RP Sign Up: The War of Tamriel

Post » Thu Aug 18, 2011 2:51 pm

Here is my Character Sheet for my Altmer Representative, just thought you'd like to see:
Spoiler


Name: Anirne

Race: Altmer

Age: 200

Birthsign: The Mage

General Appearance: A tall proud woman, she wears gowns made of soft silk and coloured gold. Her skin is a glowing tan colour and she is known as being one of the most beautiful women in the Summerset Isles.

Weapons: She carries with her a staff which controls the elements, fire, water, lightning and frost.

Brief History:

Anirne is one of the highest ranking of the Altmer and as a teacher to many she is highly respected and outspoken. She grew up constantly learning and growing in her magical ability, it took her one hundred years before she began to teach and during those years she visited Divayth Fyr, a mer who she respected greatly. During the Oblivion Crisis she became an ambassador for the Altmer and was a constant presence at the Imperial Palace, a place she knows well. She helped protect the Emperor as he went to the Temple and she was around to witness both Dagoth Ur and Akatosh, both of which she has written extensive notes about.

When she returned to the Isles however she found things had drastically changed. With the Province in a semi-weakened state after the crisis The Psijic Order had seized control. They quickly murdered the “Kings of Summerset” and set about their own rules. The ranks of the Altmers still remained, the wise, the Artists, Princes, Warriors, Workers, Merchants, and Landowners. However now all political actions are controlled by the Council of Arteaum. The other provinces do not know of this turmoil however, due to the elves nature not to admit weakness and viewing themselves as above other races. Upon war being declared amongst the different provinces, the council sent for Anirne and demanded that she return to the Imperial City for the War Council. Their she shall try to ally her people with the Bosmer, in homes of rekindling the Aldmeri Dominion. From there she was given private orders on which countries it would be best to attack. A huge army of Altmer is to be sent out after the meeting, with very few left to defend the isles, which the Psijics believe they can defend themselves without an Army and highly doubt enemies will go out of their way to attack. She arrives at the Imperial City with a small escort of four men, her page Sargenius, her two protectors Alterii and Amrito and finally a scribe who will write out the minutes from the council.

The Dunmer are on the ropes, they have little choice, going to war with the Nords would destroy them. The Argonians are occupying Morrowind, they want it back.
I'd imagine much of their old pride is now gone (having your Gods disappear, much of your homeland destroyed and the rest being conquered by former slaves will do that to a people).
Plus, the Nords gave them warships (as detailed in the OP). An alliance with the Altmer or Bosmer would do no good against the Argonians or Nords. They don't even share a border.

I think it's perfectly possible the Dunmer would do these things.


I'd also like to point out that when the Empire invaded that a large portion of the Dunmeri people committed suicide because they would rather die than be under the rule of the imperials. The Aldmeri Dominion is a very powerful force that once it gets going could easily crush most resistance. I understand what you mean about not sharing a border, but seeking alliances with the Nords would just cause internal problems due to their past relations. I know for a fact that the Redoran, Indoril, and Telvanni would never seek alliances with the Imperials or Nords. And the Indoril and Redoran are practically the entire Dunmeri military.

I dont think the Dunmer would get so soft so quickly, they've always been an enduring people. They were cursed by their old god, had their savior killed, been at war for hundreds of years, and the whole time they never once got soft because something bad happened to them. Also just House Redoran alone held off the Imperial legions for 100 years, I think they could manage with holding off the Nords until they could form proper alliances with the Dominion. The Altmer have Sunbirds which are flying juggernauts of destruction as well as extremely powerful mages. Redoran soldiers supplemented with Altmeri mages and Altmeri Sunbirds would be an almost unstoppable force.

But like I said, that's just my opinion.

EDIT: Also I think the Argonians only took Southern Morrowind. I'm pretty sure that Northeastern and Northwestern Morrowind are still controlled by the Dunmer. Northeastern being the Telvanni and Northwestern being the Redoran. However it's been a while since I read that piece of crap book they put out there.

EDIT2: Here's my char sheet if I ever do decide to take a role in this. It's an old sheet that I edited a little bit, might edit it some more later on. There are a few things I dont like about it, but it'll do for now.


