Name: Varth
Race: Dark Elf
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Physical Description: Varth is a tall man, standing at roughly 6’ 2’’, with handsome, hawk-like features and burning red eyes like others of his race. His skin is the pale ash color of other Dunmer, and his body structure is thin and wiry, with well-trained muscles hiding beneath his duster.
Mental Description: Varth is easy to get along with, and enjoys telling jokes and spreading banter. He can rather naive at times due to his age, which often gets him into trouble. Despite this, he is rather wise (at least for his age), is a natural leader, and has an insatiable hunger for power. He has a small, sarcastic ego, but is confident in his abilities nonetheless.
Equipment: Varth carries a simple iron saber as his main melee weapon (which is often used). He wears no armor except a pair of leather travel boots. Varth is often seen wearing a black leather duster jacket full of many pockets, in which he holds many useful items such as pocket knives, potions, alchemical ingredients, his purse, and other oddities.
Combat Skills: Varth was trained by a swordmaster in the land of Morrowind before beginning his pilgrimage into the world. The training was brief, but the Dunmer learned a lot, becoming an adept in swordplay and learning the technique behind many unarmed fighting styles, though he is but a novice in martial combat.
Magic Skills: Varth is highly skilled in the fields of Alteration and Conjuration. He excelled in the field of Alteration (and its sub-schools, thaumaturgy and mysticism), surpassing other’s skills within a few weeks, and figuring out new ways to use the school, such as through creating sympathetic links, and creating physical attacks through the school. Conjuration, his other favorite skill, is used to summon unique Deadra from the outer realms, as well as his powerful ethereal ancestors. Destruction and Illusion, his other two used magic schools, are rarely used, but still dangerous.
Other Skills: Varth is very skilled in alchemy and cooking, and has just begun to grasp the basics of enchanting. In addition, he is well versed in ancient history and lore.
History: Varth was born and raised in an orphanage in the city of Balmora, never knowing his parents. After ten years of surviving on scraps of food and constantly stealing to survive, Varth was discovered by the Tribunal Temple, and inducted into its ranks. His prowess in magic was quickly noted, and he soared through the ranks, being the youngest acolyte to complete the Seven Graces. It was decided my envious superiors that Varth would have to take an extended pilgrimage into the world to understand how other faiths are inferior, in a hope that he would be killed.

Name - Hroggar the Mad
Race - Nord
Gender - Male
Age - 56
Class - Priest
Skills - He is an adept of Destruction, Conjuration, Alteration and Illusion, and can make various odd, crippling poisons.
Appearance - He is a tall, stocky fellow, with ragged, greying brown hair. One of his eyes is green, and the other is amber. He is an old, hardened man with a number of mysterious scars. He has the tan of someone who considers having a house to be posh. He's missing two of his teeth (which he claims he sold to the Ayleids in exchange for the meaning of life). He has hoarse, gravelly voice.
Inventory - He has a tall, gnarled wooden staff, inscribed with a number of Daedric runes. Through unknown means, he's magically bonded himself to the staff, so that he can cast spells through it without even holding it. (For instance, he could position the staff on the opposite side of a room from him, and cast a spell so that comes from the staff instead of from him). His connection to the staff is limited so that he has to be aware of where the staff is; if it was stolen, he wouldn't be able to use it, but if someone told him where it was, he could.
He wears a suit of leather armor, with a long, tattered leather cloak. He has a bear-skull helmet, with a single deer's antler implanted on the left side of it's forehead.
Biography - He was born in one of the most backwater, inbred noble families of the Reach. Descended from Hackdirt cultists, they made their fortune managing a large, isolated diamond mine. His family had been seen as recluses and eccentrics for generations, and were generally treated with great suspicion, but young Hroggar was a rare exception. He was seen by the locals as a nice, intelligent young lad, and he would often make trips to Markarth to converse with the locals. When he was nineteen, he moved to the Imperial City and quickly became known as an expert in subjects such as the Outer Realms, the Psijics, and other oddities of magic.
His studies lead him into the dustiest, oldest annals of the University Library. Over the years, he went from being an extroverted, likable youth to a moody, anti-social obsessive. His studies engrossed him, and he rarely even discussed his findings with the other mages.
Eventually, completely confident in his abilities as a mystic, he attempted to travel to the Outer Realms, using an old Altmeri ritual he'd discovered in a tome from the mid Second Era.
The ritual, which he performed on the shores of Lake Rumare, was a complete failure. The ingredients were all in the wrong quantities, he mispronounced a number of the words, and he hadn't nearly enough magic to power the trip.
It left him broken, trap in a bizarre border-realm between Oblivion and the Mundus, a place of alien geometries and dark, trapped beings.
It was there that he was found by Sheogorath, who claimed him for his own. Hroggar solemnly took his place as an agent of the Mad God, spreading Paranoia and Schizophrenia to the citizens of Tamriel. He has since wandered Tamriel, babbling nonsense prophecies and begging for spare change.

