At least no legal one. Having a small illegal trade running under secrecy for the visiting dunmers, the jaded or other is certainly possible. But it's strictly illegal and must run in the shadows, though it can have a legal exitence andfacade in Morrowind.


You make a good point. :)

Also: Aulakauss said he'll join as well.

Second character (if I'll be allowed two characters, Haj-Jei?)

Name: Neffedemelza
Nickname: Neffe
Race: Ohmes-Raht
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Birthsign: The Tower

Focus: Stealthy Magic
Skills: Sneak, Acrobatics, Hand-To-Hand, Blade, Speechcraft, Illusion, Alteration, Mysticism
Class: Infiltrator

Class description: Infiltrators are good at knowing things they aren't supposed to know, getting into places they aren't supposed to be, and getting out of them again without mishap. More adventurous- and in many ways, less subtle- than spies, infiltrators use the best of stealthy, social and magical skills to make their way in the world. Usually less-than-legal citizens, Infiltrators are by no means always criminal- some do it to live, some for more noble purposes, but they all do it for the thrill.

General appearance: Neffe does not always immediately appear to be Khajiit, marking her as one of the ohmes-raht. Most notably, her face and body is furless, save for on her cat-like ears and bushy tail, and on the red tiger-stripes. Her skin is golden brown. Her features are feline, however: her eyes are large and angular, her nose is small and her canines are elongated. Her fingernails are more alike to claws. She is petite in build, and in her movements in particular she is feline.

Hair: A tangled mane of sleek black hair cascades past shoulders. Her hair is streaked with red in such a way that it calls to mind the pattern of a tiger. She wears it pulled back.
Eye colour: Amber
Height: 5ft3"
Build: Neffe is toned without muscles. Combined with her small stature and slender limbs, this gives her a petite look much alike to the compacted-power of a cat.
Fur/Skin: Her skin is golden brown in colour, and very smooth. The only fur on her body is her tail and her ears, both of which are red. Notably, there are faint, lightly-furred red tiger-stripes spreading from her hairline towards the centre of her face, fading the closer to her face they become. Similar stripes can be found on the outside of her arms, legs, and spreading from her spine to her stomach.
Tattoos/Scars: None worth mentioning.

Mental description: Neffe is often quite annoying- in her lighter moods, she will often pick a fight just to see how people react, and loves shocking people even to her own detriment. Those who get close to her find her to be loyal, if strong-minded, a good friend, and motherly (in a bizarre way) to those she cares for. Or at least... that's what she would have been were she not crazy. The problem is, Neffe is no one-sided kitty. She hates men, and especially dunmer men, who there is a good chance of her flipping out and attacking if they get too close. Her past is one of abuse, trauma, and ultimately emotional horror, and there is a dark side to her that goes so deep that if you turn it on, it's hard to switch off again.

Weapon(s): Neffe prefers to fight fist-to-claw, but she has daggers in her boots, in arm sheathes, under her shirt at the small of her back, and strapped to her legs.
Clothing/armour: Neffe dresses simply and lightly in long, navy woollen shirt, coarsely woven though tight-fitting, knee-high doeskin leather boots, and doeskin leggings. She has a cloak, but doesn't often wear it, finding it too restricting if she is not cold.

Inventory: The essentials, some lockpicks, and notably, a slave bracer.

Misc Skills and Traits:
-Neffe loves a challenge
-She is not unknown to pick a fight or start an argument just to see how someone else will react.
-Is quite righteous in her principals if not in her lifestyle, and often will attach herself to a worthy cause.
-Is a natural leader.
-Will often go into denial when seriously faced with something good in her life, more often than not leaving her completely misreable at all times.

Short Bio: Neffe has been an infiltrator all her life, first as the hobby of a small child, and then as the profession of one who throws herself heart in soul into the things that she loves. She's quite infamous in some of the more shady circles, and her name is thrown around casually by certain authorities. Despite being highly recognisable, she's never been caught and charged for doing anything wrong, and as a result, lives free. Guards in various cities would like to claim that they keep an eye on her, but that's a very hard thing to do. There is also a much darker side to Neffe's past, but she tries very hard not to dwell on it.

Here's my guy:


Name: Idros Llethri

Nickname: Ido

Race: Dunmer (Dark Elf)

Gender: male

Age: 35

Birthsign: the Ritual

Class: Spellsword (warrior mage)

Skills: Mercantile, Speechcraft, Blade, Athletics, Light Armor, Illusion, Destruction, Alteration

Class Description: not being a sneeky kind of type, spellswords use their magic to get them into the fray and to get them out quickly. Using destruction magic for long-range and the sword for the closework.

Appearance: lean and elegantly muscular (classic Dunmer). Red eyes, skin color of ash, long black hair. He always (and I mean ALWAYS) keeps a smile on his face. Likes to dress expensively, but is not afraid of getting dirty. Quite handsome for Dunmer standards.

