Here's my character:

Name: Raitoningu (Not his true name)

age: mid 40's

race: High Elf (With 1/8 Nord in him)

Raitoningu was born to a full blooded High Elf (His father) and a 3/4 High Elf, 1/4 Nord mother. Those two differed by many High Elfs because they worshipped Talos. He had 3 caregives, one, a Khajit who was blind but a master swordsman, an Argonian who was a female reformed master thief, and an aging Dark Elf who was an assassin for the Dark Brotherhood who decided to retire his life as an assassin. Anyway, he was trained to honor his land and he became a merchant.

One day, while visiting his parents while in his 20's, a Thalmor Assassin (not known to him) had come to kill his parents. Said assassin was a Nord hired by the Thalmor to kill Raitoningu's parents, and him too. While said assassin was able to kill his parents, his caregivers who were also visiting killed the assassin. The thief searched for any valuables and found a letter. It stated that said assassin kill Raitoningu's parents, and it was signed by the Dark Brotherhood. But before the Argonian could tell the others, the house started to burn!

The Dark Elf was able to get them out of safety. The female Argonian read the letter, and the Dark Elf got suspicious. He figured that Raitoningu's parents had nothing bad on their name, but the angered High Elf had nothing of it. He felt like killing the Dark Elf, until the Khajit informed him to not take it out on the man's former profression, and let him train until he was strong enough to take on the Dark Brotherhood.

And so he trained for the next 10 years in various ways of combat. A courier, in around the 2 years of his training, gave him a letter, informing him of his loss, and said letter said it was an attack by the Dark Brotherhood, and that he should join the Empire. He said he'd do it after 8 more years of training, and so he did join the Empire.

His first assigment was to do rather back breaking labor. It was something that was used for rather lowly warriors to get their strength up. Angered and fuming with rage at being called such a lowly soldier (despite all the training, he wasn't that strong). He decided to quit the Empire, and go back to training.

Remember when I said he was 1/8 Nord. Here's why. His ancestor was a Nordic Vampire who married and impregnated a High Elf. He just so happened to have been turned into a Vampire, when he was an old man. He did not even know until he fully turned. Almost shunned by society, he decided to live in seclusion. While his descendants grew up and later married when they were around 90 (Due to the long lifespan of High Elfs) he grew somewhat bitter.

Then, one day, an Assassin came to try and kill him. Luckily, he was able to stop the Assassin in their tracks. And luckily, said assassin was a coward, after said Nord Vampire threatened a graphic death at the assassin. The Assassin confirmed he was sent by the Thalmor to assassinate him, daring to impregnate a High Elf with filthy "Talos Blood". He demanded what his other plans were, and he said he was going to kill his descendant, after he was done with him. He demanded where his descendent was, and he said the last time he was tracked, he was walking near Solitude. Not wanting the assassin to get to his descendant, he killed said assassin.

Traveling for days, the Nord Vampire was trying to look for his descendent by a special spell he came up with, that he could smell where his offspring were. He found Raitoningu training with the Argonian and Khajit (The Dark Elf died of old age at that time) and Raitoningu immediatly demanded who he was. The vampire said he was his ancestor, and even called him by his name. Wondering how he got his name, he demanded proof. Said Vampire listed his grandfather's name, and he realized it was him.

The Vampire warned Raitoningu that the Thalmor were looking for him, and he needed to escape Skyrim. He didn't believe it, until a Thalmor assassin had tracked down Raitoningu, and they subdued said assassin, and said assassin proclaimed he was working for the Thalmor. The Argonian and Khajit killed said assassin, and later decided they cannot be seen with Raitoningu. And so, Raitoningu departed Skyrim for 10 years, for a decade of extreme non stop trainin to fight against the Thalmor...

And so, Raitoningu decided to cross the border and lived for 10 years doing odd jobs, without a place to sleep, threat of assassins possibly coming to him, and once, even an imperial soldier tried to get him arrested, but he fled to another area. He trained a great deal and even grew a beard to hide his appearance. He made sure to read all about the Thalmor and Empire, and their tactics and trained to tone his body to be super strong. Many years later, he decided to go back to Skyrim, to destroy the Thalmor...

And so, Raitoningu, dressed like a Thalmor, decided to go to the Thalmor Headquarters in Solitude. Wondering who he was, the Thalmor warned him to leave. Then, Raitoningu launched an attack, and killed nearly all the Thalmor, but one managed to do something to him that caused him great dismay. Said Thalmor launched an attack at him, whiping out all the training Raitoningu had done. He was still very beefy, just his skills were now practically useless. Luckily for him, the Empire decided to have him executed at Helgen.

He admired Ulfiric Stormcloack the moment he saw him. He joined the Stormcloaks and despite being a High Elf, he's almost like a Nord at heart. He does not hold prejudices, except for the Thalmor and the Empire. If his hatred for the Thalmor were a fire, it would spread to swallow Jupiter, (from the sun's core to Jupiter) due to the fact that they ordered his family's execution and cost him all the years of his training to whither away. But his one true hatred is the Empire, for treating him like filth, killing his vampire ancestor and his two caretakers. The two caretakers were set to death for killing an "innocent man" and the vampire was set to be killed for "causing mass terror" (he found this out when the Thalmor who cast the spell on him mocked him, knowing who he was), and attempting to execute him.

Despite his hatred, he does live a rather good life. He is married to Ysolda, and has two daughters, Sofie and Lucia. He built his own house, the Windstad Manor, all by himself, and is quite wealthy. He wishes to become a vampire lord some day after researching them while in exile. He also wishes to honor his caretakers by joining the dark brotherhood and become a thief. His moral compass may be off, but nontheless, he loves his Stormcloak brothers and sisters and treats them as his own.

-And that is Raitoningu's story
