Descent into Juggernaut IC Thread
A RP by Captainrex and disturbing
Looking for at least 2 more people

Treasure hunter Gaius Wolf-Bane has been given a new contract, the altmer mage Calcelmo has discovered the whereabouts of an ancient dwemer artifact located in the fabled Blackreach, but the artifact is protected by the Juggernaut, whatever it is it isn’t for the likes of one treasure hunter even one as skilled as Gaius. Over the years Gaius has made many friends, friends who shared his passion for treasure. So he sent them letters asking them to join him and take a share of the loot for their own, as the dwemer city would be full of treasure. He met his friends in Winterhold at The Frozen Hearth inn, the party then headed off towards the fabled ruins of Alftand. After they rest the party will soon forge into the ruins.

Armor/Clothing – He wears leather armour and has a gray cloak with hood.
Personality – A grim fellow only his friends see his other side, which can still be grim. It takes a lot to get his trust but once earned he'll be by your side no matter what.
History – Born in Chorrol Gaius was destined to become a high-born noble like his parents, but fate intervened in the form of the Great War against the Aldmeri Dominion. But Gaius wasn't interesting in fighting a war in the name of some Emperor he never met, so he deserted during the midst of battle and headed off to find fortune and glory. He tried his luck as an adventurer and became well known in both High Rock and Hammerfell, it was during this time that he met two people, Aengot Pegaro (a bosmer) and Haaki The Hated (a nord), who had similar interests as he did, and the three teamed up to scour the land of treasures. Together they were unstoppable, no treasure was unreachable no danger unbeatable. They eventually went their separate ways and Gaius continued earning the friendships of many other adventurers over the years.
Now Gaius has been contracted with something interesting, an altmer mage by the name of Calcelmo wants a special artifact which lies deep inside Blackreach, but this contract is too dangerous for one man alone. Gaius has made many friends and surely they would help.

Name –Cohah Iron-arm
Race –Nord
Gender -Male
Birthsign – The Lady
Age – 31
Profession - Monster Slayer
Physical Description – Cohah stands nearly seven feet tall, and has thick brown hair that goes down to his shoulders. He is very strong. His face has gash marks running down its lower right side from a Saber Cat attack.
Skills – 7 max – Two Handed, Block, Heavy Armor, Marksman, Repair (and is singing battle songs a skill? He likes doing that.)
Weapons/Magical capabilities –Cohah has an old steel greatsword named “Dragon’s Folly” passed down through his family for generations. It is five feet long, and has a carving of two dragons wrapped around eachother in battle on the hilt. He also has a strong, composite bow and twenty arrows. He has a single dagger hidden in his boot that he’ll use in desperate situations.
Armor/Clothing – Cohah wears strong steel armor and a thick bear skin cloak while in the field.
Personality –Cohah is your stereotypical nord, he sings songs in battle, and loves to drink. He is grim when sober, and a jolly and fun fellow when he is not. He can also be a bit racist at times. In fact, his friends will sometimes call him “Cohah the stereotype.”
History – Cohah had a fairly boring childhood in Winterhold, where he learned how to deal with the extreme nordic weather. He was a little too young to fight in the Great War, instead he tended his father’s farm during the war, always wanting to go into battle. Later, his father returned, but he rebelled and decided to run away from home, and fell in with the Stormcloaks, where he learned how to fight by bashing in the heads of Imperial bastards. It was also during his time in the Stormcloaks that he picked up his signature racism. He fought Gaius Wolf-Bane on the field of battle once, and they became friends, respecting each other’s skill. Sadly, it was this same racism that was his undoing, as he was caught drunk, roaming the streets of Windhelm beating up random Dark Elves. Now, he is a professional monster slayer, killing anything that moves for a hefty fee, to be paid upfront.

Cohah heard about his former enemy’s plan to raid the fabled Dwemer City of Blackreach, and immediately joined in, wanting treasure and adventure. (Afterall, what Nord wouldn’t?)

Name: Adari Accius
Age: 25
Race: Imperial
Gender: Female
Birthsign: The Steed

Skills: One Handed, Block, Restoration, Speech, Heavy Armour

Physical Description: Adari has long light brown hair, and her face, once fair, is now marked by a scar running from the bottom of her right eye to her cheek.

Weapons/ Magic: Adari has wielded a steel mace for some time, but it always looks in pristine condition, as if it had never been used. Also, she has a steel shield that seems to have taken quite a battering, understandably. As far as magic goes, she has a small healing spell for herself and others.

Armour: Adari wears a pristine set of steel armour, but no helm, preferring full vision in battle.

Personality: Adari is a proud woman, dedicated to the gods. Sometimes she shows spells of arrogance, but that is mostly distaste toward certain individuals.
History: Adari grew up in Chorrol and watched, eventually training with the Fighters Guild branch there. She did some contracts for them, simple jobs, but didn’t like the simple, soulless routine of things.

Her judgement clouded, she made the Wayshrine Pilgrimage to clear her senses. Whilst doing this, she realised that the Divines were special. For what other reason would she be performing the pilgrimage? After that, she travelled throughout Cyrodiil, generously helping her people in any way she could. One of those people was Gaius. When she received a letter from Gaius inviting her to assist in exploring a Dwemer ruin, her curiosity piqued and she graciously accepted.

Personality: Toren has a friendly enough, outgoing personality. Eventhough he looks and acts calm and friendly he is actually hovering on the brink of insanity. Toren hears voices in his head, or rather A voice. This voices name is Nerot, who is quite crazy. Though Toren tries to hide Nerot he can sometimes be sen having one-sided arguments with this voice. This voice has always been in his head, ever since birth.

History: Toren has quite a sad an depressing childhood, his mother was a vigilant of Stendar and his father was a High Rock noble. Torens mother died during childbirth and so Toren was left alone with his father and two older brothers. Toren's father was the governor of the small, weak, city-kingdom of Arrodell.

Toren stayed for nine years ground up to the title of adept before he was expelled by the Arch-Mage for trying to kill Nerot (a voice in his head, see personality). To the Arch-Mage it looked like he was simply sending spells into the walls so he expelled him from the college, saying he was mentally unstable. Extremely angry used his skill in illusion to try to kill the arch-Mage. After severely losing that fight Toren fled to dawnstar where he was cornered by mercenaries hired by the college. After taking out one or two Toren was beaten down and bound about to be hauled off for execution. However like a knight in shining armor, Gauis swooped in and killed most of them, scaring off the rest. As a result Toren told Gauis that if he ever needed assistance with anything to just look him up.

He had enough of it and gathered all of his money from working on one of the farms outside of Windhelm, from an early age, and set off to travel Tamriel. When he was travelling through one of the cities in High Rock, he overheard three adventurers, who turned out to be Gaius, Aengot and Haaki. Chatting among themselvs in a tavern, talking about some ruins that were full of treasure. Having no money left, he only had one option because he was too inexperienced to go into caves on his own, Fendryn thought about asking them to let him go with them and get treasure.
Fendryn felt like he was losing his pride if he asked for help, so he tried to think of another solution to make money on his own, but none came to mind that was possible. So he Plucked up his courage that he had and went over and asked if they needed any help. They accepted his offer, and he stayed with them with a few months raiding caves and ruins together. When Fendryn had gathered enough gold, he parted ways from the group and went on travelling all of Tamriel on his own.
