[@LetMeDoStuff] Um. Am I allowed my Snow Elf character? Edit: Well here it is so I can hear the news tomorrow morning. [hider=Character Sheet][color=Gray][h3][u][b]-Faire-[/b][/u][/h3] --- [b]Full Name[/b] Faire Agarwen [b]Age[/b] Approximately 4000 years [b]Gender[/b] Female [b]Race[/b] Snow Elf (Falmer is a bit touchy now) --- [b]Appearance[/b] [img]http://th03.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2012/009/3/d/skyrim_last_of_the_snow_elves_by_1rich1-d4lt53r.jpg[/img] Faire is about as tall as the average Altmer, which is to say tall as the average Altmer are tied with being the tallest race. Her skin is, as you would expect, snow white with matching white hair. Her eyes have a certain blue glow to them and her skin is without mark or scar. For the most part, Faire hides herself under fur and leather armor, a scarf around her face, and a hood hiding her white hair as not to give away her identity. [b]Occupation[/b] Mercenary for the Imperial Legion --- [b]Personality[/b] Cold, short, distant. Hatred boils underneath knowing that everyone she has ever known was butchered in masses by Nordic scum and the traitorous Dwemer. For millennia, Faire sat in seclusion, dwelling upon the past did really do a number on her psychologically. She has an incredibly hard time trusting anyone, even though she has never had the chance. She just avoids people in general, especially Nords and the other Atmoran Races (Imperial, Breton, Redguard), due to the troubled past. However, she hates none more than a Nord (despite the fact her race started it), and would willing compromise her identity to silence a particularly ignorant one. She wasn't all hate. In her early years, she was well known to have been a cheerful individual who was a diehard romantic. She loved the idea of a true love story and the quickest way to her heart included the sappiest of poems and a bouquet of flowers. That was a long time ago and now she was different. Hardened but is someone who is very lonely. There has been no one in her life outside of her deities for over 4000 years. She does crave the warmth of friend and family but as no luck so far. [b]Background[/b] Four thousand years ago, Faire was a famous big game hunter in Skyrim. Her popularity opened up the possibility of freelance work so Faire went from town to town, killing nasty creatures who would terrorize a town and whatnot. It was a thrilling lifestyle and Faire could double as an entertaining guest in any hold. Not only entertaining but some Snow Elf nobility and even one Nordic Jarl were delighted to have her over for “late night activities”. Eventually war with the Nords happened and Faire was drafted into the military as things began getting desperate. She was there fighting alongside the historic “Snow Prince” before he perished in the Battle of Moesring. During the Snow Elven rout, Faire managed to run ahead of her kin as they were eradicated by the pursuing Nords. She made it just in time to have an encounter with the god of Luck, Sai. Despite not being an Elven deity, he offered Faire sanctuary from the pursuing Nords. Hesitantly, she took it fearing the consequences of siding with a “false” god. Sai had a secret alter devoted to himself built within a nearby mountain. It was often overlooked and only the most devote of priests knew of its location. For Faire’s safety and well-being, Sai commanded priests to deliver supplies under the guise of an offering to the location but they really were for Faire as she hid in shadows. For nearly four thousand years she lived like that. Hiding. During that time, she became rather loyal to Sai as he was really the only one who communicated with her at that point. She remained faithful to her deities, though. So Faire lived on. Throughout the many years, Sai taught her how to tap into her magical strength better, he kept her in the loop on major current events, and she honed her craft on archery and fetching (it wouldn't be good to get rusty). Her long life was due to either Sai or Auri-El, she couldn’t be sure, but she survived to this day. But now she wanted to see the world again, so despite Sai’s warning, she left in search of her kin. Sai did say it was possible others survived but he played not a part in their safety. Regardless, she couldn’t live inside that mountain forever. She had to leave. When she left, she always kept herself cloaked and disguised as revealing her true identity would attract attention and who knows how people would react when they realized a Snow Elf was still alive. With her identity hidden, she ended up doing what she does best. Hunting. But the game she hunts are no longer animals, instead, she hunts the any and all Nords motivated mostly out of revenge. The Empire have managed to direct her aggression towards the Stormcloaks and offered to keep her supplied and paid for her service. The deal is kept quiet but there are plenty of rumors circling, especially considering she tends to leave her mark behind. [b]Positive Traits[/b] First and foremost, Faire has remarkable marksmanship with a bow and arrow. She has years upon years of experience shooting game and Nords alike. Her secondary skill is the ability to command destruction magic, specifically ice spells, but has some experience with restoration and illusion. Her tertiary skill falls in line with her ability to sneak about due to her previously needing to sneak about to hunt game and such. Sentient things are a bit tougher to fool and deceive but still possible. [b]Negative Traits[/b] Faire doesn't play well with others usually and can be frustratingly difficult with anyone she immediately writes off, which is nearly everyone after a first impression. A soloist is much easier to capture with numbers after all. If you had to fight Faire, close the distance. She isn't armed with much outside of a dagger and any decently equipped and skilled soldier with a shield and a sword can give Faire problems. While she doesn't show it, she grieves over the fact that she is probably the last of her kin and is a right mess behind closed doors as she struggles to move on. --- [b]Affiliates[/b] Has a very loose association with the Imperial Legion, General Tullius, and a few Legates who know of her existence. Works mainly with Legate Fasendil, due to him being a Altmer and somewhat sympathetic to her. Due to the Empire's minimal tolerance and Fasendil's distrust of the Thalmor, Faire has not become known to them and is advised to avoid them.