With the secret support and help from her father, she learned to swing a blade and hit a target at age 12. Her mother espically frowned upon the whole fighter/adventurer dream of Ray's.

Name: Marque Hearthton
Race: Breton Gender: Male
Age: 56
Physical Description: Marque is sleek in build, both in torso and limbs. His legs and arms have slightly more muscle mass, due to the common walks he preforms. His hair is gray, and still long, but going no further than his ears and the bottom of his neck. While normally combed back, current situations have stolen the time to do so, and as of such, it runs loose and wild. Skin is somewhere lost between tan and pale. Wide brown brown eyes compliment his nose of similar size, and large lips finish it all off. Wrinkles showing his years are most common near his lips and eyes, though mostly they mass on his forehead.
Mental Description: In times of peace, Marque is a kind man. Blessed with a yearning for knowledge and high intelligence, he loves to talk of all things magic, and is a natural teacher. Ever the patient one, he is willing to listen to others plans for hours on end, often adding in his own thoughts. When someone does not understand something, he does his best to describe it in terms they understand. Marque is a While excusing stupidity, the ignorant make him enraged, as of such, he mocks them loudly. When they are not around, of course. However, when under stress, the aged Breton has a rash manner of thinking, constant worry, a obession for his well being, and only his well being.
Equipment: Marque is often found in a blue mages robe with a leather belt tied around the waist, with shoes of simple pigskin. The most interesting piece he has is a Mace of Daedric orgin. He bought it from a odd traveling merchant, in hopes of it being a effective weapon. It turned out that Mace is one used by Dremora, but hardly as dangerous as a true Daedric mace. Forged by weaker Daedra, it's potency equals to that of a common steel mace. It is quite a cumbersome weapon, but over the years, Marque hs gotten used to his weapon. The only reason he refuses to throw the mace away is because he refuses to waste it, even if he did pay a inflated price for it. Combat Skills: Marque is a mage, not a fighter. The only skills he posses that one may consider combat oriented are the ability to wield blunt weapons efficiently, and a talent for athletics. Often times, he would take morning walks around the arcane university everyday, for sevreal years. Other days, he would jog around the campus to keep himself in shape. Pratice with the mace over the years has made him handy with a mace.
Magic Skills: Being a Scholar at the Arcane University, Marque needed to have a talent in the magical arts. Since a young age, he has been studying Destruction spells, Conjuration of Daedra, and the Restoration school. Under the various schools, he knows several spells that can be used in combat without to many bad results. Such spells include a burning ball of flame being thrust forth in one united orb (Fire Ball), bringing a low ranking Kyn of Dagon's deadlands into Mundus to act as a Guardian (Summon Dremora Catiff), and the mending of damage to one's physical form (Heal Major Wounds).
Other Skills: Amazing memory, high intellect
History: Growing up in Chorrol, Marque was always in close contact with the Mage's Guild. Enchanted by their sercets, he joined at the age of 17. Noted for his apptitude for helping other mages learn, he spent years attempting to get to the lofty goal of all Mages, the Arcane University. He learned many things there, and when he became 30, he was offered the postion of a Scholar. His research revealed much about the various schools, and students were always happy to learn under his calm hand. A short time after the Oblivion Crisis, he bought a Daedric mace, but was dismayed to learn that it was a weak weapon, made for Churls of Dremora. He planned to spend the rest of years teaching and learning about Magic.

