Name: Ajax-Vei
Aliases: Chases-the-Horizon, Ocean-Scales, Walks-the-Shore, Scouts-Darkest-Depths (Current)
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Race: Argonian
Class: Bard
Skills

• Racial Abilities: Claws and Tail, Histskin, Waterbreathing
• Primary Skills: Dodging, Lockpicking, Long Blade
• Secondary Skills: Climbing, Mercantile, Stealth
• Spell List: See Equipment
• Combat Style: Tsaesci Martial Arts. The dual-bladed combat style used by the vampiric man-serpents of Akavir. As stated by the Tsaesci Potentiate in the First Era to Emperor Reman Cyrodiil III: "We don't have shields in our culture. In our country, if you don't want to get hit, you move out of the way.” It is a style that places agility and skill to protect oneself over armor and shields. Traditionally, it has many flashy, acrobatic techniques, and takes full advantage of everything the practitioner has at his disposal, not the very least being that they have a tail and their enemies tend not to.
  
  Ajax-Vei, having learned the style from a series of old documents in ruins hidden deep within Tamriel, has modified it slightly to suit his purposes better. He's stripped away or altered many unnecessarily showy techniques, and combined the style with combat doctrines gleaned from Argonian culture and his battles as a pirate - such as the use of guerrilla tactics and underwater combat, light armor, and sabres instead of katanas - as well as magic via the use of scrolls and enchanted objects found during his travels to 'bring the boom', both literally and metaphorically. In short, it could be said that he took a style well-suited to his race, haphazardly mashed together various loosely-related concepts, and come out of it with something that works surprisingly well.

Equipment

• Weapons: Dual Steel Sabres, 5 Scrolls (1 Dispel Magic, 2 Fire Damage, 1 Shock Damage, 1 Tongues)
• Armor: College Robes; Leather Pauldrons, Vambraces, and Boots; Cloak
• Miscellaneous: Lockpicks, Money, Torches

Background: A pirate, a master of the Akaviri martial arts, a treasure hunter, a historian, an archaeologist, and a scholar of ancient knowledge - Ajax-Vei, currently known under the name 'Scouts-Darkest-Depths', has accomplished many things and experienced so much in his relatively short time on Nirn.

Like most Saxhleel he born in the swamps of the Black Marsh, on the 7th of the Evening Star. From a young age, Ajax-Vei had aspirations of becoming something greater than he was, of living a grand life full of riches and adventure around every corner. However, not everyone thought that this line of thought was a very good one, and they began calling him 'Chases-the-Horizon'. Originally it was a way to mock his so-called 'pipe-dream', an endless pursuit of something impossible to reach, but it soon caught on and became a name Ajax-Vei took pride in. His time in the Black Marsh ended when he set off alone from home into the wilds to sate his wanderlust, to chase that endless horizon.

Ajax-Vei travelled eastward until he reached Soulrest, along the southwestern coast. It was here he managed to persuade the captain to allow him to join the crew of the pirate ship The Storm Treader. Though his stay in Soulrest was short, the many lessons his naive young self learned there would last him a lifetime and save him a great deal of pain and coin.

The rest of his adolescent years - under the name 'Ocean-Scales', given by one who does not understand the ways of the Hist - were spent on the high seas, travelling all across the coasts of Tamriel, seizing goods from merchant ships and learning the tricks of the trade. It was all well and good, he had plenty of coin to throw around and his desire for adventure was adequately sated. Unfortunately their actions attracted the attention of the Empire, who proceeded to send a shop to catch up to them, sink their ship, take them all prisoner, and sail them back to Cyrodiil for prison or execution as necessary. However, Ajax-Vei managed to prevent this fate by reclaiming the ship with the help of his fellow crewmates. They had managed to secure their freedoms, but they were all still wanted men - even more so once news of their escape reached Imperial ears - so they were forced to go their separate ways.

After their great escape, Ajax-Vei aimlessly wandered the lands of Tamriel, taking odd jobs to keep himself going. He took up a new identity. 'Walks-the-Shore', the Argonian pilgrim/mercenary/whatever fits the situation. He had found a calling, and it was taken away from him. This existential crisis didn't last long, however. Ajax-Vei took up a relatively innocuous job. Escort a group of scholars into an Akaviri ruin and assist in locating new findings. Simple enough. Paid well too. Little did he know it would be the job that would inspire the direction of his life from that day forth.

With his new calling in hand, Ajax-Vei took to delving into ancient ruins and scouring the ends of the Tamriel to search for treasures long-lost and knowledge forgotten, whether for himself, a client, or the highest bidder.

As I mentioned earlier, Ajax-Vei is definitely inspired by the likes of Indiana Jones and Edward Kenway, which is evident in pretty much any way you look at it. He's also definitely the kind of dude that would go and work for Hermaeus Mora in exchange for endless dark and eldritch knowledge.

No idea which Intrinsic Class he falls into properly, so I went with Bard because of the whole 'Bards tell history' thing, and the fact that they're the Jack of All Trades class. Plus in DnD, Bards have 'Use Magic Device', which is very fitting. My other options were Thief, Burglar, and Rogue. If anyone thinks one of those/something else is a better fit, speak up.

Also, Swimming isn't a skill because he's a bloody Argonian. Same for Ettiquette and Streetwise. Argonians in lore aren't good with the whole social nuance aspect. Best stick to waving moneys around with Mercantile.

Don't worry vortex, you'll be able to leave for a while and continue whenever you want or can

Accepted grey, let me add your character to the cast and I'll get to writting the IC. Bard is great, and for the "use magic" you might want to know that you can re-use the scrolls (several times also) if you pay a member of the mages guild. And well, it seems a bit of cheating to put swimming likea racial skill, fair enough, but you'll be dissapointed to hear that argonians do not have poison and disease inmunity in Daggerfall, so you'll still have to watch yourself around spiders and snakes

Okay everyone give me some time and we will commence

Open post done, I hope you guys don't mind that I took the freedom to locate your characters in their starting points as I saw fitting.

You guys can follow the course of action that you want. If it wasn't clear enough, you guys are not starting at the same time

i hope you liked my post
