Edited for excessivness. And because I need this character to be in the RP without spoilers.

I...I won't lie. Don't you think that might just be a tad excessive?

Yes. I do

So I changed the story a bit. I won't post it here because I don't want to ruin the RP experience. From now on, do not mention the character again. Thank you.

Name: Krom Grimblade

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Race: Nord

Birthsign: Warrior

Physical Description: Krom is short for a Nord standing at exactly 6 ft tall, but dont count him out as massive for he is like a boulder weighing 270 pounds of solid muscle. His body is covered in blue Nordic ruin and symbol tattoos. Krom's face has three long scars across it from a long distant fight with a snow bear which runs across his face from the left side of his hairline to the right side of his jaw just missing his eyes. Krom wears his hair shaved so that there is barely stuble. As for facial hair he has a short black braided beard.(in a chinstrap fashion with the growing longer into the chin area were there can be found the braids)). Krom's eyes are hazel and often change color between green and brown. His eyes are piercing like they can look right through you. These are the eyes of a man who has seen terrible things. His skin is a bit darker than most Nords from having spent most of his time outside.

Mental Description: Krom is calm and quite which is strange for a nord . He speaks only when he feels he must and only then if it is worth saying. Though not overly complex Krom is a good man. Though in battle he becomes consumed by a uncontrollable rage and any that stand in his way will be slaughtered. Krom is a heavy drinker, a warrior with noble intentions but also he is a survivor. He is loyal to his few friends and will die to protect those that can not protect themselves. If you are his enemy you will die. He will not stop and he does not show mercy to those of have wrong him or innocent people.

Class: Berserker Warrior

Class Description: Like the Warrior he is a melee fighter skilled with almost any weapon but having almost no talent with magic. Berserkers live off the land so are skilled hunters. Unlike the warrior they are consumed with a inner rage so they will not back down from a fight and will fight till they or their opponent are dead.


Skills: Blade,Blunt, Tracking, Heavy Armor, Athletics, Acrobatics, Smithing, Block

Weapons: the ancient nordic claymore Dragon's Fang, a one handed silver nordic battle axe, 5 nordic daggers

Armor: Krom wears full plate ebony armor in a nordic style. it has none of that gold gilding in it just some silver to make the nordic symbols more clear. His armor is truly unique having been made by a smith as a gift for saving him from raiders 6 years ago. Krom wears no helm though perfering to have his head out in the open so he can see and smell better.

Misc. Items: Across his shoulder like a cape Krom wears the pelt of the snow bear that he had slain when he was younger and who had also given him the scars he has to this day. He prefers to carry little aside from his weapons and armor he carries his pack which holds a simple tent some food and of course his Rotgut ((its a very strong nordic drink)) He also has a few small traps so he can find game when he is out in the wilds.

History: Krom Grimblade is from the village of Dragon Wood. It is a very old town settled with the first of the Nords came to Skyrim. Krom could trace his bloodline to the 500 hundred warriors who had come to skyrim to battle the elves in times long past. Krom's Grandfather was the village leader and was a bear of a man standing almost seven feet tall His name was Roran Grimblade also known as the Bear. The village though small was of heart people each villager was a warrior in their own right. One day when Krom was out hunting with a few of the Village elders Raiders attacked. Though caught by surprise The people rallied and made a stand at the ancient mead hall. For Krom's family it would be there last for every one of his kin that fell they took at least three. Krom ran back to the village when he heard the sound of battle but he would never forgive himself for not being there to fight beside his family. The village had been saved but his family had fallen defending it, saving the young and elderly. Walking over to the corpses of his family Krom fell to his knees at the side of his grandfather and there he made a vow to avenge his people and his kin to defend the weak and the innocent. Krom took the ancient family blade Dragon's Fang and in doing so sealed his fate. For the sword was no mere weapon but an ancient blade that had defended the people in times long past from the creatures it was so named after and carried within itself almost life it did not speak to it but he felt its rage its hatred the hatred of his ancestors in taking the blade he no longer had a choice he was the last of his bloodline and he was going to set things right. After the battle after all the wounded and dead were taken care of Krom left. To find the raiders and to aid his people in any way he could. He has tracked down each and every raider slaying each one without mercy, but he never felt the peace he thought he would find with each kill his inner fury only grew his rage starting to consume him. He has helped countless people and saved many lives and now wanders skyrim in hopes of finding a worthy opponent. A messenger has finally found him and gave hims a missive from the king. Maybe now he finally has a worthy quest perhaps in performing the deeds of his ancestors he can finally forgive himself.


Motivation For Aiding the King: Honor and aiding his people in time of need and if all else fails something he can direct his berserker rage on.

Using the same character for multiple RP's seems to be getting more frequent now, IMO. Maybe I've just never noticed, or maybe it really is more popular but the character I'm using in Verlox's RP is the only character I've ever re-used for an RP (AFAIK of course). Are people just becoming more attached to their characters, or do people think it's some "hidden rule" or something?

Does it ever get boring playing the same 1 or 2 characters over and over? I'm not being a dike or anything, I'm truly curious. Even after being in.... 2 or 3 Timeline RP's, where character continuation seems encouraged, I've never stuck with one before.

I don't think it's boring, but often than not a character that I use in one RP may not really fit in another so I usually make up characters to fit the RP in question. But mostly I wished I could reuse my characters as you get familiar with and in some rare cases attatched to them, and it gets easier to play them, as opposed to "getting to know" a completely new character.

I am very attached to my characters and I often use them in many RP's. It depends on the timeline, really. I write their personality accoroding to the timeframe from when they were otherwise reckless and immature to responsible man and womrm with purpose. I mean, I've made 4 characters, two female and two male, which frankly never bores me because there is always room to improve them.

I just build new characters for each RP. It allows me to try out different concepts, and tailor the character to fit the RP.

And having a "stable" of characters, so to speak, has always raised my eyebrows. I just can't understand why people would wanna use the same character over and over, unless there is an RP reason to do that. Like in the Timeline, if you've played...say....the Baron of Dwynnen before, you can't just up and change the baron into a different character. But in adventure RPs that have no story relations to each other, using the same character over and over again is something ultra-foreign to me.

I don't plan on using any other character than Juhanor for any RP I participate in; that bastard Khajiit is the only character I would consider playing as, ever. Probably because I am so used to playing TES games as him, you know? Just part of my mindset for this series, or something...

Hmmm, seems opinion is mixed with a stronger lean to the "reuse" character side. I agree with Verlox on an RP with a continuous storyline like the IBT, but I suppose I can also see why people like using their same character(s) for adventure-type RP's as they can add the experiences of their previous RP's to their character.

I guess I just prefer to try different concepts out whenever I have the chance :shrug:

You've just been near my lazy ass too much, because I reuse my characters all the time. No one else does it as much, besides a few of the other timeline guys.
