Cool, I also have a mind to create a few more characters, who may or may not turn into NPC's depending on how relevant they are on the whole scale.

This is WIP, due the fact I am also needing to see the final version of two other CS's. But for now, this is one of the two characters I will write for.
Name :
Alicia of House Tinath
Nicknames :
Alice
Gender :
Female
Age and birthday :
She is 8 years old, born on 8th of May in the year of 1294.
Origin :
Born as the daughter of Breena and Richard of Tinath, her origins is of the Lesser House of Tinath.
Length and build :
1.48m and a slim build.
Weight :
45 kg.
Sexuality :
N/A, too young.
Appearances :
Occupation :
A member of the House of Tinath, with the dream of becoming a knight or a wood walker, like she calls the profession of her father.
Favorite phrase/saying :
''A bird can fly, but doesn't mean he is free.''
Favorite Food :
Sweet tasty food. She doesn't have a real favorite dish.
Favorite Weather and Season :
Snow and Winter.
Patron God/Goddess :
Miri, for the myths and legends she appear in. That and after hearing Griffons are her servants, she loves to hear tales about them.
Personality :
Alicia is a quite stubborn person. She doesn't easily let somebody persuade her, as she is the kind of person that first want to see something before believing it. Though she doesn't judge people for their beliefs, but for their actions. And if she disagrees with somebody, she let's them know it. This often causes trouble with other people, not to mention the language she sometimes uses. Not that it's too foul, but to see a young girl that is supposed to be growing as a member of nobility to use words as 'bloody' and such makes some people gasp.. or chuckle.
History :
Born into the House of Tinath, Alicia was born to the hunter/woodsman Richard and the owner of a tailor shop, Breena of Tinath. With neither of her parents too rich, Alicia never made much of a problem from it. She was at a young age already very curious. Often she asked either her father or mother why something was like that. Why birds could fly and such questions. After having been taught how to read, Alicia discovered a whole new world, in her experience. She became more and more interested in nature as well, finding it the best thing when her father would tell tales about the gods or of his adventures. Or before going to bed, hearing her mother's sweet voice, spinning tales.
When she was around a year or six, her father took in a companion. The big hound, Mitch, was something she thought was the best animal ever. Seeing how the young pup grew that quickly made the little girl realize she would also grow. And that she would have to chose something she would do with her life. The decision was made faster than anybody likely could anticipate. Alicia's dream is to become a knight. Why? Cause she could then prevent from having to be saved. She could protect her father, mother and Mitch. Besides, everybody likes a herioc knight that saves them. With that rather naive and childish view, she continued to read more about what was all about knights. The chivalry and such wasn't attractive to her. Already, she had figured out that was killed most knights in stories. Being too chivalrous.
But for now Alicia also shows interest in her fathers work, clearly thus not wanting to become a lady-like figure. After all, who likes to be the person that needs to be saved all the time?
Theme song :
Your hand in mine.
Clothing and/or armor :
Often wears clothes that are for the low nobility, not that expensive dresses. Though in her 'rebellious nature' Alisa also has managed to get some pants and clothing that make her sometimes look like a tomboy. But she does feel more at ease in such clothing. Most of the clothes she wears are handmade by her mother, something that causes Alicia to often walk with pride.
Tools and weapons :
=======
Name :
Alicia's dagger.
Description :
A slim dagger that she carries around. As a gift of her father, she is carrying it hidden away and only uses it when she is forced to.
Appearance :
=======
Name :
Sarah.
Description :
A young pup of around 4~5 months old. After requesting it for more than a year, her father bought and arranged a hound for her too. Sarah is always spotted with Alicia, the two being always near each other. The bond she has with Alicia is one that might even be better than her fathers, Richard, and Mitch. Often, Alicia talks to Sarah, as she considers the dog her best friend. Which is actually the truth.
Appearance :
=======
Skill/Abilities :
* Has little strength,
* Is a fast runner for her age.
* Has learned how to move with making not to much noise, thus being a good sneaker.
* Great in analyzing situations and most of the time how to react to stay out of trouble.
* Know how to read and write,
* Is able to ride on horseback, but is not that great due her fear for heights.
Traits
* More cunning than smart.
* A fast learner.
* Is afraid of heights.
I pledge loyalty and honor to the High Ruler of the Empire.

Ok, here's my Character:
Let me know if I forgot or need to expand anything.
EDIT: I pledge loyalty and honor to the High Ruler of the Empire.
Name: Kareth of Deliar
Nicknames: The Hammer of the North, or Hammer (A nickname poking fun at his bluntness, personal weapon and his northern descent, which later became a badge of honor after his fierce display against the Northern Barbarians. He doesn't use this nickname much outside the Legion.)
Gender: Male
Age and birthday: Born in winter of 1266, Kareth is 36.
Origin: Kareth was born in the north, and was orphaned during a barbarian raid. An imperial officer found him and raised him in his house as a servant.
Length and build: 5' 10'' appears stocky, but is very muscular. (See picture)
Weight: 14 stone.
Sexuality: Straight.
Appearances:
Except he's not a blacksmith.
Occupation:
Unoccupied, recently finished a tour with the legion.
Favorite phrase/saying:
“Onward to Death and Glory... more likely Death than Glory...” His way of saying 'this is really stupid, but lets do it anyway.'
“All men die. Only some of us find Glory before we do.” One of his favorite lines from the story of the Great General Alutius, a Hero of the early Empire. He has used this line many times to inspire his troops.
Favorite Food:
Salt Pork. He developed quite the taste for it in the Legion.
Favorite Weather and Season:
Foggy weather. He thinks it adds a degree of mystery to the world, even if you know the area like the back of your hand.
Patron God/Goddess:
Skelatia. As a low ranked soldier, Kareth is less involved with how to plan a battle and more concerned with weather or not he will survive it, so he prays to Skelatia, she who deigns who will be taken, either that she pass over him or ease his journey to the next life.
He also Prays to Irtan on occasion. A little extra luck never hurt, right?
Personality:
Kareth is simply a soldier. He follows orders from his superiors without question and offers respect to those whose stations are higher than his. He is friendly and polite to those who don't know him, but once he feels comfortable with you, his coarse soldier side starts to show. He is blunt and has little patience for subtlety. He particularly despises the Northern Barbarians, and is rather vocal on the subject.
History:
Kareth came from a village to the north. After a barbarian raid left him orphaned at the age of 12, an Imperial officer from House Tinath took him in and raised him as a servant. There he received a basic education and a firm grounding in Imperial Virtues. When he turned 16, he joined the Legion, and took to that lifestyle with gusto. He managed to attain the rank of Tesserarius for distinguished service against the Northern Barbarians. After 20 years of soldiering, as much as he enjoyed that lifestyle, he wants to settle down and raise a family. He now has returned to the City of Deliar, looking for work, and with his pay from the legion. He does feel that he owes House Tinath his loyalty for raising him.
Theme song:
Road to Revelation by Two Steps from Hell. I cant get a link working.
Clothing and/or armor:
He has his armor from the army, which consists of a leather tunic and bracers, chainmail tunic and a simple iron breastplate, but he doesn't wear it often now that he's a civilian. He does still wear his legion belt with the buckle inscribed with unit, cohort and rank.
Tools and weapons:
=======
Name:
Northern Hammer
Description:
A flanged mace. Standard issue in the Legion. It has 27 notches on the shaft.
Appearance:
=======
Name:
Chopper
Description:
A falchion. Standard issue in the Legion. The back edge has 36 notches filed into it.
Appearance:
Skill/Abilities:
Command: Kareth has led a compliment of 50 men and commanded their respect. When he orders, people have a tendency to obey, a handy skill from his time in the Legion.
Combat Proficiency: Kareth is skilled in the use of Maces and Falchions, and knows how to fight with a Shield. He also can use a bow, though not with any exceptional degree of skill.
Wilderness Survival: Kareth can fend for himself in the absence of civilization.
Traits:
Brave: Where other men quail, Kareth stands. He is not easily cowed.
Physically Prime: Conditioned by the physical trials of Legion life, such as carrying 7 stone or more in gear up to 20 miles daily, Kareth is in his physical prime.
Courteous: Kareth will treat people with politeness and courtesy so long as they do nothing to earn his ire.
Literate: Reading and writing are important.
Honorable: If he owes a debt to you, Kareth will not forget it.

I pledge loyalty and honor to the High Ruler of the Empire.
Name :
Richard Tinath
Nicknames :
Rich - a shorter way to say Richard.