Spoiler
Name: Thaden Andrethi, Hortator of the Dunmeri Empire.

Race: Dunmer

Age: 241 (Appears mid 30’s due to magick)

Gender: Male

Birthsign: The Warrior

Appearance: Thaden stands around 6’3” and weighs in at nearly 220lbs, he is muscular and very fit do to his rigorous training. His face is strong and well defined bearing a few scars the most notable stretching from his right cheek down across his mouth and to his chin. His head is shaven and doesn’t even bare a single stubble of hair. He has a twisting blue tattoo on the right side of his face as well, that covers the area from his brow down across his cheek. His eyes like all Dunmer’s are crimson red.


Skills: Through years of Rigorous training Thaden has become a master of bladed weapons as well as the use of destruction and alteration magick. He also feels very comfortable wearing native medium armors and other armors of similar make. Thaden is also extremely athletic and has a rather high endurance that allows him to keep going when others would have failed. Thaden is a warrior through and through.

Minor abilities: Thaden a natural leader and a master of rhetoric. He is also surprisingly adept at being able to survive in harsh conditions. His mental willpower is very high along with his overall intelligence. Thaden is also a master at war tactics and strategies.

Armor/Clothing: Thaden wears the traditional Crimson Armor of the Royal Guard, however his is beaten and marred with the scars of war. He also owns a rather intricate set of Gah-Julan bonemold armor, however he only wears it during some occasions.

Weapons: Thaden carries an enchanted Ebony longsword. When the wielder of the blade channels a small amount of magicka into it the edge of the blade will heat up to an extremely high temperature. The heat is enough to melt through thin metal armors or chainmail however it takes a bit more force to make it cut through plate mail armors. Thaden also carries a large razor sharp steel dagger on his belt.

Background: Thaden was enlisted in the academy at a young age by his father who was also a Royal Guard. The training program implemented at the academy is similar to how the Spartans conducted their militaristic society, only the strong make it out alive. By the time he was in his late teens Thaden had already been marked as top in his age group. Through many years of rigorous training and education Thaden had become the ideal Royal Guard, strong, smart, and deadly. At the age of 32 he was enlisted as a full member of the Royal Guard. He served the various Kings of Morrowind all the way up to the current King Helseth. During King Llethan’s reign he was promoted to captain of the Royal Guard. He served Llethan until his unfortunate and mysterious death. When King Helseth took over he appointed Thaden as captain of his “behind the scenes” Royal Guards, the ones that made sure everything went his way. During his time acting as a covert agent for Helseth he earned a reputation as a ruthless and lethal fighter, there is a rumor among the guards that he fought off over 2 dozen savage goblins in the sewers beneath the Palace while the other guards retreated back to safety. He emerged battered and wounded but alive. However during the recent events and the fall of the empire Thaden noticed the flaws in Helseth’s reign and renounced his allegiance to the Helseth and the old Imperial government. Even though he had served them loyally for many years he never had a love for the Imperialistic government and served only to benefit his nation. After the fall of the Ministry and the Invasion of the Argonians Thaden was elected Hortator of the Dunmeri Empire and is now the chief commander of the nation’s military actions. He has also restored his allegiance to the Great House of his families lineage, House Redoran.

Metal Description: Thaden is a battle hardened warrior, through the rigorous and intense training he went through as a child he was taught to ignore fear and pain. His mentality can be described as quick thinking, intelligent and decisive as well as ruthless. Thaden can become quite infuriated at times, especially when dealing with things that involve the Dunmeri people. He also has a passionate hate for the Imperials , Nords, and the beast races. He often refers to them as inferior races.

ok, made my post. if the ssss iritates you then please say so, but it's just how I imagine argonians talk, kind of. i imagine them also talk slowly but that's kind of hard to do here. euhm, you can consider him entering the room, since I'm not going to make a post describing how he walks to the meeting. so if you want him to enter to talk to him then feel free to do so.

i like the first posts, I actually kind of agree with aSaPp!5@ in a lore point of view.

Erasmos, nice CS, I like it.although with how many are the psjijic order ? because I think it's kind of hard to defend a whole province on your own or with not so many people.

