A Tale of Scales: Character Profiles
Author's Note: Wow it's been a while since I got to post anything. Took a break from working on this since the workload for the Semester got bigger and bigger as things went on. Break has finally arrived, though, and so here I am! This'll be the last profile before the actual story begins.
Farrak
A little bit about the creation of Farrak: Farrak came up a bit suddenly when playing Oblivion. I had the urge to make a Rogue-ish character, and after finding out about the Shadowscale organization, I decided to go with an Argonian. I really wasn't sure "who" I wanted him to be, when it comes to personality, right away. His personality and character really developed as I played him more and thought on how he would react to certain quests in the game, that kinda thing.
Physical appearance/attributes: Farrak stands at six feet, two inches tall. His scale coloration is mainly a red-orange with occasional dark patches that appear to be more of a violet. On his face, covering the area around his eyes and most of his snout, his scales are a teal-green, standing out from the rest of him. His eyes match the green that surrounds them, being of a similar shade. For "hair", Farrak has a single small fin that starts close to the back of his head, and travels down towards his neck. While not being able to match Laerak and Vaex in physical strength, Farrak is still relatively well-muscled, and makes up for his slight lack of strength through his agility. Farrak is twenty-seven years old at the start of the story.
Background/History: When Farrak was discovered by his father, he was "born" under the sign of the Shadow, and so he was destined to join the Shadowscale organization. He did not join the group while he was still a hatchling, as his father wished to have him with his family for a few years before leaving. He left to join them while he was still in his mid-teens. During his time training with the Shadowscales, he excelled in his classes, easily picking up on subjects and skills that would normally take much more experience to master. He was able to outperform just about any other student there, and was able to even challenge some of his instructors. The Shadowscales took note of this, and once Farrak had aged a few years more, sent him out on a private assignment which took him to Cyrodil. He was sent to survey the nation, take note of various political issues arising, and all-around "keep an eye on" the province, as they are a neighboring nation to Blackmarsh. Upon his arrival he quickly met up with the Dark Brotherhood establishment there and worked with them for some time as well. He also eventually joined up with the Thieve's Guild, however he was not as experienced in the arts of thievery as he was in assassinations. During one of his first visits, he attempted a heist to steal a rare amulet from a jewelery merchant in the Imperial City. He had underestimated the organization and numbers of the guard force, though, and found himself barely making it away from them. During his escape, he, by chance, ran into his brother, Laerak, and they were both quite surprised to see one another. Laerak helped Farrak to escape, only because he did not wish to see his brother imprisoned. After his failed heist, Farrak quickly made a name for himself in Cyrodil, easily becoming a renowned thief and assassin, even managing to steal an Elder Scroll from the White-Gold Tower.
Personality: Farrak is very sarcastic and very much the joker of the group. He loves a good laugh, and he doesn't always mind it's at another person's expense. While he can be serious at times, he is generally light-hearted, and likes to play tricks on people. It's be said that if not for how skilled he is, he would've been dead multiple times over with how cocky he can be.
