Name: Veyar Nydelvu
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Apparent Age: 42
Actual Age: 122
Class: Captain of the Buoyant Armigers
Class Focus: The Buoyant Armigers of Vivec are the elite warriors of Morrowind, second only to the Hands of Almalexia. Although not granted any powers from Vivec, his Buoyant Armigers take a firm stand on their beliefs and train relentlessly in the ashlands. It was the Armigers who kept the forces of Dagoth Ur at bay for as long as was possible until the Neraverine had to come to defeat Morrowind's devil once and for all.
Trained in the arts of the sword, the bow, survival and the use and repair of both armor and an assortment of secondary weapons, the Buoyant Armigers use supportive magick spells to supplement their already exceptional physical prowess.
Major Skills: Blade, Medium Armor, Marksman, Athletics, Speechcraft
Minor Skills: Beast Riding, Destruction, Blunt Weapon, Block, Survival
Apparel Worn Most Often: Most often Veyar wears a set of bonemold armor specially crafted for Ordinators and Buoyant Armigers (though many Armigers prefer lighter armor such as Chitin or Glass). A ceremonial sash arcs across one shoulder, and the armor itself is painted with ceremonial designs of praise to Vivec
Apparel worn least often: Less often than his armor, or in situations where a set of armor would not be appropriate, Veyar has some nondescript, very average clothes of Dunmer design
Weapons: Veyar carries a small armament of weapons. Across his back lay a bonemold bow and a quiver of arrows. At his left side, his ebony katanas rest in scabbards, while a silver tanto is tucked into his belt sash along the waist. A small pouch of Dunmer throwing stars is hidden behind his chest sash, and a silver wakazashi is strapped horizontally across his lower back.
Spells: Aside from his armament of physical weapons, Veyar is trained in the casting of frost and thunder magick as well as supportive shielding and self-enhancing magicks, though he is not as powerful in these schools as one who has trained as a mage for their entire lives
Physical Appearance: ]Veyar's face is slightly worn with age, but with chiseled features and relaying an underlying strength in the man. The hardships of the Armiger training create a strength of will that often shows through one's features. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/HK-50/Veyar2.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/HK-50/Veyar1.jpg
Unique Appearance: A small scar runs vertically two inches down from Veyar's left ear. The left ear itself is half-gone, having been sliced off years before by a blade during a sparring session. Across the right side of his face, near the eye, Veyar has a series of small, intricate blue tatooes marking his position as the captain of the Buoyant Armigers. Small arcing scars crisscross Veyar's chest now, reflections of hard lightning strikes.
Mental Description: Considering himself to carry the moral high ground, Veyar follows the code of honor held by the Buoyant Armigers, and is a devout follower of the man-god and warrior poet, Vivec, even after rumors that Vivec lost his power began floating through Morrowind. Noble, strong and generous, Veyar is known for his kindness and sympathy to those in danger or in dire need.
Short Bio: Born in Seyda Neen, Morrowind, Veyar was the son of a prosttute. His father; an Ordinator of Vivec City's Temple Canton. Far be it for a holy Ordinator to be known as having slept with a prosttute, Veyar's mother was found dead mere days after his birth, and his father took him to Molag Mar, claiming that he was an orphan. Molag Mar became Veyar's home as he trained from early childhood to be a Buoyant Armiger under the tutelage of Ra'Zikahn, a master bladeswoman from Elsweyr, who was also Veyar's adoptive mother.
Raised among a society of cultural prejudice, Veyar studied the Thirty-Six Sermons of Vivec deeply, learning messages hidden between the words. His Khajiiti adoptive mother taught him the err of racial prejudice, and Veyar grew to be known as a fair and just Armiger, skilled in the arts of combat. It was not long before he was appointed by Vivec personally as the Captain of the Buoyant Armigers at the unthinkable age of 71, the youngest ever to hold the title. As the Oblivion Crisis began, Veyar fought against the Daedra alongside Telvanni mageheads, Hlaalu warriors and the remains of the Redoran Honor Guard against the Oblivion Gates that began popping up across Vvardenfel. It was thus with some measure of dissappointment when Vivec commanded Veyar to travel to the homeland of the Imperial Dragon, Cyrodiil, to safeguard the life of the Empire's newest ruler.
Among the Blades, Veyar fought against the Daedra during the Oblivion Crisis. The Third Era ended, and the Fourth Era began when the dragonfires were relit and the Empire was left without an heir. Upon his return to Morrowind, Veyar returned to his post as Captain of the Buoyant Armigers. Though over the next few decades the Armigers no longer fought the corprus beasts of Dagoth Ur, for the Neraverine had defeated the demon once and for all. For thirty years, Veyar fought and protected Morrowind's borders against smugglers, slavers and bandits alike. Monsterous beasts, vampires and werewolves came and went, all perishing at the blades of the Buoyant Armigers.
