These two are going to have be changed. You have all the traits needed to be a good Leader and then you have very minor flaws, one of which is not a flaw at all but how other people see you, and the other is debatable. I'm denying this (thought WITYM has the final say) simply on the ground its a Mary Sue. Change some of it, get rid of some of the personality traits, counter them by adding some Major flaws (And I mean MAJOR, as in arrogance, cowardice, sadism, not just people don't like you for a minor reason and you're typical horny teenager) and then I'll accept this.

[censored]... You caught me :pinch: , yeah i'll give him some more significant flaws, I'll "try" not to be cliche and use those, but I'll probably use anger as one which is also cliche, but i guess things are cliche because they work...
Yeah i'll get on to editing that.

@ son of sithis.

1: i'll accept.
2:i'll accept, but I personally think that your parents being the leaders of different guilds a little stramge but that's a minor detail that dosen't affect much.
3 approved.

Also since you're a co GM you have the right to accept character sheets for now on.

Name: Evryn Ienith
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Birthsign: The Thief
Appearance: Slight and lanky, with an easy grin and weasel-like features. Large and dark red eyes. His hair is a very dark brown, wavy, and usually tied back in a loose knot at the nape of his neck
Reasons for being on the Frontier: He's an opportunist and swindler looking to make a quick septim by scamming newly-arrived refugees and settlers.
Class: Agent
Skills: Speechcraft, Sneak, and Alchemy. Some basic magical skill, and decent with a knife or bow.
Clothing: Something unassuming; in his trade, it's essential to blend in. Armor-wise, leather with a short cape and hood.
Personality: Evryn's clever and carefree, but a moral cesspool. Naturally charming and a bit of a playboy.
Major flaw: He's a coward at heart, a shameless narcissist, and makes his living by taking advantage of others.
Equipment: Gold; Leather armor, guarhide boots, and a warm cloak; a good stock of alchemical ingredients and apparati; a silver dagger and an Orcish bow
Background:

Evryn's lived his life on the fringes of society, and he's happy enough with that. The youngest son of a prosttute and refugee, Evryn fled Windhelm's Gray Quater the day he grew his first hair on his chin. Since then, he's made his way to the frontier by way of his silver tongue and roguish charm. Here, he spends his days swindling new arrivals out of their gold through a variety of schemes, and along with his crew of thugs, he controls a good portions of the Frontier's skooma trade. Despite his youth, he's seen a great deal of the ugly side of life, and it's made him determined to claw his way into fortune and fame.

The elf is predisposed to take the easy way out of a crisis and to save his own skin at all costs; the typical rough-edged survivor, he wouldn't hesitate to shove his knife between a friend's rib bones if it would benefit him. Yet his true nature is often disguised by the facade he wears so well- an easy-going nere-do-well with a heart of gold, always up for a drink of sujamma or a night at the tavern. This makes him a valuable ally and an incredibly annoying foe.

I see nothing wrong. Accepted.

Is this acceptable thus far? I do plan on writing a CS for Runa (her sister) and their background stories would be together, provided that is OK.

Name: Oletha Blomdotter

Race: Nord/Werewolf

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Appearance : Oletha stands five foot nine inches tall. She has a lean, toned figure and weighs roughly one hundred fifty pounds. Her eyes are frozen blue, they look like they could peer into your soul. She has defined cheek bones with dark brown war paint that begins by her nose, and trace the top of her cheek bones and go down by the far corner of her eyes. The paint comes to a point on her jaw line on both sides of her face. She has a scar the runs along her jaw bone on the right side, from the middle of her chin all the way back by her ear lobe. Oletha has long, dirty blonde hair. It is twisted on both sides into a sloppy braid with white and brown beads woven throughout, and where the two braids meet behind her head, it comes into one braid and flows down with the remainder of her hair. She also has the bones of her left lined with tattoos that follow the bone structure (like looking at an xray picture). On her right should there is a nasty scar from a battle axe wound. She also has what appear to be bite marks, some on her neck, wrists, and even her thighs.

Reasons for being on the Frontier: The Dragon Born wrecked havoc in their village with her three companions en-route to Alduin's Wall. Some of the surviving tribe members fled north, to more remote grounds in order to re-establish their tribe.

Class: Forsworn

Skills: Sneak, one handed combat, and her beast blood.

Clothing: Slightly warmer Forsworn armor. Snow bear fur boots and armor, with tanned leather hide that hugs her legs. Amulet of Mara, and mismatched bracers. Leather on her left, iron on her right.

Personality: Somewhat reserved for a Forsworn, for she wishes to marry and bear children, but is very obedient to her older sister. She does have a temper, which causes her to act out suddenly. In some cases, it renders her defenseless against herself, as her beast blood takes over and she sees red.

Major flaw: Once her temper takes control of her, only her sister can bring her to her senses using a calming spell.

Equipment: Half dozen lock picks, Ebony dagger enchanted with soul snare. Ebony because of the abundance that resides in the general area. Her amulet of Mara, and a small sack for gathering ingredient's for her sister.

Background:

Edit: sorry for the oversight on the timeline, I'll use her and her sister for a fan-fic. Have fun guys :biggrin:
Heres the thing. Your character is a Forsworn yet is a Nord. Correct me if i'm wrong but the Forsworn are pretty much a breton only factions and hate the Nords for taking the Reach from them. So I find it hard to believe that a Nord can be a Forsworn. Also, I don't think the Forsworn worships the Eight/Nine divines so I doubt they would be carrying an Amulet of Mara. And one more nitpicking thing: Is there a reason why a Forsworn would leave the Reach? I'm guessing that would be part of the background..

I have only ever played Skyrim, so I am still learning about the lore of the world. It would have been part of the background story, but I will just you guys have at it, I don't want to throw off anything.

Don't know much about the lore? Check the lore forums or in the Imperial library or even read the in-game books. The Elder scrolls have one of the most In depth lore in the gaming Industry. However it is your character so you should add the background. However if you don't want to throw of anything than head to the lore forums and ask for information about the Forsworn. Then you can come back and fill the background. Once you fix these problems i'll ad you to the list.

Edit: A few more characters added in and I think we can start the actual RP thread. :)

Thats great, thanks. If you want to use another young King as a reference, try Alexander the Great. One of the greatet generals ever, but incredibly arrogant to point where he declared himself a god, was quick to anger, and absoulutely ruthless in furthering his ambition.

In fact i was modeling a bit from Alexander already, his extremely youthful experiance in battle and ascent to the throne, along with the Anger...
To be fair though he was pretty much told his whole life by people that he was a God or DemiGod, not like Caligula who was just a deluded and incompetant man entirely.
Damn I actually think those are some interesting flaws, might just copy and paste it hmm..

I should have waited to post it I suppose, as the background would have explained a whole lot. Why they were who they were, why they ended up here, and why they hold onto certain things. It was my mistake, and if I get a chance, I may redo it. But, I can't say for sure though.

Name: Oethius "Snake Tongue"

Race:Imperial

Gender: Male

age: 25

appearance: Oethius stands at five feet eleven inches. He has a thin build with broad shoulders and toned muscles from a life of hard work on the seas. He is very charming and handsome. With a roguish look in his eyes and an arrogant ever present grin. He has short cut Jet-black hair and dark blue eyes. He is clean shaven with a small scar running down his chin.

Reason for being in the Frontier: The boat he was sailing on, The Narrower, wrecked off the coast in a storm.

Class: Pirate/ Sailor/ Fighter

skills: skilled with the scimitar/dagger combination. Very charismatic and charming. Basic skills in destruction magick.

Clothing: Hammerfell garb without the cape or headdress. Small backpack and waterjug.

Personality: Oethius has a stereotypical Imperial charm. He is very cheerful and a ladiesman. Oethius is very loyal to those he considers as friends.

Major Flaws: Oethius is a chauvinist and sees women as disposable pleasures. He can be careless and reckless in combat and takes unnecessary risks.

Equipment: Traditional Hammerfell Scimitar paired with a Orcish dagger made for catching blades. Small Backpack with a couple of lockpicks and Argonian Ale.

Background: Oethius was an orphan left to die in the harsh streets of Sentinel. One day he was caught stealing from a pirate ship, but instead of being punished, the kindly crew took the young Imperial with them on their many adventures and accepted him as their own. He is stranded in the Frontier when his ship crashes on an escort job from High Rock.

Here it is. I'll probably make a political Character later.

Disturbing. I forgot to mention but can you have it where it is morning instead of Afternoon. The time of the day thing will be like Valton in which a GM can decide when to change.

Head to the OP and read the spoiler alert that says (controlled by all GMS) that'll give you a good idea who he is.
