My current character.

Kaitraickh Sendbarisfrasia Lie (Savage Moon Who Bites The World And Fires Lazors)

A female orc berserker who uses 2 handed weapons and is into conjoring.
She came from a aincient relaxed settlement in Orcineum, who did what they liked and had a lot of artists, singers and mages. A place for all kinds of orcs to live.
Not popular with some settlements.
Unfortunately they lacked the tight security of the more traditional settlements.
So got attacked a lot.
So they had to beef up security at the expense of a experiment that was a colaboration with the bards and mages to create a sonic magic weapon.
The experiment continues, but at a slower pace.
Kaitraickh was in favour of tighter security, but lower in rank so the elder concil did not listen enough.
After being attacked by a particularly vicious tribe, they started listening to the more militeristic orcs and she got promoted.
But a bit too late for the battered outer wall.
Oh well.
The walls and fortifications were then modified by magic and the prototype sonic magic made by the bards and mages.


Once she was sure that the settlement was secure, she left to persue adventures.

Went exploring in cyrodil, Elwyr, Black Marsh for a while.
Heard about Skyrim. It sounded cold so it went to the bottom of the to do list.

She was on the way to black marsh when she encountered a epic battle between some annoying cyrodilian mages, some black marsh mages and bards, and some deadra summoning wizards and their mercenaries.
The compbination of magic affected the modified dwemer machine they were fighting over and a massive explosion blew and teleported her and her female orc spellsword friend, Esi(Chains) and the rest of thier group in diferent directions.
She hopes Esi is ok.
She got blown and teleported to just within the border of skyrim.
Dazed she awoke tos ee some idiotic stormcloaks fighting with the imperials.
Too wobbley to run off back to cyrodil she tried to drag herself to a hidng place till she recovered. She hid.
Then a damn stormcloak stumbled into her hidng place bellowing some incomprehensible stuff from being concussed and hynotized partially, and blew her cover.
She got caught, and ended up on a prisoner cart.
Stupid stormcloaks and stupid jobsworth imperials.

long story that isstill being composed at times, but as a short version:

as a child black-birds-cry lived happily in his small village in black marsh untill the village, along with his family, was razed to the ground by "imperial soldiers" while he fled into cyrodill. he met up with soem bandits and he impressed them so they decided to let him into their group. when he reached his late teens he went off on his own to terroize imperials for what they had done to him so many years ago. after he killed a carvan of soldiers delievering tax money he was visited by the dark brotherhood and they asked him to join, he joined without a second thought, he hoped he would get his chance to cripple the empire with the brotherhood (which actually plays out perfectly in skyrim). after only a year he started to feel unrest at the way the brotherhood acts about sithis (lore fact: sithis is part of the arognian religion in some way) and, like his new mentor and friend, cicero, he decided to leave because of it. after less than a week he had already started back to his old life of banditry and eh had even gotten another group together. after a good year of pillaging and banditry, they went north to assist the stormcloaks, but before they actually got their they were caught by a noble's guard (a "noble" that resides in whiterun hired mercs to get the bounty on the group's head, now he advises the jarl and visits the cloud district often) and, because of him, everyone but black-birds-cry was killed (as a former assassin black-birds-cry knows how to escape). after escaping south he swore revenge and decided to hide out on the border for awhile. the rest is in skyrim

***the parts in parentheses are things that would be fully explained in the full version or are a little tidbit that would not have been explained at all other-wise

race: argonian
tribe: naga
personality: friendly and kind but forceful when the need arises
class: trickster

his purpose is to get revenge and cripple empire (both of which iv already done)

**this is the character i always describe in threads like this

Gareth Ravencroft is a Breton who grew up on the outskirts of the Imperial city. His parents were both schollers of Alyied ruins. His father also had odds and ends of Dwemer artifacts which Gareth found facinating. At a young age Gareth's parents were killed when part of the ruin they were in collapsed. He lived with his gandparents on a farm.

Gareth prized some of the artifacts that his father had given him and studied them, got all the information on Dwemer culture that he could find. His Grandmother started teaching him Herblore at a young age and when they found out that he had the talent restoration magic. He also got lessons in conjuration and distruction from the local wizard, but only at the most basic level.

He lived with his grandparents taking care of them, like they took care of him, til the day the died. He then sold the farm to pay for passage to the only place he knew of that he could get the kind of training in mage craft that he wanted. The college in Winterhold.

Along the way the caravan that he was with was attacked and though he and a couple others managed to get away, they were all captured in an ambush and the rest is unfolding.
