This could be very beneficial to Valenwood, though. I could see very interesting results from this... :D


i hadn't even thought of that :P

Ii'm just gonna go for a Bosmer, almost finished the character sheet. do I send the sheet to the GM of valenwood or to both, Ni and Schmuty Buncis?
I just wondered, is there a restriction on were-creatures or parents bein were-creatures? he ownes a necklace with a wooden head of a mountain lion which he got from his mother and father. the animal would represent what they become in their changed form, but the curse (or gift) hasn't yet manifested or possibly won't withing him. I'm not sure if I want him to be a were, so i thought to add that as a possibility, if it could add anything to the story.

edit: is it even possible for were parents to give there curse to their child?

Damn, you a werecreature too? I had Kraven leave Skyrim to live in Valenwood because it's mostly all jungle and wilderness. And he's on the lam from hunters. He's a werewolf. So maybe both of us can be friends? I doubt I will have my character transform in the RP at all, because you cannot control Lycanthropy. You will be forced to kill and murder everyone around you. So I added two characters, if the RP has a full moon, I can have Kraven leave and use my other character. Then in morning Kraven returns to the base. I didn't even mentioned he was a werewolf, I was just going to have everyone imagine he was human, because that is the scenario in the RP. So avoid going around saying "I am a werecreature" to those who are not ;), unless you want people to kill you.

In lore, there is no restriction, because Daggerfall even said that Lycanthropy is not only passed by a bite or scratch, but by birth as well. But in the RP, well you must wait for the GM to go ahead and say it.

This could be very beneficial to Valenwood, though. I could see very interesting results from this... :D

Also beneficial to Elseweyr too, since he is a Lycanthrope, he will kill any person, friend or foe. Unless he qualifies himself to run into the Khajiiti camp and hide until he can transform nearby, away from the Valenwoodies(:P)

Trust me when I say this place is much more of an accepting community now then it was when I started joining RP's. Most of the elitists have been run out with torches and pitchforks or have changed their ways with our brainwashing methods and being nobody is going to call you on anything just because it's your first RP or anything.


^This. My first attempt to join an RP, I got bashed because my "brief history" was too brief. It took me awhile before I even attempted to join another.

It's definitely comforting to know that the hard-core RPers that are still here aren't expecting us all to know everything we should know about RPing. Please, go easy on us... Be gentle, oh great ones! ;)

you cannot control Lycanthropy


Ah, okay... See, this I did not know...

so I guess I could be a werecreature too. well I'm not sure about him having the curse or not eventually. if I get green light, it might manifest itself during a full moon for the full moon. maybe Kraven notices Weldarion (my bosmer) to be a werecreature and warnes him to go away from the others.

I'm not sure yet about a second character, Sheet however is almost compleet. I'm just not sure if i'll be able to manage both. I only recently started roleplaying.

good point. I always thought it to be more or less controling when having enough training, willpower or experience with it or something like that. Maybe just being able to tell friend from foe.

Maybe with Hircines ring, it can atleast supress the bloodlust. See, besties need to kill to wake up healthy. If a werewolf does not kill a person(Yes, mer, human or beastfolk), then they risk dying when in human form. So they must kill everything in sight to sate the beast within. It's both a divine intervention from Hircine and a natural/unnatural process going on with Lycanthropes.

Well, that depends. See, main beef that people have in regard to vampirism and Lycanthropy in RP is that people can make it that their characters are super powerful, unstoppable creatures. Also, they make it that their characters have a way to "only feed on animals" or "control their Lycanthropy"(There is a single way known in lore, and that's using Hircine's ring as I mentioned above). It tends to get boring to most and annoying. I for one like to RP with vampires and werewolves, since some of my characters are either creature. But I make their condition unknown at most times only to spare the burden to other Rpers. Does that mean they are friendly and only vow to eat animals? Chea right...they could care less about humans lives, it's their nature and they know it. But then again, the "I feel bad for killing people" scenario is also a good thing, if you know how to handle it properly.

As in regard to your managing of character, if it's okay with the GM, we can split up from the group and go deep into the jungles and stay there for a night, then return in the morning. It will spare the fact that we might be present around and attack everyone on sight. It would be the logical and responsible thing to do. See the curse can be manifest when the cursed individual grows of age, as RL lore suggests it, and ES lore adopts the concept of Lycanthropy into the games. You can have Weldarion be a hereditary Lycanthrope, but in the stage of which his curse is still dormant. Or you can go with the plan of it being already manifested in his life or about to manifest. It depends on you really. And if we are allowed to have Lycanthropes.

Really? How long ago was that? Because when I first started (many, many moons ago) everyone was incredibly supportive. Although, I didn't join any of the "major" RP's at the time. Preferring to stick to the less popular ones (I use the term loosely, it's not an insult to anyone I RP'd with, I had a great time), where my obvious lack of experience wouldn't be so evident.

But I'm glad that those of us who're a bit unsure have an excellent community to help us out.


That means you were one of them :laugh: jk, but I dunno, maybe we saw the forum differently. I won't go into my views of it here, except that I'm glad to see a bunch of new, non-elitist folk joining RP's again :)

so you risk dying when in human form? guess it would be hard to go deep into the jungle and still find a person to feast upon... if it's managable n the roleplay it'll be about to manifest.

