it is doesn't make it ironic
