The Dragonslayers

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:12 am

Just an interest check, questions and character application thread! Four spots for now, might add more now or later depending level of interest.


Originally, the blades had started out as famed Dragonslayers. They would set out across Skyrim and Tamriel and hunt the dragons down with the full intent on killing them. With the rise of the Dragonborn and the defeat of Alduin their roles changed from Dragon Slayer to Bodyguard and agent, their portfolio changing and broadening considerably over the years from the first Era through to the third and finally their fall during the Fourth Era. Though few remain from the efforts of the Thalmor in rooting out all of their agents the blades have hidden themselves away, seeking to keep themselves alive until another dragonborn arises. Though with the rise of Alduin and the many dragons that have been resurrected it seems the new dragonborn has far more to deal with than what they can handle. Each day the dragon threat grows, more and more come alive from the graveyards and so the remnants of the blades have started putting out covert feelers for capable men and women from any walk of life to help them in ridding the dragon menace from Tamriel, starting with Skyrim.

The new recruits have been instructed to meet at Vindrel Hall in Markarth, each of them given a small ring with a dragon head engraved to the top as a sign of having accepted the offer from the agent that met them. Their new future, awaits.

Rules:
No Character Control
No Godmodding
Romance to be kept to a PG13 rating (Anything can be implied on some level but nothing explicit at all)
Starting Gear will affect the rewards given out throughout the RP, if you start with a full suit of Ebony, expect your rewards to be significantly less than someone who starts with steel. (No Deadric weapons/artifacts or armour. May come later :P)
Balance your characters out.
4 Spots are available at the moment, I will create open points in the rp for more people throughout its life.
Dragon shouts! I will allow them, BUT you must provide a good reason as to how you managed to learn it. (Limit them to only the first word for now, maybe second word, will need to be discussed per individual.)
I am god, if a mage pops out and turns you into a sheep, then you are dinner!

RP is freeforming, as the characters help build the story with their own subplots, so be creative!

Ascended Sleeper
Siri
Spoiler


Name: Siri

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Race: Nord


Skills: Archery, One handed (only with axes), Block, Speech, Light Armor, Heavy Armor (not very skilled in it, but uses it regardless), Restoration, and Sneak are Siri’s main skills used. She is also a good cook, musician, and armature pickpocket.

General Appearance: Siri is a slender woman, standing at about five feet five inches, and has long, golden blonde hair. Her eyes are a cold blue color, and has delicate features that are considered to be attractive.

Weapons: Siri wields a simple hunting bow for her normal ranged combat, but also has a steel war axe and iron shield for close combat.

Armour/Clothing: Modified Stormcloak armor, with an extra layer of boiled leather, as well as an Iron Shield.

Other Items: Lute, Flute (hey, that rhymed!), a torch, some dried travel rations, and the occasional book are not uncommon in her pack.

Personality: Siri is a very laid back and easy going person, but she knows how to crack the whip and get stuff done. She is more intelligent than most of her Nord brethren, and prefers to find some sort of unique way to solve a problem or defeat a foe. Not the best strait up fighter, but she is not to be underestimated.

Brief History: Siri was born in Morthal, where she was raised. At the age of sixteen, she left home and traveled to Solitude to study at the Bard’s College, and learned quite a lot about writing, poetry, and history, as well as music playing, which is her passion. After being a traveling bard and scholar for many years, Siri found herself in Windhelm, and made friends with a group of prospective Stormcloaks, and quickly joined the rebellion, due to the instinctive nationalism flowing through her blood. After several battles, Siri decided that the war was pointless and horrible, so she once again became a drifter, and found an interesting job opportunity with the blades.


Sparda65
Mourne Skyfeather
Spoiler

Name: Mourne Skyfeather
Age: 22
Race: Bosmer
Gender: Female

Appearance: Mourne is a slim woman with a unique beauty. Her skin is almost golden, with a majestic shimmer in the moonlight. Her hair is blond with tan highlights and silky smooth with a beautiful shine. Her eyes are icy blue, able to put any man into a love struck trance, or cower in fear with an icy cold gaze.

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 125lbs
Build: Archery, One handed melee/duel wielding, Alchemy, Weaponsmithing.
Hair Colour/Style: Blonde with tan highlights, shoulder length (neat)
Eye Colour: Blue
Scars/Markings: A small scar on her right cheek from an arrow grazing it.

Equipment: Medicinal herbs for anti-venom, poisonous herbs for weapon coatings.
Weapon(s): Long Bow(with 35 arrows in quiver) Two steel long swords
Armour/Clothing: Soft fur shirt, pants, Fur boots. Fur Armor(including the boots)
Inventory: Woodcutters Hatchet, fletching tools, 100 septims, medical bandages.

