I have been given permission to take over this mod, since Uglulyx doesn't want to do it.

I know there was an existing topic but i wanted to make a new one, feel free to add your characters from the other topic.

-----

The guidelines are simple. I need a description of your character: Class, skills, appearance, equipment (Keep it vanilla/SI), story, etc. This time around I will have to be a little more discerning with which characters are added. The best way to increase the likelihood that your character makes it in is too give information, lots of information.

The main section I'm looking for here is story or stuff that the characters do. As soon as you get to New Sheoth you are plunged into a city of completely individual npcs all with their own quirks and odd routines. I aim to add very colourful individual characters.

Ill probably add a few more than 20.
You can also ask for camps,houses stuff like that, just make sure i get ALL the details!!!
Also a good idea would be to add dairy's to your characters possessions(incase you weren't planing on doing it)
And if you want your characters Dead or Alive.

So thats it Start POSTING!!!

All credit goes to Uglulyx, and Arbidon for the inspiration

Name: Raeylan Xenn
Race: High Elf (male)
Class: Nightblade
Level: Player + 5
Appearance: Natural Hair style, Green Eyes. Pale Skin.
Equipment: Fully suited Amber Armour and Long Blade/Shield. Has a Paralysis on Touch spell as well.

Location: Sitting down on a chair next to the Hill of suicides, with a little table in front of him. On top is a plate, with some cutlery and cups and what looks like humanoid flesh along with a blood potion. He has a small tent with a bedroll nearby to sleep. The Table, Chair and Tent are all low class, however the Cutlery, Plate, and set of cups are as high end as possible. The Knife is an Elven Dagger with a new ID/Name: "Raeylan Xenn's Trophy Knife"

AI: He has a simple AI schedule to eat/drink at the table, and wander the area, sometimes sneaking around.

The course of Dialogue:

Upon first talking to him
Dialogue: "I hope the next one is Orc, I haven't been eating enough greens!"
Then the player has one conversation topic and it plays out as follows:
Player: "I'm not quite sure what you mean Sir."
Xenn: "The Hill of Suicides! Orc! Splat!"
Player: "I see, you don't care for the Green Skins?"
Xenn: "Don't Care for the Green Skins? Yes I do! Best Part is the Green Skins!"
Player: "That's Disgusting!"
Xenn: "You mean Delicious! You got the first letter of the word right, but today I am thinking something else..."
Player: "And what would that be?"
Xenn: "You have a certain taste around you, seasoned"
Player: "No way, just try it..."
Xenn: "I don't kill, I only wait...here...with my Trophy Knife! Pay Sheogorath a visit and I'll see you soon!"
Player: "Uhh...Bye"

Conversation Ends. And when you try to talk to him again you only get the response, "Hurry, Hurry, I can't wait much longer!"

Journal:
[The journal is stained with blood and green fat, in addition to a few teeth marks. It is hard to make out much of what is written down]

First Entry: I just got hired by the Mages Guild in Skingrad as their personal Cook! What a position, how esteemed I am, I best go back to double check I have all the ingredients and materials needed. I should buy another apron too, this one just screams second rate cook.

Second Entry: Today at the Guild I met my new assistant, He is new and will need a lot of training, but shows great potential. His name is Kruk gro-Grun, an Orc from Bravil. Greenest Orc I've ever seen, that's for sure.

Third Entry: I won the "Esteemed Cook of Tamriel" award today! What Honour, to be named the best in the lands, I even got a job offer for the Imperial Palace. I will say here though, Skingrad has grown on me, and the wine isn't too bad either!.

Fourth Entry: Sorry I haven't been keeping up with writing journal, but it's been so busy! However, today I must write, for the Arch-Mage is coming to Skingrad for a dinner while checking over the guild. What excitement there is in the place today!. I best get ready, I hope gro-Grun was able to square everything away, nothing can go wrong or I'll be fired for sure!

