Alright, this is going to be an example. Now before you go off saying OMG, he didn't use the correct form. Unfortunately, it isn't, but it shouldn't matter. I didn't do what many people do, and that is list things out with colens. Instead I have an actual character bio. I hope that each of you should be able to eventually write something that far exceeds my own characters bio.
Character Name: Vrael Edoc’sil
Race: Human Rider
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Side: He was born to serve the empire, though when he was younger, he left and joined the Varden
Appearance: Vrael is 6'1" and he weighs around 185 lb. His hair is dark brown, and could be described as a milk chocolate color. It isn't as dark as it once was, since the sunlight lightens it. His hair is always short, for longer hair serves as a distraction for him. He has no facial hair, since he shaves it often. Many humans believe that a beard shows that you're a man, but Vrael doesn't think it has anything to do with it, as his father never taught him anything of the sort. Vrael's eyes are a dark green, and can be described as a deep sea green. When he was younger, he had icy blue eyes, which gives the illusion that he changed them himself through the miracles of magic. He has tanned skin, from spending days in the sunlight. He has a muscular build, though he looks to be more human when it comes to his build. On his left forearm, Vrael has a scar from his father, which was caused by a sword that was searing hot. Vrael has a tattoo on his right shoulder, which in dwarven runes spells out the names Sindri (creator of humans), Urûr and Morgothol (creators of dragons). On his tanned back, the dye appears brown. Only the dwarves tend to know what the names mean, because they are their gods. On Vrael's tanned face, he has freckles that are barely visible in contrast with his skin.
Home: Vrael always thought his home to be Teirm. His real home, however, it Urû'baen. He hated his home, and eventually escaped his father's wretched kingdom.
Clothing: Vrael wears a variety of clothes. His tunics vary from plain red or brown to fancy tunics with elegant designs created by elves. Vrael has ceremonial clothes, of which he sometimes wears to war. They consist of a black tunic. Which on it has red designs, stretching up his sides and down his arms. They look almost Celtic, if you wish to speak modern terms. They are made from a thick cotton material that does not rip or penetrate easily. His leggings or pants are generally brown or black, as he no longer likes to wear light colors often. Around his neck is a necklace, of which was given to him by a maiden dwarf who had helped Vrael when he was growing up. It is made of pewter, with a ruby that looks like a cat's eye inlaid into the metal. It is tied around his neck by a black rope. It never leaves his neck, because he believes it is one of the only things that have given him luck through the many years of his life.
History: Vrael has a history that is only known by a handful of people. It isn’t something he allows to be told out in the open, for it shows in him many things that he’d rather not be shown. He was born in Urû’baen. He was born to a father of who never truly took pride in having a son. His mother wasn’t too fond of Vrael either, though she nursed and cared for him. It was a dry kind of love. She would love him, as he was her son, though she would hate him, as he caused her to loose her beauty. (Or so she thought) Vrael’s mother was thrown into exile by his father. Vrael’s father was having an affair with an elf, and when Vrael’s mother learned of this, she attempted to take his life. In return for her disobedience, she was thrown into the desert to die, which she eventually did.
After this incident, Vrael was only a burden that his father must carry. His father hid Vrael, and did not allow anyone to see or speak of him. At the time, Vrael was not known as Vrael. His real name, before escaping his father’s grasp was Myrkr. It was a disgrace to have such a name, as his father had discovered it in his studies.
As a child without his mother, Vrael grew up living in his father’s “kingdom”. People knew his father as Galbatorix. They did not know he had a son, or even a daughter. Vrael grew up in a prison. He was not allowed to leave his room for any reasons, or he would have been punished by his father. A scar on Vrael’s right leg shows what happens. His father took a metal rod, heated by a fire, and branded an X into Vrael’s leg.
The only times Vrael was allowed to eat, was when he was called for meals. His meals were with Galbatorix, but often his father would never show up. If anything, Galbatorix managed to make it to every dinner meal. Vrael felt like the fine pork, and all the food he was eating was made of poison. Even if Vrael had not liked the food, he was forced to eat it, and was told he would die had he not eaten all of it. Threats bounced off of Vrael’s back, but he knew they were words of truth.
On Vrael’s 16th birthday, he managed to escape his father’s great castle. He fled to Teirm, and hid for the next three years. Soldiers searched for him, as they could not afford Vrael to tell of any of the Empire’s secrets, or how to get inside the castle. After those years of hiding, Vrael heard from a villager in Teirm about a society called the Varden. Vrael wondered if he should go there, and they could perhaps accept him. By changing his name from Myrkr to Vrael, and not speaking of his past, he was able to make his way into the Varden’s walls in Farthen Dûr.
Once a member of the society, Vrael was given a chance of becoming a rider. He was to go through a test, to see if he was liable to become such a great being. He had passed the test, and was allowed to view the dragon eggs. After trying to handle a couple, Vrael’s eyes fell upon an egg the color of a blood ruby. He held it in its palm, and a small dragon emerged from the crimson shells. Vrael immediately was sent off to be trained in all fields. It was an overwhelming experience, going through the tough training all Riders endure. Once he finished his training, he became a teacher of magic, and taught Riders about it.
After Vrael finished his time of teaching, he went to the Varden’s leader, Vali Blackstone. He pledged his life to the Varden, and promised to forever more serve the Varden in every way possible. It was the beginning of a long life for Vrael, as his dragon, Gath, had fully grown. Many battles had passed, and led Vrael to who he is now. He continues to age, but his appearance becomes a little more elven with each coming day.
Ok, this is somewhat of a basic synopsis of who Vrael is. And who is family is/was. This is the list of known people. So first off, is the list of intermediate family members. At some point, I will edit this with a graph of a full family bloodline, but for now, all you'll get is intermediate...
