Greetings, sera. Blackblood here with the SECOND return of an old favorite of mine. Quite a while ago I released my very first Character Profile called Blackblood, the Master Templar. It was by far my most powerful playthrough ever; he's the only character I've ever made that made it to level 62, which is a REALLY big deal for me since I usually end up dropping builds somewhere between the 10s and 30s! (Restartitis is a dangerous disease that needs to be made aware of), and he was my most enjoyable playthrough yet. I'd attempted another iteration of him in honor of posting of The Daedric Templars in the original forums, but it never got anywhere with him. Now, as I return to Skyrim from ANOTHER long hiatus, I attempt this once more. And so, without further ado, I present...
"In many of the many corners of Tamriel you see the worship of the Divines. The useless, impotent Gods whom we pray towards to no avail. Praying to them for mercy in our final hour, unanswered as they are, as we stare into the abyss of the end. So then why do we worship that which does nothing for us? That which leaves us to suffer under our own darkness? These hapless sheep hold fast that their belief will save them in the hour of twilight, waiting and praying to nothing to save their souls.
But I believe in what exists, and I believe in power. I believe in the answer. I have seen the fate of humanity through the eyes of darkness, and I prepare. I wait for my opportunity to rip the falsehoods of this world apart. I wait for the chance to show the world where the real power lies, that we may evolve past our foolishness. Let the masses believe in their invisible saviour for now. I will work in the darkness, building power through the one and only source of divine right: The Daedra."

Ararvyne lived as a slave to the Argonians, having been captured during a raid on his home. During his time as a servant he learned the skills he'd need to perfect his subterfuge to improve his standing. It was then that he'd met Jee-Tah, the Argonian that would change his live. Through him he would come to join an underground organization known as the Lost Praetor, who focused on changing the world from behind the scenes. he'd spent a few years within, improving his own skills and finding purpose, when an insurgence occurred within the ranks. Only Ararvyne survived, led to saftey by his former master, and pushed towards Skyrim with his master's last request: "Seek out the Daedric Artifact that holds the knowledge you seek, and there you will find your true destiny."

Hopefully, more people will post things like this. It's very interesting and brings the character to life.
Indeed.
*shrug* Ararvyne only believes in power.
And very dead.
Great profile!! I'm looking forward to interactions with Ararvyne! :D
:UPDATE:
Ararvyne's profile got a new coat of paint after finishing his newest playthrough. :D
