(Shouldnt one player be dovahkiin?)

Legitamate question: How does a dragon stealth?

Extensive training in silent flight, at high altitudes, and just having dark coloured scales.

Ah. Makes sense.

We should probably not make anyone Dovahkiin. We should keep him kind of open and out of the way, because people might have different opinions on who he is. That way we can let him be to the devices of people's own imagination, and we don't get arguments on "what the Dragonborn would do". As far as we know, he is a tough Nord warrior who has seen a lot. We should keep his dialogue to a minimum. That means any interaction he has would probably be through messengers (ex: pupils, couriers, and other Knights). Otherwise, I suppose you could be Dragonborn, since your the thread author.

Or, since it is the aftermath, we could make him elderly  and the mortal characters could go to him for wisdom.

I was guessing he would be about 35-45, assuming this takes place only about a decade or so after the dragon crisis (and that he was a strapping young man when it happened), but we could say it's been a while and he is now a sage old man. If we go that route, could we theoretically say he became a Greybeard, or would that go against lore? We could also make him more like Kodlak-Whitemane, a tough old warrior who is wise none the less.

I'm thinking Kodlak

And we studying the voice, have learned a few words of power yet we do not have full comprehension like dovahkiin, we can only use two shouts of our choice

I like that idea, it's gonna be tough picking only two shouts.

So I'm guessing we're gonna say the Dovahkiin is around 50-65? Or is he 70+?

I'm thinking late 60's

I'd say if he were mid 20's during skyrim's civil war, Fast forward a bit... Maybe mid to late 50's

he used to be an adventurer like you, but he got too old.
