Totalitarian

This is a rather difficult read; being that it lacks proper grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. All of which are fixable.

Next: your whole backstory seems rushed. You have a whole story to explain and give information in, and in this, it's all given in a few paragraphs. Again, this is easily fixable. The brevity is not a problem in and of itself, but coupled with the lack of punctuation and formatting, it gives the whole story the feeling that it is unorganized. Of course, I see that you are trying to cram in other pieces of your character's story into this. But by explaining them in a single sentence, it makes it seem unnecessary. Try making each of those little snippets into the past longer, and explain/make them in a new paragraph for clarity.

That being said, you did correctly separate your later paragraphs for emphasis, which is what you need to do throughout the whole backstory for readability.

So, you have a good idea, but your backstory needs to be polished with simple English mechanics (grammar and other related subjects are simple, compared to the complex subjects of analysis and synthesis). I understand trying to speed out a story, but writing something of quality is something that takes more than just an idea for a story. All you need to do is properly format and proofread your backstory for it to be readable. But, for it to be digestible (meaning to have a greater story to tell) you need to expand more. You have the topics to expand on already written into your backstory, and all you need to do is expand on them.


Class: Well, for RP, any class and loadout works, but due to the fact that he read "Storm Calling for Beginners", I would assume that means Sorcerer. But Nightblade is perfectly fine if it fits your character better.

Last Name: Pick and Arabic/North African one. They tend to work well with Redguards.

The coming of age, by Vorcil of the Dagger;

Listen close child, and listen well,
for I do have a tale to tell;
there was once a young Redguard, from Alik'r,
wandering through sands, his life did not care.

Searching for shelter, a cave had he found,
glittering treasure, did he fall back on the ground;
emerged from the shadows, an Arachnidian beast,
ancient and red eyed, looking for feast.

Drawing his sword, an oath to his father,
who questioned his arrows, begged sword for him to master;
he struck out his blade, and what had emerged,
was a bloodied black blade, giant spider had he purged.

Stumbling around, and what he did see,
was an abandoned dark city, carved rock nought of green;
a menacing sight, ancient and old,
lightening in air, Yotkudan mountain hold.

Searching did find, a mysterious sight,
encircled within city, Mage tower's blight;
spent many an hour, reading spell tomes,
did this young Redguard, found his new home.

...

Roleplaying is what you make of it, whether you decide to walk / ride everywhere and not fast travel, sing songs, read every book or just in general pretend that the world you are in is real, and the way you play reflects that.

Just have fun;

vanquise

Cool story, as mentioned before, just fix some spelling and grammar errors and it's good to go.

I'd probably go sorcerer if he loves magic, but it depends. Nightblades get some cool illusion type abilities, but sorcerers get more destruction based abilities - it depends which school of magic he's more into, but 'Storm Calling' is a sorcerer ability.

Redguards don't usually have surnames, but some Redguards in this game seem to have surnames based off their hometown. For example, I've run into people with the surname "al-Satakalaam", which means they're from the town of Satakalaam. It's basically "al-" + Hometown. So maybe pick a hometown and do that?

I've seen "af-", "am-", and "at-" used as well; but I'm not 100% on what they mean - I think "af-" goes before the name of a parent, the other two I don't know.
