My ESO character backstories

These are the characters I play in ESO below with a bit about their background and the general quests they do. I'll do more for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim later and already have it set up in a separate draft post.

Elder Scrolls Online

Maximus Fides
Breton, Magicka Templar, Two-Handed, Mage
    A Templar who seeks to help out and do good wherever he goes. He is not beyond breaking the law if it conflicts with doing the right thing nor does he care if he is the only one charging into a battle alone if it means saving the lives of his allies. In fact, he doesn't care how much he has to suffer for the innocent not only because his abilities allow him to heal all his wounds, but also because he uses the pain as penance for his sins, the sins of the innocent, and the sins of the guilty.

Sarai the Eternal
High Elf, Magicka Sorcerer, Vampire, Mage
    A proud member of the Dominion who will do anything to see her people prosper, she embraces the dark powers of a vampire so she can influence the world forever. Even though her methods are questionable and her dark desires overcome her occasionally, she wants the best for the world, meaning the rule of the high elves and their allies over it.

Grimgothica
Orc, Magicka Necromancer, Mage
    First seeking to overcome the biases that orcs can't be mages, Grimgothica studied the ways of magic with her secluded orc stronghold that also did the same until a purest orc stronghold attacked them, leaving Grimgothica the sole survivor. Her normal spells couldn't revive her people so she turned to darker arts to do so, but when she did, her loved ones begged her to let them die and go, so she did. Now stuck with her powers, she uses her dark powers for good with her loved ones willingly coming back from the dead occasionally to help her, especially in battles of great importance.

Jezebel the Shadow
Dark elf, Stamina Nightblade, Daggers, Archer
    A good-hearted thief, she journies the world in search of treasure to give back to the poor and to foil the plots of the corrupt. She joins the thieves' guild in the hopes of greater riches and to connect with other thieves with the same mindset.

Emmanuel Nightingale
Wood elf, Stamina Necromancer, Daggers, Sword and Shield
    He used to be a Templar, but after losing his faith after years of suffering, losing his friends in battles, and witnessing the evils of the world in politics that he couldn't do anything about, Emmanuel turned to necromancy to gain greater power to force change upon the world. With the dead at his disposal, this corrupted paladin will do good most of the time but will fall to evil when he joins the dark brotherhood or when the situation grants him greater power as he cannot bear to go through another situation where he fails to save someone because he was too weak.

Victoria the Prowler
Nord, Stamina Dragonknight, Werewolf, Two-Handed
    Just like most Nords, she seeks honor, glory, and strength. To do this, she was trained in the ways of the Dragonknight, but this wasn't enough. She saw that others were more powerful than her on the battlefield, especially the elves who had hundreds of years of experience in their veins that she couldn't hope to outclass, so she became desperate. Turning to lycanthropy, she found the strength she was looking for. Along with the new abilities and resistance to all diseases, this power gave her the confidence to keep growing as a warrior, and to begin her new life, she sets her sights on Elsweyr where there are rumored to be dragons, the perfect prey to test her strength on.

She-Who-Touches-Grass
Khajiit, Magicka Warden, Mage
    A lover of nature, this Khajiit's family made their home in it and trained her in the ways of utilizing it along with values of faith and charity. Noticing the chaos in the world, she mediates on what to do about it and feels nature calling out to her and the blood of the innocent crying for justice. With her spells and purpose in mind, she leaves home on a journey to bring peace and order to the world with the powers of nature.

Shiori the Librarian
Redguard, Stamina Arcanist, Archer
    Before, Shiori was a mercenary, but after she found a peculiar book, she was filled with the knowledge of Apocrypha and gained the powers of a mage. She now sees the world from a whole different perspective and seeks knowledge and truth rather than riches. Despite being a better person now than before, if there's knowledge to be gained, she'll kill anyone and do anything to gain it like an addict craving their next fix.

Alberto the Penitent
Imperial, Stamina Templar, Sword and Shield, Archer
    A loyal Imperial soldier, Alberto wanders the lands of the world to do good and grow as a Templar. Whenever Cyrodiil is in need, he comes running to help out and is mostly found in his home region, but will leave it to face dangers that threaten it outside of its borders.
