@gcold, @Leidenschaft Finally, I think my character is ready. I have expanded his biography to include a reason for his name and updated his skills list and equipment. I have slightly altered the wording in the Skills section to make it more sensible.
Basic Information
Name: Felix aep Caileach (real surname Trentius)
Race: Imperial
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Birthsign: The Steed
Place of origin: Leyawiin, Cyrodiil
Appearance:
Felix aep Caileach is about six feet two, or about 185 centimeters tall. He is a handsome young man with slightly slender features, and after few weeks of martial life he has gained some athleticism. He's not very muscled or big-figured, but he's fast and agile. He has brown short hair and green eyes. His face has a long scar running from right temple to the jaw.
Background:
Felix was born to the Trentius family, who are prominent merchants and cultivators of arts and sciences. Felix was given the best education the family could afford from a very young age. In his teens Felix became an avid student of history and a novice bard, who had a reputation of visiting young and beautiful women at night time for "extracurricular activity". Due to this he has some skill with stealth. He also trained cartwheels and other acrobatic tricks in his childhood.
During his late teens during the Skyrim's Civil War, Felix took a part in a small protest against a hated tax that was thought to be unnecessary. An imperial patrol tried to control the crowd, but soon the protest flared up and casualties were suffered on both sides. He took a wound from a shortsword to his face and almost died, but he was saved by a Breton healer named Caileach that also took part in the skirmish. Caileach had personal reasons not to like the Empire, but he didn't share those with Felix. The Breton helped Felix to recover and escape.
Felix fled from Leyawiin to Skyrim, assuming a new surname, aep Caileach to create a new identity. Felix escaped for the fear of imperial authorities and started to earn a living as a bard, even enrolling to the Bards' College for a term. After finishing his term, Felix traveled across Skyrim singing songs and telling tales of Dragonborn's deeds, but as the Dragonborn's tyranny continued and he became more disliked, Felix dropped those from his repertoire. In many taverns he is considered a talented lute player and a singer, but horrible at poetry and playing with dice.
One night, Felix played his lute in the Bannered Mare tavern in Whiterun. After a successful concert and an encore, many customers and locals bought him a few drinks and toasted for him several times. Soon, Felix was drunk. In the Bannered Mare was also a recruiter who looked for able young men and supplies for the Dragonborn's campaign against the Forsworn. Felix boasted to the recruiter that he could chronicle the campaign and fight at the same time, and so they struck a contract.
On the following morning Felix found himself with a hangover in a wagon bound for Markath. After arriving to Markath he bought his equipment with the money he had left. After that, they headed to the meeting point between Markath and Karthwasten. For the last two weeks, Felix has been trying to grasp the basics of soldiering and fighting with a weapon at hand.
Personality:
Born into wealth, Felix has hardly done any physical labour besides travelling in his life. He often wants to have some luxuries in his life or hopes of getting some in his immediate future, although mercenary life has humbled him as a person. Felix' experiences as a travelling bard have given him a taste for extravagance and good company.
One of the reasons why he hasn't deserted the mercenary company is because he wants to keep his word and to detail his adventures as a mercenary. Felix tries to keep his word as best as he can, but sometimes he speaks perhaps too eagerly, getting into trouble for his mouth. He acts sometimes without thinking everything through.
Felix enjoys good company, drinking and parties.
Felix wants to do the right thing and he is naive to an extend, although his world view has been expanded and evolved from the time he was in Leyawiin by his travels and experiences.
Capabilities
Skills:
Expert in Speech
Adept in Mercantile and Acrobatics
Apprentice in Sneak, One-handed blunt weapons and Light armour
Novice in Hand-to-hand, One-handed bladed weapons and Medium armour.
Weaknesses:
Nervous: Many soldiers have nerves of steel in the heat of battle, but Felix gets nervous easily.
Inexperienced: Felix lacks many of the basic skills a soldier needs, but is learning quickly by trial and error.
Even the Lady Luck has mood swings: Felix has the uncanny ability of jumping from the frying pan into the fire without a burn or scratch, and ending up either ambushed or falling to the arms of a beautiful woman. This doesn't mean Felix doesn't get injured ever, but he is prone of walking or talking himself into trouble.
Relations to other characters: Felix has lots of fair weather friends all around Skyrim, but not really anyone he call a true friend.
Affiliations: Neutral
Spells: None
Combat style: None at the moment, but Felix is trying to learn how to fight a battle-axe and shield.
Other capabilities: He is a charismatic person and a capable negotiator.
Inventory
Cash: 100 Septims
Keys and lockpicks: None
Clothing and armor: Boiled leather brigandine-like jerkin and a wool shirt beneath it, a thick wool cloak, two cotton trousers, four pairs of wool socks and leather boots. He bought the brigandine at Markath.
Weapons and ammunition: A steel battle-axe ornamented with runes, a steel dagger and a wooden round shield that has a silvery griffin painted on it. The shield seems to have been belonged to someone before him, as the shield is battered. He was given the weapons by the recruiter for a small price.
Potion and arcane supplies: None at the moment.
Jewelry and novelty items: A lute, a set of dice and an amulet of Talos
Books and documents: A manuscript titled The Devils of the Reach and a copy of his contract.
Food, drinks and provisions: Ingredients for porridge, some dark ale and bread with him.
Bags, pouches and packs: A large backpack made from cloth and strips of leather.
Other: Nothing comes to mind. I think I have finished my character building.
