The Blades - Interest Check

Post » Sat Aug 07, 2010 9:42 pm

This is now a discussion thread. : D
This is an interest check thread for an RP I am creating, we will discuss characters, ask questions and iron out some of the details.
----------

SEND ALL CHARACTER SHEETS TO ME AND AWAIT ANY INDICATION THAT YOU'RE IN THE RP BEFORE YOU POST. Thankyou.

This Rp is a story run adventure Rp which means you will only Rp NPC's that effect your character such as: Attackers, traders, friends, etc, etc but nothing else. The RP and events within will be lead by my character which will be the leader of the group, if you wish for sidequests and such, you are more than welcome to bring them up in RP.

Rules
The usual list:

Only I may create a new thread.
Follow my character sheet.
Don't move time along.
Don't character control without the persons permission.
Don't go all uber please - I will tell you whether or not you've broken this rule - Just be realistic.
I would love it if you could speak in a language we all understand.
Keep it real.
Romance is fine, I don't care quite how far you go, but ofcourse.. six scenes aren't allowed by forum rules so.. No explicit stuff, please?
No enchanted weapons/armour/clothing/etc
PM all your character sheets to me.
OOC chat is to be kept at a minimum.

A few pointers.

In this RP, you start off as a prisoner, you have nothing but the cold rags on your back, you're weak and hungry, your body is bruised and in some cases, damaged. You have seen horrific things in the last few weeks/months of capture. You all start in the same cell room, Larry Wall, the most talkative of them keeps you company, tells stories of the warm sands of Anvil and the tall trees of Skingrad. Home.

From there, you are rescued and follow the group to unravel the mysteries behind these strange abductions and, as a member of the blades, you try to unite Cyrodiil under the rule of Ocato.

The character sheet

Name: (Full name)
Nickname: (Yeah.. What you would rather be called: Note! No one will call you this unless you tell them that that's your name)
Race: (Don't go all complicated on me, stick to the races seen in Morrowind.)
six: (No 'Yes please')
Age:

What your character is good at: (AKA, ingame and noningame skills.)

PM ALL CHARACTER SHEETS TO MEEEEEE


***

It is the 12 year in the fourth era. Tamriel, is in chaos. Locally, Cyrodiil has sealed it's borders and due to no emperor, each town vies for control. The land stands broken and people fear that there will be no end to it. Ocato, chancellor of Cyrodiil; has used his powers to control the land through military efforts, to try and stem the violance that has spread and bring unity to the once great province. These efforts have only pushed the large cities further away from Ocatos rule, civil war is now more than a rumour.

The rest of Tamriel is not fairing so well either. Vvardenfell is suffering a civil war, Skyriim is being invaded by the western nation of High Rock and Hammerfell seeks war with Somerset isle. Valenwood, Elswyr and Black Marsh are currently the most stable nations, while they still suffer from the Oblivion Crisis, their people are still united and content to just rebuild their provinces back to full strength.

With all this commotion, violance and terror - It comes as no surprise that people would not notice a few stolen men and women. Taken, from their homes in Cyrodiil and brought to castles located around Skyriim, these prisoners' fate is surrounded by mystery. The blades, the most secretive force in Cyrodiil, aims to find out more, sending informants and raiding parties into Skyriim to retrieve these prisoners and find out, just what is going on.

***

This is where the RP begins (4E year: 12), you have been captured, from where and how is up to you. But a group of nords decided you looked pretty and took you. You find yourself in a freezing cold circular room, this room is filled with individual cells where other people, dressed in rags like you, huddle to the walls for warmth. You're fed irregularly, and your nordic guards toture you without reason. The few glimpses of the outside world shows nothing but a snowy tundra, a desolate place which chills your fragile bones. Yet, unlike the other prisoners, your mind stays strong and focused. In the night, you hear a fellow prisoner in the same room as yourself, talk of escape, he mentions his names as Larry Wall, a farmer from Anvil. The other prisoners mock him, but, beyond your thin, cold walls, the blades are preparing to act.

***

The objective of this Rp is to live long enough to find out why they're taking prisoners, stop them from their evil ways and unite Cyrodiil and put an end to Tamriels problems. Think that's too much? Pfft, all in a days work for The Blades.

It is a time of great crisis, our own brothers and sisters turn against each other while we watch our neighbours do the same. If the daedras aim was to cause chaos well, they have succeeded in a way that is far more dangerous than Dagons invasion ever could have been. I plead to you, men and women of Cyrodiil, unite under the banner, defend this great nation and bring it to glory!

Ocato, Chancellor of Cyrodiil at his emergency conference.


***

I will allow you all some time to post before the rescue begins, that way we can all get to know one another and begin preparation for the rescue. :) Good luck!