[The next entry looks hastily written]
I screwed up, I don't know what else to do so I'm writing it down. Here's what happened old pal. I made my way to the guild early, to see if everything had arrived. When looking over the order list, It came to my attention that gro-Grun never ordered in the Venison for the main course! What a Calamity! So when he came in, tempers got heated, we argued, and long story short, I killed him with my Trophy Knife, I didn't know I could. If that wasn't bad enough, I knew I still had to cook a meal for the Arch-Mage. I did the only thing I could, dragged Kruk into the cellar and cut off every piece of good meat I could find. I never knew Orc took so long to cook, and the smell was horrid! But when test tasting, it was oddly enough rather delightful. At the end of the day I served all those mages, and I don't think they noticed...but they sure noticed my missing assistant...I need to leave town now before they see through the lies I told.

[Appears to be another entry]
I'm making my way to Bravil, I think it's best I talk to his family...or at least leave them a note...I do not wish to die by the hands of an angry mother Orc.

Entry: I did it, I gave them a letter then ran away from that door as fast I could. I do not know where to go, but I saw a bright light off in the water, I need something bright in my life right now. I'm about to breakdown.

Entry: I went through the light, I do not know where I am now, nor do I care! South was sad, made me cry, but when I went north, I was filled with warmth! Colours saturated my eyes, and upon looking up I could see fantastic skies! Just me and my Trophy Knife now, we'll live it out. I'm pretty sure I wasn't mistaken when I saw a man raining cloud...

Entry: The man raining cloud was no cloud at all, but a place for people to swiftly fly into the ground! Last night there was an Orc, no need to let it go to waste, I cooked him up with due haste!
[Writing Ends]

I cant help noticing that he mentions are you sure you meen the hill of suacides? not that little square of stone that you fall onto if you attack Shegorath?

Awesome character by the way :goodjob:

Name: Strauss Feller
Type: Imperial Knight Level 22
Vampire: NO
Werewolf: NO
Inventory: Full Iron armour, orcish shield, glass shortsword, no helmet, though.
Possible quest: find his glasses, he can't see clearly 35 cm before him without them, you may find him stumbling on things on the wilderness, possibly on Mania.
Personality: Talks nervously, making awful jokes every few lines, sometimes ommits one or two letters. Tends to charge on sight against enemies, the more, the crazier, sort of berserker attitude in battle, with lots of "Eat this", "take that" or "I'll shove your own mace into your darkest cave" and the shuch... In conversation, however he's allways sming and seems a nice man. However he may make some veiled puns to the PC as if they were naive comments...
Conversation example:
PC: Hi.
SF: Hello...
PC: Who might you be?
SF: An ostrich. Nah, I'm a Knight. Entered here to get rich, but this place is crowded... someone gave me a ticket for the glory queque... I'm 12.459, what's your number?
PC: [Starts to move aside slowly]
SF: Anyway, I need my glasses, have you seen them? I can give you candy if you find them [Stupid and innocent looking grin]

Yea sorry, that square stone is what I mean...It's been a while since I've been to the Isles (yet they remain my favorite landscape...shame there are only a few mods worth adding for them).

Edit: I was also going to add, as your seeing to make this as lively as possible. A suggestion to tag a very small quest to my character. He asks to you to go kill the "Greenest Orc he has ever seen" who is somewhere in the isles. The Orc would be set to wander the roads, go to New Sheoth, and otherwise just act as a fully AIed NPC. The player would have to hunt him without a quest marker. Upon killing him (which would be seen as a crime) you retrieve the "Flank of Orc" that is on his corpse, and bring it back...reward is his Knife.

I have no idea on the complications of making quests, but that seems simple enough if one had made quests before.

Heck, you could even make the Orc NPC one of the Orc hereos someone posts.

This is one f my own.

-A small back story on your character

Hes a member of the Mythic Dawn. He tried to ambush an unknown hero on the imperial bridge, after a struggle he got shoulder barged off it. Sadly he missed the water and landed on a small fishing boat heading to Leyawiin, upon waking up he could hear the voice of a cheerful old man in his ears beckoning to him, he slayed the fishermen on the boat and stirred it to where the voice said.
Entering the shiny doorway he walked through the doors of Dementia and found his way to New Sheoth, upon talking to Sheogorath...
Sheogorath "Bah, your one of thoose baffoons that prays to my brother Prince, I have no need of you, leave or il feed you to the lions... or was it feed you lion... are you hungry?"
Now he has become a skooma addict and wanders the streets of Crucible talking gibberish to passers by.

