• BIRTHDAY : First Seed, 6th
• BACKSTORY : Karim's story starts with his sister Kanna when they are torn away from their parents in a bandit raid, which results in him being pressured to join the bandit clan, with the bandits using his sister's safety and wellbeing as a leverage to have him do what they want. During him growing up in this group, he grows leaps and bounds in strength, which results with him growing up to be a fearsome warrior. After a certain fateful day he finds herself being torn away from his sister after a bandit raid gone wrong. He narrowly escapes imprisonment, but fails to prevent her sister from being captured. This leads to him being orphaned in Cyrodiil, where now as a young adult he decides to use his talents to become an adventurer to provide for himself. He ends up being recruited by the Blades - and Imperial Legion later in his journeys - which help him turn his life around for better.
• SEXUAL EXPERIENCE : Karim loves sleeping around, but hates settling down. He's a heterosexual man with love for young girls, mature women and anything in between. Beasts don't interest him at all. Generally speaking he loves being in control, even if it means getting a little bit rough.
• COMABT SKILLS : Karim is highly athletic and strong with a naturally healthy and vigorous body, and has an uncanny talent for handling long blades, having trained his whole childhood and early adolescence with them. Other kinds of weapons work fine with him too, like axes, but he likes using sword paired with a shield the most. Sneaking around and ranged weaponry don't suit him at all, and he has little to no talent for damaging his foes with magic.
• OTHER SKILLS : Karim has trained smithing extensively for weapon and armor maintenance. He's also got good sense for barter and trade, being smart with math. Apart from that, he's got charisma and good looks to help him deal with strangers, friends and enemies alike.
• APPAREL : Despite having grown and trained into fighting with light armor suited for hot and harsh climates of Hammerfell, heavy plate armor suits Karim the best. He oftentimes pairs his armor with layered clothing underneath to make it more comfortable and likes to wear his armor even outside duty to show everyone his commitment to the way of the warrior and swordsmanship. For clothing, he enjoys a semi-formal attire.
• RELIGIOUS VIEWS : Despite growing up in a religious household, Karim is a down to earth man who sees little to no value in worshipping divines, or dealing with any scheming daedra.
• POLITICAL VIEWS : Karim grew up reading about and listening to old folk stories of Hammerfell and Yokuda, which have greatly influenced the person he has become. The Book of Circles, for example, inspired him to master the ways of swordsmanship. He's definitely better at taking orders than giving them, and as such he's not a politically minded person, nor anyone who desires power and influence over a great number of people. He can be a little callous at times regarding his enemies, but doesn't enjoy hurting the innocent or the weak. In addition to despising those who do, he believes that sometimes the biggest criminals of the world are tyrannical politicians, lawmakers and kings. He prefers to avoid crime, but due to being an outcast and an orphan, he sometimes has no choice and will not hesitate to turn to the dark side if he feels he has no other choice. That all being said, at the end of the day, being a mercenary and making money triumphs all, along with protecting his family and his friends.
