Civil War Aftermath

"We are the fangs of Mede, hear us howl..."

Okay people if you read the intro you would know this RP takes place six months after the civil war. It was a stormcloak victory (Sadly ). And I changed a bunch of stuff that didn't happen in-game, such as Elsief and Ulfric marrying, and Tullius surviving. There's going to be three factions, the stormcloak Garrison (Which is lead by our dear friend ColonelKillabee), the imperial legion (Lead by yours truly ), and civilians. You can defect to any of these three factions if you choose too later on. And your part of a specific unit if you choose legion or stormcloak. The RP takes place in Falkreath.

My character sheet.

Name: Baldur Red-Snow aka "The Unkindled"

Rank: Stormcloak Captain

Age: 37

Race: Nord

Birthsign: The Serpent

Appearance: Brown long hair, no scars. Blue war paint on half of his face. Braided beard. 6 feet three inches tall, good muscle build.

Background: Father was a Legionnaire, mother is a Dibella priestess…yea. Guess how they met? His mother did not want to leave for the life of a wife, so we left her and moved to Bruma. His father stayed in the Legion, and he joined the Stormcloaks, feeling betrayed by the Legion, and not understanding his father’s explanation of why he stays loyal. He made the mistake of letting this be known, so he didn’t get the chance to fight often with the Stormcloaks. Not until he proved himself by agreeing to infiltrate an Imperial fort and kill their Captain. Little did he know the Captain was his father. His Stormcloak Captain knew.

He dresses up as a legion recruit and said he had urgent news for the Captain of the fort. His father, wearing his full legion heavy armor with his helmet spotted him immediately and signaled with his hands to come in the fort, not wanting to give away who he was with his voice. When they were alone in the fort tower, his father removed his helmet and let him know who he was, and Baldur, while taken aback did not hesitate to strike at him. Most of his attacks were brushed off easily, his father's armor being made of Skyforge steel, as was his axe and shield. Baldur was using standard recruit gear, and the sword was one recovered from a skirmish his squad was in, and was battle damaged. His father taunted him during the fight, calling him names, making jokes, trying to get him angry and screw up. The last thing his father said to him was it was fitting that he be a traitor since he was the son of a [censored].

That angered Baldur and almost led to his downfall. His father sidestepped his charge and in one movement swiped at his son's back. Baldur pivoted to block the blow, and the skyforge axe shattered his battle damaged sword, and sliced across his sword arm. Baldur, desperate and angered by the fresh wound and the sting of blood in his eye that splattered in his face from it tackled him and beat him to death with the pommel of the sword. He dressed up in his father's outfit, took his sword and shield, and used a rope and a great sword to scale down the fort walls from his father's window, by sticking the sword through his desk, and using the desk as an anchor for the base of the rope, and tying the rope to the sword's hilt.. There was many Imperial patrols nearby, so the outfit came in handy.

He was made Captain for assisting Ulfric in his escape at Helgen. He was about to be roasted alive by Alduin while being attacked by legionaries and he pushed Ulfric out the way and used two dead legion soldiers for cover. Ulfric had to pull their seared flesh off of him to get him free. For this reason, his nickname is “The Unkindled”. His weapon of choice is his family skyforge steel war axe and a skyforge steel shield of fire resistance. They are the weapons that he took from his father. Ulfric had his court wizard enchant the shield as a reward. His combat prowess was decent, but he did not feel it was significant enough to be captain. He is brave and loyal to the cause, and beat his own father in combat. Ulfric thinks this is good enough. Baldur will have a lot to live up to, as people expect him to be as good a leader and fighter as his father. Baldur never expected the position of leader to be thrust upon him so soon, but it has, and he will lead to the best of his ability, mirroring his father's teachings, whether his ghost likes it or not.

I'm new to this, so if I need to add more details, feel free to let me know.
