I'm going to go ahead and try out a new character.

Name: The Guardian

Faction: Terenites (Lossoth off-shoot)

Weapon: Ulteran, a greatsword of unknown make and design.

Background: long long ago, in order to escape the pains of the world, a small group of around sixty men and Elves left into the wastes of Forodwaith, into the frozen mountains, hoping against hope to find some place secluded, someplace they could make a home away from war. They found just the place. Up a small path along the side of a cliff, they came to a secluded valley. And at the end of that secluded valley they found a city. It was abandoned, and it was a make unlike any city ever seen. It was made of some strange stone. There were only seven buildings, seven immense and perfectly smooth pyramids, and each had only one featureless room inside. The city wasn't walled or gated. There were no corpses, no weapons, nothing but four immense spires at each corner of the city, which curved to meet at a point in the very center. These spires appeared to have some strange property, for whenever one set foot within the city, the air became warm and pleasant. Given that the city was built into a mountain valley (thus having a natural wall on three sides) and was really hard to get to, they made their home within this curious city. Crafted themselves houses within the enormous pyramids, and dug mines into the walls. Their leader, a High Elf named Teren, went to the largest pyramid, and within this pyramid he found a sword. It was an immense sword, and was covered in green symbols. He touched the sword, but a voice spoke in his head:

Only he who has no selfish intent may wield Ulteran.

The city was named after their leader, and henceforth was called "Teren's Grasp". The presence of both Elves and men there led to a new species, the Terenites, who had the fair skin, height, immortality and features of the Elves but the sturdy build and round ears of men. Their population grew in peace, for none but themselves could find their way to Teren's Grasp. Then, one day, a Teren child was born, he was much larger than most. When he was eighteen he had already become the tallest and bulkiest man in Teren's Grasp. And when he was eighteen, as is customary amongst his people, he went to grasp the sword. Before the amazed eyes of ancient Teren, the sword glowed green at his touch. Ulteran had chosen its wielder. The great Teren spires over the city also glowed, and all within the city felt an intense wave of euphoria.

Up until this point, Teren had no formal military. The boy who Ulteran had chosen quickly changed this, for he was not naive. The Terenites knew of the mithril, and had a supply thereof. The boy ordered construction of suits of armor composed of a mithril-terenium alloy (terenium is the same metal with which the city was built). The mixture turned out blue-green, curiously. And so it was that the boy came to be known as the Guardian, captain of the force of fifty which defended this city.

When the Dwarves, men and Orcs came to the north however, the Guardian knew that his beloved city was in danger. He had heard stories of the outside world. Of the greed of the Dwarves, the corruption of men, and the brutality of Orcs. He knew that only if the Lossoth won the war would his city be safe. And so it was that he resolved to aid the Lossoth and drive off the invaders at all costs.

Mission: to keep his city safe and drive out the invaders

Appearance: Tall, with the fair skin of a Terenite, adorned in blue-green armor with the immense green symboled sword strapped to his back. His short hair is blond, and he can be considered handsome under his helm.

Other info/ abilities: his sword may be capable of things that haven't yet been discovered. He is immune to all selfish desires.
