It was roughly the year the Aldmeri Dominion finally retreated from my homeland, so the circumstances of the previous war and political struggles never really crossed my way. Being a nomad my life probably did not differ much from that of the average Redguard. That started to change however when I discovered not only my talent, but my greed for the secret and how to break it. So let's just say my parents weren't all too happy when someday I decided to leave Hammerfell and go to Cyrodiil for the sake of more adventure and less boredom. I'm still maintaining good relations to them, but a less arid and more densily populated region is just so much more favorable for further developing the skills I taught myself... under slightly dubious circumstances. [b]What was the most difficult decision you've ever had to make ?[/b] Unlike what some people I bumped into during my various endeavours might claim I [i]have[/i] work ethics. These forbid me to do things that are out of balance in order to reach my goals, so a seemingly simple theft and reconnaissance job should not end up with any dead bodies caused by me in order to bail myself out of a situation gone wrong. There was one occasion however when I had no proof about my employers good and important intentions, but I was so convinced that I indeed opted to pull through with violence for the sake of 'success'. I obtained the item and knowledge in question, but since then I sometimes feel as if I have lost something more important that night. [b]Tell me how other people would describe you ?[/b] 'Inconspicuous' might be a good term to describe it I think. Most people probably don't imagine that there's anything else noteworthy about me than my unusual outer appearance. They turn their heads, but pretty much don't care about me otherwise. That is, of course, unless they know about how I earn my living: Those having employed me often did so not because they wanted just 'anybody', but because the good part of my humble reputation had already reached out to them. Those who encountered my more hidden self otherwise... well I think I've left them behind quite afraid. [b]What are your outside interests ?[/b] I like to come around -- not only people, but also just nature. It's not like we'd have much of that in the Alik'r desert and my travel list has become quite long. Aside from this I'm an avid consumer of more expensive spirits, but don't think I'd be drunk every other day! And last but not least I have a faible for mechanics and mathematics. [b]What are your greatest strengths ?[/b] I tend to be underestimated. Most people think that Redguards are tough people who prefer to operate at the frontline as warriors. Measured by these standards I, being of ludicrous height but not overly burly, do fit neither into this scheme [i]nor[/i] into that of the scoundrel. They think they could break me like a branch, but I'm a branch with a pointy end that sneaks up to them right in that big blind spot that is their insufficient imagination. I just do things a little differently than my colleagues and while I can't do everything they can do there are also things they can't do but I can. You gotta pick the right contracts for you, alright ? If asked what I'd deem my greatest virtue however I'd say that it is my attitude. I've seen others for which greater experience in their business also meant mental degradation in the form of deadened feelings and a diminished sense for what is right and what is wrong. It's this kind of things which make the world a place more ugly than it needs to be and they also can get you into unnecessary trouble. I don't like to say that I'd be immune to this, but at least I can say that I've been doing comparably well in that respect so far. [b]What are your weaknesses ?[/b] The silent tongue that's important for my business is prone to stand in my way otherwise. I might very well be a bit too much of an introvert in order to socialize easily. Small talk ? It's okay if the situation is accordingly casual, but I can't do it on purpose in order to massage someone's ears. So please don't send me to a damn trader in order to get a good price for the guild's needs. Send me for the full price or send me for the nonexistant price if you get what I mean. Oh... and [i]please[/i] don't make me pick up any of those swords, maces or axes everyone's so fond of. I know which end to point at the enemy, but I strongly prefer doing stuff with my own hands. [b]What are your aspirations for the future ?[/b] Frankly ? Wealth and an occupation to keep me busy once I've become too old to do what I do today. Magic sounds good for that, maybe I should dig more into that. Yes, I know, my kind is ought to dislike that stuff, but I don't care because some of it is so useful. [b]Why do you want to join this guild ?[/b] In recent time I've grown a little tired of the unregular stream of coin that comes with my style of employment so far. I hope that with a guild around me things will become a little more steady. Might also be a good opportunity to learn a few more things and to do some advertisement for myself -- by good work, of course. [b]What are your expectations of the guild ?[/b] Umm... mutual respect, I guess ? Though I wouldn't be surprised if there'd be some boss around to toss nasty duties towards his or her subordinates. However then it would always be the same boss and not the broad and hard to learn variety of people I had to deal with so far. A nice play to stay would also be good to have, though I wouldn't dare to expect any luxury.
