Family: Father - Skrojd the Nord (Nord, Alive), Mother - Sidra Ferndale (Bosmer, Deceased)
Personality: Aragorn is a member of the Tamriel Ranger Corps. He is a very outgoing person, and tries his best to make others feel appreciated. He can be a loud, and obnoxious person sometimes, but he always has a positive attitude. He likes to think he is a lady charmer, but he usually gets shy around them, and says or does stupid things.
Positive Traits: He is very caring. He is an expert tracker, able to track things across the different provinces. He is also very good with directions and navigation, as he has his own personal map marked with places that not many people have been to, and with every single game trail and path that the Rangers have discovered so far on it as well. It also consists of all of the known caves. He is able to sneak up on people very easily, as he is light footed, and this lets him make assassinations if need be. He is an excellent climber, able to scale things that most people would consider impossible to climb. He is excellent with a bow. He is extremely proficient in Two-handed combat, but only with his sword variant. His Bosmer blood lets him live a very long time, while the Nord in him helps him to resist the cold better. He is skilled in Alchemy, as he has to create potions and such while all alone, or on patrols in the wild. He has very acute hearing.
Negative Traits: He can have a short temper occasionally. He hates the Aldmeri Dominion, and all that it stands for. He can be very mistrusting of Altmer, although he is accepting of Bosmer and Khajiit. He can get on some peoples nerves very easy. He likes to push buttons. He is very immature for his age.
Dislikes: Liars, Racists, Thalmor, The Aldmeri Dominion, Daedra, Vampires, most of the Forsworn, anything that could harm the innocent.
Fears: He fears just about anything a normal Warrior or person would fear. Aragorn's trick, however, is he has learned to harness his fear, and turn it into a weapon unto itself, keeping him on edge in battle.
Aspirations: He hopes to one day Marry, and have children.
Quirks: He fletches his own arrows. He also doesn't polish his weapons and armor to give them a nice shine. He prefers the look of his armor to seem battle worn, as it could pose as a possible fear factor. Also, a shiny weapon gives away your position when you are stalking someone. He has many different arrow types, as he makes do with what he can. Occasionally, you can see hand crafted ones in his quiver. He will make jibs, and remarks on the form of someone he is fighting, possibly annoying the person until the make a fatal mistake. He finds himself oddly attracted to elven women...
Philosophy: "I swear to up hold the peace through the land, and to protect the Innocent. To strike fear into the hearts of the enemy, both from the shadows, and in the light. I promise to continue to train my body and my mind, never letting it slip from peek perfection. I swear to fight all influences of evil throughout the land, whether they are man made, or of a higher form." (Taken from the Ranger Code.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gear
Armor: Aragorn wears the typical outfit of a Ranger. The armor is a mix of chain mail and leather armor. It has a hood that is pulled up over his head, and a mask that can be pulled up that covers up the mouth and nose, only showing the eyes. The armor is designed to give the maximum protection, while also allowing one to be extremely stealthy and agile. There is also a medium sized cape on the back, held in place with a pin that is shaped like the Ebonheart Pact Emblem. When a Ranger dies, the pin is removed, and sent home to their family, if they have one. His belt is adorned with the symbol of the Ebonheart Pact, as well as having it carved into his bow and sword.

Main Weapons: Aragorn's main weapon is a Ranger Sword, the staple weapon of the Rangers. The blade is extended longer than you average Sword, but is still shorter than a Greatsword. It is able to be wielded one handed while Magic or a shield is used in the other. However, the extension on the hilt also allows it to be effectively wielded as a Two-handed weapon. This gives it a lot of versatility, as a Ranger is able to switch back and forth from one and two-handed combat while in the middle of a fight. For example, the Ranger creates a fireball in his hand while still fencing with the sword, and throws it at his enemy. Right afterwards, they could switch to a two handed attack, and drive the blade harder then they could have one handed. Aragorn's sword name is
Whatever. The sword is sheathed on his back.

Secondary Weapons: His recurve longbow, in the Fashion that Rangers use. Each ranger creates their own bow from hand, and it is one of their trials. Jorunn's bow is a hybrid between a Longbow, and a traditional recurve bow. It is the size of a Longbow, but is also Recuvered, with the traditional curve down the middle, and the tips bending over in opposite directions. The extra curves gives the user extra speed and power with his bow. He also carries 2 Nordic knifes, which are a staple in a ranger's arsenal as well, as they are good for throwing due to their balance.
(Recurve Bow)
(Nordic Knife, in case you have never seen one.)
Misc: A satchel, for holding supplies such as food, or ingredients. A Wood Cutters Ax. A torch. A cast iron pot for cooking, and heating things, like water. A horn, which is used for signaling things (Just the uses a horn could have, stuff like that). A small, Whetstone used for maintaining his weapons.

History/Biography
Brief History of the Ranger Corps: The Tamriel Ranger Corps was founded under the Ebonheart Pact a Millennium before our current time. Made up of Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians, this special force were the commando's of the Pact, specializing in scouting, reconnaissance, assassination, and Guerrilla warfare. As the threat and issue of Molag Bal increased, the Rangers became the main fighting force to counteract his forces, and fight skirmishes, while the main forces of the Pact fought the big battles, and the rivals of the Pact. After the Ebonheart pact was dissolved, the Ranger Corps stayed around, and formed their own sort of guild, operating throughout all of Tamriel. The sigil of the Guild is the same as the Ebonheart Pact, that of a Dragon. That emblem is still used even today. Each Province had a Ranger Outpost somewhere inside it (This would change when the Thalmor came to power. The Rangers retreated out of Dominion controlled territories because they were being hunted by Thalmor Agents.). The Ranger Outpost in Skyrim, which is in the mountain ranges south of Morthal, also doubles as the Headquarters of the entire Corps. As time progressed, the Rangers began to be less like the spies and assassins that they were during the time of the Pact, and more like defenders of Tamriel. After the Oblivion Crisis occurred, the Vigilantes and Urgents of Stendarr were created, and many Rangers volunteered to work with them as guides, Warriors, Long-Range combatants, trackers, and even hunters. During the Great War, the Rangers became an unofficial Military Branch of the Empire, and were nicknamed Imperial Rangers by the Legionnaires. At the end of the Great War, many of the Rangers either were assigned to, or volunteered to work with the Vigilantes and Urgents of Stendarr. At the end of the year 4E 196, the northern Forsworn tribes and the Rangers began to skirmish due to the fact that the Northern Forsworn tribes had begun to kill travelers and the people of caravans mercilessly, no matter their race. These skirmishes became increasingly violent. In 4E 197, the Rangers declared war on the Northern Tribes, and the Forsworn War began. As of 4E 202, after the Civil War's end, as well as the end of the Forsworn War (Which the Rangers were able to win), the corps began the work of rebuilding themselves.
Aragorn's Biography: Aragorn was born to Skrojd the Nord and Siddra Ferndale in 4E 157. Both of his parents were high ranking members of the Ranger Corps. Both of his parents were young when they had him, as Skrojd was 22 and Siddra 24. They raised Aragorn as a Ranger, training him since he could first hold a bow and a knife. His Bosmer blood seemed to give him a natural affinity to climb everything, and when he went missing, his parents started to learn, just look up. When Aragorn turned fourteen, the Great War broke out, and his father and mother were called to fight. Working alongside the Empire, the Rangers devestated Dominion supply lines, as well as raid their camps, however, that still could not stall the advance of the Dominion. His mother traveled to Cyrodiil, to report news of a scouting missions she had just come back from, when the Siege of the Imperial City began. Volunteering to stay and help the Eighth Legion in their rear guard action, she was killed by Dominion forces. No one turly knows how she died, but most likely, it wasn't pretty, as the Thalmor don't like to find Altmer or Bosmer fighting for the Empire, and chances are she was brutally tortured, before being killed. As the war progressed, fortunes took a swing to the Empire's favor. The Rangers forces were harassing supply lines so bad, that supplies almost all together stopped arriving to the dominion forces in the Imperial City. During this time in the War, Aragorn under went his trials, and emerged a fully fledged Ranger at 17, ready for combat, and it wouldn't be long before he got it. In 4E 175, the Battle of the Red Ring began. As the Dominion forces were being crushed in the city, many tried to flee back across the border, however, almost all of them would run into ambushes set up by the Rangers to finish off the Dominion forces in Cyrodiil. Aragorn was a part of this force, and was a part of the almost total annihilation of the Dominion forces. After the end of the Great War, and Aragorn was assigned, along with a few others, to travel to Hammerfell, and link up with the Rangers there who were still fighting the Dominion. And so Aragorn fought the Dominion for five more years, until the the Second Treaty of Stros M'Kai is signed. After the signing of the Treaty, Aragorn pulled back to Cyrodiil, where he was immediately greeted by his father with an embrace. While his mother had passed away in the War, his father had survived, and had taken the place of Commander of the outpost after the previous commander, Jorn Gray-Mane, had been killed fighting the Dominion. A few years after his return, he was granted the rank of Captain, and became a member of the inner circle. The following years were spent dealing with bandits and pirates. With the Return of the Imperial Legion, things began to calm down, until the incident at Bravil. The city became war zone when the two largest Skooma dealers in the area started a turf war. It was nasty business, and many of the Rangers were called to help end the problem, which they were able to achieve. In 4E 197, Aragorn was sent with a detachment of Rangers to help with the Forsworn War in Skyrim. He fought there for four years. During that time, the Forsworn were practically beaten, although the Rangers took heavy losses (Out of the thirty that had traveled with Aragorn there, only eight would return with him). As the Civil War in Skyrim started up, Aragorn and his remaining rangers were recalled back to Cyrodiil, where massive riots had broken out, and organized crime, bandit groups, and murders were on the rise. So Aragorn traveled back to Cyrodiil, where he currently is trying to deal with the issues that have arisen in his absence.
