A small community of rare Akaviri people were one of few groups of open resistance fighters just outside of Western Cyrodiil. Along with the Imperial and Redguard Resistance movements, they waged a guerrilla war on any Aldmeri Dominion supply convoys or troops that passed through their lands. Needless to say, this considerably pissed off the Thalmor... Their response was a mass murder. While the resistance forces were baited away to deal with a small Aldmeri army, Thalmor agents rode into settlements known to house the rebel soldiers and killed everybody. Men, women and children were slaughtered, regardless of their involvement with the resistance. The settlements were torched. The soldiers were then killed in an ambush on their way home. There were no survivors of the 'purge'... Save for one. Koizumi Aria. Born to a pureblood Akaviri mother and a Breton father she never knew, the little wannabe-Blade was liked by many of her teachers and elders for her fiery spirit. The kid enjoyed to play fight with all her friends, pretending they were soldiers, but she would have no idea what true cost war had until the Thalmor came... Cradled in her dying mother's arms until the Thalmor left, Aria was the sole survivor of the Akaviri massacre. She was left there, alone, in the burned down sanctuary in which she grew up. The people she knew and loved were all dead. The poor child sat and cried for hours on end, unable to do anything, without knowing where to go or what to do. Her life had come to a complete standstill, and if somebody didn't happen along and find her, she probably would have died waiting in the graveyard village. As fortune would have it, an Akaviri man who hadn't been present at the time of the massacre came to check out the smoking ruin. He found little Aria crying amongst the corpses and convinced her to leave with him, to go somewhere safe. Since that day, Aria was in constant training as a member of the Imperial Resistance. It so turned out that the man who'd found her was a Blademaster, who knew and practiced the Akaviri sword styles with great proficiency. By the age of twelve, Aria was skilled enough to mock-kill all of her fellow initiates with a wooden sword. By the age of sixteen, she and her friends were true Resistance members. Again, war was waged on the Aldmeri Dominion and Thalmor troops in attempt to push them out of Cyrodiil and Daggerfall. With no family ties or bonds outside of the resistance, there was very little space for the Aldmeri to fight back against their highly effective enemy. The only option was to commit a full military campaign against the rebels, to find their hideout and to destroy them completely. This escalated conflict quickly stole many of Aria's comrades from her, leaving only a handful of young war heroes. Due to her size and nearly innocent appearance at the time, the Thalmor and the Resistance took to calling her 'Rabbit'. This soon became paired with 'Red' or 'Bloody'. Nobody could understand how the youth was so talented in battle, and it scared the hell out of friend and foe. Aria was such an infamous killer because she had nothing else left... Times changed, the war couldn't go anywhere. The Resistance wouldn't be destroyed, and the Thalmor definitely wouldn't back down. By the time she was eighteen, Aria had already lost too many beloved comrades to skirmishes with the enemy. And around the same time, her teacher, the Blademaster, was captured and executed in public. War was tiring on her mind and soul, so she did what she felt she had to - she left to try and start a new life, where perhaps she might not feel haunted by death every waking minute. She changed her surname to her apparent father's and cut most of her ties with the resistance movement. A year passed by, and she decided to start up the Odd Jobs in Whiterun. Doing people a service would make her look so much calmer and at ease with the world. But on the inside, Aria will never change, and she'll never forget the death or the losses. They weigh on her heart, but it doesn't show anymore.

They were an inseparable bunch throughout their training, until they were old enough to fight and got put to the test in battle with Thalmor enforcers... Their bond was strained. For four years they fought, losing friends at every turn. Aria Koizumi the 'Bloody Rabbit', Haruyoshi Sano the 'Wind of Death' and Lucian the Pale were the only three who are still alive to this day. Haru is the only one of the three who continues to strike at the Thalmor. Aria and Haru both being of Akaviri origin has bonded them as close friends since the moment they met as children of war. Together they were the best swords in the Resistance... Of course, they would never settle on who was 'officially' the best and would usually end up fighting over the title. As the war went on, Aria grew more distant to everyone emotionally, and instead became very protective of each them without a word said. Haru couldn't understand it until the day she left - she had failed to defend her friends, that's why she couldn't stay and lose Haru as well. But, to this day, Sano Haruyoshi remains one of the most skilled fighters in the Resistance movement. Haru's group has been moved to Skyrim, where there is a large Thalmor presence. Keeping their base of operations a secret, they begin to strike whenever they can.[/hider] [hider=Lucian the Pale] [B]Name:[/B] Lucian [B]Aliases:[/B] 'the Pale', 'Captain' [B]Race:[/B] Imperial [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Age:[/B] 23 [B]Appearance:[/B] [IMG]http://s25.postimg.org/wtm0px13z/Lucian.jpg[/IMG] [B]Faction:[/B] Imperial Resistance (Formerly), Far Horizons Trading Company [B]Weapons:[/B] :: Skyforged Longsword (From ze image.
