-IC (In character)-
Name: Gannate (No last name)
Age: 40
Race: Dunmer
Appearance: Wears tattered robes, average height, a more athletic build.
Personality: a means justify the ends kind of mer. Capable of compassion but it's a rare thing.
Abilities (Magic and Skills): Basic bone manipulation through the more frowned upon school of necromancy (I.E. extending and producing protrusions to work as a form of armor) as well as hand to hand combat.
Backstory (Please write a minimum of 1 paragraph. Quality over quantity.):
Gannate worked much of his early life. As a ******* child to a prostitute, he mainly worked in the brothel his mother did, except his service was maintenance and cleaning. A miserable life was this, but he had to survive. He never learned how to read or write there, only to shut up, follow as commanded and maybe "escort" some older clients. Hatred festered, but he kept his mouth quiet for his own sake. The owner repeatedly reminded him, his mother, and all the others who "worked" there that they were his property.
Around the time Gannate reached the age of 17, an interestingly dressed Dunmer kept frequenting the place, and eventually struck up conversation. He turned out to be a member of House Telvanni of Morrowind. He offered Gannate an escape from this place, seeing the fire in his eye, and without hesitation, Gannate had a new owner.
Life improved for the most part. Gannate was treated like a real man, with dignity. He remained very loyal to this mage for their time together, out of both habit and actual gratitude. The mage had him do all the menial labor, mainly digging ditches and burying bodies. For his new master was a necromancer, and he experimented almost daily. His work consumed most of his life, and was now made easier with Gannate's help. He showed Gannate how he orchestrated his seduction from travelers passing by, offering warm bed and food from a long day's journey. In the night, they'd take their life silently and in a clean manner, to later perform magical trials on the body, not just simple reanimation.
As well, the Mage taught Gannate simple self manipulation through the twisted arts of Necromancy. His bones would extend, forming plate-like armor over him. As well, his preferred fighting style of hand to hand improved with the addition of bone gauntlets. This wasn't just to repay his servant for aiding him. It was for the inevitable, when all the missing people would eventually be traced back to him.
Agents of House Hlaalu have been trying to track him down and expose the worst of Telvanni, in attempts to disrupt their seat of power on Vvardenfell. These three agents have tracked him down all the way to the Gold Coast, and presented their warrant to take in the Mage. He of course, began to put up a fight and killed one instantly. As the two remaining agents appeared to be subduing him, Gannate formed the most full body bone armor set he could and feigned death among the failed experiments. Just as he had hoped, the Agents after their look around passed him by with nothing more than a glance.
Hours after, He had nothing but the clothes on his back, new knowledge and no one holding him back anymore. He set off towards Anvil by chance.
Character's skills: (2-3 sentences) Aaron is more formally a business man. His skill either relies in his ability to persuade, and if not bribe. But with starting his own adventuring business, he had to start from the group up and also do menial work. From this he gains basic carpentry, sailing and combat.
Character's faults: (2-3 sentences) Aaron cannot cook to appease a peasant. His food might be able to be stomached perhaps, but people would pay him to starve instead. Many can view determination and tenacity as a strength, but it gets him into trouble and generally costs lives of his men or dire wounds to himself. Very naive to the nature of humans as well as he trusts everyone.
Background: (1-2 paragraphs)
Aaron Steele was born to the wealthy Steele family. Their business, ironically enough, was a steel manufacturing facility in which they removed impurities from their metals, and then owning their own distribution branch, they were able to sell to smiths and construction crews all around. He was groomed to be a business man in his early life, ready to take on the family's business. But after word of the first expedition failing, he had a change of heart.
Once his parents finally croaked and he inherited everything, he used his newfound wealth to fund his own adventuring company, giving secondary control to one of his business partners to run Steele's Steel while he was doing his new management. Steele's Battalion was formed, and they set off to do the impossible; Explore, loot, and bring back relics and tales of the old, horror wrought world.
His men suffered heavy casualties at the first beast encountered. Steele himself had to abandon the caravan of 40 men, only 2 survived with him when a great beast attacked them. They had heard rumors of large spiders, but this one left a shadow that only mountains could mirror. It's sheer size froze many of the men in their place as it devoured them hole. out of the 2 that escaped with him, one died to open wounds, the other broke down like a child and returned home. Steele, was to continue alone and without supplies. An adventurer is he!

