(In-game, Skyrim, Valton thread: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1358757-wip-valton-the-new-hold/ )
Here is the opening Info, under construction:
The RP Concept
As settlers we will begin to build a new hold in Skyrim in the Rift between Ivarstead and Riften. Some may choose to go to start a new life, others looking to earn coin by building, setting up a shop or becoming town guards. Others still may just find themselves there and end up deciding to stay. This RP will be very balanced between socialization and combat. Town RPs usually focus on character interaction, and that will be true with this one, but a new settlement far out in the woods may look like a ripe target to bandit clans, and wild life may come because of the scent of food (leading to hunting to lower the population of dangerous animals as well as for meat.
Valton:
An ambitious project began in the Rift several months ago: a new settlement sprung up alongside a river, between Ivarstead and Riften. Enough land was purchased for the new settlement, Valton, to be recognized as a new, separate hold, and the man who had purchased the land, Radwulf Spurvhauke, was given the title of Jarl. Valton is still growing, with the castle, Gudslott Keep, being erected first, and then several smaller buildings were built around it, though most of them are currently empty. In an attempt to attract as many citizens as possible to the new hold, Jarl Spurvhauke has set an extremely low price on these homes: a mere 1,000 golden septims, and settlers have been coming in from all over in a hope of a better life or a chance at making some coin, and as a new settlement, there is plenty of opportunity to do so.
In this RP you will enter the Hold as a settler, or looking for work. Your character can take up any job in the new hold you can think of, here are some examples (

Co-GM - Vincent McCool
Fiona Barrow-Heart-(Reachwoman-(Nord/Breton))
Spoiler
Name: Fiona Barrow-Heart
Age: 41
Race: Reachwoman (Nord/Breton)
Gender: Female
Height: 5'11
Birthsign: The Apprentice
Appearance: Being a native of The Reach, Fiona's appearance naturally falls somewhere between the average idea of a Breton and a Nord. Fiona Barrow-Heart is a tall woman, with an unruly mess of shoulder length auburn hair. Fiona has the long. lithe limbs of a Nord complimented by the more rounded facial features of a Breton. Her nutmeg coloured eyes are dashed with green, her pale skin is generally anoited with a simple pattern of face paint: black below the eyes and two marks on one cheek. Her lips are an unnatural grey. A certain light behind the eyes, an animation in her expressions provides Fiona Barrow-Heart with something of the look of a wild beauty. (or something like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/259/fionabriarbarrow.png/ )
Class: Witch (Applying for position of Court Mage)
Skills and known spells:
Alchemy - An impressive knowledge of the magical propeties of flora native to Skyrim
Alternation - Journeyman level at best
Conjuration - A worrying affinity with the communion and summoning of undead and daedric creatures.
Destruction - Essentially capable in the flinging of lightening bolts, and the application of certain frost and fire runes
Enchanting - Skilled in the preperation and study of a vast array of enchantments
Illusion - Conspiculously talented
Restoration - Competent to a reasonable level in restorative magic
Clothing / armor: Fiona wears a simple, slightly ragged mage's robe, complete with various pouches. Around her wrists, her neck and in her ears she wears various ornaments, mainly fashioned of bone, mainly bone from creatures she herself has killed.
Weapons: Fiona carries a small hunter's knife for the gathering of ingedients, and a mage's staff which omenously finishes it what appears to be a human skull.
Miscellaneous items: Fiona brings with her a trunk full of various pieces of mage's miscellany; soul gems, scrolls, a few books, and a number of alchemical ingredients.
Personality: Fiona Barrow-Heart is often a severe woman. She takes the arcane arts rather seriously; her powerful mind is often far away in the contemplation of deep mystic mysteries, even when she is being addressed. She is an animated woman, hands always busy, mind never empty of ideas. Her own mastery of magic leans towards the practical side, and she is deeply pratical in all her dealings with other people. Her heart is profoundly spiritial, althought Fiona may often be sharp with those who do not understand her, she is an extremely empathetic, if not sympathetic woman.
Major flaw: While not actually mad, Fiona Barrow-Heart could easily be described as "away with the faeries". It has often been joked that she gets on better with Will-o-the-Wisps than with actual people, and this is hard to dispute. In actuality, human affairs seem to bother her a chillingly small amount.
Background: Fiona grew up amongst the natives of the Reach, in a community that became entangled in the Forsworn rebellion. Local witches noticed her unusual talent for magic at a young age and plucked her from her village, to educate the girl in the ways of their Hagravens. However, Fiona's thirst for knowledge was insaitable, and as a young advlt she rejected the oppertunity herself to become a Hagraven and left the covern to join the College of Winterhold, where she held a research position for many years. Though her research was undoutably brilliant, Fiona became increasingly detached from the other mages at the College, and, with a glowing recommendation from Arch-Mage Savos Aren, left to wander Skyrim and practice her arts alone. When word of a new Hold being opened and the position of Court Mage coming available reached her, Fiona Barrow-Heart rushed to The Rift in reply. It turns out one can only spend so much time living in caves and talking exclusively to Hagravens before one becomes insufferably bored.

GorbadPS3 & Vincent McCool
Radwulf Spurvhauke-(Nord)
Spoiler
Name: Radwulf Spurvhauke
Age: 57
Race: Nord
Gender: Male
Height: 6’4”
Birthsign: The Lady
Appearance: He is fair skinned though dark circles have developed beneath his eyes, and he he appears to have a leathery toughness to his skin as well from his time spent in both the legion, and enduring the docks and ships of Anvil. He has green eyes, and dark brown, wavy hair that reaches down to his shoulders, and a fairly long, full beard, braided at the ends. Overly tall and lanky in his youth, years in the legion filled Radwulf out, giving him an impressive frame, complete with very broad shoulders.
Class (what would you describe your character as?): Jarl
Skills and known spells (if any): Radwulf is more than competent with a blade, but his main weapon is his mind. Jarl Radwulf has a keenly anolytical brain, and is a hard man to fool.
Clothing / armor: He wears an orange cloak with a white fur collar over black finery, as well as steel plate boots, and steel bracers.
Weapons: A silver short sword, more for decoration than anything.
Miscellaneous items: N/A
Personality: He was once a shrewd, selfish man who cared only for himself and his family, but since his wife’s death, his personality has softened considerably. When the one thing in the world that mattered to him more than anything was gone, he no longer cared so much for worldly possessions, as he finally realized how little they meant to him. This isn’t to say he won’t surround himself by luxury, but that he takes little pleasure from it, and is far more generous than he was. He often appears melancholy.
Major flaw: He hasn’t been himself ever since his wife passed away. While this doesn’t tend to visibly affect him, he tends not to pay attention to people when he drifts down memory lane, as he has become prone to do.
Background: He grew up in Anvil where his family had lived for several generations, and spent much time learning of business practice from his father. When he came of age, he joined the legion, and quickly rose through the ranks. Radwulf kept the supply books for General Decianus during the Great War. It was said that the young Radwulf's acumen had saved the lives of thousands during that campaign in Hammerfall. During this campaign, Radwulf met his future wife, Allendra, and moved to Skyrim in order to marry her. Afterwards he and his wife moved to Anvil to take over the Spurvhauke family business.
In Anvil his family owned a shipping company that had been in business for well over a hundred years, and had made his family rich. Radwulf took to the business well, as his father had taught him to when he was younger, and he soon proved to be a shrewd businessman. His family had always been wealthy, but with Radwulf leading the shipping company, they soon gained riches to rival nobility. Radwulf, his wife, and son lived well like this, and they would have remained in Anvil if not for the day Radwulf’s wife, Allendra, grew ill.
They had healers come to tend to her, but she grew worse despite their efforts, and within a few days she was dead. Her dying wish was to be buried where she was born, which meant the Rift in Skyrim, and so Lliro and Radwulf traveled by boat around the continent arriving in the Solitude harbor. From there the duo took the coffin and their possessions to the Rift by wagon, and eventually they found a nice spot to bury her. Radwulf decided he didn’t want to return to Anvil, as he couldn’t bear to leave his wife behind, so he arranged for his shipping company to be sold, and he used his wealth to purchase as much land as he could in the Rift.
And so after much work, Valton was built, and became a new hold.

