Bio: Ulf had a violent life as a Vargar. He loved to hunt the herds of centaurs when he was young, along with his pack. But soon, the centaurs started to fight back. During one of their hunts, Ulf's pack was ambushed by what seemed like centaurs, but unlike the shepards, these has decorative wings on their backs and were armed with steel. The pack was slaugthered and Ulf was mortally wounded by the centaurs while he attempted to flee the Shrikes. He limped to Arenni, where he was found by a group of Vang hunters who heard the commotion. They could have killed him on the spot since he was just a kid and unable to fight back, but instead they carried him to their home and healed his wounds. Ulf was then raised as a Vang by the inhabitants of Arenni, having to disguise his features to be accepted as one of them. Since that incident, Ulf has chosen to live as a Vang and protect Arenni as a mercenary instead of returnig to the Vargr. His wounds never fully healed, and the scars that were left remained as a grim reminder of his past as a beast and the fateful night where the winged centaurs killed his old family.
30 years ago, the Accord between Vang and Vargr finally let him drop his human disguise and join the Vang army against the Liberty Union. Killing horses was close enough for him. Almost like centaurs, really. But the scars remain and he still has pending accounts with the Shrikes mercenaries.

Thanks Furtuka!

Spoiler: MUGS! (click to show/hide)

I would say the sheet is finished, but I'm not sure about the personal skills and faults. Are they balanced?

Edited the last personal skill.

EDIT: Changed the stats a little. Since I can get lots of SPD and SKL with levels, I added some to CON to be able to wield heavier weapons.

[Sirus]

They look okay to me, but it's Gig's call. None of them seem particularly bad.

[randomgenericusername]

I mean, I think the last one might be too weak? Maybe I should change it to also work if someone attacks me during the enemy phase.

EDIT: What about this: "When an ally is reduced to 0 HP, +2 Base Damage for the current and next phase"
This way:
-If someone dies during the player phase and an enemy attacks me during theenemy phase, I would still get the bonus to damage.
-If someone dies during the enemy phase, I can still attack with extra damage during the player phase.

But then, what if this is also too powerful?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Aight, Benvolio should be done for now.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Until the next phase seems reasonable.

Bio: To begin talking about Ulrich's life, you need to know a little about his father. Ulrich's father is a rather successful trader by the name of Adalwulf. Adalwulf does what few do and trades regularly with the spider clans around the area of Brisk, trading much needed goods like salt and spices or iron for Spider silk and furs which he'd sell off both above and below the Spine. It's with this exposure to many different cultures that Ulrich life was lived. He loved talking and interacting with people of other backgrounds, what he loved especially was interacting with the non-human folk he encountered. He learned early on many of the legends and customs of the Fringewood clans as well as that of his Vang Kinsmen. It came as no surprise to his parents then, that he would leave the family business to one of his brothers and instead strike out to become a wandering skald. He's already making something of a name for himself in the Kingdom of the Vang already, with his current crowning achievement being preforming at a feast for one of the little lords near Fort Sen.

Bio:
The Shrikes of Aren were a feared elite band of centaur mercenaries, founded in the dying days of the Age of Dragons during the height of the Vargr incursions into Aren. The Shrikes' original mission was to fend off the Vargr and protect their people; many of the original Shrikes had come from tribes that were wholly decimated by Vargr raids and, to avenge their fallen families, had banded together to successfully fend off Vargr raids towards the north of the Plains with unrivalled fury. Fearsome fighters, the Shrikes were so-named for the large wings they wore on the backs of their armor as they charged into combat, intimidating the Vargr and deafening them with the clanging of the metal scales. To this day, areas where the Shrikes ambushed and slaughtered the Vargr remain marked with the skulls of their quarry, a warning to those who might come afterwards to fear the wings that sail across Aren.

The Shrikes were put to use during the war between Vang and the Liberty Union, with the Union using the Shrikes for their experience and talents, but to no avail; the numbers of the Shrikes were nowhere near enough to counter the arrival of much of the Vargr nation in response to King Balthe's promise of refuge. The Shrikes, defeated but not broken, retreated to the plains, where they have remained since the Accords were signed. Though technically not a 'tribe' in the sense that any centaur of any tribe may join the Shrikes- as long as they swear fealty to the Shrikes above all-, they are a tribe in all but name, with many members starting new families alongside their herdmates, and pride themselves in the 'tribal' tradition of martial skill, the same as any other centaur tribe might pride itself on craftsmanship. The Shrikes also maintain a fraught peace with the Vang out of convenience rather than fellowship; though the Shrikes sympathise with their hatred for the Vargr, they nonetheless were outraged and remain distrustful for their desperate use of the Vargr to defeat the Liberty Union, causing much casualties among their number.