- AI

Basic wandering and sleeping in a bedroll in the sewers.

I have started on yours Treaka.

jhondidfool yours is a bit hard and might need to be changed, considering the quest idea, and that AI, ill see what i can do but the quest has to go.

{EDIT}

Treaka I have never done a quest, i could make it to like a non quest quest lol like he tells you to do it, then you just have to wander about till you find the orc, and then come back and pick up the knife, once you leave the meat on his plate or something

Haha love the dialogue of your character Menion, you should give him a paddle in his inventory just for kicks, or try to convert one into a weapon! The poor guy suffers some brain damage, and ends up on an island full of mad. It just rings "Ship of Fools".

Edit: Actually bringing up a "Ship of Fools" gives me another idea, if it is alright with you, I'm going to write up another character over the next day that you can use if too few people submit.

A quick summary: So as you may know, "Ship of Fools" was the term given to ships which were used in the middle ages to literally ship off the insane to some other place, where in all likelyhood they would just die (Gotta love Middle Ages mental health care). So this guy, who is a madman, runs a ship who brings Sane people to the Shivering Isles. How he travels a ship through planes of oblivion is up to him, he doesn't talk about it. His premise for doing so is to keep the population of the Isles up, since the "accidental" death rate is so high.

Like the last one it will contain an optional quest idea, and reading your last edit, I'll form it around a nonquest sort of way.

In regards to the nonquest you suggested for Xenn. Sure, and it is easily do able with the following.

After conversation ends, talking to him again brings up: "Your taste suggests your a hunter, catch me an Orc will you?"

This the Player can say Yes or No.

No response: "Your no fun, remember Sheggy, Go!"

Yes Response: "His Name is [Name of Orc], Greenest thing this side of Oblivion! Find him and you can have my Trophy Knife! Just place his Flank on my plate and feel free to take the knife. Honor System!"

Name: Beren

Race: Nord, male

Class: Warrior

Skills: not important

Gear: only sack cloth pants

Location: near the entrance to the Fringe.

Dialouge: Have you seen the butterflies? I must find them, they are mocking me!
[What?] The Butterflies, you know, you have seen the silly man! He left, and the butterflies suddenly laughed at me.
[You stare, confused] Oh, if only I could find them, I would crush their little brains out[He smiles manically] Why are you staring at me like that?
Are you going to mock me like the bees?
[I thought it was the butterflies] Oh, I'm fine with them, its the bees I hate.
[You slowly walk away] Yeah, fine, leave me, like the butterflies, and the bees. Damn those birds!

And add Gaenor somewhere in the Isles, as there is no way a god such as him could of been killed by the mere Nerevarine!

there are paddle weapon mods, but other people might not want stuff like that in it, if they have to add meshes nd textures and that, theres i chance it could go wrong.
I will add a special named one to his possesions thou

Ok, a rethought on SF.
Name: Strauss Feller
Type: Imperial Knight Level 22
Vampire: NO
Werewolf: NO
Inventory: Full Iron armour, orcish shield, glass shortsword [enchanted with 100% chamaleon and 500Lbs burden on hit], no helmet, though. 6 forks, skooma, 5 health potions.
Personality: Talks nervously, making awful jokes every few lines, sometimes ommits one or two letters. He may make some veiled puns to the PC as if they were naive comments. Likes spoons. Will give 5 gold per spoon, 15 if silver spoon. [Maybe a special spoon, you know, like The Fork, he'll give you his sword for it ]
Conversation example:

[First greet] Hello, want a spoon?
[Yes] Sorry, there is no spoon. Have a fork, I have it twice. [gives player a fork]
[No] Suddenly, I don't like you [-10 to disposition]
[Goes on] In any case, I want spoons. Do you have a spoon?
---------------------
[Usual greet, likes you] Do you have any spoon for me?
[Usual greet, does not like you] I told you to stop giving me forks, I don't want them!
---------------------
[topic: Give a spoon] Shiny! have some shiny... oh, wait, they're covered in dirt, you mind? I know Uriel does not, he's really covered in mud, actually...
[topic: Give a fork] ... you shure make dessert spoons cry at night... you're evil... Say Hi to Sithis on my behalf [Smiles wide]
[topic: Ask about spoons] I want to jump from rooftop to rooftop. And you can hang them on your nose, as well! Plus, they're the correct way to eat soup... so says the soup.
[topic: ask about forks] I don't like them. I hear there's a guy in New sheoth who does, an argonian, spiky as a fork... You like spoons? You may be able to make friends with him.
---------------------
[Goodbye greet] It's hard to eat beef with a spoon, however, guess nothing's perfect.

ROFL i like the whole spoon idea, ill definetily figure out how to add the right AI for this.

SF's diary:
[1st entry]
I got ordered, I did it! No more sield-carring for good ol' Feller! Now I'm a full fledged member of the White Stallion Knights!
[2nd entry]
Bro-hunk and I were asked by the Countess to hunt a murderer. He has aparetly killed several townsmen in awful ways... We're heading to what some scouts have acknowleded as his lair, an old ayelid ruin.
[3rd entry]
I knew ayelid folks made big places underground, but this is ridiculous, we've been ten days going down and down, our food has almost gone...
[4th entry]
Rat does not taste so bad, but it's weird, if we keep gong we'll surface in Vvandrefell...
[5th entry]
Our shields and armour have broken, I can't tell how long we've been in here... After what we thought a pair of weeks went by, we decided to go back. We managed to get to the entrance, but instead of a door, there was a wall. We can't make it.
[6th entry]
Bro is there... but he's not... I can see blood falling on the sword he's impaled with, but I can't see him... A skeleton came to us, we were defenseless. As it, did something to Bro, I used my las resort, a spoon, to sever it's spine. A spoon!... My Spoon.
[7th entry]
Today I've encountered something that looks like a mixture between a toad and a goblin... how deep did this elves dug? anyway, it tastes nice, Bro's Death, my new sword is nice for it, but they vanish when I slice them, no use to eat with either, it gets heavy. I'll eat with My Savor Spoon.
[8th entry]
I've surfaced dunno where, nor I care. Me and my spoon are in love. She tells me we should make a family. I agree. Bu I'm no spoon myself, we can't make little spoons. I'll adpt spoons. However, she seems jealous of Bro's Death, I have to swear her every night I don't lust after the sword.
[9th entry]
I found a fork. MySaSo said forks are abd people, we should not allow forks near the children, wen we have them. She has calmed about Bro's Death. Glad she did, have a wife and she won't trust you!
[10th entry]
What are those crystals? I've seen people appearing near them... I wonder if they'll give me spoons...
[11th entry]
No, they don't. They're like forks. Spiky. Delinquents. Bad influence for dessert spoons...

Sounds like someone needs a whole lot of help...

I would download this mod for the diary alone (lol). If every character is as bent as this one (get it?) i would easily count this as one of my favorite mods ever ^_^

I feel a kinship with Strauss Feller, we are destined to quest together, make it happen, so orders the spoon! (haha)

-Ex0dus

Write up your own character Exodus! The more the merrier!

haha, I would but I am not as creative (or funny) as you guys have been to this point. Your characters certainly do have character, and if their backgrounds could be written into the mod, it would be all the much better. If Sheogorath blesses me with a bit of his madness between now and the time this mod gets released, I will be sure to contribute what I can. ^_^

-Ex0dus

You can just do a basic idea, and we'll help you to make your character, the mod will take a while before it's released (there arnt many characters yet)



Thanks, Im hopeing it will be epic, I agree with you, that Strauss fellow sounds amazing.

----
I have nearly finnished Treaka's Xenn and ive strated gaiusimperator's Beren, jhondidfool's Strauss Feller is next on the list

I have an idea swirling around in my head, just need to fully remember it. Unlike the rest of your madmen, this one is not funny but should hopefully be interesting nonetheless.