Male
Age and birthday :
Born in the year 1275 (thus 27 years old), on 2nd of October.
Origin :
From the Lesser House of Tinath.
Length and build :
Around 1.85m. Strong, but lean build.
Weight :
84 kg.
Sexuality :
Heterosexual. Married.
Appearances :
Occupation :
Was once a marksman for the Legion, serving as a tesserarius but after five years resigned to live back in the fortress of Hials as a hunter and woodsman.
Favorite phrase/saying :
''Count your blessings, but don't rely too much on them.''
Favorite Food :
He doesn't really have a favourite food, but likes honey quite a lot.
Favorite Weather and Season :
Winter and clouded weather (loves when it rains now and then).
Patron God/Goddess :
He still swears and curses by Rolor, likely due having served in the military. After becoming a hunter/woodsman, also Irtan, hoping for good luck once in a while.
Personality :
Richard is in general a reserved and cool person. He doesn't often open up to people that he deems to be unworthy of his time or when he has a feeling of distrust for them. When he is around family and loved ones, he tends to be a bit more open. Though he isn't one to openly admit his faults, doubts and deep thoughts, he is more willing to show a caring side to those who are close with him. He is a man that has little ambition, only wishing the best for his family.
He shows to have great respect of people that follow their words as well for nature. Though not a man that is very religious, Richard sometimes prays when he is desperate. But always prays for others instead of himself. Next to that, Richard is also a very loyal man, once he trust somebody he often is willing to accept their words and actions.
History :
Born to a father that was a men at arms in the service of the House of Rynir and a mother that was a maid, Richard grew up in the fortress of Hials. Together with two brothers and one sister, he didn't had a bad youth. Though being the third son in line, he managed to learn writing and reading from his mother. Something only he, his sister and the oldest brother ever managed to learn. As they didn't had that much money or were that wealthy, it became clear that the younger children of their household would need to find a profession where they could earn their own bread. Being a boy, it was a logical choice for a son of a low noble knight to join the military. Together with his younger brother, he went into service at the age of sixteen.
For the next five years, Richard would be trained and worked as a marksman in the Legion of Awom. Being trained in Hials instead of Deliar, he however met one day a girl he fell in love with. She, Breena Tinath, worked in a tailor shop that was owned by her. Because he often hunted on his free time and days, he would then try to sell hides to the tailor shop, in hopes of getting to learn the girl he fancied. After he managed to learn her name and woo her, he had managed to muster his courage and to ask her hand. Much to his own surprise, she said yes and the two married. In that same year, he became a father at the age of 19th. A year he would never forget.
On a patrol with the unit he was in, thus fifty soldiers, they got ambushed by deserters. A fierce fight broke out between the soldiers and deserters. Their tesserarius was killed, due an arrow impaling his right eye and piercing into his skill. Several more soldiers died that day before the unit managed to dispose of the deserters. It was Richard who had managed to rally the soldiers and lead them in an offensive back. Gaining respect for his quick thinking and leadership, he was promoted to become the tesserarius of the unit. But he also mourned the loss of his younger brother. He was one of the soldiers who died in that skirmish.
Until he was 23 years old, he stayed as a tesserarius in his unit. Then Richard decided he had enough of the Legion and offered his service and expertise to the House of Rynirs in Hials. He became a hunter and woodsman in their service. Though he didn't change that much, it became clear to some of his friends and those he considered close to him that he had changed a bit due the loss of his brother. It only became worse when his only sister died, because she fell of a horse and broke her spine. Though he didn't become so silent towards his daughter and wife, his friends noticed that he changed towards them. He became more quiet and observant than before, like he didn't want to become close with anybody for fearing to suffer the same pain he had felt before.
Now being 27 and almost eight years a hunter and marksman in the service of the Rynirs, Richard hopes he had gained his little bit of peace. That his family can prosper and his little daughter can grow up without being threatened by any kind of threat.
Theme song :
For the King
Clothing and/or armor :
During his free time, Richard wears a garb that is more or less to not make him stand out. He wears often clothes like this.
Whenever he is hunting or might be called to service again, something he does fear now and then, he wears his old garb which consist of this protective gear.

In that same year, he became a father at the age of 19th. A year he would never forget.
On a patrol with the unit he was in, thus fifty soldiers, they got ambushed by deserters. A fierce fight broke out between the soldiers and deserters. Their tesserarius was killed, due an arrow impaling his right eye and piercing into his skill. Several more soldiers died that day before the unit managed to dispose of the deserters. It was Richard who had managed to rally the soldiers and lead them in an offensive back. Gaining respect for his quick thinking and leadership, he was promoted to become the tesserarius of the unit. But he also mourned the loss of his younger brother. He was one of the soldiers who died in that skirmish.
Until he was 23 years old, he stayed as a tesserarius in his unit. Then Richard decided he had enough of the Legion and offered his service and expertise to the House of Rynirs in Hials. He became a hunter and woodsman in their service. Though he didn't change that much, it became clear to some of his friends and those he considered close to him that he had changed a bit due the loss of his brother. It only became worse when his only sister died, because she fell of a horse and broke her spine. Though he didn't become so silent towards his daughter and wife, his friends noticed that he changed towards them. He became more quiet and observant than before, like he didn't want to become close with anybody for fearing to suffer the same pain he had felt before.
Now being 27 and almost eight years a hunter and marksman in the service of the Rynirs, Richard hopes he had gained his little bit of peace. That his family can prosper and his little daughter can grow up without being threatened by any kind of threat.