Benvolio was born into the Shrikes, his mother a talented warrior who had fought through the worst of the last war and his father a metallurgist who, though lacking skill in combat was famed for his talent at the forge. Though he was a strong foal and took to arms like a duck to water, Benvolio was never quite at ease with fighting, nor was he ever at ease with metallurgy; he showed talent at fighting, but he was utterly hopeless when it came to metalworking. Benvolio preferred to spend much of his time learning music; Benvolio was fascinated by music, ever since a beloved family friend had taught him how to make a leaf flute, spending much of his time attempting to carve flutes and play them. He was also an oddity in desiring to understand those that the Shrikes had grown to despise, the Vargr; though many of the foals of Shrikes had grown up with the stories of Vargr as monsters who ought to be slain, Benvolio, though understandably scared of them, desired to understand why the Vargr and the Centaurs were at war.

As a result of his oddities, though a good warrior, Benvolio was all but ostracized by the Shrikes, though his own family still cared for him, if disapproving of his artistry. Eventually, the time came and King Balthe fell ill, threatening war upon the world. With the Shrikes still nominally allied with the Vang of Fort Sen, the Shrikes were obligated to send some of their own to aid the Vang. Their aforementioned distrust of the Vang over their alliance with the Vargr influencing their decision, the Shrikes decided to send Benvolio to Fort Sen as their representative. Unbeknownst to them, however, Benvolio, feeling very much isolated from the rest of the Shrikes for all of his outsider traits and facing their disapproval of him as a member of their 'tribe', saw this as an opportunity to prove his worth to his people, if not necessarily live up to their legacy, and so took the posting with enthusiasm.

Personality-wise, Benvolio is rather friendly and easy-going, an oddity among centaurs who tend towards being rather serious in nature. Though, as a result of his upbringing with the Shrikes, he is naturally distrustful of Vargr, he gets along well with other people most times, and will at least make an effort to be cordial towards any Vargr allies. He is also rather slow to anger, taking most insults in stride, a result of having to put up with the disapproval of his peers, though impugning the honor of his family, as with any other centaur, is a quick way to anger him. Benvolio prefers the artistic pursuit of music and can be found spending most of his free time practicing the grass whistle. However, Benvolio does share one thing in common with the rest of centaurkind; Benvolio is incredibly loyal and watchful over those he chooses to befriend, and woe betide the unfortunate fool who arouses Benvolio's wrath by attacking his companions.

Hey, so I read the backstory (Very well done btw) and I was thinking if I could integrate the Shrikes in my backstory as the ones who hunted down Ulf's pack when he was a cub. Are you okay with this?

Bio:
    For her early years, Swift-As-Gale was just one of many harpies living near Culri's Forest. She was named not only for her remarkable flight speed when she came of age, but also her reckless decision making that rivalled that speed. While she was young she had a tendency to watch the older harpies and then try to outperform her peers with the information she had gained, be that hunting technique, flight tricks, or some other task she was sure she could do. Because of this, she wasn't particularly close with her egg-mates; however, this didn't bother her until one fateful day when they also had the brilliant idea to watch their elders hunt over Culri's Forest. At the tender age of eleven they were all exposed to the cruelties of a dog-eat-dog world.
    One of her sisters had spotted something shining in the Deepwoods and alerted the rest of them to the find. The allure was too great despite the warning that had been drilled into their heads about the dangers of the Deepwoods, of the carnivorous arachnids that dwelt within. Together the clutch descended into the Deepwoods and together they were ensnared by the hunter's carefully crafted web trap. However Swift-As-Gale did not give up; her frantic struggling was rewarded with a chance at freedom. As she looked back at her sisters she realized they had not been so fortunate and the spiders were closing in. In an act of pure recklessness, she turned back and freed her nearest sister.
    That almost cost her dearly. One of the spiders had seen the escape attempt and moved to intercept, quickly snatching Swift-As-Gale out of the air as she tried to resume her escape. She screamed as she struggled but, unlike their web, the grip of the older spider did not loosen. She would have suffered the fate of her sisters had the one she freed not come back for her. Her surprise attack on Swift-As-Gale's captor caused the spider to drop her. She wasted no time in taking to the skies, leaving the forest and its deadly inhabitants behind as she and her now singular sister fled home.
    The event changed Swift-As-Gale. As she grew closer to her sister over their shared trauma and the closeness that comes from being each other's nearest family, Swift-As-Gale shifted from reckless to careful, from hasty to deliberate. She would not be caught off guard again, nor would she leave her sister unprotected. Swift-As-Gale she was a natural with her talons, in contrast to her calm and deliberate personality at odds with the “traditional” image of a raptor.
    Years later, the time came for them to leave the metaphorical and literal nest, as harpies are wont to do - time for them to go into the world and experience what it might have to offer. Unlike many of their kind, Eyes-Like-Gold and Swift-As-Gale decided they would set out together, for safety and companionship.
    Soon after they left, having gone to the desert (partly because the desert dwellers often required messengers to avoid crossing the desert themselves, partly because it was away from the forest…), they found some work. Specifically, as couriers and to an extent bodyguards for a dragon who, for some reason, owns a library. That was a while ago - now, they’re going on a certain mission with their boss, and may be getting in over their heads...
