    (Please note that the pic of him is himself currently.)
    i. Name Gorthalyn
    ii. Current Level 35
    iii. Class Holy Dragonborn Hero (Nord)
    iv. Backstory: This is the first chapter of Gorthalyn

    Returning to his homeland from Cyrodiil Gorthalyn seeks mercenary work to test his blade and spells, he however gets ambushed by Imperials and tossed in with a lot of Stormcloak rebels to be executed like a common crook. Fate had it be that it wasn't his judgement day by sending down a dragon from the heavens (Or heck). After escaping with Ralof, he was pointed towards Whiterun so his "real" journey begins. After doing a series of mercenary work, he heard word of a vampire threat. Knowing fate was calling him he joined the Dawnguard cause (lvl.10). After being signed a mission to discover what the Vampires are digging up he meets a mysterious vampire woman named Serana at first he thought of killing her but he noticed a scr- no The Elder Scroll of Blood. Serana dragged him off to meet her vampiric-father Harkon to reveal why she's a Elder Scroll with her. Harkon asked for Gorthalyn to join his ranks, Gorthalyn of course declined and was sent back to Fort Dawnguard. After doing meager work for the dawnguard such as saving civilians, clearing out vampire camps. He came across a daedric beacon, at first he was trying to ignore the calling, but the urge was to great so he went to talk to Meridia the Daedric Prince of Life. She assigned Gorthalyn the task to cleanse her shrine of Malkoran and his undead army. Feeling a sense of duty Gorthalyn after a series of fighting killed Malkoran therefore cleansing the shrine. Meridia gave Gorthalyn Dawnbreaker. Heading back to Fort Dawnguard fate had it that Serana and Gorthalyn had unsettled matters revolving around the Elder Scroll. Doing multiple quest led them into a strong relationship with each other. They had to retrieve all the 3 prophecized Elder Scrolls which they had to find Serana's mother. This mled them into going into the Soul Cairn. After defeating all the Bone Keepers and claiming the throne they sought to read what will allow them to defeat Harkon. Doing a Moth Priest Ritual and reading the scrolls Gorthalyn saw a bow that can harness the powers of the sun.However that's not all he saw, he saw himself going into battle with the dragon he saw all the moons before!  Going into the Forgotten Vale and retrieving the fabled Auriel's Bow was nearing the end of their long quest of defeating Harkon, Isran, Serana, Gorthalyn, and a handful of other dawnguard members led a final assault on Harkon's Castle. Wielding both Dawnbreaker and Auriel's Bow Gorthalyn eventually slayed Harkon. And his quest was over...

    (I might make a more descriptive story of everything if most people think Gorthalyn's story is worth telling. He did became Dragonborn and stopped the World-Eater Afterwards as well if you're wondering)

    i. Alliester Metroth

    ii. 32

    iii. Dragoon

    iiii. Holligale Taevrsted was born in Winterhold of sibling Imperial parents, both of whom were sages of a cult of people with Minotaur blood. She lived to the age of eight in Winterhold, learning the clan's rituals and shamanistic magicks, before she and her parents moved to Chorrol to meet up with another establishment of the cult. Holligale was soon branded with the Cursed Mark of Wilting, awakening her latent Minotaur blood even more and naming her future leader of the cult. However, the cult establishment was soon raided by the Aldmeri Dominion in conjunction with the Imperials, and most of the members were slaughtered, though Holligale managed to hide herself and later escape as the soldiers were burning their warehouse to the ground. Taking a new identity as Alliester Metroth, she went to the Imperial City and received training as a dragoon, a specialized soldier who focuses on agility, kiting, and using quick jabs and mobile spells to end battles without taking damage. At the age of eighteen, ten years after the slaughter of her clan/cult, Alliester was sent with a small detachment to Skyrim to help in the war effort against the Stormcloaks. However, at the border, she had a change of heart and slaughtered the detachment she was sent with, killing the last one as she was entering a clearing.

    Looking up, she found herself making eye contact with a bewildered General Tullius and Ulfric Stormcloak, surrounded by soldiers from both sides, with Ulfric clearly about to surrender. Alliester gave a small grin. What luck that both of her intended enemies would be in one place at the same time! With one hand pulling the life out of herself and the other projecting an exotic stream of crimson energy at the soldiers, she laughed maniacally, her enemies turning their blades towards her and charging...

    Heh heh, it would seems I've had'n a change've style halfway through! Hopesingfully, that's was a acceptably readable description of how she ended up in Skyrim. Of her current goals, she have be plan to restore her cult, but that's 'bout all've I got for her plans'side from training'n magicks. Not a'much what with her level alreadysomes...