He already is someone who is kind to people but also doesn't have a problem with killing. he can change from nice to ready to murder in seconds(not saying his unstable). So he won't mind killing for himself to survive, he has already come to piece with the fact he could be infected.

In Daggerfall and Bloodmoon, the player risks dying after they go past their second transformation without killing and devouring a human. I am sure there are man explorers, bandits, bosmer tribes in the jungles that would make great food. Werewolves and Lycanthropes can detect prey thousands of feet away(Again, a gameplay fact in Bloodmoon). They are the ultimate hunters, I am sure they can find something good to bite down.

As for your character, good then. Most people tend to commit suicide in ES when they are Lycanthropes(Daggerfall). PM me on your character, I can give you some tips about it ;)

okidoki. i didn't find anything about the needing to eat a person on the lore section of lycanthropy, should've looked at daggerfall and bloodmoon. :facepalm:
What about eating dead people? when they haven't euhm decomposed to much? Or is the killing part necessary ?

just trying to get more info on the subject.maybe we should take this to pm?

It's late for us GMs in New Zealand (Ni) and Australia (Me), alas. The Rp will, however start soon. I hate you time-zones.

Edit: And I bet Ni's asleep. They're 2 and a half hours from my state and city (which would be around 12:30am for him).

Woooo! :twirl: Go Australia!

*EDIT* Ha! I bet you live in WA!

I also fleshed out my history, I realized, although it says brief, I think I overexercised that...

Brief History: A citizen of Anvil, his mother worked at the Flowing Bowl as a waitress, but she didn’t receive good pay, so he was always a poor lad. When his mother died he had to scratch his own living, he left Anvil for the Imperial City, but the travel fees used all his money and more. So he had to run from the law, ducking in and out of caves, thus building up his acrobatics, athletics, and agility. But he ended up being spotted by a guard on horseback, and he had to retreat away from the Empire. South. To Elsweyr.

He lived in Riverhold for a few months, but eventually the Legion Agents on the area almost found him and he needed to getaway to another city, so he moved South towards Orcrest where he lived for a long while, except he ended up owing some underworld types some gambling money, when he couldn’t pay them, they beat him and left him for dead in the desert outside, luckily his already-formed dungeon skills helped him survive and continue searching for money to pay those he owes, so he ended up spending a few years Roaming Elsweyr searching for his fortune, which he never found, however he did find alot of exotic and powerful armor and weapons which he uses.

EDIT* Fixed grammar, and spelling.

I hope we can get this started soon, looks beastly!

Went to school today and had standardized testing all day. Which means I've been sitting in the same room...all day. And, since we couldn't have phones/iPods on our person all day, I've been bored all day. So I'm ready to feel like I've accomplished something today.

Quick question: The Valenwood and Elsweyr companies in the RP? Do the players make up the whole unit, or are there NPC's in the squads too?

Prob stupid question, but I just wanna know...

I remember those days... You have my sympathies... ;)

As far as the NPCs, I think there are meant to be some, but I don't know for sure... You'll have to wait for either Ni! or Schmuty to find out, because they are the masters of this RP. :bowdown:

Well, regarding the NPCs, from what Ni! said here in the OP:

You will be in a Company with the rest of the Elsweyr team, which will also contain Healers and other species of Khajiit, such as Alfiq and Senche-Raht


My guess is that there are going to be some yes. But nothing to be sure like waiting for them to answer. It is likable though, even if this is mainly a PvP RP (is it?)

And I too would be glad if the hardcoe'ers wouldn't be too harsh on newbies :turned:

I am really curious to see how this develops! Too bad the "today" is almost over for me though... half an hour left, roughly...

Hey guys, just throwing this out there, don't forget about the "Green Pact". No one is allowed to use plants or vegetable matter for any reason, even food.

Wow! I had totally forgot about that Pact. That will provide some awesome moments, hopefully! Now I envy you Valenwooder's eheh, wish I was playing a Bosmer.

"a section of the pact that also states a Bosmer must eat his fallen enemy;"

Is any of you thinking of doing this? Perhaps some NPCs will... this just keeps getting more epic :biggrin:

I'm sure if you die, you could probably be allowed to work another character in somehow if you wanted to keep in the RP.

If I die, plz let my body rest in peace (as opposed to devouring it).

Yeah, you'll probably be allowed to take control of a brand-new character (one RP I played a while ago allowed dead people to take control of certain NPCs, which was cool).

EDIT: Hey, Ni! Any idea when we can get this show on the road?

It isn't law to follow the Green Pact. Some Bosmer choose not to follow it, although these certainly are a minority. It is worth noting the Green Pact, though. If anyone wants to change their sheets to accommodate it or use it in the RP, do so.

EDIT: Argh! Wth?! I had all these replies but where are they? ffffuuuu

Thanks for sharing this! I did not know about it! However, I think Raven will be one of those rare ones who doesn't follow it...

I'm US, too, but I'm usually on and off throughout the day because I'm a stay at home mom. ^_^

As long as I'm not more busy than usual and my internet connection is good, I should be able to keep up pretty well with the RP.
