Accepted: Varus!
Spoiler
Name: Raime Baudoin (Rahee-MAY)

Gender: Female

Race: Redguard

Age: 28

Birthsign: The Lady - Raime is tough and determined. It's as simple as that, no tricks or special powers.

Class: Light Warrior/Scout
Major Skills

* Blunt
* Blade
* Block
* Light Armor
* Acrobatics - Raime is very nimble and has extraordinary balance. She was a prolific rock-climber as a young woman.



Minor/Miscellaneous Skills

* Speechcraft/Personality - Quite a light hearted joker. Her laughter is infectious and she sees the bright side of everything. Positive outlook almost to the point of irritating.
* Sneak - She's been trained as a scout but was never good enough with a bow to be deployed as reconnaissance.
* Sailing - if it floats, Raime can get it to sail. She's always had a natural intuition for the behavior of wind and water and sailing is just second nature to her.


Appearance and Equipment:
Raime looks a little older than she is, perhaps mid 30s. She's a rough woman in fact, but delicate at heart. She's ever the optimist and has a nearly intolerable sense of humor and high spirits.

Her Story:
Raime was born in Rihad, Hammerfell, the daughter of a long line of Ra Gada warriors. From her very conception her father had always intended that she join the military, and she was trained to use a blade from a very young age. By age ten she was competing in upper level sparring tournaments and competitions.

At age 15 allegations of neglect and abuse were brought against her parents. They entered a plea of no contest, and Raime was emancipated instead. Thus, the allegations were never proven. Rather than remain in Rihad, Raime travelled to Chorrol to find work and make a life for herself.

In Chorrol Raime worked at "Fire and Steel" for a year before joining the guard at age 16. She worked the jails for her first years, then was promoted to a patrol watchman at age 18. Her duties kept her well practiced with her weapons and it was during these years that she developed a fondness for the hand axe over her daggers. She never put the blades down, however, and carries them with her to this day - just in case.

By age 22 Raime was looking for something bigger to make of herself and so joined the Imperial Legion. Her first job was as a Forrester outside Bruma but she was transferred in less than a year owing to her intolerance of the cold and horrible skills with a bow. She spent the next five years as a mounted legionnaire patrolling from Anvil to Rihad.

She has since retired from the Legion, returned to Chorrol, and joined the fighter's guild in order to keep up with the bills while refining her combat skills. One day she hopes to join the Arena and become the next Grand Champion.
Shadow 666!
Spoiler
Name: Nina Othelu
Race: Imperial
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Birthsign: The Shadow

Class: ShadowBlade
Skills: blade, sneak, acrobatics, athletics, illusion, duel wielding, using her enviroment as a weapon

Physical Appearance: Nina is a short and slender woman, her build more suitable for dancing around her opponents rather than for close physical combat.
Eyes: bright, crystal blue, but her cold look often makes it seem more icy than bright
Hair: midnight black and cut to shoulder length
Height: 160 cm
Tattoos/Scars: a black spiderweb birthmark over her left eye, and a small red back spider tatoo on her lower back.

Mental Description: Her cold and almost emotionless nature allows Nina to go about her tasks in eliminating all those she had been contracted to have terminated.But has moments where some emotion is shown, if only for a short time.

Bio:Nina was born to a middle-class family in cheydinhal, but soon after her birth her parents had been slain from a burgerly gone wrong. After this Nina was brought up among many different families, yet every so often they too would die by strange occurances. Seen as a curse by many they sought to euthanise the infant, but a shadowy figure intercepted and took the child into his own care. The man was the Listener for the Dark brotherhood, and he had been told that one day a child would be born with the mark of a web.. who would become the next 'shadowblade' an asassin with an affinity of death.. the first one to be trained for a very long time.

In the right care, the 'curse' was moulded into a gift, the young girl never knowing of the word 'innocence' was trained at an early age and would become the Brotherhood's youngest member. Before she even turned ten, Nina already had a kill count to her name, using the guise of a sweet little girl to be let inside places some would never been able to achieve, and her kills were quick and mostly painless. The imperial had been around death for so long that it was almost as if she was the living embodiment of the word.

Her name was not widely known until she had 'joined' the imperial legion at the age of 18, where she rose through the ranks in a couple of eyars as a scout to get closer to one of the commanders for a more public death. She had killed the high ranking officer during his speech regarding the increasing trouble caused by asassins of late, A well timed throwing knife hitting its mark as the town-bell sounded. Almost coinciding at the same moment as the emperor was assassinated, Nina had become an Enemy of the providence, as her deed had hindered the military strength of the legion as soon as the oblivion crisis began.

