(EDITED PLOT-LINE STATED BELOW)


OOC: Ok, I just feel like RPing, but before I begin, I'll state that I am not exactly the greatest expert on Elder Scrolls lore, nor do I know a stunning amount of details. So expect some parts to be a little vague. I don't mind if I am not the leader of the role-play, as long as I can continue to be involved.



Situation-

Maxismus Draconis, an imperial mage scholar and alchemist, sneaked up into the second floor of the mystic archives. Pushing the door open, he almost dropped his mortar and pestle which he was carrying in a bundle along with his other mastery level alchemy equipment. He set this all down on the desk by the door, sweating and looking around suspiciously. He had come this late for the privacy.
Maxismus was known as somewhat of an eccentric in the guild. Despite his obvious brilliance, there was some common sense and common knowledge that was lacking. His deep infatuation and admiration with the aldmeri and their Cyrodiilic descendants was often frowned upon. Not because it wasn't shared by other members, but because he often talked of the benefits of slavery. In his head he often had dreams of restoration, and sometimes confused his race with that of high elves.
So it happened to be that this day, that he hadn't taken his morning position so to speak.
Thus there was another idiotic plot running through his head, the ingredients he had carried with him were obviously ones for poison.


OOC: Don't judge me.

Name: Zalphon Broodikus

Race: Dunmer

Skin-Color: Grayer than the ashlands, except between his eyes which is green...

Eye-Color: Blue (Alchemical experiments gone wrong)

Age: 23

Affiliation: Mages' Guild

Rank: Master-Wizard

Armor/Clothing: Enchanted Black Robes and an Enchanted Black Hood

Weapons: Wizard's Staff

Biography: At a young age, Zalphon watched his parents get killed by a Golden Saint, the saint didn't kill him, for the madgod had plans. Zalphon was always a little edgy, paranoid, and some-what defensive after that. The mages' guild found him a few days after the event, an infant covered in the blood of his parents. Zalphon was taken to Cyrodiil, where he was trained in the arts of the wizard... At age 12, he was an apprentice, thanks to Hannible Travern, his mentor. At age 16, he was already a proud evoker, and now he is a Master-Wizard of the mages' guild. He enchanted his robes and hood at the university, using the soul of the golden saint that took his parents...and a dark seducer... His Staff is made out of ebony, it is like a standard staff, but instead of at the end on wooden staves how they are gnarled, this one is straight, black, and unique. A few years ago, he was performing alchemy, and a he accidently got some on his eyes, and they turned blue.... Now he is here watching Maxismus Draconis perform alchemy...

P.S. Good RP's have character sheets This is mine if it takes off... im not sure what kind of RP this is, but...

K, if you guys do it in a cliche D&D way, fine.

Affiliation: Mages' Guild

---

Just as Draconis was crushing some ingredients with his mortar and pestle, he suddenly stopped sensing something was about in the room. As he turned around, he found himself right, a fellow magister was watching by a bookshelf. In an instant his forehead began to sweat as he swept it away with a rag.

Slow down there fella First off, welcome to the world of ES forum roleplays. Secondly, it is generally a bad idea to have an RP focusing around one character. Give a general scenario, then let people choose their own paths. Sometimes restrictions as to factions are a good idea, and if you want to have solely mages in here, that's fine. So the plot is a crazy mage is making a poison, sounds good. Where is the room for everyone else? Are we to stop him, help him? You must give these details when making an RP.

Oh, and try not to start the ICs until you get all the people you want. Have you done forum RPs before? Usually there are anywhere from a few to a dozen people in here.

OOC: Always.

Listen to Darkom... I didn't wanna hurt your feelings...

OOC: Ok, well that's fair enough, I'll tweak the situation and plot a little bit.




Situation-

Maxismus Draconis, an imperial mage scholar and alchemist, sneaked up into the second floor of the mystic archives. Pushing the door open, he almost dropped his mortar and pestle which he was carrying in a bundle along with his other mastery level alchemy equipment. He set this all down on the desk by the door, sweating and looking around suspiciously. He had come this late for the privacy.

