    Tidings viewer from beyond the Veil... I am Argonian. Well, not entirely... As you may know, we Argonians are created by the Hist: a sentient tree-like hive native to Argonia. Our form and knowledge is given to us by the sap of the Hist, and in return, we protect the Hist; however, with me, I was created from the sleeping tree in Whiterun Hold. This tree was different from the others: younger, darker, more intuned to the nearby shadows... My tree was made from a sapling that fell from the floating island of Umbriel. Aside from giving me my form, it also gave me a forsight greater than my fellow kin. I was faster, stronger, and more agile than my bretherine. I grew into a powerful unarmed hunter, hungry for the flesh and blood of fallen enemies, even those of my "kin"... I became a Vampire and grew in power, learning the special blood magic that this tree gave me: being able to turn my life force into a never-ending stream of magicka, forcing the blood of my enemies to boil, sending them into a frenzy, absorbing the blood of my foes to heal me, and even tieing their soul unto mine, enthralled by my voice and unable to ignore my commands. I am referredd to by many names: The Shade, Umbra Incarnate, Bloodied Newt... Just remember this: If you can feel a guiver in your veins:

    Interesting. I'll have to see a bit more of this, but I already dig the basic concept. A bunch of us from the Workshop actually made a build that used a similar starting point (The Hist Seed connection with Umbriel) but you've taken a different and really interesting way that I can't wait to see more of.

    I like the premise as well Midnight, very unique. Did the Fang grow up in the city, or in isolation nearby? Just because an Argonian living in the city is strange, but one as unique as this with an apparent thirst for blood ... it could be a bit difficult to blend in.

    And what are the goals of the character, I'm guessing something about liverating the tree from its Nord abusers?
