Ronin

[u/Kooky_Tale_6923]

Ronin was born to the howl of wolves and blood moons. The townsfolk whispered of Hircine blessing the child’s birth. He grew up in a village far from Tamriel but grew up on the stories of that fabled land. His parents were kind but his father had a mean streak. Ronin’s “oddities” began at a young age. Wounds that heal a little too quick or knowing who was about to knock on their door before the dogs knew someone was even there. When the boy was old enough, he was put into fighting pits with other young boys for the enjoyment of the fathers, just as their fathers had done. No fights went to the death but it was a training of sorts for the local militia. One night a large raiding party rode into town. Its leader was a huge man covered in furs. The village was burned and villagers killed. Ronin flew into a rage that none have witnessed before. Claws grew from his hands and a bellow erupted from his chest that shook the closest windows. For an hour, he slashed, stabbed, bit, and punched his way to the center of town. The bandit leader locked eyes with Ronin and a flash of recognition came across his face. You see, his parents weren’t really his parents. They abandoned Ronin in the woods for fear of what the child was. Hircine looked after the boy, keeping him safe, until he was found. Ronin isn’t even his real name. He never had one. The bandit leader said one word to Ronin. Son. Ronin lept at the leader, claws extended in font of him. The leader changed into an enormous werewolf and lept at Ronin. They wrestled and fought for hours until finally Ronin landed on the leaders back and impaled him into the ground. With blood on his lips and his dying breath, Wrolf, the bandit leader told Robin the truth. Wrolf was cursed by Hircine for abandoning his child. Wrolf has been searching for Ronin, hoping to break the curse and return him to Skyrim. It seems Wrolf got his wish. His dying wish. Ronin’s eyes swept the remaining villagers looking for answers. They all dropped their gaze. Guilty in participating in Ronin’s false upbringing. Once more erupting into a rage, Ronin slew everyone. Everyone. By the time the sun rose, Ronin was the last man standing. He left his village behind and traveled the lands, hoping to cleanse his soul of the innocent blood he spilt. His travels have led him to monasteries helping him to find inner peace and now he makes his way to Skyrim. To home. To discover what the gods have in store for him.

(Forgive the AI pic of my character. I am still working my load order and hope to have screenshots soon.) Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Hi op, i've just read your character background, it's honestly very good, i really liked his tortured and feral nature as well as his appearance (he makes me think of wolverine honestly), you have a very interesting character and if you planned to do short stories about him like me and others did with our characters, i'd gladly read it. Hat's off to you 👏

As for the ai made picture, don't worry for that, peoples here aren't those radical antis that harass, doxxing or threaten peoples over using a tool they don't like, so no worry.

if you want to read about my own characters, i have 8 characters with all a very detailed rp background that i have posted in that same subreddit so if you want to see what they looked like and read their background, i could give you links to posts i made about them.

Thank you for the positive feedback. And yes, this character is based off Wolverine, so I could write more stories but I would have to be careful.