-Character name: Azrael Bail
-Character race: Half Human half elf
-Character gender: Male
-Character age: 26
-Character Occupation (optional, note you still must talk to the lord about loaning or purchasing any stall/shop for your character if he/she would have one. This more or less helps us to better understand your characters starting skill set): Free lancer, for the moment.
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.): Tall, filled in but not exactly muscular. But not fat at all due to his previous line of work. Normal human ears, long slender face. Brown hair and eyes. His old coat tells of many adventures but his young appearance would make it obvious they were not his own. Brown run of the mill boots complete his ragtag outfit.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.): Past events have left him very reclusive in revealing who he is. Cocky only to annoy adversaries, he only enjoys being a smart(#stopminecraftcensorship2016) in any battle of sorts, but then he really enjoys it. He's otherwise a calm person and tries to bring an air of serenity with him, working his best to diffuse any hostile situation peacefully.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Azrael wasn't born to a great family. Or town. His mother and father were both traveling adventurers, serving as partner both in business and intimacy. His father Algus, was human. A large man who was trained by the sword, he handled most of the dirty work on their adventures, besting foe and beast alike. His wife Kathris was a High Elf. She was a soft spoken, soothing woman who had a knack for illusory magic, as well as basic telepathic ability. With this she handled most social affairs, delegations, and anything where a sharp tongue beats a blade.
Azrael inherited his mother's telepathic abilites, but only a basic amount. What this lead to, was an uncanny ability to soothe animals and people when talking to them, making any form of negotiation easy. When they first had their son, they bought a home a good walk away from a small town, enjoying the space from the villagers yet still near enough to do whatever jobs they needed a sell sword for.
His magic also gave him minor foresight, which lead to a faster learning in his father's art. His reflexes weren't the best, but if he concentrated, he could predict his father's movements with great accuracy to block. This however drained the kid, and his father took pity, thinking he was weak and had no stamina. But he developed his combat technique like every other kid would, so that he would one day be able to prove useful to some lord or another and earn a living.
After reaching the age of 14, he started accompanying his father on his missions, usually helping local guards/militia, or simply a farmer in need. Anything that paid, and wasn't morally seen as wrong, they had a hand in helping. At the age of 18 during a certain mission with a lord of land not too far from them, his ability to persuade, calm, and overall deal with the public was noticed, and Azrael was hired as a representative for his area, as well as a public figure in place of the lord. Names do not matter, however. With the demon portals sealed, a cult in the town had formed in worship of these malevolent creatures in hopes of their return. They sought to kill the lord and take the land to host a new portal if they could ever have the proper way to open one. And they gained a truly frightening amount of followers. Nearly 10 years have passed, and they launched their attack. The guard, now comprised of men too old to fight a civil war, and men too green to put up a good fight, fell all to quickly. Azrael's father among them. His mother was one of the many nameless victims who were raped and murdered all in favor of a chaotic reign. He knew he had to leave, or he'd be another desecrated corpse.
Vowing to use his inherited magic to try to defy this cult, and similar affiliates, he took on the role of a roaming free lancer, helping in any situation he came across as peacefully as he can.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. (At least one paragraph for each):
You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
Azrael looks down, then his eyes trail the child running off with his money. "Oh, damn it." Quietly he steals off into an alley way, keeping careful track of the child as he runs on a street parallel to him. As the kid thinks he's lost Azrael, he takes a seat counting his earnings. From the shadows emerges Azrael slowly, stepping as softly as he can up until he's within inches of the child's back. "You gave quite a chase there." Startled, the kid falls forward, and flips onto his back to meet his pursuer. "I'll need this money back."He would say, retrieving his stolen money. "But, if you're up for dinner, I'm more than happy to oblige. "
A little confused and shocked, the kid stands up slowly, taking his hand and walking with him to one of the overnight foodstands. He orders and pays for both of them, and they walk down the road a bit to some public benches before eating in a weird silence. After some time has passed, Azrael speaks up "You know, what you do here is dangerous. You can get seriously hurt, or hurt someone's future by doing this." At the start of the lecture, the kid looked at his food, not taking another bite, a defeated state apparent on his face. "If you're looking for new line of work, I'd be interested in taking on an apprentice. You seem to be capable with deft hands, perhaps you can learn my tricks and trade?" And with that, the young child and Azrael leave together.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Azrael looks down on the whimpering beast, not knowing a lick of first aid. *Sigh*"Well, I can't help in every issue or I'd get nothing of true significance done." Points his open palm at the group of wolves, and tries his hand(badum tss) at his magic to try to soothe the creatures, lulling them into a sense of security. Once the wolves are calm, he stabs the mother through the back of the head, knowing how deep the trap is on her leg, she won't be providing for her pups. He cold only think to put her out of her misery. Finally, he takes the small pups with him to one of the farms, and helps persuade the land owner to try to tame the beasts to help protect his farm from other predators, before going back out on his way again.
Extra notes (Optional, could include theme songs, pictures, etc.):
Only fill out below if you want your character to have magic capabilities. If you don't fill this out, then your character will be incapable of performing any form of magic. Note that it will take significant in character practice and experience to become any form of proficient in magic.
(We only accept high quality magic applications!)
_______________________________________________________________________
-Magic Biography; Explain the reason you want your character to have magic through backstory application: (At least three extremely well-crafted paragraphs. You must describe to us why your character can use magic, what drives him to further his ability, how he learned that he could use magic, and what benefits magic brings to this character, what type of magic they’ll strive to use, etc. This is not a middle school paper! I will not accept applications that say “My character got my magic from x, and he wants to use it because it’ll help him! Also for RP!")
It wasn't Azrael who discovered he inherited magical abilities, but his mother who saw it in him. He was able to handle and tame creatures of the wild or at the very least subdue them with unnatural ease. His mother spent the good portion of 5 years trying to form a psychic connection, finally achieving success and validating that he had in fact magical capability. This power they use is primarily in time of peace, as it greatly drains them mentally and physically. Prolonged use at any time could result in failure to think clearly, decision making, muscle fatigue, and eventually the body shutting down. There are battle techniques used as well, but they haven't been practiced yet to be fully practical. In time. His drive to learn more of his power and use it, comes from his favor of Udero, hoping through peaceful negotiation he can achieve the balance praised by this god.
-Please give an example in your own words describing the limitations placed upon those who use magic (This should be at least one well-crafted paragraph):
"This power they use is primarily in time of peace, as it greatly drains them mentally and physically. Prolonged use at any time could result in failure to think clearly, decision making, muscle fatigue, and eventually the body shutting down. There are battle techniques used as well, but they haven't been practiced yet to be fully practical." taken from the above paragraph
-Please give a description of the magic system in your own words: Well, it was a lot of basic generalities on the forum. Magic comes from an inborn ability, and the aid of a trinket.
-You are given a weak trinket of <blank>, you haven't had much practice with magic yet, but you will try your best. Describe some things you could/would do with this trinket: Wear it as a necklace. I'm not sure, both in character and OOC I'll need to learn.
You start with one aspect only. You gain the rest of them (How ever many your race may have) of your own choice through further RP, however you will not be able to attain them immediately.
As a side note, I wanted to get this done tonight, but I felt I may have rushed things as it's 4:30 am. If I have to redo anything I won't be upset.

His magic also gave him minor foresight, which lead to a faster learning in his father's art. His reflexes weren't the best, but if he concentrated, he could predict his father's movements with great accuracy to block. This however drained the kid, and his father took pity, thinking he was weak and had no stamina. But he developed his combat technique like every other kid would, so that he would one day be able to prove useful to some lord or another and earn a living.
After reaching the age of 14, he started accompanying his father on his missions, usually helping local guards/militia, or simply a farmer in need. Anything that paid, and wasn't morally seen as wrong, they had a hand in helping. At the age of 18 during a certain mission with a lord of land not too far from them, his ability to persuade, calm, and overall deal with the public was noticed, and Azrael was hired as a representative for his area, as well as a public figure in place of the lord. Names do not matter, however. With the demon portals sealed, a cult in the town had formed in worship of these malevolent creatures in hopes of their return. They sought to kill the lord and take the land to host a new portal if they could ever have the proper way to open one. And they gained a truly frightening amount of followers. Nearly 10 years have passed, and they launched their attack. The guard, now comprised of men too old to fight a civil war, and men too green to put up a good fight, fell all to quickly. Azrael's father among them. His mother was one of the many nameless victims who were raped and murdered all in favor of a chaotic reign. He knew he had to leave, or he'd be another desecrated corpse.
