Shout: Become Ethereal

Bio: A former soldier of the Imperial Legion before she was forced into an early retirement due to an injury she sustained in battle. Not wanting to live the rest of her life useless, she prayed to the deadric lords for help. It was Hircine who had wandered her prayers and turned her into a werewolf, healing her wounds ands restoring her strength. And all she has to do is partake in the hunts whenever they occur, and constantly seek new prey to overcome. Less she become the prey herself.

Sheolred has practical combat skills she picked up from the imperial legion, mainly shield fighting and using one-handed weapons. She's also comfortable in heavy armor and a decent archer. As she joined Hircine's hunt her archery improved, and she begun to learn how to craft her own weapons and armor using the parts of her prey, as well as more conventional materials. Recently she's become quite interested in alchemical formulas that can create explosions; Sheolred herself is lousy at traditional destruction magic, so she wants to learn how to use Alchemy to make bombs.

Recently she's heard word of a band of hunters known as the Dawnguard. At first Sheolred didn't think much of them as she thought they were just another branch of the Vigilantes who simply operated in Skyrim. At least until she learned they hunted vampires, and would use whatever means they had to do so. Even werewolves. Seeing an opportunity to hunt more interesting prey than mere beast and bandits, Sheol sought the Dawnguard to put her skills to the test.

Shout: Storm Call

Bio: An orphan turned pirate, Catarina started her life picking pockets and cutting purses as young as 11 years old. She had to grow up fast to survive the streets of Penchal. She became a hired blade as soon as she could have afforded enough money to buy herself a sword, though she often got hired to simply assassinate people others didn't have the guts to do themselves. Catarina continued to assassinate others for money until she ran into some trouble with a merchant lord, who had used magic to fake his death to chase Catarina down. She had to join up with a pirate crew to escape the authorities and eventually arrived in Skyrim. After stealing some treasure off the pirates, Catarina felt into Skyrim to try looking for some "honest" work. And that's how she ended up getting involved with some strange folk calling themselves the "Dawnguard"...

[Attica]

Name: Freydis Ebonhand
Age: claims to be over 20
Race: Nord

Equipment: Two handed steel axe. A nifty dagger. Fur armor, fur hood, leather braces, sapphire pendant, waterskin, a bag of berries, purse (100g), bandages, healing potion (x2), a piece of carrot.

Shout: Unrelenting Force

Bio:

Freydis was born outside of Skyrim, like literally just beyond the border of Windhelm, where her mother was caught in the midst of labour by the time they were traveling from Cyrodiil to Skyrim. Sadly, her mother died shortly after her birth, which left her under the care of her father ever since. Freydis grew up in a household of pro Stormcloaks, and as a child she witnessed her uncles gone to war, and most of them never come back. Her father never liked the idea of getting her daughter involved in the influence of war and violence, so he mostly keeps his daughter away from his "honor" - driven brothers, but Freydis on the other hand was very enthused by the fantasies of battle and adventure.

When she got older, her father was succumbing to an illness, having nobody else to put bread on the table Freydis was forced early on to make a living, in the hopes of having enough gold to send her father to a proper healer. She went with all kinds of jobs; a helper at the local inn, a miner, lumberer, a blacksmith's assistant. Yet all those did nothing but bore her tirelessly with only little pay. One day Freydis scoped the local bulletin boards and eventually found an easy enough mercenary job, by clearing the local tundra of a skeever infestation. Having done her job so seamlessly, recruiters started hiring her a job after another and even mentored and assisted her to be become better at her job. From then on she lived a life of a mercenary and loved. Besides that, the pay was more than good that she had been able to get her dad healed. After she heard of the Dawnguard, she instantly wanted to get in. And having a good background, and notable mentors through the years should be enough to convince them to get her on the team.

Dra'Jirr The Sojourner

Name: Dra’Jirr The Sojourner
Age: 36
Race: Khajiit Suthay-Raht

Equipment:Steel dagger, potion of fortify speed (3x), potion of fortify acrobatics (3x), potion of healing (5x), poision of blindness (3x), potion of sea stride (3x), various alchemy ingredients.
Shout: Aura Whisper

Bio: Dra'Jirr was born when Messer was new and Secunda was Waning and is therefore a Suthay-Raht. Dra’Jirr’s parents were wealthy Caravaneers who had traveled all over Tamriel in search for business opportunities and Dra’Jirr was always with them. Despite living on the road and learning many things from experience his parents still wanted him to receive a formal education. So they hired a scholar that would travel with them and educate Dra’Jirr. The Scholar was an old and wise redguard who became a close friend to Dra’Jirr. When the caravan set up camp the redguard would take Dra’Jirr on walks around it teaching him about the local flora and fauna. Dra’Jirr was fascinated by this and although the main focus of his studies was business and mercantilism Dra’jirr managed to persuade the scholar to teach him more about plants, wildlife and their use in alchemy.

But traveling the roads of tamriel can be dangerous. Especially with only a handful of guards.
One day, when the caravan was traveling through hammerfell, they were attacked by bandits. Dra’Jirr managed to escape into the Alik’r desert by using a potion of invisibility but everyone else was either killed or captured and sold as slaves. Dra’Jirr was now stuck in the vast Alik’r desert searching for civilization. After some time in the desert Dra’Jirr came across a group of bandits, probably returning from a raid. He hid behind a large rock and hoped for the best. But to his amazement the bandits suddenly started to attack each other. After they had slaughtered each other a small cat came out of the bushes to loot any valuables of their bodies. This cat turned out to be a Khajiit. An Alfiq named Arwa. Arwa and Dra’Jirr decided to travel together in search of wealth and knowledge. Now they’ve ended up in Skyrim working for the Dawnguard.

Arwa The Pearled One

Name: Arwa The Pearled One
Age: 28
Race: Khajiit Alfiq

Equipment: Nothing, but she knows how to cast illusion and alteration magic.
Shout: Animal Allegiance

Bio: Arwa was born when Messer was waning and when Secunda was full and is therefore an Alfiq. Being an Alfiq comes with many drawbacks but it also has many advantages. Especially in Arwa’s line of work. Both of her parents were members of the thieves guild in Torval. They had made sure that their child was an Alfiq because no one expects a housecat to be a thief, especially outside of Elsweyr where Alfiqs are much less common. Arwa made an excellent career as a thief making much money and learning illusion and alteration magic to aid her in her pursuit of wealth. When things got too hot in Elsweyr she moved her business to hammerfell. At first this went swimmingly but during one heist things went south. It was supposed to be a simple job. She just had to break into a shop and steal an enchanted ring. Little did she know that her client was, in fact, an undercover guardsman. When she entered the city she was met by several armed guards who chased her out of the city and into the great Alik’r. She decided to travel through the desert towards cyrodiil, living of the local wildlife and looting the bodies of the occasional roaming bandits. It was during one of these attacks where she met another Khajiit. A Suthay-Rath named Dra’Jirr. They decided to travel together in search of wealth and knowledge. Now they’ve ended up in Skyrim working for the Dawnguard.
