Time to create a character (This is the first one)

Name: Sorin Steelfang

Race: Breton/Vampire

Gender: Male

Age: 29 (does not age)

Appearance: A taller and stronger than average breton, due to his nord ancestry. He wears a set of armor plated robes, completely black, the armored parts are ornate and shiny. Looks normal, except he has those vampire eyes and fangs.

Spells(Max 8): Close wounds, vampire lord life drain spell, chain lightning, thunderbolt, poison rune, vampiric drain (normal).

Powers(Racial + 1): Passive magicka regeneration in day, fire resistance

Equipment: A daedric longsword (one handed, I'll not describe it, look up "lost longswords" mod if you are that curious). Uses mostly chain lightning for ranged combat, as well as the occasional AOE vampire lord life drain if there are enough enemies (he cannot spam it). Fights close in with his sword in one hand and his spells in the other. He uses poison runes to distract and hurt enemies. Can improvise some things as weapons (e.g. wine bottles, chairs, brooms etc)

Faction/Role in Faction: Battlemage, up for hire

Bio (a bit long, read the end if you don't want to know his full story): When he was a baby, Sorin Steelfang was orphaned when the Aldmeri Dominion swept into his home at cyrodiil, killing his parents, his older siblings and his neighbours. He was spared by an old thalmor battlemage, who left the AD after the war, taking in the child as a future apprentice. From the battlemage, Sorin Steelfang learnt a few spells, his favourite being electricity. However, to his dismay, so much for his great magical aptitude, his magicka would invariably run out. Sorin Steelfang's master therefore suggested to him that he should go learn sword arts, such that he would have attack options, even if he ran out of magicka.

The apprentice wizard set out to find a master willing to teach him how to wield a sword, but he soon realised the best teacher was experience. After picking up some basic moves from a thug, he went on to challenge people, fight bandits, kill giants etc, eventually mastering the art of wielding the blade like a tsaesci swordmaster. His training with magic also gave him an innate affinity with the electricity he controlled, making him efficient with lightning spells and destruction magic.

He offered his services as a mercenary (and a general nice guy). After a few missions, he was tasked to kill a vampire nightmaster. He managed to slay the abomination after suffering multiple wounds from her sword strokes and supernatural strength, before fainting. The blood of the vampire seeped into his veins, giving him new life. Sorin Steelfang learnt he could not heal in the day after a while, thus with need led him to learn restoration spells to close his unclosing wounds. After getting badly burnt, he managed to create a method to resist fire by sacrificing some frost resistance, but the sun was still unbearably irritating (and made him tired and moody).

Still, the new strength his vampiric blood gave him, plus his natural skill was a more than formidable combination. Sorin Steelfang was essentially a "good" vampire, only consuming blood potions. People around him accepted him for who he was, simply because he never drank their blood. He gained new abilities from his supernatural bloodline, thus he became simultaneously an investigator/information gatherer and a clean up guy, amking full use of his "talents" and intelligence.

Thus, another assignment came in, this time from the Silver Bloods in Markath. They wanted him to look into the Fosworn. If possible, he might even be able to kill some of them while "protecting" the residents. He only charged a minimal fee of 5000 septims.