He grew quiet and distant rarely speaking to his mother. Eventually when he thought he was ready he joined the imperial army.

He then traveled the country for years doing most tasks he found that payed well enough, save for a few things that went against his moral code such as slavery or skooma/sugar smuggling. Although Trannigan did gain fame as well as quite a bit of infamy in Cyrodiil so he left before the law could bring him down. When the apocalypse broke out he had to retreat to the wilderness (of wherever we decide we are lol) and took to live off the land. He tried to stay out of big cities and instead stuck with smaller villages, aiding people in necessary or checking for needed supplies if they ended up being over-run or abandoned. the plague had in some way been beneficial to Trannigan for before the zombies showed up his talents were more focused towards a warrior that was proficient with shock magic.

Race: Imperial
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Class/Profession: Gladiator

When in the arena, he sports nothing more than light padding for his private regions, leather boots, and leather gauntlets. When outside however, he dons a loose robe and coarse silk lowers.
Mental Description: Arturo is a charming and friendly sort. Enjoys a good joke, and generally an amiable person. His good-natured disposition is however, a mask that veils his deep, inner pain and angst that he has kept inside of himself since childhood. A rage the likes of which would strike fear into the heart of any man. He only lets this part of himself take manifestation in the arena. Takes a liking to bards, hunters, warriors, rich and poor alike. Is neutral about mages, but harbors a severe loathing for thieves and assassins.

However, his father took to drinking and gambling, and eventually, they lost everything. Unable to continue with his education, Arturo took what little he knew of combat, and improved it until he was able to join the arena. With his family finally supported once more, Arturo was pleased with life when suddenly an enemy of his father performed the black sacrament, ordering the Dark Brotherhood to kill his father. The contract went wrong, and his entire family was killed in the process, while looters took everything they could, and burned the house down. He survived only because he was at a match at the time. He acts as if nothing ever happened, and carried on with his life, but this deeply scarred him.

With his life blood leaving him Daedalus lay by the roadside and excepted his fate. Much to his surprise, Daedalus did awaken in a lone cottage. Not long an alchemist by the name of Sinderion entered and told him of how he found him by the roadside and nursed him back to health. They soon became fast friends and the older man taught Daedalus all he knew about alchemy. After 2 years of being Sinderion's assistant, Sinderion suddenly left.

Name: Parvo Sestius
Race: Imperial
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Physical Description: Parvo is roughly averaged height for his age at 6 foot 1. His hair is a dark brown and he keeps it cut short however most of the time it is hidden underneath his hood. Whilst he has been out of proper training for a while he has kept himself as trim as possible but a life of priesthood does not lend itself it to the intense conditioning he would need to keep his former shape, he is still broad shouldered and slightly more muscled than your average priest.
Mental Description: Pious and deeply devoted to the Nine, specifically Stendarr because of this he abhors the unnatural. He has been known to optionally accompany groups of temple hired knights to root out necromancers and daedra worshipers out of his want to take the fight to them.
Equipment: A flanged steel mace, his old vigilant armor (slightly worn and not as protective as it used to be), copies of various religious books and a bedroll.
Combat Skills: After his time as a Vigilant, however brief, he is proficient with the weapon of Stendarr's choice, the mace. He also learnt to use the partial, concealed armor of the Vigilants, knowing almost instinctively how to twist to take strikes as a glancing shot rather than full on on the flat chest plate.
Magic Skills: Basic restoration magic learnt working as a priest healing the infirm.
Other Skills: None as such his life in the priesthood, whilst not being easy, provided him with the basics he needed to survive. The only survival tricks he has left to him are fading memories of his time as a Vigilant.
History: Born in the Imperial City Parvo grew up without any real trade or skills. He became a wanderer, drifting his way from province to province, city to city. He was in Bruma when the Mythic Dawn attempted to destroy it by opening a great gate outside it. The sight of a former priest of Akatosh leading the combined forces, accompanied by the Champion, into battle was staggering to him. This inspired him to find a calling of his own.
Parvo was one of the first Vigilants, joining the order straight after the horrors of the the Oblivion Crisis. He found a home in the Order of Vigilants and companionship to boot. They took his raw energy and directed it, turning it into fervor for the Divines.
He spent as much time as he could with the Vigilants training and working to seek out Daedra worshipers but eventually a time came when he thought it would be best to settle