The woman had gone deep into hiding since then, using her impressive illusionary skills to magically alter her appearence to stay one step ahead of the anyone would had been assigned to take her out. Her belongings had been left inside a hidden cache, where many dead drops were left. As the crisis ended, Nina had found herself in Skingrad in another disguise where news had been reached that she had been killed in Kvatch (or one with a similar description), But while staying in the city, she had been captured by sheer bad luck. However, fortune smiled at least a little, as these men were not a part of the legion and so they did not know who was under the illusion. She had been dragged into the prision where many men and women were being held.. most did not look like criminals in the slightest.

With many dead guards/prisoners (and punishments for the deaths) later, Nina had been placed in a heavily secure solitary cell and was not touched by any guard since the deaths.


Gavril, your character is accepted, albeit I would've prefered it in a PM but I guess i never really specified that. /oops

All sheets have been accepted! I'll now collate them and start working on a decent OP. Prepare for the RP to begin folks!

I'm controlling Larry, but he's not a character, just used as a catalyst for the RP so to speak. : )

Varus had the fantastic suggestion of adding the names of characters next to the names of the Rper in the "Character Sheet" part of the OP. I've gone and enhanced on this by adding the race of the character and the six. For quick reference. : ) Hope you guys like it.

Here's my character!

Name: Formerly Rahm Decimus, though he has shunned that name and the past that goes with it.
Nickname: He now goes by Barrett, and that is the only name he will answer to.
Race: Imperial
six: Male
Age: 32
Birthsign: The Warrior

What your character is good at: Barrett is an expert with blades of all sorts, from swords to daggers, and is skilled using them both offensively and defensively; He is also a skilled marksman and hand-to-hand combatant, though he's nowhere near as good with bows and fists as he is with a sword. He has used armor of all types over the years, so he can use both heavy and light armor effectively, and also keeps in very good physical shape. Barrett has become very talented in the use of dual-wielding a dagger and sword through years of combat.
Appearence: Barrett is well built, with toned, defined muscles, and has tan skin. He's decent looking, but he's not gonna win any awards for being good-looking. He usually keeps some rough stubble on his face, though he will shave for important occasions.
Hair: Barrett has dark brown hair, which he keeps almost completely shaved
Height: Barrett tands at 6 feet tall, give or take a half-inch.
Eyes: Brown
Scars/Tattoo's: Barrett has one long scar over his right eye, and multiple scars from both blades and arrows on his chest and back. His arms are covered with tattoos, and he has the insignia of his former gang tattooed on his neck.

Weapons: For the moment: None.
Armor: For the moment: None
Clothing: Ragged prison clothing.
Inventory: Nothing.

Personality: Barrett is a not overly friendly, no-nonsense type-of guy. He doesn't like people that mess around constantly, and prefers to stay quiet unless addressed directly. He's tough and gruff, and prefers the company of other people similar to himself. However, he does have a softer side. Once he warms up to someone, he becomes a friend for life, extremely loyal and dependant. He also generally sticks up for people who he feels are weaker than himself, and has a hard time saying no to people who ask him for help.

My guy is now in the room with you, he's stated he's a member of the blades and he's there to rescue you. An Orc is currently moving from cell to cell, inspecting the contents of each one.

You guys are more than welcome to go on your own ways. Just remember; you're weak, ill fed, cold, unbathed, battered and bruised from weeks of random torture and you have no weapons. I doubt you could do much against a warm, well fed, experienced and armed nordic warrior. Ofcourse, you're welcome to try! : D

Hey shadow, I love the idea of your person being all evil and stuffs, but there's a certain sense of unreality. : P Especially as I had never stated anyone's cells were any different than anyone elses and that you've all been tortured. =/

Well thats the point, was no certain descripton of the cells. But yea, think i got carried away O.o like i said Nina is meant to give people the creeps but i may have overdone it slightly.. but someone like her and with her skills shouldn't be left in a normal cell. But once we are all free, she will still be the weakest out of the lot. thats kind of where i tried to balance out the whole thing by having her do all those things when she was first captured :P.

should have kinda asked a bit about what could work and what couldn't but once we are all out theres no need to have all of what she did. But she is still going to be evil > : D

P.S. All cells are open save Nina's. You're going to have to weave some magic on this one shadow. Insulting your rescuer wasn't the best of ideas. : P
