Name of Character: Raentus Ebonhand Race: Nordish Age: 30 Gender: Male Vague Background: A man that has been tied to protecting his loved ones his entire life, he started off in the world as the caretaker for horses at the Embershard Mine, south of Riverwood, in Skyrim at the age of 13. He earned a very small portion of money each day, and could barely support his ill mother and 10 year old brother. After 5 years, his mother had passed and his brother had ran away near the city of Markarth to become a servant of the Daedric Princes. Raeuntus was so heartbroken, he ran to the city of Solitude in hopes of living with his second aunt. Winter had befallen which made the journey especially challenging. Along the way, he learned methods of survival. For example, he was able to find shelter in caves and settlements across the land. After a few weeks of travelling, he stumbled upon a war camp held by the Stormcloaks. He had heard stories about how their leader, Ulfric Stormcloak, had murdered the High King of Skyrim. He snuck into their camp and stole a Greatsword. When he begun his journey to Solitude again, he was encountered by a patrol on the outskirts of the camp, and was nearly killed by the soldiers. Luckily, a group of people had come by in the nick of time to fend off the Stormcloaks, most likely legionnaires. He got away into the forest and was able to escape.
After several hours of walking, and nightfall around the corner, Ebonhand knew that he would have to find shelter before he freezes to death. Suddenly, he spotted a figure, most likely a woman, walking down the path with two knives on her hips. Ebonhand hid behind a tree closest to him and slowly began to follow her trail. She stopped at the middle of a road and approached a skull-faced door. She uttered words that was barely intelligible, but was comprehensible. The door had been faintly asking her 3 questions. He remembered the answers as : "Innocence, my brother.", "Sublime, my Brother.", "Solace, my Brother." As she entered, he escaped from the cover of the tree, and murmured those words to the door. He gained entry to the hideout, and was able to identify a group of 10 people at most. Shockingly, he had a blade at the end of his neck while he was trying to listen to the people. "Hey, look who we found", the person who caught him yelled. He was brought to the centre of the main area, and put on his knees. He was dumbstruck and petrified for what happened next. "This young man looks suitable for our work, don't you think? It'd be such a waste if we execute him.", a woman said. Several murmurs of agreement had been uttered, and Raentus was brought up on his legs. "What's your name, boy?", a tall, dark man asked him. "Raentus Ebonhand.", he replied. "Hmm. You will be of use to us for a while. Try and escape, the Dark Brotherhood will be hunting you.".
After this event, Raentus was introduced to the Dark Brotherhood and served as a mercenary assassin for them. He was deemed their best killer using stealth and, in certain situations brute force, when it comes to dealing with his targets. He has killed several high ranking members in the Imperial Legion, in the Stormcloaks and many soldiers and other people. He has received no word from his brother nor aunt from Solitude, but his past has left him long ago.

Name of Character: Valii Telvanni Race: Dunmer Age: 113 Gender: Female Vague Background: Valii was, as her namesake would imply, an astute wizard of the Great House of Telvanni. While young by standards of the Dunmer, she had studied often various works of skilled artisans in the craft of spellcasting. True to her young, ambitious self, her magic of destruction was powerful as she learned quickly. After her limited studies in morrowind were exhausted, she had moved onto skyrim to learn from the acclaimed great wizards of the College of Winterhold and what they would pass on to her ever-growing appetite for knowledge. Aside from her lust for knowledge and destructive power, she had skill in the art of illusion to charm those around her. She often wore an amulet shaped in the form of three pillars to represent the original pantheon; Azura, Boethiah, and Mephala.
She was loyal to her own kind. It was not unusual for her to trust her elven kin over the races of man or beast, and often so did she mistrust or look down upon the seemingly 'lesser' races of nirn. She was most inclined to find comfort in the other people of her race, and still holds resentment against argonians for their unforgivable misgivings against her people. Aside from her talents with casting, she often held an ebony dagger belted under her long, dusty rose cloak. Her cloak was of a fine craft, and although the colour had faded, one could still see the distinguishable rich reds, purples and gold fabrics that made up her cloak and hood-which she often wore over her long black hair.

Name: Glendale Vandhart Race: Bretons Age: 32 Vague Background:
Upon entering his forsaken life, he was born into a family of lowly people, off the outskirts of Anvil, 34. The place is still scorched from the events of Oblivion nearly after many centuries later. His father a Smith, and 3 sons, who help there father in the smiths. During his childhood, he'd always have a habit of stealing from others, most of the time, it'd be in broad daylight, and no one would notice, mostly due his height, and his witty hands. Most of the time, petty, nothing to far. Until he stole from the wrong man. This man was apart of the governing council of Anvil, from what he stole was two documents which could change Anvil, and possibly, Cyrodiil forever. Now of course the man looked everywhere to find those two documents, even calling upon the other cities to find it. Upon one day, he found it, two guardsmen of Anvil found them in our house, after searching. When this happened, the 3 sons and I, were hidden from the rest, and the parents. They suffered from this, badly. They were hanged on the spot, and they found 1 of the sons, jailing him. The other two and I ran off, we found ourselves in a town half-way from Kvatch, and so, we begged, for money, food, whatever we can get our hands on, so we can travel to Kvatch. Sadly during a winter, the last two sons died of hypothermia, and were given a small burial outside of the town. I with the items I had, waited for Spring to end, and moved to Kvatch, at this time I was 15, so I grew some. Upon entering I quickly went into the shadows, and stole, from whoever I could. So I continued this until I stole from a traveler, in his bed. Sleeping. I stole from him his Sword, Shield, and his helmet. But it was rusty at the time, so it wouldn't do much. But I kept the sword and I trained myself with it, making unique techniques and and forms. Making me more complex to understand in combat. Later on by the time I was 21, I was able to buy a full set of Leather armor, and a new Shield and sword. From there I ventured on to join a brigand of Bandits, and continue from there, and upon that time, I was able to somewhat read, from spying and using my knowledge he got, so from there he continued to try and try to read the books. Eventually, I learned a couple of standard spells, nothing much. And hence from there on. And, thus, I was 34 at the time, and one thing changed for me. Quite a big one indeed.

