Ulfric is seriously hard to write. That's why I'm in awe of those who can sucessfully. He's this crazy difficult balance of lore, villian, hero, politican, warrior and victim. And too much of any of those traits and he falls like a house of cards.
But if you can get it, he's got a great story voice. And I do believe you can get him, because it's not that far from Trip. They share the victim, warrior, hero, and lore. You need to find the villian & Politican, and hell, Dyce can carry that.
Plus, Dyce and him have some unquie elements that they share; The greybeards, which Dyce hasn't said much about, and the Voice. I'd be interested in just a conversation between Dyce nad Ulfric over the voice. No sex needed.
But sex would probably happen, because a: they're both very sexual people and b: they both use sex as a tool. (It may not be explicitly cannon, but you know Ulfric does.)
And I'd love to see them do some processing over the Thalmor. You've spent a good bit of time developing the Daedra angle, what can you do with power-hungery elves?
It's a request. Nothing more. it speaks to you or it doesn't. But I think you would do something amazing with it.
Disclosure: I freely admit I don't have Ulfric's voice. I've written him, but I had to age him and marry him off first before I could get any traction. I've got other stuff in the works with him, but, yeah, hard!
And you know how to reach me if you want to chat about this. ;-)