***

My character:
Captain Gravious Cussler
Name: Gravious Cussler
Nickname: Gravious
Race: Imperial
six: Male
Age: 43

What your character is good at: Terrain navigation, long blade, shield, medium armour and athletics. Is also known to play a flute.

Appearence: At 43, Gravious hasn't aged well. His skin is hard due to a long life in the outdoors, his body is tanned and scars dot it here and there. His chiseled features compliment his strong body structure to create an imposing look. Needless to say, Gravious is hardly beautiful to look at.
Hair: Short, grey but well trimmed.
Height: 5 feet 11 inches. (About 180cm)
Eyes: Blue
Scars/Tattoo's: Numerous battle scars, the only tattoo he has is that of the Imperial Legion.

Weapons: Akaviri katana and a winged steel mace, also wears an akaviri round shield.
Armour: Simple Akaviri armour but with a red cotton sash around his waist to show his rank.
Clothing: Black cotton shirt with thick tan trousers, he usually wears a grey trenchcoat which covers him to his feet. He has a large satchel on his back which he uses to carry any of his personal effects.
Inventory: A wooden flute, well looked after and decorations have been carved into the wood. A few coins, several maps and food provisions.

Personality: A no nonsense soldier, Captain Cussler has risen to the ranks due to his loyalty and compassion to the empire. He has a smart head during combat and a civil tongue during more polite adventures. He doesn't enjoy meeting nobles or socialising much with the richer classes of the empire. As a hardened soldier he is no stranger to violance and thus takes quite a neutral standing to war, love and religion.

Misc:
He rides a strong brown horse which carries his gear via saddle bags.


"Hey! Hey wake up! I thought I heard something!" Larry called out, the prisoner rose to his feet, his bruised knees buckled under the pressure but he gripped tightly against the metal bars of his cage. "Wake up guys! I think they're here!" He insisted, he stopped for a second, ears facing the ceiling. After a moment he began to laugh, at first it was joyous, but it quickly evolved into a coughing fit. "I knew it.. I.. I told you they'd come." he panted, his words bounced off of the quiet walls.

The wind rushing through the cell windows drowned out any sound of the oustide world, but, like a whisper - The clash of metal hitting metal became evident. "Hah!" He shouted, "I knew it! Those bastards are all going to die! Hahahahaha! Come on then you nordic swine! Try and win when we're not so defenseless!" Blood rushed through Larry's mind at the thought of escape and revenge while blood lust tickled his mind as he jumped onto the metal bars and tried to pull them down. "Come on you nordic swine! Come on!"

Name: Marcus Percious (pronounced "per"see"us"

Gender: Male

Age: 40

Race: Imperial

Birthsign: The warrior

Skills: Blade,Block,Heavy Armor,Armorer, Athletics, Acrobatics, Mercantile

Minor Abilities: simple medical, tracking, fishing ((he is very fond of it))

Traits/Quirks (NOTE: if you have a trait that affects you in a very positive way, you must have some sort of weakness to balance it): He is beyond a master swordsman his skill with the blade is great from his years of practice and experience. However its been many years so he is a bit slower and not as strong as he once was.

Mental Description: Marcus has spent most of his life in service to the empire so he used to following and giving orders. Marcus is a man who thrives in pressure and is someone you can depend on in the worst of times. He is loyal,wise, a leader and can control his temper

Appearance: Stand at 5 feet 11 inches tall Marcus is Handsome man. He has aged well his once dark brown hair that he wears cropped short in the military fashion is now more gray than brown. He has dark brown skin tanned from days marching under the hot sun. He is a strong man but as he is getting older he is not as strong or as fast as he once was but what he lacks in the vigor of youth he more than make sup for with the Wisdom of a veteran warrior. His face is well tanned and he carries the scars of many a battle upon his face and body. He has dark Hazel eyes,these are the eyes of a man that has seen much horror and great tragedy.

Weapons: Currently none but he can fight well with anything handy be it shackles or sharp bones

Armor/Clothing: currently all he has is his black under cloths that he had worn under his armor.

Other Gear: Damn attackers took everything

Class: Knight Errant of the Imperial Legion

Class Description: Warrior with no magical skill. Great leadership skills also very adept at melee combat

Background and and History: Marcus Percious is a veteran legion soldier. He spent most of his youth stationed in Pelgiad protecting the imperial citizens and enforcing imperial law. Marcus was a hard working and loyal soldier and moved swiftly through the ranks. He has fought in many battles and countless skirmishes. On his 35 birthday it was decided he was starting to slow down and was moved back to the imperial city were the most action he saw in 5 years was the occasional patrol and short fight with a bandit or two, that was until the oblivion crisis. In the chaos following the Emperors death the legion was in a confusion taking advantage of this Marcus set off on his own to try and fight for his country. Aiding several groups in fight daedra and closing gates to oblivion he felt like his old self again. Marcus was there in the imperial city when the great gate had opened. He fought bravely against the armies of mehrunes dagon, but he was gravely wounded and had to be dragged from the battle. When he came to some time later he found out about Martin's great sacrifice. On patrol one day after the oblivion crisis Marcus was ambushed all he can recall are dark shadows then nothing...... He finds himself in a strange prison and is very very angry

Motivation: Honor, He was attacked before he could even defend himself then he was taken prisoner. He wants revenge.

