Desert Rose OOC thread 2

Maybe votes would be cool yeah. But I don't know what the GMs plan in terms of storyline and such, maybe they have something to say?


Well, yeah. They would have the ultimate say. Should we wait for them to see if they already have something in mind, then?

They won't mind. We took the initiative, and they can still say no.

That's true. I wouldn't want to do it and have them feel left out or displeased, though.... :unsure:

Okay, here's what I'll do... I will list some names I thought up (using the UESP wiki), and everyone can either veto them or vote for them, but it is still ultimately up to Ni! and Schmuty, because they are the GMs...

1. Ri'Sakhar

2. Ja'Karim

3. Dro'Shajirr

4. Ra'Hassiri

(Keep in mind, you don't have to like any of these names, and it is still up to our GMs, so we might vote on a name, but if they don't like it, then they will veto it. If you don't like any of the names, say so please. :) )

Those are the four I liked best of what I came up with, so I'd be happy with any one of them. :D

Oh, and Elseweyr people: You should feel free to vote on a name, too. He is, after all, your commander.

Also, I just want to say that giving him a name makes him more real, gives him more humanity--which is important for giving him a story of his own, and possibly provoking some sympathy toward our captive--he isn't just some nameless feline humanoid--he is a person.

I like Ra'Hassiri and Ri'Sakhar both... dunno where my vote would go lol

In the end I think Ra'Hassiri would be cooler though, Ri'Sakhar reminds of something I have recently seen written somewhere... some NPC on Morrowind or Oblivion maybe, or some name already existent.

So yes, Ra'Hassiri.

ps: Ja'Karim sounds like the portuguese "jacaré" LOL I'm not sure but it means aligator in english I guess

This RP is going to fast, I go to bed and then go to school and wham theres a 7th page.


I feel the same way, and it is fast paced RP's that I always found die quicker as more and more people have to drop out. Hopefully this won't be one of those times, but if you are really strapped for time and feel like you are falling behind, do what I have been doing since page 2: Just stop reading the Valenwood posts :shrug:

What they do now isn't affecting us anyways, so just skim through and read the Elsweyr posts whenever you've been falling behind. TBH, I have no idea what they are doing and I wouldn't blame any of them if they didn't know what we were doing.

Good morning folks. And why do I feel the Elseyerian folks are unenthusiastic?


Or maybe it just happens that the people for Elsweyr are just busier?

Likely reminds you of something because all the names on the UESP are just all the names taken from all NPC's in any ES game?

Yes. I speak Portuguese fluently. I was born in America, but my entire family was born in Brasil. I lived there for 4 when I was younger and I just came back from Mina Gerais in febuary.

I'll be honest, I've only skimmed the Elseweyr posts myself, because I would fall behind then... And yes, I think it seems that the Elseweyr people are busier.

Using the UESP, I took Khajiit names that have already been used and changed them, so while the four names I listed may be similar to names that have already been used, they are not already in use. So as far as the UESP shows, none of those four names I listed have been used for any NPCs. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Khajiit_Names

Am I the only one that has actually read both sides of the posts and is still caught up in everything? :P

Also, my vote goes to Ra'Hassiri.

Me too! :) I can't help but to read your Valenwood side lol I want to know how the character interactions will work out and what they will lead to.

And oh!, Lady Syl, that's where I remember them from then! :P I scanned that page not long ago, because I was still torn up bettween creating an Argonian or a Khajiit for Desert Rose, and did not know how Khajiit naming works.

Oh, I've come to depend on that site for helping to understand naming in the different cultures of TES, and also to help make sure I don't reuse names too much... :P

And as slow as the RP is going, I really do need to go back and read the Elseweyr posts now. I didn't at first because we were moving so fast. And then I was busy, myself, so I haven't had a chance to read them. I should, though. :D

I need to wait for confirmation from Ni! before I post my new character, but I might as well post her here
The reason I wanted a new character was because when I made Kerris Vinchis, I didn't know that this was an RP (laugh if you will :P) and I did not create Kerris to fit an RP, he has a short history and rather strong Items, so I want somebody on this that is made for it.

Here she is;
Spoiler

Name: Dar’ji
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Race: Khajiit

Who you're fighting for: Khajiit

Birthsign: Shadow
Skills – 10 max – non game skills allowed: Luck, Short Blade, Unarmoured, Acrobatics, Athletics

General Appearance:
A small mane framing her face, a not-so-bad looking Khajiit girl with large eyes.

Weapons: Long dagger

Armour/Clothing: Sack cloth clothing, small wooden buckler
Other Items: Necklace that she wears, it always fills her with courage and strong will.

Personality: Nice and friendly, but a lifetime of hiding and distrust has left her a quiet, shy individual, albeit very adventurous. However, when she makes a friend, she trusts and protects the laughably few she has. (Which is to say, none)

Brief History: She was born in the Herbalists shop down the road, it has of course changed owners now, but it is still her birthplace, anyway, her mother died when she was very small, and her father was not around very much, as a child she was always very scared, she was afraid of everything that went bump in the night. It got so serious to the point where she slept with a knife under her pillow, and she would grip the handle whenever something frightened her, and tried to seek comfort in its cold grip.
Her Father never knew of this, and she didn’t tell him, not until, the incident... Once, a thief broke into the house, her father was not home, and Dar’ji heard the window smash, and a loud footfall of an intruder.
She gripped the knife and snuck downstairs, trying as hard as she could to will herself to turn invisible, her birth power. She failed miserably, just like most of the things she had tried, she didn’t seem to have any talents whatsoever, except an uncanny ability to turn invisible, and her Khajiiti ability of night-eye.
She crept downstairs, dagger in hand, and the thief spotted her, he was a large Khajiit, looking back now, she could not remember his subspecies, the thief approached, eying Dar’ji’s knife, and muttered something under his breath pulling his own knife. Dar’ji almost dropped her own knife, whimpering, she tried to cry out, but no sound would come, he had silenced her! She struggled with resolve and fear, and eventually, when he the thief was preparing to strike, Dar’ji snapped, quickly lunging forward and ending the large Cats life.
She was not strong enough to move the large corpse, and ran away, before he father arrived home, that was when she discovered her killer knack for knife fighting. After a while, she returned to her father, who was surprised at her disappearance, and scared that the thief’s friends could have attacked her.
He was concerned that her weak will and fear would get her into similar situations, and gave her the Amulet, a family heirloom, Its magick energies can be channelled in various ways, and with abit of tweaking, he was able to change it to help her.

Reason for Fighting: She was always interested in the war, and wanted to join as an agent, but her father would never approve, when she was creeping through one of the alleyways, he saw a Dunmer who was threatening a Redguard, then an Imperial came and got shot, and for that brief second of hopelessness, the Dunmers eyes met hers and he grinned maliciously.
She ran, and when she heard the Imperials cry of pain, her amulet kicked in and she returned to the scene to see the Imperial finish the Dunmer with a quick knife slice. Dar’ji felt her heart pump, her mind race, it was exhilarating! She had never felt anything like it! She decided to join up with the band.

I don't know... I think we need permission from the GMs, but they aren't usually on until later in the day (for us).... :shrug:
