Sorry the couple of days turned into a couple of weeks, was busier than I thought I'd be. Let me know if you want me to change anything.

[hider]Name: Elliot Ashton

Age: Seventeen 

Race: Breton

Appearance: Elliot stands around five foot ten and has a slightly chubby frame, he has started to look slimmer since becoming a squire but nowhere near to the shape he needs to be if he’s to become a knight. Saying that though, he has lost a lot of weight since childhood where he was a really fat child. Elliot has a mop of messy hair that is a dark blonde colour that just goes just past his ears that stick out. He has emerald green eyes and a nose that is just a bit too big for his face. His smile is nice though and makes him look friendly and open. 

Personality: Elliot can be very nervous when first meeting new people and being in situations that he’s not used to but since leaving Daggerfall he’s started to come out of his shell a bit more. Although he is quite clever, he can lack a bit of common sense and not realise when someone is being sarcastic with him. He usually tries his best to help people with their problems, from a young age his mother read him stories about heroes and it’s filled his head with ideas of being a hero himself.

Skills: From a fighting and adventuring stand point doesn’t really have many skills having grown up having most things handed to him. The past few years though he has been learning how to fight with a sword and shield and how to use a bow. He’s shown that he is quite useful with the bow but from an experience standpoint he’s never actually killed anyone and only fired arrows at a target. Elliot is great at horse riding being a natural at it. He can play the lute and has a wonderful singing voice.

Magic: Has never really practised magic. 

Personal items: Elliot at the time of being arrested was wearing some expertly crafted leather armour that was created by some of the best tailors in Daggerfall. Also, they didn’t remove his ear studs that had emeralds in them.

Lock Box: The only items that Elliot had on him at the time of being arrested was a steel long sword and a few gold coins.

Stored items: The rest of his items are kept at the inn he stayed in and his horse is in the stables just outside of the city. Which would be a well designed set of steel armour with elaborate patterns crafted into it, his steel long bow and quiver and also a lute. 

Background: Elliot grew up in one of the richest families in Daggerfall, the Viralaines. His mother, Luciana was the daughter of the head of the family, Theranis. Theranis was one of the most powerful men in Daggerfall so it was a massive shock throughout the city when his daughter was pregnant. She had fallen in love with a travelling bard who was playing at court. When her father found out he was furious and threw the bard in jail and was planning on executing him but Luciana managed to convince him not to.

After Elliot was born, Theranis tried to marry Luciana to any other respectable man in Daggerfall but none were willing to take a woman with a bastard son as a wife. Luciana tried to marry the father of her son, Timothee, but every priest in the city was too scared to anger her father. They used to meet in secret whenever they could because her father would never let him anywhere near the Daggerfall court again. Timothee rented a room above a tavern and played there most nights to pay for it so he could continue to see Luciana and their son. 

As Elliot grew up living in the wealthiest district of Daggerfall, he was a bit of an outcast being a bastard and surrounded by children who weren’t. It also didn’t help that he was fat, shy and didn’t practise and in the ways of becoming a knight to the annoyance of his grandfather. His father didn’t agree with war and wanted his son to learn a craft that was peaceful and from an early age taught him how to play the lute and sing. However, the influence of his grandfather was too great and when he turned thirteen, he started to learn the ways of war. For the next few years Elliot started to practise how to fight with sword and shield, how to ride a horse and use a bow. It took him a while to become semi competent. 

When he turned sixteen, his grandfather sent him to squire for a knight to get some real-world experiences. The knight was called Sir Alard and he came from a very well-respected family but a poor one. Personally, he took it as a but of an insult that his squire was a bastard but couldn’t say no to Theranis as he needed the money. They set off travelling around High Rock and then headed to Cyrodill and to the Imperial City where Alard could test his skills in the Arena. Accompanying the two was a servant who cooked and set up their camp when they were not staying in a city or town. Sir Alard treated them both awfully and beat them when they messed up, he didn’t really care about what they thought, believing he was better than both of them. When they reached the Imperial City, they stayed in a very average inn and spent most of their evenings in the Daggerfall Dan’s Bar and Grill. When the trouble erupted the servant was pushed into Sir Alard who then started to beat him. The servant finally snapped and pulled the dagger from around Alards waist and stabbed him in the stomach, it didn’t take long for him to die. Elliot was in a state of shock when he was arrested and taken to the dungeons.[/hider]