Name: Arwayn Duskmere

Nickname: Other characters can come up with their own nickname for her. I kinda like that more anyways.

Race: Bosmer

Sign: Atronach

six: Female (giggity :teehee: )

Age: Looks to be in her mid 20s

What your character is good at: Marksman, Light Armor, Acrobatics, Illusion, Conjuration, Daggers/knives, Destruction

Appearence: Not very pretty right now lol. Greasy, dirt covered skin and even dirtier, matted hair at the moment. However when cleaned up she has had many suitors attracted to her. She does look a little odd for a bosmer though, because eith the exception of her pointy ears and slightly large eyes, she actually looks quite human like and doesnt have that big nose most bosmer have.

Hair: Red, currently loose and raggity, length wise it reaches half way down her back

Height: 5'0" (152.4)

Eyes: Light Blue

Scars/Tattoo's: None

Weapons: For the moments none, but used to have a glass bow and dagger. (Which she will probably never see again lol.)

Armour: None, used to have Mithril

Clothing: Thin jail rags.

Inventory: Nothing

Personality: Arwayn is a very patient and kindhearted young woman. She is friendly to nearly everyone she meets, and under normal cirumstances she is rarely ever in a foul mood. The only times she will show anger to someone is if a person were to attempt to harm her or a loved one, or if someone is showing extreme ignorance; such as trying to purposely cause problems for another or if a male (or female) flirts with her nonstop and refuses to take no for an answer. She tries to find peaceful solutions whenever she can, preferring to resort to violence as a last resort. However when things absolutely cannot be solved peacefully she has no problem what-so-ever with introducing her foes to her blade and arrows, or to a deadly blast of her magicka. She is also a normal bosmer in that she does harm eat any plants, but does not object to non-bosmeri doing it even though it does bother her; she is well aware though that trying to convince the other races not to harm mother nature is futile.

Height: 1.75m or 5’9

Is it required that the characters are fighters, or can they be anything? Like a baker or teacher (that were imprisoned for whatever reason) unable to swing even the lightest sword.

They can be anything and everything. : D

Your character may become a member of the blades, and they will go into combat situations, so it's highly recommended they have some combat experience, whether it's stealth, magic or combat. : )

Umm... what would be the most likely result in the theoretical situation of a prisoner starting with access to a weapon they are brutally effective with? The reason I'm asking is because I'm submitting a martial artist as effective with his body as any other hero is with a greatsword.

A roleplay, effectively - An interactive story. : )

I'd recommend reading some of the other roleplay threads to get an idea of what it is. Aswell as the "How to RP" sticky on these boards.

You know what bugger it, ill bring back a favourite character of mine i don't know if the blades would want someone that could probably go rogue the minute shes free (being one of the most wanted people in tamriel at the time :P) but im sure Nina Othelu's skill will come in handy.

Ill pm you the sheet when i find it and edit it for the rp

oh.. and i dont know if she would be in the same cell as the others.. i mean some would probably be dead if they were and said the wrong thing.. shes kinda that bad.. >.>

Name: DoNashi
Race: Khajiit (Cathay-Raht)
six: male
Age: 33

What your character is good at: hand to hand, blade, athletics, sneak, acrobatics, minor medical treatments and cooking (when he feels like cooking, and it's pretty basic.)

Appearance: he has short ash-grey fur with a darker grey stocking on his right paw. He has black markings on his body but there is no real pattern in it. he is larger than the Cathay and Suthay-Raht. Because his treatment in jail his fur isn't smoothed down.
Height: 6'4'' or 1.93m
Eyes: normal Khajiit eyes.
Scars/Tattoo's: he has scars but they are not visible because fur covered it.

Weapons: For the moment: claws
Armor: For the moment: None
Clothing: Thin jail rags.
Inventory: totally empty

Personality: he is a kind person that likes to talk to others. He is kind of lazy when coming up with plans and usually lets everything happen the way it does without over thinking the course of actions. He'll always choose the easy way.
however he would go out of his way to help his friends when they need him.


Misc: he likes Skooma (moon sugar in general) a lot. He always carries some with him but the guards took everything from him. He intends to get it back when he finally gets out of jail, if he gets out.

sorry for spelling errors and/or grammar errors, english is not my first language.