Co-GM GorbadPS3
Gorbad Yak-Bogadbu-(Orc)
Spoiler
Name: Gorbad Yak-Bogadbu
Age: 72
Race: Orc
Gender: Male
Height: 6’2’’
Birthsign: The Lord (Those born under the sign of the Lord are stronger and healthier than those born under other signs, which explains why is in such a good shape even at such a high age)
Appearance: A tall and muscular Orc, but age has made him look less tough and his face is full of wrinkles. His hair is bright white, but is merely a short mess at the back of his head. His skin has been exposed to the sun, the forges fire, cold and storms, giving his dark green skin a leather-kind look.
Class: Blacksmith and Enchanter
Skills:
-Armorer: Given enough heat and time, Gorbad can fix nearly anything that is broken and reinforce nearly anything.
-Smithing: As a master smith, he is able to make strong and durable weapons of any materials.
-Enchanting: His knowledge of weapons and armor is so wide that he can bless them with enchantments, if the soul gem is provided. He enchants the items with his master’s forge while creating them; he is unable to enchant anything that he doesn’t craft at that moment.
-Speech: His profession has made him quite proficient when it comes to selling and buying things, not that he needs his silver-tongue when selling his products.
Clothing / armor: A blacksmiths outfit with custom heavy armor reinforcement with a small amount of fire resistance, heavy Orcish gauntlets and boots.
Weapons: Two blacksmiths hammers that he uses in his forge.
Miscellaneous items: Tools needed at the forge, a collection containing small pieces of ore from all across Tamriel. Has a good amount of iron and leather at his forge, a small chest that used to contain his savings of gold septims, now merely 50 gold septims.
Personality: Calm and focused, loyal, friendly. Doesn’t get angry easily, but when he does, it’s serious business.
Major flaw: His age is a problem; he can feel his vigor and strength from his youth slowly fading him. The Lord-birthsign has kept him going for the last ten years and it hasn’t given up on him just yet. In a fight, he wouldn't be much of a challenge. He might be able to crack a skull with his hammer, but it'd be a game of luck for him, not skill.
Background: Gorbad has lived a long and tough life. He grew up in a stronghold. In early child-hood, his passion for smithing was far greater than his will to fight and never was an excellent warrior. That didn’t make him weaker than anyone else and he might even have been one of the strongest young-ones in the stronghold. His skills as a blacksmith were appreciated and Gorbad would surely have lived all his days in the stronghold if it wouldn’t have been for the attack against it, when he was 22. They never knew who attacked them in the darkness of the night, but there were spell casters, archers and warriors up against them and in overwhelming numbers. They were forced to retreat through the mines and blew it up behind them. This little group of Orcs eventually found their way to a new stronghold, but wasn’t welcomed with open arms. Especially the existing blacksmith didn’t like Gorbad’s arrival one bit. Out of jealousy, the strongholds blacksmith framed Gorbad for theft on his very first week there and fled the scene. Everyone thought he was guilty, eve the Orcs he had come there with. He didn’t want trouble and moved out. After that he spent time in many different places and got to learn the secrets of the arcane enchanting. It was on his travels he learned the art of business and trade and the mastery of every material known in Tamriel came from these decades of adventure and hard work. He even set up his own shop in a small town and was able to save up a nice amount of septims, around 1500 gold. Now, at the age of 72, he learned of Valton, a new hold on its making. He spent his savings to transport his forge, tools and materials to the new hold and bought a small house for the rest.

He is, however, seen by other as feral and un-educated because of his behavior. When things don't go the way he wants, or when people anger him, he tends to hiss and spit, much like a cat. it is this behavior that makes other people misjudge him as being simple-minded, which is a mistake.
He prefers the dawn and dusk, which are his most active moments of the day and by the time the sun reaches it highest place he can be found taking a powernap. He likes high places, like branches of trees, roofs, high rocks and mountain tops, … He is also carnivorous and a cannibal, although not strictly and he doesn't mind eating the animals he hunts down or even plants. Although when possible he prefers human flesh.
Major flaw: he believes nothing can hurt him due to his years of experience in a lot of fields.
Background: He was born in a small estate in Valenwood. His father, Weldarion, was a well known hunter and bounty hunter and his mother, Nardinel, who was also a gifted huntress. They settled down in the forests of Valenwood when she was pregnant of her only son. Nuramon was trained by his parents in the hunt, and close combat with all kinds of weapons, although he prefers the daggers or a shortsword.
His father taught also taught him about his family history and heritage that his blood carried. He also helped him through the first steps of accepting this heritage. He lived with them for more than a two thirds of his life. When his parents passed away due to old age he decided to leave Valenwood and pursue the same life his father and mother once lived.
He travelled around Tamriel for many years, offering his hunting and tracking skills to nobles who would organize hunting trips. This went great until a few years before the Great War started. Less and less Nobles offered him jobs and he eventually had to commit petty thievery to survive. At the start of the Great War he lived on the streets in Corinthe, committing petty thievery and even murder to survive. A high ranked nobleman hired him to take care of his shady business and as a personal bodyguard, and he accepted and started his training under the current person to have that position. After Nuramon thought he knew enough and deemed himself ready, he killed his master and killed him, making it look like an accident.
He took over the position and lived a good and wealthy life for many years. He didn't only offer his skills to the nobleman, but also to others who had the money to pay for it. When his employer was caught plotting against the current ruler of Corinthe he had to flee out of town. He stole a horse and travelled to the Imperial City as fast as possible. He travelled further, with his money, to skyrim and there he lived for many, many years. Meeting his father's friend, learning magic. But he eventually had to flee the hold after a bounty was put on his head after locals found out what he truly was and still is.
He decided to settle in the newly formed hold and start a new life without violence. He is thinking of maybe opening a shop or applying for court wizard and that fails he'll just become a local hunter.