Name: Gearalt the Valiant
Gender: Male
Race: Nord
Age: 35
Physical: Standing at an impressive seven feet and three inches, Gearalt towers over other races and stands out in a group. His long blonde hair draqes to his waist and is held together by a leather strap. Gearalt's face is of a blocky and chiseled nature, only blemished with small beard stubble. He would be a looker if not for a large scar seamlessly running down his nose.
Mental: Gearalt does not always think things through under pressure, resorting to brute force if taken by surprise. During his time with the Fighters Guild, this sudden behavior shift made many an easy task more difficult to complete. He cares little for other races, but will not leave a comrade behind if there is no other alternative. More friendly swords means more chances to swing your sword in the future.
Equipment: A Silver claymore enchanted with the devastating cold of the north. A full set of steel armor sans helmet. Slung across his body is a leather hide sack filled with rations.
Combat: Gearalt only knows how to use that big sword of his and is surprisingly agile with it. However, given any other weapon and he will be reduced to a novice.
Magic: When there's not enough room to swing your sword, you need to at least do something. While he's not the best mage, Gearalt can at least use a frost spell to keep close enemies at bay and a healing spell when a chapel is too far.
Stealth: Stealth is not Gearalt's strong suit. But if there is a rock big enough, he could perhaps execute a well timed chop on an unsuspecting enemy.
History: Born in Snowhawk and raised by a tavern wench, Gearalt did not have much going for him and tried his best to find something that interested him. It was not until he found a big stick outside and swinging it at the bushes and trees did he discover his calling. To travel Tamriel with a big sword. At the ripe age of 16, Gearalt left Snowhawk to adventure, hoping to help his mother and make himself a living. He found himself doing odd ball jobs given to him by the Fighters Guild who saw no future for the kid. That was until he was given an assignment by his friend and mentor, Gallaron the Valiant, who believed the young Gearalt could accomplish the task rather than he. Gearalt was to stop a small group of smugglers in the northern reaches of High Rock. He escaped death countless of times just to even catch a glimpse of these criminals, and when he did catch up to the smugglers, Gearalt sheathed his claymore into their bodies. When word reached Gallaron, he was overcome with joy, and bestowed on Gearalt his moniker. Thus dubbing him, Gearalt the Valiant. Since then, Gearalt has helped countless people with his heroics.