Personality: Mourne is a shy but positive woman. Her headstrong nature allows her to take control if the situation arises. Socially, she is nothing more then "one of the girls" being bubbly, giggling at jokes,(Unless you are a thief of rogue, Explained in Bio.) But in serious times she is just that, Serious. She focuses at the matter at hand wether it be battle or fleeing, or maybe politics. Even with her beauty and feminine charms, don't be fooled for her bow and blades are as deadly as her figure.

Biography: Mourne grew up in Valenwood most of her life. Her mother died just a few days after giving birth leaving Mourne with her father, who did everything to make his daughter happy and safe. At the age of 19 on their way back to their farm from Falinesti, they were ambushed by Dark Brotherhood Assassins who killed Mourne' father. Since then Mourne had sworn to hunt those who have hunted her. Giving her deep hatred for Assassins of all kinds even straight up criminals.

I have like three different ideas for this orc I want to do as far as personality and background, but I can't choose between them so I'll yet y'all post first and I'll model mines accordingly.

Basically, consider me reserved.

Yayy, first one donneeeee!

Name: Warrick Bro'Kurz
Age: 20
Race: Orc
Gender: Male

Appearance: Jagged jaw-lines and a strong chin offset by soft brown eyes makes this orc just passable enough not to produce vomit on sight. He is young and rash, and his manner of dress reflects that. In his youthful arrogance, he dons no upper chest plate armor, extenuating his lean physique. Face closely resembles this http://images.uesp.net/b/b9/SR-race-Orc.jpg

Height: 6"
Weight: 201
Build: Actually small for an orc, but still lean and ripped. He possesses more strength than most originally determine.
Hair Colour/Style: A thick line of short dreads cut by himself in a mohawk fashion.
Eye Colour: Brown eyes (no iris)
Scars/Markings: He dons the scars of battles past, wearing an armor that reveals all his past close calls. There are claw marks along his left should down to his arm, as well as a healed wound in his lower torso, from a nasty bite. Other smaller scraqes and lacerations decorate his green skin. He occasionally masks his face in war-paint, but used to do it out of camouflage when living in the forests as a teen.

Equipment: Ring of Fortification (10% Heavy Armor), Ring of Sturdy Hands (10% Two-handed)
Weapon(s): Iron Warhammer, Orcish Sword (which he doesn't use)
Armour/Clothing: Iron Greaves and Boots.
Inventory: Journal, coin purse of 50 or so septims, bounty letter from Rorikstead, Old Burned Book of Orsimer

Personality: Warrick is calm yet energetic, always one for talking and not one to back down for a fight, or pretty much anything. He'd gladly wrestle a saber cat for mere pride. He is rash in his juvenile actions due to his lack of discipline and rough past, but has personal motives that he is willing to achieve at almost any cost, and is not too proud to learn.

Because of his lack of knowledge of his culture, he is infatuated with anything related to Orsimer. His interest for his people was sparked when he came upon his first Orcish weapon, while stumbling through some old ruins out in Southern Skyrim. Since then he has been looking for the swords twin, and keeps his weapon as a travesty. Thanks to his aggressive nature he is great in battle, but he is accustomed to living and working by himself, so this team effort will be a new thing for him.

Biography: Warrick was born in Falkreath Prison to his mother, Grinda. His mother having to serve a life sentence for the slaughter of a small town, pleaded for the child's life to be spared, but no one wanted to take in an ugly orc. So, she begged just enough for them to let her raise him until she no longer could.

The eight year old orc was released from the prison and from there he fended for himself. His fits of insane rage kept him alive in the wild merciless forest. He found refuge in a cave where he survived for some years, hunting animals and living alone to sty alive.

At age ten, he traveled back to Falkreath to head into the prison, to find that his mother had died. From then, crushed with the disparity of being alone, he simply conceded to exist for some time, taking jobs scrubbing floors and fetching items until he got over the sadness of his loss and began to save money so as to take up learning basic knowledge. He, with the help of some of the merchants he had been serving, taught himself speech, and how to read well. Finally, at age thirteen, he headed out again, fending and living for himself. It took him another three years to make it out to the reach, where we was able to pass for one old enough to take a bounty, and also where he developed his attitude due to living on his own and having to be tough and fight to survive. He has been in the reach since, doing missions and living alone. At age 17, he found Rorikstead, where he worked and lived either in town, or nearby in the wilderness. Because of his manner of work, he was contacted by the Blades through Rorikstead, through a sort of "call to arms", and went through the following test in order to be recruited.

He decided to join the Blades because he was tired of not having nothing to really fight for. Plus, with the extra cash, he can maybe go out and find himself a twin for his sword. Lastly, he knows that there is Orcish armor as well, and would like to be recognized as a proud donner of his heritage…

Ack! Looks like one too many Y-chromosomes to form an amazon Brigade.

I'm... halfway done with my too-elaborate character sheet. Need to work on my appearance, stop working on my biography, and get my gear straightened out.

How am I supposed to describe the armor worn by the Forsworn?