Skills and known spells (if any): Bladed weapons, Destruction, Alteration, light & Medium armor, conjuration, block.
Minor skills: cooking, survival, non magical medical treatment.
Through years of harsh training in the hardest conditions Daikanos has become a master of bladed weapons as well as the use of destruction, alteration. He also feels comfortable wearing light and medium armor, which feels like his second skin to him and he knows how to effectively use a shield although he prefers to fight without one.. He is also faster than his build would make you think and he has great endurance making him continue were others would have stopped. He is a warrior trough and trough.
This was years back during his mercenary life. He wanted to deeper his knowledge of the destruction and alteration school of magic and through his studies he came in contact with the other schools of magic. He started studying the school of conjuration and became very good at it, even gaining the skills to prolong ones own life. For some time he even dabbled in the black arts. His magical studies don't mean he has let his condition get bad or he lost his skills with the blade. He is still as good with those as he was before his studies.
Clothing /armor: he has lost his Royal Guard armor a long time ago and now instead he wears finely crafted, dark red armor, that is even better as his beloved Royal Guard uniform. The color matches perfect with his eyes and hair and weighs a bit less than the normal medium armor. It is the perfect mix of protection and movement. Over it, mostly only over his left shoulder, he wears a broken-white cloak, complete with hood.
When not wearing any armor he wears tunic of brown expensive cloth that reaches just past his knees with a golden edges and tan lines as pants, which are usually nicely tucked away in dark brown leather boots. Around his waist a belt on which he hangs his sword.
Weapons: A double edged, straight longsword with a grip fit for two hands made out of ebony. The blade is not much wider than five centimeters and extremely sharp. It is enchanted in a way to never become dull, break or chip off. And he has another dispel effect on it that enable it to cut through magical barriers. The handle is wrapped with a dark red cloth and in the pommel is a beautiful ruby in the shape of a teardrop. On the tips of the guard are also a ruby on each side.
Over his shoulder is a cresent dunmeri scimitar strapped and when he wears his armor he is also carries several daggers. One in each boot, two on his lower back and a dagger strapped to the scabbard of his ebony sword.
Miscellaneous Items: a tinderbox, bandages, a few potions to cure disease, poison and to restore his health and energy.
Personality: He is ruthless to his enemies and feels no qualms about ending lives, but if possible he refuses to kill innocent people. He is quick of mind and decisive. When he has made up his mind he will stick with his idea. He finds it hard to admit he is wrong and will generally start grumbling, and tends to act like an annoying child when someone points out he is wrong and proves it. he is actually pretty prideful and sees himself better as most others. He is destructive and kills first and asks later. Although he has learned to control his destructiveness and aggression. Towards his friends he is a nice guy, with whom you can have lots of fun if everything keeps going the way he want things to go.
Major flaw: he has a big pride and can be arrogant sometimes. He is also pretty destructive when he gets angry. Because of his years of dabbling in destruction and in conjuration he started to hear voices in his head. They are always present, but luckily they hold no real power over him. He believes it are the voices of daedra and dremora of the oblivion but he isn't sure. He just hopes that they won't start taking over his control over his body.
Background: from a young age he was selected to join the Royal Guard of king Helseth of Morrowind. He trained hard and showed great intelligence and was eventually selected to follow up the then current captain of the Royal Guard. There was another mer selected to and together with some members of the Guard they set up a trap to get Daikanos in prison for not doing his job good.
Daikanos, however, escaped and while doing so took the life of several Royal Guards. Proving once more that he was the best one of them. He fled to Cyrodill and there he eventually became a member of the fighter's guild. But he found the contracts he got were beneath him and as such cut most of his contacts with the fighter's guild and he started of on his own as a freelancing mercenary.
He travelled far and wide and visited most places of Tamriel. But all the while never going back to Morrowind, afraid that he might be recognized by someone. When Red Year came and Morrowind got destroyed he felt sad that he never visited his beloved homeland again and thus decided to go back.
He worked as a mercenary for several years there and helped locals rebuilt their homes, towns. He took care of the problems with wildlife harassing those locals and did his best to help rebuilting Morrowind. Eventually he got recognized and ratted away by a local who could use the money. In anger he killed the man and fled Morrowind again.
He roamed around Tamriel for many years afterwards doing mercenary jobs until he got the idea to deepen himself in magic. First he joined the Synod. But soon realized they were just a group of mages not interested in the actual study of magic but more so in acquiring as many artifacts as possible.
He left the synod together with an altmer called Lorundil who is one of the last remaining Telvanni master wizards. From him he learned a lot more about magic. And he deepened his knowledge of destruction and alteration while also learning a lot of conjuration. He studied for years also serving as the altmer's bodyguard.
The more he studied the bigger his knowledge became and the more frequent he began to hear voices. Lorundil said it was very normal and not something to worry about and as such Daikanos doesn't worry about it as long as he can keep it under control. By doing experiments he found out it were souls of oblivion speaking to him and they mostly try to convince him to kill or hurt other people.
He learned to live with his devils and one day told Lorundil that he wanted to continue on his own. Their ways parted and Daikanos was alone again. He lived through the Great War and became even older without visually aging that much. Eventually he decided to settle down and maybe become a miner or farmer and perform an honest job for once in his life since he is tired of always fighting. For this he chose a little place called Valton where he is now going to.

Quintillius
Varlamo Aicandil-(Altmer)
Spoiler
Name:Varlamo Aicandil
Age: 116 (Quite young for an Altmer.)
Race: Altmer
Gender: Male
Height: Relatively tall for an Altmer even, so he'd tower over your average Nord.
Birthsign: The Tower (Varlamo has a very acute understand of The Tower, and its metaphysical meanings, which seeps into his personality.)
Appearance: http://i40.tinypic.com/6sx2tj.jpg
Class (What would you describe your character as?): Altmeri Battlemage, Thalmor Justiciar and Thalmor Politician.
Skills and known spells (if any):
Combat: He has been trained by varying tutors in the art of combat from a young age. Varlamo has been taught in several sword martial arts, and in varying magic schools both by tutors and at magical colleges. His magical style and spells are based upon the Altmeri magical doctrine. He specialises in the Destruction (primarily a fire mage) and Alteration schools and has little knowledge of the other schools.
Other: Varlamo has experienced a long and detailed education, bred and reared to be a perfect Thalmor politician and missionary. He has a vast knowledge, almost all of which comes from biased Thalmor Lessonates however, possessing very little actual experience. He is slimy, sly, intelligent, perceptive, far-seeing and tactically very sound of mind.
Clothing / armor: He adorns full Elven (minus the helmet), however the elven armour has Ebony plates, the black metal covered in ornate gold gilding. A very large muddied black fur outlined velvet cloak/cape drags behind him.
Weapons: A traditional Ebony longsword, unenchanted and never properly used. (More like a Morrowind style Ebony longsword.)
Miscellaneous Items: Carries on his horse in small trapped chests a relatively large sum of money as assigned by his Thalmor superiors for any purposes possibly needed. Apart from a few books, he is travelling light.
Personality: He is known to be ambitious, very calm and highly intelligent, a promising young Thalmor battlemage. He is however utterly meglomanical and egotistical, and lives life like a game, a game in which he is playing and aims to win in. He is without emotion, and does not understand love and kindness, even such feelings as hate and dislike seem otherworldly to Varlamo. He is not even passionate or holds feelings towards the Thalmor cause and anti Talos worship, although he may pretend he does, he merely plays along with the whole ordeal. He's basically pure calculated evil, the worst kind of person. (Quite funnily, my main inspiration for him came from the UK Prime Minister David Cameron, it has obviously advanced quite a lot further, but still lol).
Major Flaw: He is not without his flaws however. His main flaw can be attributed to his huge inexperience. He has never left the safety and very unusual world of the Summerset Isles. He is young for an Altmer, and has seen little of the world. He is very naive and his inexperience and world view that is based purely on biased Thalmor education can lead him to have certain misconceptions and make mistakes. He cannot stand losing or being wrong, havind not had much experience in such circumstances. He is a psychoanolyst's dream, he could be attributed to have many mental disorders, primarily psychopathy. His simple incomprehension of emotion can be a huge weakness as well as a strength. He may also be well taught in combat, but in practise can be nervous and panicky due to his inexperience. His bark is bigger than his bite when it comes to combat, but still should not be underestimated as he is certainly a force to be reckoned with. He does not rely upon his combat skills for survival, but his wit and plotting.
Background: Born and raised in Alinor, capital ofthe Summerset Isles under the 2nd Aldmeri Dominion into a rich and influential noble family, Varlamo was brought up with all of life's privaledges and given a sublime education. He spent all of his early life learning and advancing in his already planned place as a political player and powerful Thalmor official. Absolutely smothered in Thalmor, master-race and anti-man propoganda, and surrounded by the finest tutors and academics money could buy, Varlamo began to lose emotion from an early age, and began to focus purely on his studies. Once his long period of education was beginning to draw to a close around the age of 80, the Great War began between the Mede Empire and the 2nd Aldmeri Dominion and the Aicandil family was at the heart of Thalmor politics. Varlamo however, did not depart as a military leader and tactician as offered by his family, and decided to stay at home and advance his studies. By the end of the Great War, the Aicandil family had lost some of its influence, and Varlamo was now beginning to be pestered for his inactivity. Being offered the rank and station as a respectable Justiciar, he accepted happily, and was now beginning to plan his surprise visit to the young and vulnerable Nordic hold of Valton. However, he did not just have Heretic hunting in mind, planning to do something more impressive that would be noticed back in Alinor, advancing himself on a poltical level.