Inventory: the expensive clothes, the dirty clothes, survival kit, plenty of money

Weapons: he keeps a silver shortsword, counting on speed more than on strength; he also keeps some knives with him constantly. Likes to use fire damage spells. Also likes to use poison but doesn't make it himself.

Armor: uses all kinds of armor. Buys it for the occasion but prefers light armor so as not to weigh him down

Bio & Personality: Ido comes from the Llethri family which is one of the most important and wealthiest families of House Redoran. Schooled in all the traits of a Dunmer noble, he wanted to do something with his life. He left behind the boring life of a future councilman and decided to go adventure hunting. Presently, he was recruited by the Dres to go hunting for escape slaves. He doesn't do it for money, just for the fun of it. He has no compassion for the beastfolk and likes to hunt them for sport.
Despite his arrogance, he is a very skillful mage. He spent a lot of time and effort to master the Fire side of Destruction school. He does not have infinite magicka on his hands but usually doesn't need it. His particular weakness is to blow up things with fire spells. He does not bother with lockpicks, he prefers to blow the door away. If using a silent approach, he will use Unlock/Open spells.
He believes women to be inferior to men. To him they are just for entertainment and has no desire of settling down.
Despite this prejudice, Ido has a most charming approach to people. He likes to manipulate individuals to his interest. He likes to kill because it makes him feel... good. He likes nothing more than revealing himself in a close pack of escaped slaves and to pick them out one by one with his fireballs. The word cruelty is a joke to him.

He's a good char, but imperials are strongly opposed to slavery, and are possibly the least racist race. A dunmer (or at least an elf of some kind) is the only really plausible slave-trader. But we'll see what the OP thinks.

EDIT: And there is absolutely no slave trade in the Imperial City. :/


That's why I think he is such a dangerous character, if he succeeds and the slave trade spreads to the Imperial city, the whole empire is exposed to slavery. His underground slave trade will try and get the upper-classmen on his side,then eventually force the Elder council to legalize slavery.

But upper-class imperials were opposed to slavery in the first place, that's why it wasn't legalised. He's a good character, and I imagine he could make good business with Dunmeri rich folk, but I think actually corrupting a commonly held belief and changing the laws of the empire is a bit ambitious and unrealistic of him.

Unlike making an illegal fortune in the slave trade, that is more feasible.

I just realized I quoted illusionary because I was to lazy to hit reply.

Side note: I am still interested I am just having a brutally painful time coming up with a decent back story for my character.

Well, I'ts good to see you finnally got this up, man. we have been waiting for a long time to liberate the argonians.

Name: Soliol

Race: argonian

Gender: male
Age: 38

Birthsign: The Lady

Class: Defender

Skills: Speechcraft, Mercantile, illusion, restoration, destruction, Spear, unarmoured

Appearance: Soliol is a tall argonian with several scars on his chest. His eyes are small and make him look like he is constantly squinting. He has a long dorsal fin on the back of his head. His scales are a green- blue combonation. Ne walks with a limp on his left laeg due to abuse when he was a slave
Inventory:25 gold coins, Blue Shirt with a black leather vest, black pants, steel spear


Bio: Soliolwas born a slave on a wealthy plantation owned by the dren. His slavemaster was a drunk, and constantly beat him and the other slaves. One time, in a drunken rage, he attacked soliol with a club and broke soliol's leg in many places. No amount of restoration magic that any of the argonians around him knew would help his leg. Despite the beatingsd, Soliol tried his hardest not to hate. He began to worship the imperial gods, and converted his fellow slaves to imperial beleifs. He firmly beleived Mother Mara would show mercy and let them all free, and one day their prayers were awnsered. When soliol was 28, A drought struck Vvardenfell, and much of the plants died. The plantation was sold, and the slaves were set free.

Soliol then decided to go on a mission: Stop slavery. but not through violence, through peace. He wanted to show that, like the nine divines taight, theycoulad all live in harmony if one man was willing to work for harmony. so, Soliol began to preach against slavery in public places. many scoffed him, and Soliol was making little progress. Soliol was slowly losing hope in these people. would they ever listen. He heard about the Trade guild, a violent organization against slavery, and despite his beleifs, debt and circumsatnces forced him to join their ranks. his ultimate beleif is that he may not be able to change the dunmeri hearts, but maybe change the hearts of his fello argonians.

Personality: Soliol is slow to anger and quick in kindness. he seems to constantly have an aurora of calm around him, and when he talks, people have said, it's as if he is talking directly to you, even when he is preaching to a crowd. He is very public about his beleif in the nine, and consantly mentions them and alway triesto act like them. He can be too trusting of peple, though, due to the fact he beleives inside all men are good.

I don't see why we should let this one go down the drain. If Haj-Jei is not interested in leading it, I suggest someone else takes the reins. We have plenty of experienced RP players here.

i have been talking with Haj- hei, and he says he is turning this into a fan fiction on his blog, so I think he is unaware of this RP still being active. I'll talk to him about it, but if not, someone else should definatly take his place.
