Welcome to the Prison Breakout RP

Introduction:

"After the Oblivion Crisis, crime skyrocketed in Cyrodiil. While the empire was busy licking its wounds, the greatest criminal organizations in Tamriel decided to take the opportunity to squeeze all they could out of the good people of the empire. And so, all the scum and lowlifes grew rich, powerful, and greedy. Murders and thefts could be spotted all throughout Cyrodiil, and although the Imperial Guard worked tirelessly, they found it nearly impossible to fit the all the convicted felons into the Imperial dungeons. After a long debate in which no solutions seemed viable, the Elder Council decided to create a new prison, built to maximize capacity with minimal cost. Thus Alkatroz was born: a soon infamous and dark place, right on the ruins of what was once Kvatch. All manner of criminals are being sent here: from the most heinous of murderers to the pettiest of thieves. This is where you have just found your new home.... but for how long?"




The Story: You have all just arrived at one of the toughest prisons in Tamriel. Upon your arrival, you are delivered a mysterious letter, the guardsmen grudgingly giving you the sealed contents. The only thing you can discern from the outside of the envelope is the symbol on the seal: a sword ripping through a book. In the top right corner, the symbol is repeated, the dark ink reading with the authority of fate itself:

"Dear Prisoner,

Loyalty is far more valuable to me than gold, and freedom can be bought with both. Meet us in the yard at midnight.


Yours truly,
Black Inc."













Story info:

Alkatroz Prison: A place full of every mean and evil criminal known to the good people of Cyrodiil. Built from materials scavenged from the ruins of Kvatch, it resembles an animal pound for humans. The lucky prisoners stay until they've all served their time.... others are chosen to be put down.

The Elder Council: Since the oblivion crisis, the Council has become greedy and corrupted. They've been taking money from the citizens of the Imperial City and are hoarding it, in case the empire has to "reclaim" any provinces that decide to secede.

Black Inc.: A mysterious organzation hiring desperate prisoners as errand boys. They seem somewhat interested in changing history, though how is yet to be seen.

The Bounty hunters: A small group of mercs hired by the mean and greedy warden, they're out to collect the large bounty that's been place upon our heads and they aim to take it by force.

The Runaways (us): The runaway prisoners are caught in a struggle between the empire and Black Inc. We may end up doing unspeakable deeds for a dark criminal society, while discovering the true nature of the Elder Council's plot and their recent irrational decisions. For us, being wanted men is just the beginning.






Rules:

No God modding.
No breaking out before I say so.
No spam.





Please read before make your character:

Before you make your character, I would like you to know a little information about your situation. You are in a prison and you have been convicted of crimes; I'm allowing you to choose what crimes you've been convicted of (see below), but I would like you to be free and creative with this. You do have the option to say that your character is innocent and has been falsely convicted, or that maybe prison has caused him to have a change of heart. Whatever the reason, I want you to be creative with why your character is in prison, and I encourage you to give them a goal for once they get out. Will they return to a life of crime, or will they try to become a better person? It's your choice. So please be as creative as possible. The prison is supposed to be funny and a bit stereotypical in the beginning, so feel free to play around and rough up some prisoners.

One last thing before anyone says anything: this does have a story, but I do not wish to give away the plot, so the presented details are very vague. Just be prepared to fight off more than the imperial watch.








Now finally, the character sheet:

Character Sheets





BSparrow:

Name: Raves Arvel
Age: 34 (looks 17)
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Birthsign: The Lover


Class: Arcane Thief
Class Description: An arcane thief uses magic to augment their activities, taking full advantage of the various stealth capabilities of spellcasting. They tend to fall behind their more "pure" peers when it comes to raw skill, and can suffer for it when Silenced.


Weapons: None on him at the moment, though he's skilled with throwing weapons. He sort of knows which side of a knife to hold.
Clothes: Standard prison linens, with a handful of lockpicks secreted about his person (though not well). He also smuggled in a pair of wooden dice, which he keeps in his pocket.


Skills: Illusion, Sneak, Alteration, Mysticism, Acrobatics, Security, Marksman, Sleight-of-hand

Known Spell Effects:
(*=one he's particularly strong in)

Illusion:
Blind
Calm Humanoid
Chameleon
Charm
Invisibility*
Light
Night-Eye
Paralyze
Silence
Sound

Mysticism:
Detect Enchantment
Detect Key
Mark
Recall
Telekinesis*

Alteration:
Feather
Levitate*
Lock
Open*
Slowfall
Water Breathing
Water Walking


Weaknesses: Gambling problem, and a rather understandable fear of Telvanni comeuppance.


Appearance: Raves is as expressive as a performer and is built like an acrobat. He is relatively small and slim, and exudes a sort of lazy energy. He has dark red hair, which he keeps cut short and styled to stick up. He also has five piercings: three in his right ear and two in his left. He typically wears his feelings on his sleeve, his easy smile seeming open and guileless despite his profession, which he makes no attempt to hide.


