Help me mold my character! Thread 2.

Post » Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:38 pm

Well, I was playing New Vegas recently with my character, Raize, and sometimes when I was choosing a certain path, I would think "Hmm, that's not what Raize would've done" after picking it. It seems I haven't quite got his character as ironed out as I thought I had.
I'm "importing" him over to Skyrim, where I think he'll fit in a lot better, but I would like your help in finding out more about his personality, likes/dislikes...lots of things.
I want you to ask Raize any questions (that have not already been answered) about anything you like (within reason), and I will answer as Raize would.
I will talk in grey, while Raize will talk in red.
Of course, if you would like to do a little bit of thread hijacking and want people to ask you questions as well, feel free!

WARNING: This thread contains large amounts of roleplaying and perhaps traces of humour. It is not recommended for people who don't like either.

Now, some basic info;

Name: Raize.
Gender: Male.
Age: Unknown.
Race: Imperial.
Birthsign: The Thief.
Backstory (short version): He was born in (what used to be) the Imperial City Waterfront to a Breton mother and an Imperial father. Despite children taking after their mother's race in TES, there was some sort of mix-up with Raize, possibly due to high amounts of residual magic in the area of birth.
He grew up an orphan, his mother dying in child birth and his father, an Imperial guard, mauled on the roadside.
He quickly found he was adept as a thief, and was in the Cyrodil Thieves Guild until he was kicked out. After being knocked out and transported to the Skyrim border, he was left for the guards to arrest for trespassing over the border.

Ask away.

Edit: A new challenger has appeared! Kind of. I'm introducing one of my other characters as well, as I know even less about her.
Basic info;

Name: Kiva Darda.
Gender: Female.
Age: 23.
Race: Breton.
Birthsign: The Mage.
Backstory: A descendent of Kiva Lionheart, who later married Kain Nightwatch. She has a half sister called Natalie Nightwatch.
After a teleportation spell gone wrong sent her accidentally over the border of Skyrim, she found her head on the chopping block.

I don't know a great deal about her actually, so please, ask away. She will be speaking in purple.


So, the last thread was pretty fun, so I've started another one. Strangely, it's now turned into quite a storyline. The original thread can be read in full http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1224224-help-me-mold-my-character/.

We will start from where we left off;

Shivani considered herself a great sneak, when she needed to be. Physically, they shouldn't be able to detect her. And she highly doubted these thieves to be advanced in magic. The dark seemed to work to her advantage, as she could see perfectly in the dark, while her quarry could not. She was too far to hear the group speak, but they seemed at ease. For a while, at least. They suddenly stopped, putting Shivani on alert. As she prepared to back away, on of them used a spell lighting her like a beacon. The man was suddenly upon her, with a sword to the neck, questioning her. Barring her teeth, she spat "Shivani could ask you the same. Why do you have Shivani's horse?!?"

Oh...damn.
*I arrive back in the campsite* Well, I'm sorry guys, I couldn't find the sneak, but you'll be interested to know I did steal this pretty gold amulet, would you like to-
*I see Shivani on the ground, with a sword to her throat, arguing with my companions. She sees me.*
Well. This is awkward.

Oh, and FYI, the Q&A is still going on. If you have any questions you want to ask Kiva or Raize on at all, go ahead!

I'm perfectly all right with a bit of thread hijacking :) . I would feel a little guilty getting some roleplaying goodness out of this while everyone else doesn't.
I would recommend you read the last thread (we even had a little mini storyline going as well) and it also helps if you pick a colour for your character to speak in so it's easy enough to tell if you're in character or not.
Raize is in red, and Kiva is in purple.
Have fun!

*Sees Raize*
"Dar-Raize?...I would have to guess you took her, didn't you?" Shivani knew knew it was better to stay still at this point, sword-to-the-neck not withstanding. "Who are Dar-Raize's friends?" Shivani's interest was in the girl, who seemed to flinch and avoid eye contact with her. "You're a mage, aren't you?" Shivani had a feeling she would not partake in the moon's souls tonight.
Sorry about the bad writing earlier. I have classes Tuesday and Thursday so I had to use my phone to type. Would you like me to use this or another color for this thread?

Y-yes...I'm sorry we attacked you. *I motion to Erik to lift the sword, and help her up* My name is Kiva. Do you know Raize?
It is as you say, Ra'Shivani. If I had known the horse was yours...ah, there is no point lamenting over what could have been. How are we going to sort this mess out?

Excellent!
Out of the options, I would go for Kara, but it's your character, so go with whatever you like :) .

We could give her her horse back, pay her off, or tak her with us.

I would pay her off, but I already have all my money in this journey.

We can't give the horse back, because then you would have to walk.

So I guess we take her with us.

I suppose so. Are you in harmony with this, Ra'Shivani? I promise you a cut of any profits.

Shivani snorted a bit. She didn't believe it was accidental. Patting herself to see if anything was missing, she let out a content sigh to find everything was still safe. She turned to the Breton, still wary of magic users. "Jo'Kiva, I met Dar'Raize when he wished to buy some of my wares. But Jo'Kiva does not seem like a buisness partner of Dar'Raize's. Are you his 'friend'?" Next she turned to Raize, speculatively. "It is dark and cold. Let Shivani camp here tonight. We could share stories, and Shivani can make traditional Khajiiti dishes."
