Excellent and no worries Right then. I'll get to work on an introductory post. Expect a new IC thread within the next few days.

Apologies for posting way too early, apparently when I pressed enter it posted the heading I was writing, lol.
My first post svcks but I just needed to get a quick intro in.
I'm working on one, as well.
Tom, way to set the tone with that opening post.
Also:
is funny.
Edit: Aaaaand post.
Could I resubmit my character?
Character Summary: Jesan Valus (Colovian Imperial, 19) grew up as a servant to a Skingrad noble. Showing a little promise as a healer’s assistant, and with a sense of grandiose responsibility, he departed for Whiterun to join the 1st Auxiliary.
Appearance: Slim and lanky, but with a definite sense of Colovian swarthiness and distinction to his angled face, with his chest puffed out he looks quite handsome in the corner of a room. He keeps his dark hair swept back behind his ears in what he considers to be a very elegant fashion – it has yet to cross his mind that the Auxiliaries might demand a proper haircut.
Weapons, Attire, Misc.: Jesan’s erstwhile employer granted him a cheap, sturdy blade as a leaving gift and blessing. He hasn’t a clue what do with it, unfortunately, but he is very proud of the craftsmanship. The leather and mail thrown on his back by the Auxiliaries is less appealing to him, shabby and functional as it is. When unarmoured he dresses like a house servant, in simple but tidy clothes – waistcoats and felt - and is a great fan of neatness and proper dress. His possessions are few but he is very proud of them – a few nice tomes, a physician’s notebook, and his father’s wooden pipe.
Skills: Widely noted in his home village as “a sharp lad”, Jesan is well-read for a servant, and prides himself on his grasp of history, literature, and the theoretical arcane. Household work of all kinds comes easily to him, though as a boy he was no more than a helping hand in most jobs. His particular responsibility was with His Lordship’s physician. The sickly old lord and his bustling little manor kept the old healer busy, and Jesan was trained as his assistant in a full range of basic skills. Complemented by a handful of restoration spells, Jesan can bleed and suture, bind and set with the best of them. His talents await testing on the battlefield.
Personality: Jesan is smart, quick-witted, and caring. He takes pleasure in seeing to the needs of others or, better still, of a great system, and goes about his work with a combination of intellectual and emotional investment. He is no saint, however. His several fine qualities are tempered by a rather irritating belief in his own abilities and his own grasp of propriety. It has never occurred to him that he might fail in anything, or that the world might ever prove too big.
History: Jesan was born in a wine-producing village in the West Weald. His family were particular favourites of the local landholder, who was happy to employ the young boy in his manor, though the small household was full almost to capacity. He found particular employment as the physician’s assistant, a job that would have been quite unnecessary had the old physician himself not had such shaky hands. The boy found the work stimulating and rewarding, and took to it very quickly. By the outbreak of the Great War, he was already convinced he had a role to play as a fine young healer. His Lordship was sorry to lose the boy, and to entrust his hunting accidents to the old man. But what are a few wonky stitches after all? The fine young Valus lad was going to win Cyrodiil the war!
Apart from the name, all I've really changed is the race (to Imperial) and place of origin (to Skingrad).
My first post is up. Took me long enough.
Oh and AyumiFan, you're up!
Hope you guys like the little altercation me and TES cooked up. We thought it would be a good idea to have some mutual character interaction, though maybe not in the most friendly way, lol.
lebiro, your new sheet is accepted, Tom is currently unable to post, but will be able to by Monday. So people, don't be afraid to post.
Cheers, I will begin working on a post. Would anyone (NobleArchangel?) mind if Jesan is in the healers' tent already? Akamon can be his first practice case!
Ah!
By the way, Torbar can be as rough with Dum as you'd like. He won't fight back or try to defend himself if he is getting an ass-kicking, although some of the people in the crowd might step in if things are getting out of hand.
Yeah sure thing. I would consider a collaborated post, for the scene. It would flow a lot better.
Whenever you get a chance, just shoot me a PM and we can get things rolling.
The current post I have basically features a little intro to my character and ends with Akamon being carried in, which is quite a nice thing to end on. So I'd think the next one would be the one to collaborate on as our poor hero gets dumped on the healer's table.
While I remember actually, what do we think is the state of the healer's art in the legion? I mean gameplay kind of implied you can just magic away any wound, and yet we see sick and wounded patients lying on beds in the imperial and stormcloak camps.
Yeah that works too.
Now that you mentioned that, that is pretty weird. Maybe the healing spells they use are completely different from our MC uses. Like maybe the healing spell they cast has a lingering spell effect that heals over a course of a few days maybe? Who knows.
If I were a surgeon/healer I wouldn't waste my magicka on a wound that can easily heal on its own with a few stitches and a good bandage.
It would be cool if most 'healing' spells used during battle were like pain killers and amphetamines, or temporarily diverted blood flow from a wounded region if the caster is really effing good, but the wound still needed to be stitched up afterwards. If they kept fighting with an injury and were just juiced up on a restoration high, they would end up injuring themselves more, tearing muscles and breaking bones even more and whatnot. If they diverted blood flow from an area of the body, there's a risk it would dry out completely and need to be amputated, or develop necrosis and other infections that are very difficult to cure.
Maybe a master healer could just look at large cuts and replenish the material immediately with their mind, but it would be hard to find someone that can do this that doesn't practice necromancy, say.
Anyone else think that would make sense?
For a phone post not bad at all. I like how Gulag implemented some of Akamon's fighting moves. Nice touch there.
I have a feeling that Akamon will probably adapt some of the raw aggression that Gulag utilized in his fight. Also the foresight to stay somewhat on the defensive to wear down your opponent and/or wait for them to make a mistake and turn it against them.
