My main flags is mainly the massive lore breaking in the backstory... as long as the backstory doesn't have an effect on our characters story I'm fine...
Would you be mad if the Dragonborn and Champion got in a fight on top of Red Mountain while Dwemer spilled out of their caves and knew Dragon Shouts while Argonians get laser vision that shoots out of their eyes... I'm sorry my imagination got the better of me lol I tend to do that a lot :P

Wait are you serious cause I would think the wink wink would give it away.... Can someone else explain this cause I got a few things for school to finish.

That moment when you could have explained it but instead, chose not to.

(though i do think i have an idea but i thought you were being more....idealistic)

Elven is what... tier 3...? Ebony is the second best tier in both categories of weapon types... blunt and blade, so I don't believe it to be a problem...

Alright, decided to poke my head in here to see how things were moving along and that right there raised a red flag for me.

Roleplaying is not the same as playing the games.

You have to take a bit of reality and add it to the lore when you roleplay. The only difference between an ebony sword and a steel sword is that the ebony one is going to be more expensive and hold a slightly better edge. Elven blades are just steel blades made by mer, nothing more. They have no inherent powers that make them better than steel.

Weapon tiers are something that should not be carried over from the games. A sword is a sword and when you stick the pointy end in someone they're going to die. End of story. Having an Ebony blade wont magically make you ten times stronger than someone with a steel blade. There's a saying that applies to this: "It's the archer, not the arrow."

Stick a steel sword in the hands of a master swordsman and he'll cut you down just as fast as if it were ebony. It makes no difference.

The only exception to this concept are Daedric weapons, which, being that they're practically an ebony weapon infused with the soul of a daedra, do have advantages over other weapons. Though using Daedric weapons is somewhat taboo and I've never seen a character in possession of one.

Name: Tamesus Saurok
Age: 28
Appearance(includes height): 6' 1", He has a low caesar style cut, a he has many scars on his head due to many previous bouts, his skin is gray, his eyes are as blue as thunder
Race: Argonian
Birth sign: The Serpent
Class: (how you would describe it) Swordsman
Abilities list: He can use swords obviously, He can use Daggers, and he can talk his way through almost any situation, and he dodges and parry's at master level.
Armor (before joining the brotherhood): Dragonplate
misc items (jewelry or tattoos or scars): He has money, and a scar under his right eye directly above his cheek
anything special we should know: He has willingly killed nearly 100 bounty targets with no struggle successfully.
character bio: When Tamesus was born, as soon as he could walk, he was being trained to become a warrior, just as his father was. Whether the training was directly or indirectly, Tamesus picked up on many skills whenever he held a weapon in his hand (which were mostly swords and daggers), he was only 15 when his father was killed by an unidentified bounty hunter, from that day on, he trusted no one. He made it his mission to kill every one before they got to him, however he would not kill in vain, only for a price, his father's death obviously made him paranoid. He felt he had no family to lean on or trust until he snuck his way into Cyrodiil, where he had made a name for himself as a trusted bounty hunter, which caught the attention of the Listener, leader of the Dark Brotherhood, and a couple of days later, he was making his way to a bounty target when a random passerby gave him a note with no name, but something possessed him, the man who trusts no one, to follow the instructions that were written on the note, "Could this be a trap?, Am I being set up?" He thought to himself very deeply before making the decision he was about to make. "I have no idea what lies ahead, but this feels right." And with that, he was off to Skingrad, he approached the door to the mansion and the door spoke to him and asked, "What is the feeling of Death?" and as he heard those words he remembered what was written on the note and in a whisper said, "The Cold love of Sithis?" and he entered. He stepped into the building, with an unfamiliar confused look on his face. But deep down, he finally felt like he was at home and at peace with himself.

I'm not saying the rest of the sheet was in line with lore. I actually didn't read all of it as I was just skimming through. Though when game mechanics, such as weapon tiers, people using magicka as if it were just a fireball shooting hand-cannon (IE: Bob threw a fireball at jim, or, Frank cast rally on Richard. Magicka is dynamic people, use your imagination.), using shrines to cure yourself of diseases instantaneously, and other things of that nature really really grind my gears.

Well I did read through it and it did break Lore, lol. I thought it was kind of an unspoken rule that
gods, Demi-gods, and agents of gods werent allowed. Personally I would never allow this CS in my RP (and I've accepted some pretty OP CSs) but guess it's not my RP is it?

Whoa there buddy. You can't really take a boat from the Shivering Isles, it's sorta ya know...in a completely alternate realm and dimension than Nirn and Mundus. :P

You'll be needing a portal to get there.
