Zaexii Danei
Prophet, 20, 8 years
Personality Solitary. First and foremost, Zaexii is ever the loner. She barely even belongs to the Dark Brotherhood family, though she is loyal to them steadfastly. You will find her watching any social activity going on, off to the side with a book in her hand and her eyes always paying attention. Along with that comes her quiet behavior. She isn't much for talk, usually only commenting with a witty remark or sarcastic comment when spoken to, if that. "Yes" and "No" are something she will give freely, however. Just because she prefers not to speak doesn't mean she doesn't have a voice, after all. If your ignorance is something even she can't ignore that sparks her to speak up, you know you're being stupid. Another thing one will notice about this dark elf is her strange habit of becoming invisible- so maybe it's something you won't notice. She tends to blend in very well, which is strange for a dark elf that lives in the land of Nords. Easily overlooked, she becomes naught but a shadow, barely there but certainly paying attention. You will also find her to be a plethora of information for any meeting that she witnesses. She could tell you the most minute detail that you would never think of paying attention to. Perhaps that what gives her an edge as an Assassin. What repels people away from her the most, however, is her indifference. It is rare for anyone to ever see any emotion cross her face, other than the faintest of humor. Compassion, fear, worry, regret; it seems to be all absent from her, making her rather a scary opponent to face down. Of course this is not the case; Z is just so withdrawn that she doesn't express anything that she feels. She tends to ignore them, really. She finds them to be rather irritating and impeding upon her survival. History Zaexii was born in Skyrim, just on the outskirts. Her parents had just arrived there when her mother gave birth; however she didn't survive to see her baby girl enter Tamriel. Thereofre Zaexii Danei was raised by her father, Ureten, on his lonesome, traveling around Skyrim by keeping off of the roads on his sturdy mare that he admittedly stole from one of the holds. Around five years of age they finally settled up in Solitude, living in a room in the Inn and keep to himself. That's where the Assassin learned to keep to herself; from her father, whom she always was proud of. For many years, nothing eventful happened. While Solitude was heavy with the presence of Imperial soldiers, this small family of two managed to keep out of notice and concurrently out of trouble. It was one of the benefits of being the loner type; you don't get bothered. At the age of eight, Ureten taught his daughter how to hold a dagger; she was proficient enough to at least protect herself and run away within that same year. He slowly began teaching her how to tame her destruction magic, which also didn't take long for her to get the basics of. Zaexii was an astute listener, and a superb student. She caught on quickly. She will admit that in her younger years, she was quite the thief. Always being ignored had its advantages after all, and it was really only food from the market stalls that she stole. Anything else she had no use for, so why bother stealing it? Her father knew, but he just shrugged it off. He'd done worse, and as long as she wasn't caught, it wasn't a big deal. More years ticked by and the things that were happening in the rest of Skyrim were beginning to become a problem they couldn't ignore. When she was fifteen (having been using the bow for three years at this point, proficient enough with the dagger but hadn't gotten any further with her magic), they left Solitude and attempted to stay out of harm's way by travelling the region's less traveled roads. They lived like that for one full year, during which time the rebellion was getting ever stronger, and more hectic. Unfortunately for the pair of dark elves, they got caught in a clash between the Imperials and the Stormcloaks; they quickly fled, after an arrow embedded itself in Ureten's side, and a Stormcloak soldier had fallen right into her horse, Zet, knocking her off and nearly getting her trampled. Zet ended the soldier's life, then scooped back up his rider and managed to get her out of the fray. Her father didn't survive the night. Zaexii wasn't even able to mourn for him, or bury his body; the survivors of the brawl had begun searching for them, and she didn't want to get ensnared in the civil war. Setting free her father's mare, taking his bow and saying her last goodbye, she and Zet fled into the night, keeping out of all of the Major Holds for years. At eighteen she stumbled across the Dark Brotherhood. It was mostly because they had heard of her; she killed any whom she thought would get in her way, without second thought of whom they were or what the consequences would be. Nobody really saw her drifting through Skyrim, anyways. What really got their attention was the accidental kill she stole, a bandit that tried his way with her and got her irritated. He died by her dagger, and when the Assassins found out their target had been reached before them, they investigated. She was quickly taken in, and has served for them for two years since. | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style,border-radius: 0px 0px 20px 20px;] Character Name. Zaexii Danei Age. Twenty-two years old Race. Dunmer [Dark Elf] Sexuality. Hetero Faction, Army, or Allegiance. Dark Brotherhood Occupation. Assassin Werewolf or Vampire. N/A Major Skills. ][ Sneak- As a Dunmer, sneaking is in her blood. She has always found herself being overlooked and otherwise ignored, for her quiet disposition makes her blend into the background. She has the lightest footing, the quietest of breath; she has trained herself that way. She made sure she was one of the least noticed people in Skyrim. ][ Archery- Another thing Zaexii has really put some work into is her skills with a bow. Since she prefers her solitude, she figured she'd be best using ranged attacks; it was most likely fit her style. She was right, as she picked up on the skill quite well, and now never travels without her bow. ][ Light Armor- What kind of Assassin would clunk around in heavy steel armor? Not this dark elf. She's always preferred sturdy yet pliable armor, like leather or elven armor. It's easier to hide in, easier to run in; and much more comfortable, as well. ][ Destruction- As a dark elf, she has an inherent affinity for destructive magic. Personally, Z has found that she prefers fire over anything else. She uses it only for when she's found trapped in a close-combat battle. Weapons, Armor, and Belongings. ][ Zet- One of the few creatures (person or otherwise) that Zaexii has actually gotten attached to, after her father. Zet is her horse, having acquired him as a foal and raised him since. She is quite fond of him, and makes sure he is out of harm's way; even though he is determined to attack anything that attacks her. ][ Glass Bow of Burning- Her most prized weapon, Zaexii is never seen without her bow. She managed to salvage it from her father, before he was murdered, and protects it almost as much as she protects Zet. ][ Silver Necklace of Major Archery- Something that she picked up after completing one of her first few contracts, the poor individual had it lying around her house. She saw it and snagged it for herself. She is always wearing it, keeping it underneath her armor as a reminder to herself of her position as an Assassin. ][ Steel dagger- Zaexii knows the benefits of having a backup weapon. She always makes sure she has a dagger on her, even settling on iron if there's nothing else available. It's just a plain old dagger, too, no enchantments or anything sneaky. |