Vowing to use his inherited magic to try to defy this cult, and similar affiliates, he took on the role of a roaming free lancer, helping in any situation he came across as peacefully as he can.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. (At least one paragraph for each):
You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
Azrael looks down, then his eyes trail the child running off with his money. "Oh, damn it." Quietly he steals off into an alley way, keeping careful track of the child as he runs on a street parallel to him. As the kid thinks he's lost Azrael, he takes a seat counting his earnings. From the shadows emerges Azrael slowly, stepping as softly as he can up until he's within inches of the child's back. "You gave quite a chase there." Startled, the kid falls forward, and flips onto his back to meet his pursuer. "I'll need this money back."He would say, retrieving his stolen money. "But, if you're up for dinner, I'm more than happy to oblige. "
A little confused and shocked, the kid stands up slowly, taking his hand and walking with him to one of the overnight foodstands. He orders and pays for both of them, and they walk down the road a bit to some public benches before eating in a weird silence. After some time has passed, Azrael speaks up "You know, what you do here is dangerous. You can get seriously hurt, or hurt someone's future by doing this." At the start of the lecture, the kid looked at his food, not taking another bite, a defeated state apparent on his face. "If you're looking for new line of work, I'd be interested in taking on an apprentice. You seem to be capable with deft hands, perhaps you can learn my tricks and trade?" And with that, the young child and Azrael leave together.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Azrael looks down on the whimpering beast, not knowing a lick of first aid. *Sigh*"Well, I can't help in every issue or I'd get nothing of true significance done." Points his open palm at the group of wolves, and tries his hand(badum tss) at his magic to try to soothe the creatures, lulling them into a sense of security. Once the wolves are calm, he stabs the mother through the back of the head, knowing how deep the trap is on her leg, she won't be providing for her pups. He cold only think to put her out of her misery. Finally, he takes the small pups with him to one of the farms, and helps persuade the land owner to try to tame the beasts to help protect his farm from other predators, before going back out on his way again.

-Magic Biography; Explain the reason you want your character to have magic through backstory application: (At least three extremely well-crafted paragraphs. You must describe to us why your character can use magic, what drives him to further his ability, how he learned that he could use magic, and what benefits magic brings to this character, what type of magic they’ll strive to use, etc. This is not a middle school paper! I will not accept applications that say “My character got my magic from x, and he wants to use it because it’ll help him! Also for RP!")
It wasn't Azrael who discovered he inherited magical abilities, but his mother who saw it in him. He was able to handle and tame creatures of the wild or at the very least subdue them with unnatural ease. His mother spent the good portion of 5 years trying to form a psychic connection, finally achieving success and validating that he had in fact magical capability. This power they use is primarily in time of peace, as it greatly drains them mentally and physically. Prolonged use at any time could result in failure to think clearly, decision making, muscle fatigue, and eventually the body shutting down. There are battle techniques used as well, but they haven't been practiced yet to be fully practical. In time. His drive to learn more of his power and use it, comes from his favor of Udero, hoping through peaceful negotiation he can achieve the balance praised by this god.
-Please give an example in your own words describing the limitations placed upon those who use magic (This should be at least one well-crafted paragraph):

-Please give a description of the magic system in your own words: Well, it was a lot of basic generalities on the forum. Magic comes from an inborn ability, and the aid of a trinket.
-You are given a weak trinket of <blank>, you haven't had much practice with magic yet, but you will try your best. Describe some things you could/would do with this trinket: Wear it as a necklace. I'm not sure, both in character and OOC I'll need to learn.
You start with one aspect only. You gain the rest of them (How ever many your race may have) of your own choice through further RP, however you will not be able to attain them immediately.
As a side note, I wanted to get this done tonight, but I felt I may have rushed things as it's 4:30 am. If I have to redo anything I won't be upset.