Height: Relatively tall for an Altmer even, so he'd tower over your average Nord.
Birthsign: The Tower (Varlamo has a very acute understand of The Tower, and its metaphysical meanings, which seeps into his personality.)
Appearance: http://i40.tinypic.com/6sx2tj.jpg
Class (What would you describe your character as?): Altmeri Battlemage, Thalmor Justiciar and Thalmor Politician.
Skills and known spells (if any):
Combat: He has been trained by varying tutors in the art of combat from a young age. Varlamo has been taught in several sword martial arts, and in varying magic schools both by tutors and at magical colleges. His magical style and spells are based upon the Altmeri magical doctrine. He specialises in the Destruction (primarily a fire mage) and Alteration schools and has little knowledge of the other schools.
Other: Varlamo has experienced a long and detailed education, bred and reared to be a perfect Thalmor politician and missionary. He has a vast knowledge, almost all of which comes from biased Thalmor Lessonates however, possessing very little actual experience. He is slimy, sly, intelligent, perceptive, far-seeing and tactically very sound of mind.
Clothing / armor: He adorns full Elven (minus the helmet), however the elven armour has Ebony plates, the black metal covered in ornate gold gilding. A very large muddied black fur outlined velvet cloak/cape drags behind him.
Weapons: A traditional Ebony longsword, unenchanted and never properly used. (More like a Morrowind style Ebony longsword.)
Miscellaneous Items: Carries on his horse in small trapped chests a relatively large sum of money as assigned by his Thalmor superiors for any purposes possibly needed. Apart from a few books, he is travelling light.
Personality: He is known to be ambitious, very calm and highly intelligent, a promising young Thalmor battlemage. He is however utterly meglomanical and egotistical, and lives life like a game, a game in which he is playing and aims to win in. He is without emotion, and does not understand love and kindness, even such feelings as hate and dislike seem otherworldly to Varlamo. He is not even passionate or holds feelings towards the Thalmor cause and anti Talos worship, although he may pretend he does, he merely plays along with the whole ordeal. He's basically pure calculated evil, the worst kind of person. (Quite funnily, my main inspiration for him came from the UK Prime Minister David Cameron, it has obviously advanced quite a lot further, but still lol).
Major Flaw: He is not without his flaws however. His main flaw can be attributed to his huge inexperience. He has never left the safety and very unusual world of the Summerset Isles. He is young for an Altmer, and has seen little of the world. He is very naive and his inexperience and world view that is based purely on biased Thalmor education can lead him to have certain misconceptions and make mistakes. He cannot stand losing or being wrong, havind not had much experience in such circumstances. He is a psychoanolyst's dream, he could be attributed to have many mental disorders, primarily psychopathy. His simple incomprehension of emotion can be a huge weakness as well as a strength. He may also be well taught in combat, but in practise can be nervous and panicky due to his inexperience. His bark is bigger than his bite when it comes to combat, but still should not be underestimated as he is certainly a force to be reckoned with. He does not rely upon his combat skills for survival, but his wit and plotting.
Background: Born and raised in Alinor, capital ofthe Summerset Isles under the 2nd Aldmeri Dominion into a rich and influential noble family, Varlamo was brought up with all of life's privaledges and given a sublime education. He spent all of his early life learning and advancing in his already planned place as a political player and powerful Thalmor official. Absolutely smothered in Thalmor, master-race and anti-man propoganda, and surrounded by the finest tutors and academics money could buy, Varlamo began to lose emotion from an early age, and began to focus purely on his studies. Once his long period of education was beginning to draw to a close around the age of 80, the Great War began between the Mede Empire and the 2nd Aldmeri Dominion and the Aicandil family was at the heart of Thalmor politics. Varlamo however, did not depart as a military leader and tactician as offered by his family, and decided to stay at home and advance his studies. By the end of the Great War, the Aicandil family had lost some of its influence, and Varlamo was now beginning to be pestered for his inactivity. Being offered the rank and station as a respectable Justiciar, he accepted happily, and was now beginning to plan his surprise visit to the young and vulnerable Nordic hold of Valton. However, he did not just have Heretic hunting in mind, planning to do something more impressive that would be noticed back in Alinor, advancing himself on a poltical level.

Sargon Hlaalu-(Dunmer)
Spoiler
Name: Sargon Hlaalu
Age: 226 yrs, Born near the End of the Third Era during the height of the Oblivion Crisis.
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Height: 6'2"
Birthsign: The Tower
Appearance: Sargon is an old Dunmer, although he has the face of a 35 yr old. With deep orange eyes and almost stark white hair, Sargon looks fairly noble, accented by the small, intricately patterned braids and knots in his hair and short beard. His features are sharp, almost hawk-like, sometimes seeming a tad intimidating. Sargon isn't just handsome though, his whole life has been about survival, honing his body into a well muscled, athletic frame.
Sargon's body is also his own personal canvas with which to paint his life upon, having Dunmer, Daedric, Nordic, Dwemer and even Orcish tattoos and ornaments covering his body. The upper portion of his back is dominated by Nordic runes and drawings, the lower half bearing Orcish tattooing, black swirls and sharp-edged ritual scars making it up. Sargon's most important tattoos are the ones most easily noticeable though, his fore-arms, covered in Daedric and Ancestral Dunmer runes and scars. The left half of his face also bears these runes. At last, his neck is wrapped in Dwemer runes, with the Daedric 'Beht' separating it in the middle.
Class (what would you describe your character as?): Partisan/Pirate/Assassin/Hunter
Skills and known spells (if any):
Medium Armor: Sargon has trained and fought in various suits of leather, chain, scale, and medium plate such as Bonemold.
Curved Blades: A common Dunmer sword is the scimitar, although katanas are just as popular. Sargon has used scimitars and katanas in combat since he began wielding them in the 7th year of the 4th Era.
Block: Sargon learned the art of using his ornate whale-bone crescent shield both for defense and offense.
Destruction Magic: As a Dunmer, Sargon was born with a natural affinity for magic, Destruction being the most obvious. He is no master, but has learned to dual-cast basic spells such as Flames and Lightning.
Pole-arm: Sargon's most unique combat skill is the use of a spear or staff in combat. He learned under the tutelage of an Ohmes-raht monk in Elsweyr.
Survival: Morrowind is a savage place, its strange beauty being just as abundant as the terrors and harshness that accompany much of the Province. Sargon learned from his Ashlander cousins (his grandfather was Sargon Zansatanit, of the Zainab), how to survive in the harsh environments. In the wake of the Red Mountain's eruption, these skills became invaluable.
Cooking: Damn good cook.
Brewing: Sargon's father was brought into Great House Hlaalu because of the great Matze and Sujamma he'd brew and sell, making him rather wealthy and almost forcing him to teach Sargon the tricks of the trade.
Revelry: Among these combative and basic skills, the ones most near and dear to Sargon were those his mother passed to him. A fine singing voice, and the playing of the Lute, Drum, and Flute.
Clothing: Sargon wears simple cloth pants and a long sleeved silk shirt. Over this, he wears a long, sleeveless, dark-blue hooded robe; embroidered with mithril thread on the lapels, hood, and skirting. His boots are Netch Leather, and he wears ornate bronze bracers crafted in Hammerfell.
Armor: (Worn only on special occasion and combat). Sargon has a suit of armor, somewhat of his own make. His briastplate is old Gah-Julan Bonemold, with the traditional embroidered Dunmer scarf and the Moon and Star burned into the chest-plate itself. His helm is Indoril, the plume cut down to small tufts of hair and the face-plate carved with Daedric letters spelling out blessings of Boethiah and Hircine, the right and left halves respectively. Sargon wears two leather http://www.theknightshop.co.uk/catalog/images/sr100989.jpg of Bosmer-make, worn on the biceps and partially raising over the shoulder, rather than covering over the shoulder itself, lending better flexibility in combat. His boots are the same as he wears always, Netch leather. The same goes for the ornate bronze bracers he wears.
Weapons:
-Sargon keeps his beloved katana, Dwemer made with ebony filigree praising Meridia inlaid on the blood-groove, locked in a chest along with his armor.
-He carries with him always a spear made of whale-bone, burnt-in Daedric letters adorning the top half of the spear; the spear-head itself broad with a moonstone edge.
-Sargon's shield is also a weapon of sorts, the crescent shape lending a sharp edge that can be used as a killing tool.
-A simple yew long bow and 32 arrows.
-The last weapon Sargon carries is an old ebony dagger, found in the aftermath of Vvardenfells' nearly complete destruction. It was gifted to him by Boethiah herself, each slain enemies' soul going to her realm through the dagger.
Miscellaneous items: A lute, flute, drum, wine-skin, bottle of sujamma, an old Amulet of Moon and Star, as well as two amethyst and malachite rings. He also has small idols of Azura, Meridia, Hircine, and Boethiah wrapped in cloth, kept in secret.
Personality: Sargon, to put it plainly, is a stoic old Dunmer. His eyes have seen countless wonders, and witnessed innumerable tragedies. However, even though he is a rock in the storm, always strong, always ready, Sargon has a human side. He is polite and kind to friend and neighbor, will never say a harsh word unless another does so first, and above all respects the gods and deeds done on Nirn.
Major flaw: Sargon has a dark and troubled past. He receives visions from Boethiah. Although Meridia is good, and Azura (his patron goddess) is better, Boethiah and Hircine are not. Hircine, Sargon has found, rarely troubles the mortal world, only once has he tried to rule and he was put to shame. Hircine's visions detail places of worship and other followers for Sargon to find... Boethiah is not so kind. Once, long ago in Sargon's life, she commanded and empowered him as her instrument. These visions Sargon receives are ultra-rare, even more so now in his later years, the last vision from his dark Goddess was 30 yrs ago. But should he have another, it must be fulfilled.
Background: Sargon 'Odairan' Hlaalu was born during the peak of the Oblivion Crisis, in the waning years of the Third Era. Born in the bustling town of Balmora, Sargon began working for his father at the age of 5, a job he didn't much care for at the time, but everything takes time to understand. His father, Reman, had bought a small building to turn into a brewery. It was a great success within just two short months, brewing a batch of matze and sujamma was easy work, and it was the best in Vvardenfell.
Soon enough, the Great House of Hlaalu found Reman's success, and they invited him into the House itself. Within just a few years, Sargon's family was living a great life in a fine manor, with all the niceties a Dunmer could desire. But it changed, at the age of 17, Sargon witnessed the greatest tragedy in the history of his people. While staying further north with his cousins in the Ashlands, Sargon felt the Ministry of Truth slam into the city of Vivec. Only seconds later, Red Mountain cloaked Morrowind in ash and debris.
Only a week before the destruction of Vvardenfell, Sargon's father gave him a great amount his wealth, his sword, and his briastplate. Sargon fled north, knowing the fate his father would suffer at the hands of the Morag Tong. With this wealth, his mother, two sisters, and 13 of the Zainab men and women, the refugees set of to the eastern coast of Vvardenfell, where they would live a new life. This life was to be one of piracy, but in the name of the Dunmer.
When the Argonians invaded Morrowind, Sargon and his crew harassed the Argonians mercilessly. Finally, though, after the death of his mother, a peaceful one, Sargon left behind his pirate's life. His sisters, Merena and Rayla, went north to Skyrim in hopes of joining the College of Winterhold. They all managed to slip past Argonians lines, and that was the last they saw of each other. Brother and sisters, but only for a while. Sargon took a separate path.
Sargon's life was spent as a wanderer, a warrior, a bard... an assassin, a mercenary. He learned great things from great people, and saw the world in all its beauty, as well as its ugliness. Now, he simply wishes to settle down, and the new Hold of Valton being built in Skyrim's southern reaches, seems just the place. Sargon heads there now, he leads a horse and carriage. Its cargo being of great wealth, as well as his most prized possessions. He'd like to continue his father's work, but he was sure these Nords would hate Sujamma or Matze.

