My current character is Viro, a Dark Seducer from the Shivering Isles. He's an Agent born under the sign of the Thief. His story is as follows: After the portal to the Shivering Isles arrived off the shores of Bravil, and the defeat of the Gatekeeper, and after Sheogorath's death, a sudden influx of curious adventurers and hopefuls set off for the strange land. Of course, many of the Shivering Isles residents departed with Sheogorath's plain of Oblivion because of growing frustration with the new Cyrodiillic Madgod. Viro was fulfilling his duties at the time as a well-trained guard, and had been assigned to protect ambassadors and diplomats visiting the Shivering Isles. Constant political changed continued to spark new discrepancies with civilians, and fuelled old frustration. Eventually, a haphazard attempt at revolution brought on by a group of disheartened residents (aka Crazies) resulted in full Cyrodiillic intervention. Guards traversed into the Madness plains and clashed with both the locals and the practices of the Seducers and Saints. Viro witnessed atrocities on both sides of the developing civil war, and quickly became disgusted with his socio-economic position and the Empire's bald attempts at converting the Shivering Isles into a Oblivion-realm branch of government. Viro resigned from his post as diplomat guard; having made connections with officials in Bravil, he fled the Shivering Isles to settle in Cyrodiil, staying in Bravil, as he preferred the warm, humid climate similar to that of the Shivering Isles. After a few months, traffic between Bravil and the portal to the Shivering Isles was so intense that Bravil's population doubled with tourists and adventurers waiting to enter into the Plains of Madness. Viro was evicted from his shack and arrested, being charged with illegally entering the city of Bravil and not being properly documented as a citizen of Cyrodiil (he was never given any official documents as such a thing was unnecessary). He was shipped off, far south to Blackwood, ordered to complete a sentence of intensive manual labour. After completing his sentence, he returned to the Imperial City a "full citizen." Viro's new ~criminal~ record made finding a job nearly impossible (he was an alchemist's assistant in Bravil). With few options, he became a rogue agent, working mainly as a spy for the government that had caused him so much trouble; however, this is a small price to pay as it is all a part of a master plan to form a coup that would bring the Shivering Isles under localised rule and improved law and order. I think it's a decent story c:
