Description
So, after a nostalgic day I had yesterday I decided to create my Inheritance OC. I first came in contact with the Inheritance Cycle - then Inheritance Trilogy - back in 2006. I was walking through the shopping when I saw the firstbook, Eragon, in the stand, and since the movie was recently released in the big screen, I decided: Why not? The story was interesting, compeling, and it was the first time I read a written work of someone younger than me. Of course, as the majority of people keep criticizing, I found major influence of Star Wars, but I tried my best to ignore it so that I could enjoy the reading. As the book reached its end I already chose my favorite character, Murtagh.

I won the second book, Eldest, as a Christmas gift in 2007, and I was amazed how the story got deeper. While Book 1 followed only Eragon's adventures, Eldest is divided into Eragon's, Roran's and Nasuada's adventures and endeavous. And I have to say, I was very happy that Roran's character earned a deeper development. It was in this book that I met one of the most broken characters of Inheritance: Oromis. It must be really painful to be broken magically. The only thing that I didn't like about Eldest was Murtagh's absence, due to his apparent death in the begining of the book. And then, during the Battle of the Burning Plains, ta-da! MURTAGH IS FUCKING ALIVE, AND HE IS NOW A DRAGON RIDER TOO! And if that revelation was not enough, the book ends with the revelation that Eragon is FUCKING MORZAN'S SON (Luke-I-am-your-father mode activated)!

Ok, I won't detail the remaining books here because I believe not everyone read past Eldest. In short, this is a great series that is not having the deserved spotlight. It spawned a horrible movie - compared to the first book - that was not continued. I know CP was just fifteen when he began writing the first book, but give him credit, right? Inheritance may not be a wholy perfect series like Harry Potter, but people didn't put in the series expetations beyond its capacity. I still remember that when the Twilight books began to be published and the movies began to be released critics called it "the new Harry Potter" Pfff! Yeah, right. T-W-I-L-I-G-H-T S-U-C-K-S! To be honest, of the Inheritance books the only one I didn't like much was Brisingr, I though it was weak.

Now, to the character...

Strom was a Dwarf born in 7892 in Tarnag, Farthen Dûr, as a member of Dûrgrimst Ragni Hefthyn, one of the thirteen Dwarf clans. He witnessed the Fall and lived most of his life during the Riderless Period. Though the Dwarves shared Farthen Dûr with the Varden, Strom and the rest of his clan took no part in the group's actions. This only changed when Orik became the 43th king of the Dwarf clans, and made the Dwarves to join the Varden en masse. After the fall of the Broddring Empire, he went on with his life, and even stroke a friendship with the Urgals. In battle, he wields his trusted two-edged axe, Zahmet, and he is quite savage while fighting, a true daredevil.

The Inheritance Cycle belongs to Christopher Paolini.

Character made with Rinmaru's Fantasy Scene Maker S1

NOTES:
* Initially my character was going to be an elf Dragon Rider, but since elves are vegetarian I scrapped the idea. Then I remembered that I became amazed with the dwarf culture after reading Eldest and Brisingr, so...
* Strom is "stream" in most Germanic languages.
* Zahmet "Pain" in Turkish.