Graymane-(Dunmer)
Spoiler
Name: Graymane (Eralian Anarys)
Age: 165 (45 by human standards)
Race: Dunmer
Gender: male
Height: 6'5''
Birthsign: The Lord
Appearance: A tall and muscular dunmer, in his late middle age but keeping in a very good shape. His skin is somewhat weathered from years of being outdoors, but his face don't bears much more marks of age.
Class (what would you describe your character as?): Sellsword - a Tamriel-born relative of Earth's condotierre, the sellsword is a sword for hire, specializing in hit-and-run tactics, on dirty tricks rather than brute force. But there' more to to the job than killing : leading mens, plotting tactics and strategy and most important keeping a firm eye on the bottom line....
Skills and known spells (if any): His forte are two-handed weapons, illusion and destruction magic as well as light armors. He's also reasonably skilled with sneaking around, restoration magic and acrobatics. From his years as a mercenary he's at least somewhat familiar with just about any weapon one might encounter.
Clothing / armor: a set of mithril mail armor, comfortable suede travel clothes - when socializing, dark red trousers, white silk shirt and dark red silk and gold brocade coat.
Weapons: dwemer greatsword and a glass dagger
Miscellaneous items:
Personality:Quite a cynic, Elarian is a mercenary through and thorough, mainly concerned with keeping his pockets full to finance his taste for grand living. But he maintains a tight grip on his temper, having seen too many idiots destroy themselves by overindulgence, laziness or blood-lust. He follows the mercenary's code (respect your contract, no pointless killing or destruction, an offence to your brothers in arms is an offence to you)
Major flaw: Elarian's has two main flaws – the first is greed, his expensive tastes requires a lot of money to sustain. A lesser problem is a propensity to show off – a well known mercenary gets better pay than a nobody.
Background: Born in a merchant family in what's left of Morrowind under dunmer control, Elarian soon felt the desire to escape the dull life of a provincial merchant, and embraced the way of the sword. Getting embroiled in various troubles with the local authorities, he left his home town to embrace a mercenary career that carried him all over Tamriel, fighting along and against about just any military force to be found there. The Great War was more boon than curse to him as the meatgrinder chewing the Legion meant plenty of people found in need of protection.
Somewhat tired of hte mercenary life he has decided to settle down, managing to save enough to buy a decent home in the new hold (and to finance some ameliorations – his new home uses a warm spring for heat and a nice indoor warm bath). He's currently seeling lessons in weapon handling, hoping to catch enouhg ot the Jarl's attention to become a thane with enough holdings to finance the sort of lifestyle he's aspiring to.

He responded by attacking the assassins’ sanctuary with a large group of Nordic mercenaries the assassins and him were engaged in battle for 3 weeks, his patience was fading and decided the only way he could insure his safety was to burn the entire sanctuary to the ground, the result of the spell was devastating, he was so weakened by it that his entire body collapsed It took eight months for him to awaken from the coma induced by it.
After he survived House Redoran allowed him to marry Zelvi Hlaalu (current age 290). In the years that followed he had two children, Aidan (currently age 10) and Krystal (age: 5.) as the years went by House Redoran get weakened and was nearly destroyed, they decided to try espionage over valor and sent in Xerces to try and either convince the Jarl to aid Redoran or there was always a full on attack, Xerces could try to work his way up politically to a house-Carl or hopefully could become the political advisor to the Jarl.
That’s where our story begins.

He responded by attacking the assassins’ sanctuary with a large group of Nordic mercenaries the assassins and him were engaged in battle for 3 weeks, his patience was fading and decided the only way he could insure his safety was to burn the entire sanctuary to the ground, the result of the spell was devastating, he was so weakened by it that his entire body collapsed It took eight months for him to awaken from the coma induced by it.
After he survived House Redoran allowed him to marry Zelvi Hlaalu (current age 290). In the years that followed he had two children, Aidan (currently age 10) and Krystal (age: 5.) as the years went by House Redoran get weakened and was nearly destroyed, they decided to try espionage over valor and sent in Xerces to try and either convince the Jarl to aid Redoran or there was always a full on attack, Xerces could try to work his way up politically to a house-Carl or hopefully could become the political advisor to the Jarl.
That’s where our story begins.

Skills/spells: He is not a big fan of magika but he does uses a minor healing spell once on a great while. And if he is in a tough situation he would use the voice of the emperor to get out of it.

However when need to he is quite serious and is a determined to serve the empire till his last breath. And he is also quite calm.
Flaws: Despite being an excellent diplomat he is quite stubborn an ignorant of former empire provinces. (though he does secretly respect the stormcloaks despite disagreeing with them) Also he has anger issues, A huge alcoholic, and has a deep hatred of the thalmor that could be a threat to his life.

