My character is a dark elf named Rilamus Llaram. He traveled with his parents through cyrodiil as merchants. When he was the human equivalent of about 16, (which would be roughly 60-70 years old) his parents were both killed by bandits. He then began traveling from city to city, resorting to thievery to get by. A few years later he was caught, thrown in jail, and shipped out to morrowind. He cast aside his criminal ways and turned out to be a skilled spellsword. He became the Archmagister of House Telvanni and the Nerevarine. He was one of the youngest people to have ever done so. And another young dunmer member of house Telvanni, Alavesa Theray, a nightblade, later became his wife, they are still together today. His best friend was an argonian named Itan-Ru, who he freed at the slave market. Itan-Ru came along with him as a fine warrior, skilled with light armor and spears, Itan-Ru later settled down and Rilamus has been a friend to his family ever since. During the Red Year, his home, Tel Uvirith, was flooded in ash and lava, and he and his wife were forced to flee Morrowind as they were chased out by the argonian invaders. He never really held a grudge on them though. They travelled all across tamriel and were never really able to settle down until nearly 200 years later (elves live for a long time, and being a powerful mage makes them live even longer) they wandered into Skyrim, and were caught in the middle of the Imperial ambush on the stormcloaks, along with a nord who they never knew much about, only that he was later found out to be the dragonborn and joined the stormcloaks. They had a few encounters, and at least one of them would walk away bleeding each time. He now lives in whiterun with his wife, knowing that their home is constantly threatened by the civil war. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been doing this for years, I've had alot of time to invent back stories. Hell, this is just my Main character, I have more, The two others I mentioned in this one are my characters too.