Name of Character: Ulthywyr Race: Breton Age: 27 Gender: Male Background: Born in the city of Evermore to a traveling merchant and his family, Ulthywyr was a bit of an odd child, striking up conversation with the passing traders and tavernkeeps while his father roamed the lands between High Rock and Hammerfell. Often alone more than not, he had no permanent friends nor traveling companions, the family eventually established themselves a home near the western border of Hammerfell, able to deal and trade with those passing by the general vicinity. Fearing their family would eventually go hungry, the boy began to steal and connive himself goods and wares, often passing them onto his father or reselling them himself. From this practice stemmed his able voice and knack for persuasion, often starting a talk then pickpocketing while the hapless victim was distracted. Not all was meant to be however, he arrived home to their small cottage one night to find his family all on the ground, his home rummaged and ransacked. Fearing the for the worst, he gathered what little belongings he had and set off back to High Rock. This would not start off well, however, for as soon as he managed to create some distance he was set upon by bandits, being robbed and stripped of what little he owned and carried with him. Left for dead, he ventured into forests and woods, learning to forage and take advantage of what nature had given the world. With time, he would raid and steal from the neighboring towns and villages, eventually being able to clothe and feed himself sufficiently. Once while doing so, he was discovered by a trio of figures, clad in robes that were akin to those of a wizard's, these people would introduce themselves as the Vigilants of Stendarr, and offer him a place in their ranks, stating that they needed young people with potential to assist them in their cause. Ulthywyr would reluctantly accept and almost fully join their ranks, however their cuck policies did not precisely fit him. Setting off in the dead of night, Ulthywyr set off once again, looking back once to offer silent thanks to those that had given him skills he could use to balance this harsh world.
Despite his somewhat rough childhood, Ulthywyr matured into a surprisingly jubilant and stoic man. Appearing as an unremarkable traveler to any unfortunate band of highwaymen, they are quickly shocked that the man possesses as a remarkable talent for hand-to-hand, or rather, foot-to-torso combat, supplemented by restoration and alteration magic learned from his time training under the Vigilants. He remains clad in the Vigilant's trademark robes, enchanted with a bias towards restoration magic. Gauntlets, however were his ideal choice for armwear, sporting a pair of hefty steel ones - perfect for punching a cuck in the face. His lower body and legs are protected by a pair of thick leather boots lined with steel for protection. Over his body is a cloak, brown and unremarkable like the man himself, however with one major contrast, pinned to the shoulder of the cloak was a small yet easily recognizable pin, that of the Direnni bloodline.

Name of Character: Kaeso Marius Race: Imperial Age: 28 Gender: Male Vague Background: After joining the Imperial Legion, Marius quickly rose to the rank of Quaestor before eventually being given command of a small unit as Praefect. He led his men to multiple victories against banditry and highwaymen before watching them all perish in front of him in a well-orchestrated ambush. He sent for his trusted messenger to deliver the news after Marius was able to sneak back to his camp under cover of night. He was all that was left of the raid and he hung his head in between his legs while he sat on a rock near his campfire. This was when he made a decision that would change his life. He gathered up all the belongings and documents of everyone in his camp and piled it on top of his campfire, erecting a funeral pyre to their memories. Out of the fire flew a piece of paper, destined by the gods he believed. It was the order for this raid on the bandits, somewhat charred and disfigured by the fire. Marius took it and placed it into a scroll tube with his pack before setting off, burning his camp to the ground and his old identity with it. Now he wanders towards Skyrim in hopes of starting a new life, knowing his defeat would cause himself to be in front of a court of officers, but his desertion would also put him on an execution block. Neither looked good to Marius.

Name of Character: Rhakas Race:Orsimer Age:25 Gender:Male Vague Background: An orc berserker who wields a mighty hammer made of ebony and stone. Very quick to anger and very quick to act, it's probably best if he's on your side. He grew up an apprentice for his father, who was a renowned master smith. After going to gather materials from the town, he came home only to find his village in ruins, and his family slaughtered before him, as the bandits laughed....He can remember their laughter...and then...their screams, as he took up his father's hammer and smashed their skulls into the dirt.