Alguidar-(Nord)
Spoiler
Name: Alguidar
Age: 34
Race: Nord
Gender: Male
Height: 1.80 cm (~6' 0'' I think)
Birthsign: The Steed
Appearance: Sturdy, wide body. Short neck. Strong arms and back. Tends to sit in a bad posture, hunched over the table. His hair is light brown and pushed back to his shoulder line. His eyes are green and deep within the eye sockets giving him a mysterious and not very expressive look. He has a full, thick beard.
Class: Farmer
Skills and known spells (if any):
Alchemy - Working the land for a living, he has come to know most flora in Skyrim and many useful recipes to treat wounds, diseases and fortify stamina for the long hours of work.
Barter - Due to the low profit margin of his products, he got used to haggling for every last Septim.
Two-handed - Basic skills using an axe to defend himself. Farms, being outside city walls, are very exposed to bandits and wildlife, a woodcutter's axe is usually close by when city guards aren't.
Cooking - Not the best but he knows how to turn his farm's products into a delicious stew. He can do wonders with beef.
Clothing / armor: He's usually seen wearing common clothing that doesn't draw attention to himself. Usually in darker tones. He also has a full set of leather armor stored in his house that he never used.
Weapons: None.
Miscellaneous items: None.
Personality:
- Impatient, sometimes rash in his decisions. Will tend to take action quickly instead of pondering his decisions at length.
- Strong nationalist and supporter of the rebellion. Tolerates other races but feels more comfortable around other Nords.
- Hard worker. Doesn't make much eye contact. He usually keeps to himself, especially when he's focused on his job.
- He loves a good joke though and he's very loyal to those he considers he's friends. Can talk for hours if alcohol is involved.
Major flaw: Close minded. He looks down to magic, outsiders and laziness. He frowns on exterior signs of wealth.
Background: Born in a family of farmers near Windhelm. Life was rough and he helped around the farm for as long as he can remember. The farm was fairly successful for a while, supplying Windhelm and Winterhold with all sorts of products, most notably beef. The harsh climate up north has always hindered its yield though. Eventually, his brothers started leaving, seeking new jobs around Skyrim but his father was always too stubborn to leave the farm.
Alguidar thought they could still turn things around so he stayed behind helping. As the seasons passed though, they were slowly dragged into a life where they were just barely surviving. They just couldn't compete with the cheaper production from the south, where the climate was much more forgiving.
News of a new hold being built somewhere along the fertile shores of the Treva River, reached him at that point. It stroke him as a great opportunity to buy the best piece of land on the hold before others flocked in, and leave this dying farm for good. His father still refused to sell the farm though. Both argued violently for days until his father finally succumbed from old age and disease.
Alguidar knew exactly what to do then. In a mix of anger and hope, he sold the property in a hurry for as little as 2000 Septims and traveled south, looking for a new start in the Rift.

Age: 19
Race: Breton
Gender: Female
Height: 5’2”
Birthsign: The Shadow
Appearance: Jack inherited her Mother’s soft and curvy features, and her Father’s golden blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Her hair is somewhat short. She cuts it herself so it is uneven and messy. She doesn’t really care about how her hair looks as long as it doesn’t get in her way when she works.
Class (what would you describe your character as?): Mason/carpenter.
Skills and known spells (if any): Masonry, carpentry, farmwork, writing/reading and math. She has no magic talent and has never been educated in the arcane arts.
Clothing / armor: She wears a light grey sleeveless cotton shirt and light brown linen breeches that stop right below her knees. Around her neck she carries a small amulet in the shape of the Hawkford family insignia.
Weapons: I guess all her tools can count as weapons if she finds the need to protect herself.

Along with her brothers and sisters she was taught from a very young age how to read, write and do math.

Glass Argonian
Itan-Ru -(Argonian)
Spoiler
Name: Itan-Ru
Age: 23
Race: Argonian
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0
Birthsign: The Serpent
Appearance: Dark blue scales, with Light Blue spots and stripes. He Has Acid Green eyes, and a row of short spikes in a mohawk pattern on top of his head.
He is very thin, and though he has some muscle, is by no definition very strong.
Class: Magician, Alchemist, Priest.
Skills and known spells:
Alteration (Novice Level: Oakflesh, Candlelight, Magelight)
Destruction (Journeyman Level: Fireball, Fire Rune, flames)
Restoration (Apprentice: Healing Hands, Lesser Ward, Turn Undead, Healing)
Conjuration (Novice Level: Summon Familiar)
Alchemy (Expert Level) only knows potions, not poisons
Clothing / armor: Wears a simple blue robe (without a hood)most of the time, with plain pants and shirt underneath.
Weapons: Carries a small Steel Dagger, though he mostly uses it for gathering samples instead of fighting
Miscellaneous items: carries several basic potions with him, as well as a mortar and pestle and a small puch of gold. often carries sweet foods for snacks, as they are his favorite
Personality: Itan-Ru is a somewhat nervous individual, though he is very friendly. He is rarely purposefully rude or impolite. He is easily frazzled or distracted, due to his nervous nature, and this isnt helped by his affinity for sugar-rich foods
Though his high levels of energy let him accomplish tasks rather quickly. He is a bit uncomfortable around new people, but will warm to them eventually. The only time when he seems calm is when casting Magic or mixing potions
Major flaw: His nervous, twitchy energy, while allowing him to quickly power through most tasks, also has its drawbacks.
He's found that he can only achieve regular sleep with the aid of a potion his former caretakers created out of local flowers an roots.
Without this potion, within a week his temper goes foul, and he cannot focus enough to reliably cast even simple spells.
Background: Born in Riften, Itan-Ru spent his ealry years on the streets, trying to scraqe by.
He lacked the talent to steal or pickpocket, but was always fascinated by flowers and their properties.
The local priesthood noticed him one day attempting to make a potion out of some flowers and river water,
and out of amusemant and pity decided to take him under their wing.
over the next few years, he learned much about alchemy and surprisingly a good deal about magic from his teachers, Which, considering the argonian's unusal energy, was quite the chore. When the chance to have his own start in a new hold came up, his teachers forced him accept, insisting that the argonian had learned all that he could teach, and that the rest he would have to learn on his own. And so he moved to Valton to join the priesthood there so he could help a new town.

He is very thin, and though he has some muscle, is by no definition very strong.
Class: Magician, Alchemist, Priest.
Skills and known spells:
Alteration (Novice Level: Oakflesh, Candlelight, Magelight)
Destruction (Journeyman Level: Fireball, Fire Rune, flames)
Restoration (Apprentice: Healing Hands, Lesser Ward, Turn Undead, Healing)
Conjuration (Novice Level: Summon Familiar)
Alchemy (Expert Level) only knows potions, not poisons
Clothing / armor: Wears a simple blue robe (without a hood)most of the time, with plain pants and shirt underneath.
Weapons: Carries a small Steel Dagger, though he mostly uses it for gathering samples instead of fighting
Miscellaneous items: carries several basic potions with him, as well as a mortar and pestle and a small puch of gold. often carries sweet foods for snacks, as they are his favorite
Personality: Itan-Ru is a somewhat nervous individual, though he is very friendly. He is rarely purposefully rude or impolite. He is easily frazzled or distracted, due to his nervous nature, and this isnt helped by his affinity for sugar-rich foods
Though his high levels of energy let him accomplish tasks rather quickly. He is a bit uncomfortable around new people, but will warm to them eventually. The only time when he seems calm is when casting Magic or mixing potions
Major flaw: His nervous, twitchy energy, while allowing him to quickly power through most tasks, also has its drawbacks.
He's found that he can only achieve regular sleep with the aid of a potion his former caretakers created out of local flowers an roots.
Without this potion, within a week his temper goes foul, and he cannot focus enough to reliably cast even simple spells.
Background: Born in Riften, Itan-Ru spent his ealry years on the streets, trying to scraqe by.
He lacked the talent to steal or pickpocket, but was always fascinated by flowers and their properties.
The local priesthood noticed him one day attempting to make a potion out of some flowers and river water,
and out of amusemant and pity decided to take him under their wing.
over the next few years, he learned much about alchemy and surprisingly a good deal about magic from his teachers, Which, considering the argonian's unusal energy, was quite the chore. When the chance to have his own start in a new hold came up, his teachers forced him accept, insisting that the argonian had learned all that he could teach, and that the rest he would have to learn on his own. And so he moved to Valton to join the priesthood there so he could help a new town.

Appearance: Tall, like most Nords. Brown hair, blue eyes, muscular build.
Class: Monk
Skills and known spells (if any): A formidable fighter in unarmed combat. Also has some training in the way of the bow and sword. Prefers the fists over other weaponry. Also he shows a basic understanding of alchemy. Knows a basic healing spell, and also knows the spells from his birthsign. Blessed Word, Lesser Power, Turn Undead, as many times as you can afford to cast it. Mara’s Gift, Greater Power, Extreme Healing, Once per day.
In-Game Description: Those born under the Ritual use the Mara's Gift power once a day as a powerful Restore Health spell. The Blessed Word can turn the undead.
Clothing / Armor: Simple brown monk robes, something like this: http://img.costumecr...stume-large.jpg (though he doesn’t have his hood on as often as off)

Personality: Humble, kind, and a strong pacifist, like the Greybeards. Prefers not to resort to violence, though if it is absolutely necessary, he can. A believer in fair and equal justice.

