Eternal Night RP Idea

Sweeeeeeet. :clap:

Hey bebop, since you are recreating the plot and doing most of the work, would you rather create the topic? It really doesn't matter either way, I was just eager to start the thing back up.

I have to agree with Darkom. The forums are running a bit thin on members these days and a freeform rp wouldn't get the tender love and care that she requires. A think a strong adventure/quest-goal rp would suffice. I've been looking for a decent rp to join. Just not that many on my skill level these days. Either it's too formal for me or not formal enough. This one could possibly be right where I'm at. I say yes. Sounds good to me.

I've been looking for another RP, how's this one coming along? Seems like some progress is being made, what with Bebop back in control and all. I'll have to read the prompt again once Mr. Magnum straightens everything out before I make my sheet though. Thanks, looks good :)


EDIT: Not that I know of, Dren, but I have a basic format I tend to use. It usually serves my purposes pretty well :)

Have they already posted the character sheet requirements? Oops. Now I'll have to sift through all the pages and find it...

Here's my proposal, and if the RP is made, I would kindly ask that this be used as the plot template.


BACKGROUND

Three years have passed since the reclamation of Cyrodiil from the hordes of Oblivion. Through the acts of a lone hero, Mehrunes Dagon had been defeated. Cyrodiil, for the most part, had reached a time of peace. But a darkness brewed in the heart of the Mage's Guild. An esteemed mage of the Arcane University, Arden L. Rosewood, made a case to the council against the existence of various lifeforms he deemed threatening to the Empire.
He compared the once invading Daedra to the Werewolves, Vampires, and Necromancers inhabiting Tamriel, and called them an even greater danger. Rosewood, and his faithful servant and master-at-arms Kane Martir successfully rebelled against the Guild's council, and overthrew the Archmage, who happened to be the same lone hero who had stopped the Oblivion Crisis, as well as Mannimarco, the King of Worms.
Rosewood and Kane grabbed Tamriel and slowly began to rule it with an iron fist. They established the Bloodseekers, an ironically-named faction of witchhunters seeking the destruction of Vampires, Werewolves, Necromancers, and their horrid spawn.


CURRENT SITUATION

A decade had passed since the Bloodseeker's branch from the Mage's Guild, and Rosewood was now rubbing shoulders with the very leaders of Tamriel; Ocato, the Kings and Queens of the Illiac Bay, and the Great Houses of Morrowind.
But the Bloodseekers were not the honorable organization they seemed to be. The public grew weary of their shady actions, and soon they became another corrupt hand of the Empire. Bloodseekers had the right to burn towns to the ground if they even smelled like they housed "darkspawn".

Rosewood had become corrupt and greedy, and his slave Kane, now commander of the Bloodseeker army, would do anything he said. Vampires fled to their lord, the esteemed Ferin Dren of the Imperial City. The City became a hive for Vampires, and slowly but surely collapsed from rioting and constant combat in the streets.

Werewolves similarly tried to protect their only remaining land, Solstheim, from the invading Bloodseeker Armada.
Necromancers, now weakened from the death of their leader, Mannimarco, had begun to disappear into the underground... and would have stayed that way if they had not learned of the Book of Ages, a tome from the very depths of Oblivion, one that could resurrect Mannimarco, and bring him back to his full power.
It became an all-out clash between the Vampires and their rampant crime streaks in the Imperial City, the loyal Werewolves defending their homeland, the cruel Bloodseekers, and the vengeance-seeking Necromancers.
-------

Okay, so naturally there's a lot of plot there, but really it will begin quite linearally. You choose a faction (Werewolves, Vampires, Bloodseekers, Necromancers) and then you make an opening post in your corresponding location. It begins in the Imperial City during a civillian riot against the Bloodseekers. If you're a Bloodseeker, you're naturally attempting to stop the riot. A Vampire would be causing havoc somewhere in the city, under the name of Lord Ferin Dren. A Werewolf would be in or near the town, doing whatever a Werewolf would do in said situation. A Necromancer might be blending in during the riot or in an underground sewer planning something. It's up to the roleplayers, but this is how I want the plot to begin. Advancement does not matter to me, I'm just setting a template. However, some key events to expand upon later in the RP would be the invasion of Solstheim, the search for the Book of Ages, or the inevitible societal collapse at the hand of the Bloodseekers.


Good luck, and I suggest using a modified version of the rules and guidelines from my original RP. Thank you.

Sounds good, I think I would very much like to join :D One thing though, you might want to include a rational for the werewolves being there, as I would think they would all be staying in Solsthiem. Perhaps on some kind of sabotage mission, or something similarly suitable. Just to give a reason why they're not back home that is more structured than "whatever werewolves do". Other than that it looks great :goodjob: Kind of a hodgepodge of quests for each faction, but I don't really mind :)

I felt a sort of tingle of excitement while reading the template. I haven't been this thrilled to start an rp in some time. So I'm guessing we'll provide our character sheet templates? I'm never vague in describing my character. If you'd like them done a certain way please say so. If not, I'll a send a character as quickly as possible.

Hey bebop, do you mind if I use your old introduction template thingy. I don't know how to explain it, pretty much the first post that you made on the old rp? Oh yeah and the char sheet.

PS
I like the new plot much better. ;)

Godspeed!

Alright Bebop. Glad to see you back in "action" (sorta) man. :D Maybe I should find my old character from this?
