Chronology of Events (or "I'm not fond of reading or writing biographies.):
- Born April 18th, 769 MoP to a fief-holding father and his wife. - Raised much like others in Talibar; had aspirations to become a knight, and thus, practiced often. - Became Squire at the age of 14 to Ser Astelan Dernicus. Immediately sent to fight in wars with the Sultanate of Seljuk. - Battle of Zaar - Sultanate Victory - Force routed by hails of flaming arrows. "It was as if some sort of hell fell upon us." - Siege of Racily - Sultanate Victory - Battle of Ileus - Sultanate Victory - Battle of Jacoby - Talibar Victory - Personally broke a stalemate between Talibar and Sultanate forces by leading a charge with his knight. Many were killed as a result of the spearhead and the tactic eventually won the battle. Honors were bestowed, but Ursoran was wounded in the fighting. - Battle of Uakari - Sultanate Victory - Battle of Qt - Talibar Victory - Ursoran turns 15. - Campaign ends with Talibar losing the most land. Ursoran, Astelan, and the rest of the army are made to regroup and reinforce at the nearest mustering grounds. - Siege of Nach - Sultanate Victory - The city of Nach -- the specified mustering grounds -- is sieged by the enemy. Ursoran and Astelan escape with several other Knights and Squires. Many of Ursoran's friends die for their Knight-Lords, but they escape nonetheless and regroup with larger forces. New mustering ground is specified by Talibar's Marshal and a new campaign is launched. - Battle of Laban - Talibar Victory - Ursoran is wounded again in the fighting after being surrounded. His Knight, Ser Astelan rescues him. He is later treated after the battle. - Battle of Oared - Sultanate Victory - Battle of Ibex - Talibar Victory - Siege of Kafka - Talibar Victory - Astelan personally slays enemy general, but is soon slain himself by his bodyguard. Ursoran swears oaths of vengeance and suffers from grief. Ursoran turns 16. Campaign ends with the capture of the Barony of Kafka. Ursoran receives a new Knight -- Ser Cephesus Hidek -- to finish his training and watch after him until he reachers Knighthood. - Counter-Siege of Kafka - Talibar Victory - Campaign resumes. - While marching with an army, fell in love with a young noble girl at the same age as he. Received first kiss but was forced to move on after her father -- the general -- had her stay at the nearby Castle of Earache as the father only had her tag along because they were to pass by the Castle in any case. - Battle of Babbitt - Talibar Victory - Battle of Pabst - Tablibar Victory - Battle of Tabu - Sultanate Victory - Siege of Narvik - Talibar Victory - Ursoran spends several hours fighting the streets of Narvik, suffering wounds and slaying many enemies. The city-wide stalemate was eventually broken when a Knight by the name of Hadakiel Gadmo lead a charge into the castle with several Knights and Squires including Ursoran, slaying the enemy leader and breaking enemy leadership. Campaign halts due to lack of forces. - Ursoran turns 17. - After receiving reinforcements, campaign continues. - Battle of Caber - Talibar Victory - Battle of Wahl - Talibar Victory - Siege of Yaki - Talibar Victory - Ser Hidek is satisfied with Ursoran and he is knighted earlier than most. Ursoran treks home. - On the way home, Ursoran discovered the Castle of Earache is under siege. He does what he can to raid the camp in the night, moving on to the Barony of Lacerta -- his father's castle -- to warn them and receive his Squire. The next morning, the Sultanate takes Castle Earache. - Ursoran receives Aramiel as his Squire and turns 18 soon after. - Ser Ursoran and Squire Aramiel return to Navik, finding it as Ursoran did a year ago, still under Talibar control. A new force musters there, but is soon attacked by the Sultanate. Continued in Aramiel chronology...

Something about this character makes Lawful Neutral seem a bit wrong, but honestly I can't find any better alignment.
As for the rest, it all looks good. Feels a bit short on certain things, but you've already stated you don't like bios, so i'll let it pass.
Going to give a Pending, as i'd like to see others' opinions and other admins' decisions, then i'll change it right to an Accept.

yeah i sat there for like 30 min trying to figure out what alignment he was. i eventually went with lawful because his code of chivalry. i also don't think he's evil or good, so i went with neutral.
also: changed aramiel's alignment because tyolos realized he was better than me the faggot

What got me stuck was the fact that he is technically following his own code. Regardless of it being racism, it is still his own code, so it does warrant lawfulness. As for neutrality, he is kinda approaching things at a bias, so it's hard to say how to approach it. So yeah, guess it's good as it is.

Accepted. You rascist fuck.

while he hates xenos and archers and mages, he isn't biased. he treats them all equally in terms of his code of honor.

I like this. Aside from being a beautiful page, this has an impressive level of detail and is pretty nicely balanced. I wish it had a biography, but the timeline you have is good enough. Accepted.

Accept for me, this character is.. awesome and his squire too.. I guess..
Accepted. Nothing really wrong with his character. His human-centric mindset fits that of the Talibarian Remnant, as well as his xenophobia. Remember that the Talibarians worship Tyr 'through' the Prophet, who himself is viewed as a nearly divine figure. The Talibarians really dislike the Sanctimonians, their government, and their Church, especially their Knights, for abandoning the Prophet.
One more thing : Remember that this is the age of early (arquebus, matchlock and wheellock, etc) firearms, and that while at this period of warfare armor is still a viable option, guns will still cut through armor at close range (normal RP fighting range), and a musket will fuck you up.

Beaten in combat for the second time, Ursoran was barely allowed to be kept alive. Vladislav had other plans to replenish his fallen army, Ursoran was turned into an experiment and thrall to Vladislav himself. The Blight now the only thing keeping Ursoran alive at the will of Vlad.
Ursoran turned away from Razel Stom after their descent from the cliff. Stom had convinced him that is was not he who had him hunted for weeks and named him traitor. No doubt it was the vampire-folk Stom spoke of. Nonetheless, the Captain was a liar with no honor and was treated as such -- left to crawl back to the city without Ursoran's assistance. That was when Ser Calibos realized it. The Calibos family Zweihander lay back at the house.
Offered little resistance from the guards, who seemed to be fighting some civil war somewhere inside Surna, he re-entered the house, finding a slain Barton and the obvious conspirators standing before them. It was probably they were the hated vampires Stom spoke of. Still, he calmly retrieved his zweihander. He would have to gather more information later, then revisit the topic.
Suddenly, the house shook. The vampires rushed out while Ursoran looked about, trying to discover the source when a cobblestone giant somehow entered the buildings, walls shifting around it.
"Halt, I am not who you seek!" He yelled, only to have the giant swing its fist at him. Ursoran dodged out of its way with a growl and raised his zweihander, as if it would do anything. The thing swung again, this time with its other arm, which had somehow morphed into a silver sword.
Time stopped.
This unholy flesh Ursoran had been forced to live with had manifested himself inside him, and no one would consider the possibility of helping him, other than by trying to kill him. It would be a betrayal of his oaths, though, to not go down fighting. And so he did. He fought for what seemed like forever, and he was tired.
"I am Oath-breaker," He said, raising his hand to use his Blight to stop the incoming attack, but flesh did not shoot forth this time. Instead, he stood in that pose until the blade pierced his helmet, rupturing his face first.