Jormaw-(Argonian)
Spoiler
Name: Jormaw
Age: 24
Race: http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=argonian&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CEYQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uesp.net%2Fwiki%2FLore%3AArgonian&ei=C0taT-GjBsni8AOltZDjDg&usg=AFQjCNEvIxH4aZk47-lghQP3pm6sIW50OA
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1"
Birthsign: The Atronach
Appearence:
Slightly mesomorphic in build, has a long gator-like snout, ridged scales going from the tip of the nose
to the end of his thick and long tail, the base of his short stubby legs are given expanded feet for keeping balance in mud,
his claws are webbed- showing an amphibious ancestry. He holds himself in a hunched position at most times to appear smaller.
Colour wise his scaled skin is covered in a dark murky texture of brown, the underside of his neck, stomach and tail are of
a lighter almost bleached shade with his upper ridged scales being a tinge of dark grey and what could be described as moss green.
His slit eyes are covered in a light coat of black, which aid Jormaw in finding prey in the watery abyss, wherever they may be lurking.
Occasionally he will apply a mixture of bird dung and specific tree sap to his face to form a temporary, plain white, ritualistic tattoo.
Class: Fisherman | Former Mercenary
Skills:
He has expertise in most hand-to-hand techniques and is moderately proficient in the use of the blade.
Both were practiced in his time among the Ukoa-Sieen and of course his former occupation as a mercenary to wealthy nobles.
His only magically imbuned skills are in that of alteration and mysticism, (Detect Life, Spell Absorption, Feather & Slowfall). Learned grudgingly from a whet-fang hermit whom's lair
had been discovered by Jormaw in his hatchling days of wandering the darkness of Lilmoth's surroundings, looking for food and shelter.
The vampire offered the training in exchange for his lair not being revealed to the general populace, which Jormaw surprisingly agreed on.
He can also be said to be skilled in cooking and preparing seafood or even forming basic herbal mixes to cure ailments.
Clothing:
He'll casually appear to wear a garb of durzog leather: including a ripped kama with two rootworm grubs hanging off each side-
both of which are next to the large tail. Two bands hang just beneath his knee and elbowcaps that are of woven bandage make.
Underneath those bands are fur shorts and a wrinkled tunic of the aforementioned durzog leather; conjoined with this is a set of
cloth made shoulderpads made in vertical layers of flapped material. Sometimes he will wear a scarf of an albino netch's leather
for the cold climate as well. One sling satchel is carried so that he can luggage any of his coin or needed materials around.
The argonian appreciates the addition of beaded or feathered embroidery to the depths of his apparel.
When fishing or in the water he will strip down to be only wearing his kama, fur shorts and his bands.
Weapons:
The young lizard prefers to keep his poison dipped claws as his weapons, but when needed he'll draw his self crafted dagger; shaped
from the tooth of a sea-drake and hilted with a single exposed root's stub. He may also wield his bloodied carving knife into combat.
Miscellaneous items: a carving knife, some insect bait, a satchel full of medical supplies and materials, a tool belt.
Personality:
Jormaw is a comfortable individual to get along with, if a little paranoid and alien-minded at times.
For his age he has decent amount of life experience, making him a perceptive person to be around. He can definitely be stubborn
in his views but wields a sharp, protective attitude to those whom he trusts. His greed can get in the way of goals, as well as his
quick-wit and boggled temperament do in getting in the way of the 'land-striders' at the most conveniently helpful of moments.
Major flaw: is reclusive about his nature and secretive about his past. A good liar when it comes down to it.
He isn't very appreciative of any sort of authority figure and will seek to undermine them if a chance crops up.
History: Jormaw is not the usual archein of Black Marsh. He lived as an outcast in the swamps near Lilmoth for
much of his life, cast out of his tribe, Ukoa-Sieen, for consorting with the dark folk of the north. From here his life
changed inevitably once he found a well paying job as a mercernary to a representative of an ann-xileel patron.
Such a career gave him brief moments of renown for his bravery in bringing Black-Marsh back into the isolationistic comfort of the Hist,
even if he did not know about this himself. Such work even brought him to many different provinces, where he learned the common tongue of Tamriel.
In these provinces he befriended new peoples and learned their ways. In time, he found a comfort he had not felt since his days among the Ukoa-Sieen.
But war changes any man's heart to soil in time, so did this happen to Jormaw. An event which occured when he was about to take
the head off a lone redguard smith, as he was payed to do. However, a little girl of maybe nine or ten stopped in him in his path,
whom fighted at his bare stomach and begged him not to kill her father. A flash of memory came to him, or you could say a realization..
The child reminded him of himself when he was her age. Prideful, headstrong, commanding. He remembered back to a day when he lost a spear head.
He begged the Ukoa-Sieen's mystic to help him locate it, as it was the only thing that he had left of his now dead father.
The mystic smiled, gave the stalwart young man a wink then passed him a riddle to be pondered on: "the spear is headless; but is it rusted or lost?"
He dropped his blade. Walked on untill he was tired, then he rested, got up and walked again. Soon he was in new lands, now a traveller perhaps?
Jormaw would not know or care. He had problems of his past to set his mind on. His destination was unknowable. He wanted time to think and rest.

Roland-(Imperial/Nord)
Spoiler
Name:Roland
Age: 32
Race:Imperial/Nord
Gender:Male
Height:5’10”
Birthsign: The Lord
Appearance:http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab216/asapp152/RolandFace.jpg is a gruff man. His body is lean and in good physical condition. His scruffy dark brown hair falls down almost to his shoulders. His eyes are a deep hazel green and look as though they belong to a man much older than he. His face is rough and unshaven leaving dark brown stubble across his strong jaw and thin cheeks. His face is slender but not gaunt.
Class: Ranger
Skills and known spells:
Archery- Roland is extremely talented in archery and more than at home with a bow and arrow in his hands.
Blade- Roland is also extremely proficient in the arts of the sword. He prefers a hand-and-half sword.
Alchemy- Roland has a strong grasp of alchemy. Not in the same way a mage would. Roland instead focuses on creating poultices and herbal remedies from things found in the outdoors.
Riding- Roland is a good rider and knows how to sit a horse well.
Tracking- Roland is a master tracker, of both game and other quarry.
Survival- From many years of training and being in the wilderness Roland has figured out how to survive on even the most minimal of resources.
Ranging- Roland possesses all skills that most associate with rangers, from climbing to cooking to basic first aid, if it is required for ranging he knows how to do it.
Clothing / armor: Roland wears a beige linen shirt under a worn leather jerkin. Over the Jerkin he wears wool tabard trimmed in leather, and on top of that he wears a worn leather vest and mantle for extra protection. He also wears light wool trousers and high leather boots. Around his shoulders he wears a travel-worn brown cloak clasped together by a bronze brooch. (http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/Human/Gondor/Ranger/Ranger_A_8354_GLeaf.jpg)
Weapons:Roland carries a steel http://www.the-mathom-house.com/images/strider_scabbard-H.jpg as well as a http://images.wikia.com/deadliestfiction/images/5/5b/English_longbow3.jpg composed of hickory and lemonwood. To accompany his bow Roland carries at least 20-25 steel tipped arrows with him at all times. Roland also carries a steel hunting knife on the back of his belt. It is more of a tool than a weapon, but can be used to as one if need be.
Miscellaneous items: Roland carries a thin bedroll, a small hatchet, a few small wooden alchemical tools such as a mortar and pestle, a few first aid ointments and bandages, flint and tinder, and various other small items used for ranging or camping.
Personality: Roland is a kind person at heart, but he has seen much in his life and it has made him a different man. He's a friendly man most of the time, if not a bit rough. He tends to keep to himself, but once he's acquainted with someone and gets to know them he tends to be a bit more extrovertive.
Major flaw: Roland has seen some pretty gruesome things in the past few years, and it has left a large imprint on his mind. He sometimes relapses into periods of extreme abrasiveness and becomes extremely touchy when matters of his past are brought up.
Background:(Not going to give too much away here, most of his character development will be through revealing his past) Roland was born to an Imperial father and a Nordic mother in the town of Bruma. He joined the Bruma guard like his father at the age of 16 and from there went on to join the Imperial Legion’s 6th Forester Division. The 6th division was transferred from Cyrodiil to Skyrim soon after his enlistment. Roland spent close to 13 years in the 6th division. During the Civil war of 4E204 his Uncles and the rest of his mother's family declared allegiance to Ulfric Stormcloak. Much to Roland's dismay the 6th Forester division, acting as outriders and scouts for the 4th Legion, was dispatched on campaign against the Stormcloak rebellion. During their campaign the 6th Forester Division engaged in a large skirmish with Stormcloak forces around a village on the White River. The village was home to his mother's family. The 6th Division won the skirmish with aid from a 4th Legion regiment. However Roland deserted shortly afterward and has been running from the legion ever since. Some claim he runs on chargers of treason, deserting, and murder.