Maxismus was known as somewhat of an eccentric in the guild. Despite his obvious brilliance, there was some common sense and common knowledge that was lacking. His deep infatuation and admiration with the aldmeri and their Cyrodiilic descendants was often frowned upon. Not because it wasn't shared by other members, but because he often talked of the benefits of slavery. In his head he often had dreams of restoration, and sometimes confused his race with that of high elves. But, there was another infatuation that would harm his reputation even more if known. An infatuation hated so much by the current arch-mage that it was banned from practice by members. Necromancy. His dreams of restoration did go along with his dreams of immorality. If the olden days were to be restored, they would require a great king, and what better then a immortal lich lord. Of course there was that blasted Manimarico he had to assist, he wanted all the glory. Well at least his resources and disciples would come in handy.
Thus there was another idiotic plot running through his head, the ingredients he had carried with him were obviously ones for a poison. Looking at the bottle he would place it in, he smiled thinking, "This will add an interest bite to Traven's breakfast."
Looking around, he realized in distaste that they were late. His accomplices were such fools.

Time setting: Before the assassination of the emperor, after Traven's ban on Necromancy

Requirement: All characters must be mages, they must be accomplices, besides maybe two or more that will be allowed to enter the plot later on. An imperial battle-mage, apprentice mage, and fellow Mage-scholar (all involved in the conspiracy) is required to proceed.Small character sheet may be provided, stating everything that the other character's would probably know (not gigantic back stories, those can come in to play later to explain why your character is the way they are).

OOC: That better?

Quite a bit better, yes. A plan to kill Taven, ascend to lichdom, and conquer Tamriel. Yes, I'd say that'll work fine. I'm sorry, but I'm rather busy figuring out this competetion business, but I'll try to be one of those late joiners. Thanks, looks good :goodjob:

OOC: Thank you, oh and joining accomplices, you'll be coming for Draconis's "midnight alchemy classes, for advanced students", so bring your books.

Name:Ronald Jerod

Age:19

Race:Imperial

Height: 5'9

Hair Color:Black

Eye Color: Blue

Rank:Apprentice

Appearance: Slightly Pale, Weak Build.

Apperal:Apprentice Robe, Blue Suede Shoes

Equipment: Spell-Book Chained to Inside of pocket, Staff of Charming

Personality:Always tries to take the Moral High-Route. Always Cautious. Slightly Clumsy.

Bio: As soon as Ronald was 5, his magikal energy started to flow. He showed talent. By age 8 He could shoot a fireball. This made him an outcast among other children, and he spent many days in the Mages Guilds Library of his home town, Chorral. At age 10 he begane practicing more difficult magic. He showed that his favor was in Illusion, and Teekus taught him some basic Illusion spells. At age 15 he set out to arcane university, doing recommendations for people. It took him 4 years in total to finish the recommendations and begin advanced apprentice training. At this very moment he is in the Mages Quartes studying up on the mysterious artifacts of Nirn, engrossed in a book about the Staff of Magnus.

OOC: Small situational Mistake, the room he is in should be empty at this point, the accomplices have to come to him first. Also if your character is to be on the "Good" side, then he has to appear later. Also, everyone should state what side there on. The apprentice, battlemage and fellow scholar required characters all should be working with Draconis. The others may appear later.

OOC:I changed it so he's set up to appear later, as he is now in teh Mages Quarters

Ohh, interesting. Count me in. If it's ok with you, I'd like to be the conspirator scholar mage.

Name: Edward

Race: Imperial

Height: 6' 2"

Hair color: brown

Eye color: blue

Rank: scholar

Appearance: a bit on the lanky side, Edward strikes one as being somewhat shady and very inept.

Clothes: Mages robes, enchanted, and an heirloom ring

Armor: none

Equipment: mortar & pestle, alembic, retort, calcinator, spell book, mage's staff

Character/personality: Edward is a scheming fellow, interested mainly in self-promotion; he's not evil for evil's sake, but he's not above stooping to evil to gain his ends. Unfortunately for him, his ineptness often gets in the way of his scheming. The one thing he is good at, however, is cooking up spells and potions...and falling in with the wrong people

Bio: Edward came from a large, moderately wealthy, noble family, but one lacking in prestige. Having so many siblings made it unlikely that he would inherit substantial wealth, which thereby limited his options for marrying upwards in society; therefore, robbed of his only two goals in life (attaining easy wealth and prestige), he decided he would have to go about things the common man's way, by working his way to fame and fortune. Of course, it helped the furtherance of his goals that his parents were able to bribe the right people in the mage's guild to accept him into the university immediately, forgoing the usual recommendation requirement. Since then, Edward has bungled his way upwards from the rank of apprentice, aided in part by his uncanny ability to create powerful spells and potions.

Please dont use my character's biography...

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, lol, but are you talking to me?

Will H2

Oh, ok, lol, I thought you might have been saying that my CS looked too similar to your CS.