I'm going to try to add information about the status of Black Marsh to, but that'll be tomorrow.

now I'm of to bed. Good night everyone. (or day)

Color me intrigued. This certainly looks...epic. And I definitely would like to take part, I'll be either Redguard or Nord but I'm leaning toward the Redgaurd right now unless anyone else wants dibs. I'll begin a CS right away and if it is accepted, a post.

Tommy and Yttrium, you will have to settle which of you will be a redguard but I would be happy to have both of you. I would prefer it if one of you could be a Nord though, as they are to be very important it seems with both the Dunmer and the Argonians trying for an alliance with them.

Do to the civil unrest in Hammerfell, perhaps we should split it. One of us a representative of the Crowns, the other a representative of the Forebears as I do believe Hammerfell is divided between these two political/social groups, correct? Though there is also the third party option of the Lhotunics if you desire.

I see, so it would be more beneficial to the RP for me to be a Nord then? That's cool.

I can settle with either so... yeah.

As it is more beneficial to the RP I shall take the Nord so that all the races are represented. Though Tommy it might be beneficial to include which group your character stands for, but that's just my opinion. A CS is in the works.

Tommy potentially you may have to control 3 characters, one for the crowns, one for the forebearers and finally the Lhotunics. Thank you for resolving that so quickly. I look forward to your Character Sheets.

I'm not so sure about the Lhotunics. They offer a middle ground which seems to diminish from the inner rivalry of Hammerfell.

I would really like too, and I might if I have the time. However I start my Junior year next Monday and sometime soon I'll also be going to college full time working on my AS degree. So all AP and honors classes+Full time college at the same time= lots of stress and work. As well as having to study for the ACT and SAT. And sports start up soon so I'll be practicing every afternoon.

Not to mention I'm already in two RP's and working on a fanfic. So if the work load isn't too much then I'll join, but if it gets bad I might have to drop out for a while.

Well, in your history can talk about the destruction of the Lhotunics and how the rivalry has been somewhat toned down due to the war.

EDIT:

Yes, anyone can control more than one character. In fact it may be necessary once the war starts, as you'll be controlling armies, diplomats, spies etc.

A quick cs so I can get him in the RP.

Name: Freyr Cold-Heart

Race: Nord

Age: 36

Birthsign: The Tower

General Appearance: Giant is an accurate description. 6'7 and weighing over 275Ilbs, Frey's body is sculpted muscles. Bulging biceps, massive pectorals, hands the size of spades...A man whose body fits that of a warrior, not so much a diplomat. His skin is pale but incredibly scarred. His hair is always tied in wind braids that hang to his neck and sports a huge beard, both a dark brown.

Weapons: Carries a very large, steel war hammer.

Brief History: Before Frey was a diplomat, he was a mercenary. Indeed he remembers his first skirmish at the age of eleven, even at that tender age it was clear that he was ruthless, not pausing to bash in the skull of a crippled enemy.

His evident skill of a warrior brought him to many jobs over the years, from guarding ships to murdering certain individuals. Attention was brought to him by his sheer ruthlessness, his determination to completely crush his foes, he accepted no surrendering killing all would be captives.

His career started as a mercenary but carved a bloody path to that of a commander. As he continued battle after battle the scars and wounds began to take a toll, his reactions slowed, and though he would loved to fight in the front lines and die there, he realized that would not be.

He was better suited at the back of the ranks shouting orders and making tactful decisions, the number of men at his command steadily grew and it wasn't long before he was near the top, and eventually was the top. His wise decisions in battle and the kings fondness of him led him to be an official diplomat.

I had him in another RP but with a few different things about him. He's a very vivid person when it comes to emotion and tends to be the kind of guy who rips your head off your shoulders for looking at him wrong :P

I would have made a better post, but I havent had much inspiration lately. Hopefully when things start picking up I can get in the mood and deliver my normal long posts that I haven't done in a while.

Yttrium has already 'claimed' the Nords but you can also be a Nord. You'll have to discuss it with him however, if both of you decide against them being a unified Empire then they can be whatever you want them to be.

I would be happy for you to join and be a Khajiit but you will first have to settle it with Thekettleison first however as he is also a Khajiit and you'd have to work together.


I'm absolutely fine with having other players in the Khajiit forces. Also, I have a post up now, hope it's ok.