He tends to keep to himself, but once he's acquainted with someone and gets to know them he tends to be a bit more extrovertive.
Major flaw: Roland has seen some pretty gruesome things in the past few years, and it has left a large imprint on his mind. He sometimes relapses into periods of extreme abrasiveness and becomes extremely touchy when matters of his past are brought up.
Background:(Not going to give too much away here, most of his character development will be through revealing his past) Roland was born to an Imperial father and a Nordic mother in the town of Bruma. He joined the Bruma guard like his father at the age of 16 and from there went on to join the Imperial Legion’s 6th Forester Division. The 6th division was transferred from Cyrodiil to Skyrim soon after his enlistment. Roland spent close to 13 years in the 6th division. During the Civil war of 4E204 his Uncles and the rest of his mother's family declared allegiance to Ulfric Stormcloak. Much to Roland's dismay the 6th Forester division, acting as outriders and scouts for the 4th Legion, was dispatched on campaign against the Stormcloak rebellion. During their campaign the 6th Forester Division engaged in a large skirmish with Stormcloak forces around a village on the White River. The village was home to his mother's family. The 6th Division won the skirmish with aid from a 4th Legion regiment. However Roland deserted shortly afterward and has been running from the legion ever since. Some claim he runs on chargers of treason, deserting, and murder.
Person from Anticlere
Leandra-(Imperial)
Spoiler
Name: Leandra Flavia Lavidia
Age: 26
Race: Imperial (Nibenese)
Gender: Female
Birthsign: The Atronach
Appearance: So long as she maintains a safe distance from her (certainly bizarre) equipment, Leandra looks like a fairly ordinary young woman of her age. Her lithe build belies a wiry strength that is well complemented by the swiftness evident in her step – light, bouncy, yet also firm and sure. Quite tanned skin and swirly patterns tattooed in light blue over her left arm, reaching up her neck and touching upon her face slightly, betray her Nibenese heritage – said tattoo being the only thing that might strike a non-Nibenese as inherently strange about her.
Her face is generally rather gaunt, having notable, rather pronounced cheekbones that, accompanied by her just slightly snub nose, give her a slightly ‘soft’ look. A slight glint to her deep blue eyes sitting beneath thin, slightly arced black eyebrows, suggests that she’s more experienced than her age might suggests, and her thin lips are usually curled in a smirk that speaks of no lack of confidence in the young Imperial. Her pitch black hair is usually the deciding factor in the first impressions people get about Leandra; when it is tied into a ponytail, which is most often when she’s ‘on business’ (or when the fancy simply strikes her), her looks lean towards someone who might be half-seriously considered an actual mercenary. When it’s left loose, however, she seems almost comical, a soft-looking girl dressed in the strangest things imaginable.
Height: 5’7
Class: Mercenary. Daedra Hunter extraordinaire. Traveling weirdo.
Skills and known spells (if any): A good shot with her crossbow, capable in a fistfight (so long as she’s not expected to stand still and take any blows herself) and handy with her dagger, Leandra also has the advantage of an education, being able to write and read several languages, having some rudimentary familiarity with the theory of magic (that is not to say she can cast any spells herself; she can merely tell what school of magic she’s being blasted with) and quite the repository of knowledge regarding various things Daedra.
Clothing / Armor: To call Leandra’s choice of clothing weird would be an understatement. A blouse of padded cloth and the steel briastplate worn over it are not so unusual for a woman of action as she (says she) is; neither are the slightly baggy brown pants or almost knee-high tough leather boots, with a plate of steel on the front and further steel reinforcement for the toes. The fingerless leather glove with a slim green gemstone in it and Daedric etchings that glow slightly – making its strength-augmenting enchantment plain to the skilled eye – might be considered rather off.
All that most often goes unnoticed, however, in favour of the fact her right arm seems quite a bit larger than her left. The long dark brown woollen trench-coat that she’s taken to wearing since beginning her journeys in Skyrim doesn’t help much, by virtue of the fact its right sleeve is slightly lighter than the rest of the fabric, as well as much wider to accommodate for what seems like a misshapen lump for an arm – but what is actually, as becomes apparent when Leandra removes the coat, a mess of Dwemer metal that will seem senseless and chaotic to all but the most knowledgeable in the field.
Starting with a gauntlet that seems slightly too large for her hand, it trails off into pistons and metal connections to her arm that look like they must feel quite painful to the wearer. That Leandra can move her arm easily beneath what seems to be a Dwemer Centurion’s limb torn off and slapped on top of her own is a true feat of Dwemer engineering; that she has a small, slightly steaming tube protruding out of the greatest lump on her shoulder that’s made by a somewhat clunky pauldron is a source of infinite wonder and suspicion to everyone she comes into contact with. Add to that a set of thick goggles that are rather too large for her, also clearly of Dwemer make and with quite a few small levers and witches on them, and it becomes little wonder Leandra is always received by strangers as a walking oddity at best.
Weapons: Her primary and most notable weapon is a http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/FNW/50NH/G1QWB4FI/FNW50NHG1QWB4FI.MEDIUM.jpg of http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/FET/2PYJ/G1QWB4FL/FET2PYJG1QWB4FL.MEDIUM.jpg (rather less shiny and more rusted and worn in person than the pictures depict), which she affectionately calls Veronica. Strapped to her hip is also a slightly curved steel knife with a silvered edge – ‘just in case’.
Miscellaneous items: A small silver locket on a chain of the same material, inside which is a painting of the White Gold Tower and the surrounding Nibenese countryside, and a Dwemer-looking key, tied to simple string. Both hang from her neck.
Personality: Leandra is an odd one, fluctuating between a rather extroverted state and a love for solitude quite a bit and often without warning. While she does enjoy company often, she just as quickly grows tired of it. A curiosity that once knew no bounds (particularly where Dwemer are concerned) is counteracted by a wary, almost fearful shade acquired through several years of intense dealings with Daedra and all the various horrors associated, which is why she most often avoids talking about her occupation, never outright shooting down anyone who might have some notions about the romantic side of being a wandering fighter, but rarely if ever speaking of it fondly; sometimes, it might seem she actually hates her profession. About the only part of her that is constant is the attachment – almost love, one might say – she formed towards her crossbow.
Major flaw: The Dwemer contraptions that cover the entirety of her right arm might make her capable of firing Veronica, her odd crossbow, but even Dwemer technology is not above acting up at the worst possible time – and when this particular device does, it tends to bend her arm involuntarily in whatever directions it sees fit, going as far as breaking it once or twice.
And that’s before Leandra’s chased out of town or openly ridiculed for looking like she raided a Dwemer Centurion’s wardrobe.
Background: Born into a house of minor nobility in the Imperial Heartland, not too far from the Imperial City itself, Leandra is reluctant to talk of what she did in the past, much rather deflecting to question other people about theirs. If pressed, she will most gladly about her education in the Synod – making mention of the fact she never possessed the aptitude for the arcane necessary for actual membership – and the past eight or seven years she spent travelling through northern Cyrodiil and southern Skyrim, which suggests she’s been a ‘Daedra hunter’ (as she describes her occupation) since the early age of 18 – quite a young age, especially for facing certainly far worse things than the horrible beds and food Leandra jokingly mentions recalling from her travels.

Still, I think it's a bad precedent in this kind of RP.
