Going to place this here as we fill up, to make my territory so to speak. Comments and criticism are encouraged as I work.

[b]Name:[/b] Sigrid "Shield-Breaker"
[b]Age:[/b] 26
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Race:[/b] Nord
[b]Birthsign:[/b] The Warrior
[b]Appearance:[/b] Sigrid is a woman of powerful build, who stands just under six foot in height and commands the presence one would suspect of somebody that size. Her skin, pale as the snowy winters of her home, is pocked with angry pink scar tissue from engagements long passed, including a fairly deep pair of lines that cross the center of her face. Eyes of cold blue shine like ice as they stare out upon the world, unforgiving and unyielding in their disposition. Her mahogany colored hair, whilst kept long, is pulled back on all sides and tried into a long, intricate braid that hangs down to the nape of her neck. Though she normally forsakes such things, Sigrid wears a pair of earrings hewn of seal bone and carved with runes.

[b]Biography:[/b] A summary of their past. Doesn't have to be very long. The main purpose of this section is to give your character a plausible reason to be sent on this mission; ask yourself "why has Hector Sibassius selected them and how does he know (of/about) them?" and provide a solid answer.

[b]Personality:[/b] 

[b]Skills:[/b] Sigrid is an accomplished warrior, boasting an impressive mastery of two-handed weaponry, skillful usage of the sword-and-shield fighting of the Empire's legions, and a passable knowledge of archery. She is athletic and conditioned to fight in light armor, preferring the unencumbered protection it provides over heavier suits. She also has an adept knowledge of smithing, but lacks the training to do much more than forge simple steel, or more than standard upkeep on equipment. As a Nord, her superstitions lead her to avoid practicing any forms of magic, and she is not much capable of learning it regardless.

[b]Equipment:[/b] 

[u]Body:[/u] Sigrid wears a suit of scale armor over her plain clothing, including a hauberk that drapes low enough to cover her legs, bracers and greaves to protect her arms and legs and a helmet adorned with the horns of a yak. An amulet of Talos hangs from her neck, tucked under her clothing and armor against her chest.

[u]Back:[/u] Her main armament, a fierce looking battleaxe forged in the orcish style, hangs from a strap across her back. The heavy, crude weapon is affectionately called "Blood-Drinker" because of its tendency to [url=http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Absorb_Health_(Skyrim)]soak in the crimson essence[/url] of those it cleaves. A finely polished steel shield rests along her back beneath this, the metal unblemished to show its general lack of usage by comparison.

[Indent][u]Bag:[/u] A rugged back hung along her lower back contains the odds and ends of traveling. Several days rations in dried meats, two bottles of mead, a couple of stray gemstones and the odd tool for armor repair among the mundane. More notably, she possesses five petty soul gems, two lesser soul gems, two minor health potions, a potion of cure disease and a ragged copy of [i]The Last Scabbard of Akrash[/i].[/indent]

[u]Belt:[/u] A matching pair of weapons hang from her sword belt. The first, an aptly placed sword forged of fine steel in the Nordish style and the second, a smaller dagger of the very same make. She also keeps a small pouch containing fifty-four gold septims hooked in a loop off the belt.