Name: Vannas Andrethi
Race: Dunmer
Gender: male
Age:born 87 years old.
Birth sign: The Mage
Affiliations: ex-Telvanni, ex-Dark Brotherhood, the Daedric princes
Physical description: Vannas is a tall man, standing at 6'3''. He has sharp, handsome, features and the burning crimson eyes of his kin. He has thick, black hair that reaches just passed his shoulders. His skin is the same pale ash color of other Dunmer. His body structure is lean and wiry, with well trained-muscles. He has several scars, most of which aren't noticeable except for a large scar on his chest in the from of a clawing hand. Several tattoos adorn his body. They consist of blessings and words of power given to him by the Daedric princes. They have a bluish, purple color and are written in old Dunmeric and Daedric runes.
Mental description: He is usually a nice man to get along with. He used to be somewhat naive but that completely changed after his father's dead.
When he isn't drunk or passed out on the street he can be found outside the cities, hunting the zombies that now plague the lands, because they remind him of his father in his last stages of the disease that struck him. He believes he brings his father peace that way.
He hungers for power, something everyone of the Andrethi clan has or had in common and he especially seeks the remedy for death. It are also the same people that were responsible for this hunger, who he hates the most. Especially his own brother, Sindorill, who is the only other Andrethi still alive.
His favorite passing of time is using his knowledge of runes to blow things up. The larger the better, and if he can do this he often doesn't care how much of his magicka reserves it will cost.
Skills: As the son of two Telvanni wizards he was taught the ways of magic from the day he was old enough to speak and logically think. His favorite schools being conjuration and alteration (with the sub-schools: Thaumaturgy and mysticism) in which he already excelled at a young age, eventually even mastering them. He is an expert at summoning all kinds of unique creatures from Oblivion, depending on the situation. His knowledge of alteration goes further than the common spells taught at the different Mages Guilds.
He is also well trained in the use of rune magic, especially the exploding ones have been mastered since he loves to set up a rune and wait until something or someone (enemies) gets blown apart by it. He knows little about the school of restoration save some basic healing spells and a spell to cure poison or disease and a bit about Illusion, how to silence or paralyze someone..
Apart from his knowledge in the ways of magic, he also knows his way around weapons. The sword and bow being his favorite. Practicing archery and swordplay started out as a hobby his parents allowed him to have but after a few years he turned it into another field of study. He became a capable swordsman, able to hold his ground in battle without much effort, and is a pretty darn good archer.
Due to his former profession he also knows how to move around unseen by blending in into crowds, shadows, nature, … He knows how not to be seen when he doesn't want to be.
Other minor skills include cooking, survival, tracking and simple non-magical medical treatment and alchemy. He had to learn the last two skills since he doesn't have much knowledge of restoration.
Weapons: he carries no weapons with him because they only weight him down. Instead he relies on bound bow or bound swords to fight when he has to. Apart from summoning these weapons, he tries not to use his magicka to spare his rather large magicka reserves for real dire situations. He tries to do this, but when he is drunk he can't be bothered.
Clothing/Armor: he usually dresses in dyed-black leather armor, reinforced at the vital areas by dyed-black chainmail. It gives relative protection although it will not stop a swordchop or arrows, but in return it gives him a lot of movement possibility which he wouldn't get when wearing heavier armor. Over his leather armor he wears a long coat, with hood. It is of a very dark grey, almost black color. It is worn, covered in stains of blood and other liquids, dirt, the right sleeve has been torn apart just above the elbow and the buttons he uses to close it have been torn off and lost so he can close it anymore. On his left shoulder pad is the symbol of Boethiah and on his right a symbol of Mephala.
Brief History: He is the child of two Telvanni wizards. His mother died during childbirth so he never knew her although he has a clear image of her by the stories his father used to tell. He grew up learning magic and fighting with sword and bow until his father got ill when an experiment went bad. Vannas had no idea how to cure his father since it seemed to be a magickal disease so he travelled to most of the Telvanni wizards and master wizards seeking their help but they all bluntly refused. Even his own brother, who was so jealous of his father, refused to help.
His father's state became worse quickly and Vannas even tried something he had never done before He prayed to the eight and one. Being a daedra worshipper it was a hard thing to do for him but he knew the daedric princes wouldn't help him and he was ready to convert to the church of the eight and one if they'd help him and his father. But his prayers were good for nothing. (Making him hate the Eight and One.)
At home the day finally came his father couldn't live on. The man had become a raving lunatic, his flesh was rotting, his mind was failing until the point he was just a sort of zombie only interested in ripping apart the people in front of him.
Vannas had no choice but to put him down. He became bitter and a drunk. He had spend all his money and belongings in inns and bars pumping his body full of alcohol while getting into brawls until the Dark Brotherhood found him. They took him in, seeing potential in him and trained him as good as they could.
When a contract came in to assassinate one of the Telvanni wizards that had refused to cure his father, Vannas ordered it to be given to him. He completed his task without wasting any time and with great efficiency. Locating these wizards and killing them became an obsession. At first he would do it in-between his contracts and with his own funds but he began to refuse orders from his superiors to locate the Telvanni wizards and kill them. When they found out he had started using Dark Brotherhood funds for his operation they decided he was uncontrollable and unable to continue his line of work.
They've put him on inactive and he has been kicked out of the brotherhood with the threat that if he ever mentions the brotherhood again they would end his life and that of all his relatives. (something he has considered once and a while, just to get rid of his brother as well.) he fell into that same hole again: drinking, brawling, with the addition of moon sugar, skooma and gambling.
When the zombie apocalips started he managed to get his life somewhat on track again, although he still drinks to much when he is in the safe, walled cities. But it became his new mission to get on the roads to hunt down as much zombies as possible.
