Maximum Pain

Nyx awoke with a start, sitting up. He let his racing heart calm before he looked around the room. All was silent, meaning his brother had already left for Solitude. He stood, pulling on fresh clothes, and pulling his hair back. It was one of his rare days off; he would take advantage of it by spending it with his brother. He walked into the main room, finding breakfast already on the table, awaiting him. It was a bowl of cut up fruit with his brother's special sauce that kept the fruit good for longer periods of time. Nyx ate quickly, and set the bowl in the basket of dishes that needed to be cleaned. He grimaced as he thought of his brother having to do all the work around the house. It would be better once they lived in the city... Ivaylo smiled politely at a woman who walked up. She was knew to him, but he recognized her face. She had just recently moved in with her aunt and uncle, who ran the stables just outside the city. He didn't know anything beyond that though. "What will it be?" he asked "Just some Venison..." she said shyly. While Ivaylo began to pack the meat, he asked her, "You're new to the city?" She just nodded silently in response. "Let me just say welcome then. Most people can be kind of unfriendly, but just smile and they'll warm up to you quickly," he said, handing her the package. She blinked, staring at him like she was confused, before a smile erupted on her face. "Thank you." She gave him his money, put the meat in her basket and hurried away, leaving Ivaylo staring after her with a small smile. It was still early in the morning, but the sun was already hot on his shoulders. The stall wasn't as busy as usual, but he didn't mind. It gave him a chance to think.

**Note: Sorry about the long description. Feel free to just read this. Basically they're brothers, and they have shifter powers, et cetera, et cetera. I like describing my characters. ^^ Name: Nyx Cross Race in Skyrim: Imperial Gender: Male Original Franchise: Original Divinity(s): Azura Weapon: The Dusk Bow, plus the Twilight Blade. He also has his claws if necessary. Appearance: Nyx is 20, and is 6’1” (height), and muscular, but still lean. He’s bigger than Ivaylo, but hardly enough for there to be a big difference between the two. His skin slightly tanned by the sun, but time in Skyrim with all the snow and often cloudy days, it has faded with time. He has a scar vertically down the inner part of his right forearm. His hair is down to his shoulders that is pitch black. He often has it tied up to keep it out of his way. He has violet eyes. His clothing usually consists of simple, light leather armor that allows him to move faster and with more accuracy. Bio: Nyx, along with his twin moved to Skyrim when there home country was destroyed from the inside by a civil war. He doesn’t like to talk of the past, but to keep suspicions low, he’ll tell anyone who asks that he comes froma far away country called, “Moon Flower,” which is the English translation. They both barely made it to Skyrim alive. Of course once there, the Nords gave these twin foreigners a hard time, thinking them Imperials. Nyx is actually a cat shifter, the opposite of his twin. This gives him a quiet grace. He does some work for the Dark Brotherhood and the Theives Guild, but does not belong to either of the organizations exclusively. He does this so that all his time can we be spent protecting his little brother. His goal is to raise enough money to buy a house within the city walls, but that dreams pretty far off. It was only chance that made Nyx and Ivaylo chosen warriors for Azura. Name: Ivaylo Cross Race in Skyrim: Imperial Gender: Male Original Franchise: Original Divinity(s): Azura Weapon: The Dawn Bow, plus the Day Break Sword. He has his animal form as well. Appearance: Ivaylo is 20, and is 6’0”(height), and is lean. He’s slightly smaller than Nyx, but only when the two are seen together. Much like Nyx, he is slightly tanned, but time away from the sun has cause it to fade. He has a scar vertically down the inner part of his left forearm. His hair is also black, but he prefers to keep it slightly shorter. He has golden eyes. He often follows his brother’s clothing style when he wears armor, but he prefers the loose, easy to move in miner’s clothing for everyday wear. Bio: Ivaylo moved with his twin to Skyrim when they were very young. Do to the ridicule they faced, his brother became serious and strong. Ivaylo became the opposite, trying to prove to the Nords that not everybody was as bad as the Nords thought they were. He became rowdy, and comedic, with a smile always planted on his face. What the Nords don’t know about him is that he is a wolf shifter, an art passed down through the Cross generation. Nyx learned the art as well, becoming a cat instead of a wolf though. Ivaylo gets along well with the Companions Guild, who sensed a different, but similar beast inside him. He runs a small meat stall in Solitude, but his brother and he live outside of the city in the nearby farm lands. He understand why his brother was chosen as a warrior of the divines, but he is having troubles believing he was chosen as well, and often questions himself. Markarth

Thanks everybody for the fantastic welcome! ^^ *Is poked.* o-o *Pokes back.* (MP? o-o Why not just call me Max, if you don't like Pain. )

Hello, I'm Maximum Pain. I'm trying to get back into roleplaying after a couple years break. I mostly joined because a friend of mine wanted me to join his forum thread. I am a big fan of Kingdom Hearts (otherwise I wouldn't be here, right?). That same friend insisted that I introduce myself as well. I hope you all will welcome me happily. Thanks everybody! ^^ Pain off!
