@Arthanus I just cleared up the image issue, but as for your questions: 1) Nox's father was a nobody, he gave up his daughter for the sole purpose of gaining wealth. 2) "Late at night, Nox was often found within the study, analyzing powerful grimoires in hopes that one day, she'd be able to defend the woman who gave her an identity." as referenced by this quote, magic is a self taught skill that she learned in her free time with the intention of protecting her master, though it was more of a hobby than anything else. Once she acquired freedom, her magical aptitude increased as she fought the various creatures of Alestoth. 3) Nox was conflicted about leaving, but her master, being the generous soul she is, decided it was best to let her explore the world for herself, as she believed Nox had a higher calling then cleaning.
I apologize for the lack of clarity in my writing, I must have gotten over-excited. In the future I'll try my best to avoid discrepancies and deliver concise narratives.
For your character's enterence lets say you were one of the scouting units and you'll run into one of our groups right now. Perferably Siegfried because he will just rope you in to the plot.
So we still have a bunch of people who need to move into position. I'll make a post tomorrow to include Ithink but won't start our fight until Monday. Everyone cool with that?
Appearance: Sid is about 5 feet seven inches tall, with often messed up black hair and grey eyes. No matter in what condition he is, he always gives off some suggestion that he's immensely depraved. Perhaps it's because he never blinks, or because his hair is never neat. Or maybe it has something to do with the blood that's almost always on his hands.
Bio: Sid never knew high standings. He was born to a lowly family, he learned quickly the ways of the street. Even at a young age, people who met him knew there was something off about him. He was nice enough, but somehow looked like as if there was a malevolent force hiding behind the innocent child's face, just waiting for the right time to reveal itself.
At around 20 years of age, he had grown accustomed to the life of the poor, working odd jobs with a bit of moral ambiguity and occasionally nabbing a baker's goods, all the while trying to avoid the ire of both law enforcement and the underground crime community alike. Of course, to step on the toes of some organization or another was inevitable in his standing in life, and he was soon on the run from a newly elected congressman. The congressman to be in question built his campaign on him cracking down on crime, and was out searching for a scapegoat. He found it in the crime ridden streets of the ghettos. What resulted was a large inquisition on crime in the city slums, with many being hauled off to prison. Sid, unlike most, wasn't interested in dungeon life, and ran when the Suldan enforcers came banging on his neighbor's door. What followed was a week of sleeping in dark alleys with one eye open. His reward for escaping capture for seven whole days was a lifetime sentence in the oubliette.
Six years later, an election was held, with a new prospective congressman building his campaign upon punishing the criminals. He won by a landslide. Thus, the people incarcerated by the previous were now being dragged out in droves to be transferred into fighting pits, guillotines, and other related spectacle deaths. In Sid's case, he at least got the choice between fighting in the slums to an arena. He chose the slums. Strangely, his opponent was a Reaper. The first thing Sid did was duck into one of the familiar dark alleyways, thinking he was another upper class twit with no knowledge of the shortcuts. The Reaper quickly followed, proving surprisingly competent at navigating. He was never four blocks behind. However, Sid got some satisfaction from toying with him, hiding in garbage pits, behind curtains, and once on top of the roof, throwing bits of sharp glass, rusty spoons, and anything vaguely aerodynamic at the Reaper's head. At the end of the day, the Reaper caught up to him, but offered him a choice. Death or the Order. Sid, not having enough time to think, chose the Order.
However, the Sid who was tossed into prison was not the same Sid who came out. The malevolence within him had picked it's time, and the time was in the maddeningly dark, lonely pits of the oubliette. Fate had chewed him up and spit him out, leaving nought but a monster where there once was man.
Fighting Style: Sid is unpredictable in combat. He hides, maneuvers around, and surprises enemies from the back. In combat, he is ruthless and almost apathetic to the gore, giggling like a maniac every time he draws blood. When cornered, he practically throws himself at the enemy, fighting mostly with his hands and feet in close quarters. He gives no mercy to the injured or surrendered, preferring to snap the necks of the weak over trying to take on the strong.
Equipment: Sid has little in the way of equipment. Almost everything he has is situational. anything outside of the clothes on his back and a pocket full of money is something that can be used and quickly disposed of when it's usefulness ends. A common thing to find on his person are various throwing things, such as knives, darts, and the occasional pebble that strikes his fancy.
Skills/Abilities: Quick Thinking: Sid has always used his mind to get into and out of scrapes, improvise to the situation, and make clever plots. No Understanding of Fear: Sid stares down near death situations the same way a sane person would look at week old cheese. Stark Raving Mad: Sid may occasionally go into a fit of giggling and raving in the middle of battle, striking fear into his enemies.

@bloonewbbefore I get started with this, I am super tired so this is going to be blunt...
First, your picture seems broken. (not just on my phone this time on the PC as well) And Second your character is missing something important it was supposed to have. Not going to give it away but lets see if you find it.
As for the Character itself he doesn't really jump out at me and as you even put I don't see why the reapers would head hunt him. Especially two years after your event. In that time you would just be a prisoner and they would have nothing to do with you, as people in prison usually have problem's with authority and taking orders and wouldn't really be inclined to listen to Orders on the battlefield. On top of that you didn't explain your "interview" where the reaper would have tested your skills to see if you would survive as a member of the order.
For your fighting style and equipment I would like to see it a bit more defined, the order is basically a standing army and you don't see an army sending people into fights without weapons (Aside from the Russians, but that's another thing entirely) If your going for a rouge go rouge, take the dual dagger approach or something along those lines.
Basically I would say to update his backstory to explain what he did to draw the congressman's ire, then give a bit more info on the week of pursuit. Then your meeting with the Reaper, (personally I would go with Congressmen used his influence to give you a death sentence without trial and Reaper steps in before the execution to give you death in combat beats you and takes you as part of the Order "reborn" a new man. Just an idea how I would play it, its your character you are fee to come up with whatever story you with) and finally fix that bit about the Equipment and Fighting Style and I could see him joining the Order.
@Arthanus Thanks for the feedback. I'll get onto it now. Also, could you please just tell me what I'm missing? It'll help speed up the improvement process.
@bloonewb I think that Yuck was able to get the link for you just put it into the BB code and you should be alright.
@boomlover I'll take a look at another CS, as for a summary first two posts put us into our current state and the team is on a bit of a special mission to help out with winning the first major battle against the Orcs as well as try outs for the leader position of the team.