Why you're in Jail: Nine counts of breaking and entering, twenty-six counts of petty theft, two counts of grand theft equine, possession and distribution of stolen goods, tax evasion, resisting arrest, and calling the arresting officer a "mindless sword-slinger who is obviously overcompensating for something."

Personality: Above anything else, Raves loves excitement. He welcomes challenges, and loves pitting his skills against them. His jumbled magical training gives him a unique--if fractured--take on spellcasting.

He's a natural performer: friendly and outgoing, usually optimistic and always quick to crack a joke. He tackles most problems with a flippancy bolstered by his own self-confidence... he rarely doubts his own skills, and, even when they fail him, he figures he can get it right next time.

This sort of attitude also means he enjoys gaming and gambling on the side. He's not a dupe, but he never knows when to give up, so he's accumulated a good share of debts (approximately 7,500 Septims in all) that he never gets around to paying.


Bio/History:

Raves is the son of Delas and Galina Arvel, a Dunmer couple who own a book and scroll shop in Sadrith Mora called "Words of Wisdom". Even as a boy, Raves was restless, and never took to the store and its stodgy customers. He often sought adventure while his parents worked, sneaking out to hang out with his less wealthy friends. He and four other elven boys enjoyed pranking grumpy neighbors and sneaking sips of Skooma behind a shifty tavern.

Raves's parents spent much time punishing him, either by having him serve in the shop under a strict eye or, if his recent mischief was particularly severe, locking him in his room. However, working in a bookstore frequented by Telvanni had its advantages. He spent much of his grounded time reading novice magicka books, and slowly taught himself some basic spells. When he used a simple Open Lock spell to get out of his room, his interest was piqued, and he began seeking out back-alley trainers and bugging Telvanni apprentices for tips. By the time he reached adolescence, he'd reached Apprentice level in Illusion and Alteration, and had no intention of stopping.

Over the years, Raves became fond of thievery and con work, enjoying both the adrenalin rush and the challenge. After a particularly nasty incident in Tel Mora, his parents disowned him, and he was forced to flee a group of angry Telvanni retainers who chased him well into the Ashlands.

Since then, he's been moving among Tamriel's more degenerate cities. He picks up change as a street performer--favoring sleight-of-hand con games--as well as doing odd jobs for the Thieves' Guild and freelance. He has been caught many times, usually on petty counts (he enjoys the hunt more than the capture, so to speak). It's never enough to throw him in jail for more than a week or two. Until lately, that is.







I am The Walrus!:

Name: Elusmyr

Nickname: No nickname, as of yet.

Age: 92 (looks 23)

Race: Altmer

Birthsign: The Apprentice


Class: Mage

Weapons: A knife

Clothes: A tattered but expensive robe. Worn shoes. Trousers.

Skills: Destruction, Mysticism, Alteration, Conjuration, Necromancy, Long Blade. He is also quite intelligent and skilled at pulling off complex plans.
Weaknesses: Is weak to all forms of magic and elements due to being a High Elf of the Apprentice birth sign. Despite being quick and nimble, he has no muscles to speak of.


Apperance: He towers over non-Altmer at the height of 6'7. He has long, black hair that falls a bit lower then his neck. He looks haughty, but also has a look of whimsy in his eye.

Why your in Jail: Murder, conspiracy against an imperial organisation. (Guilty on both accounts). He served as a spy for the Order of the Worm during the war with the mages guild. In the closing years, his cover was blown by a double agent he was working with, two knights of the lamp attempted to arrest him. He played along. However, as he was about to be handcuffed, he flicked a knife out from his sleeve, and stabbed one knight in the throat. He turned the Knight's hood into hot embers, so they fell into his eyes and blinded him. He managed to escaped over one of the walls, but was apprehended by Imperial when attempting to get a boat to the Summerset Isles in Anvil.

Personality: Elusmyr is haughty and narcissistic, and is prone to Ennui. He also is flamboyant and whimsical, and finds fun in manipulating other people.


Bio/History: Elusmyr was born in Summerset isles, and studied the major magical arts. He also found time to practice using a long swoord in his spare time. His mentor in the mages guild was secretly a Necromancer, and passed on his views to Elusmyr, and also trained him in the basics of Necromancy and gave him literature for further learning. Elusmyr advanced faster then most students, and was looking towards a bright future in the mages guild. However, when Archmage Traven banned the study of Necromancy, Elusmyr's mentor was cast out of the guild, as his practices had become known. Elusmyr was also under suspicion as his student, but that quickly subsided as more and more mages left the guild and the need for skilled mages grew stronger.

Elusmyr stayed in contact with his old mentor, and as a now lecturer, had access to detailed information which he sent back to his mentor, who passed it onto the Order of the Worm. This continued for quite a long time until a fellow Order of Worms agent in the guild turned double, and tipped off the Guild to intercept Elusmyr's letter. He killed knight in his attempted arrest, and was condemned to life-time imprisonment with no parole. Elusmyr's main goal is revenge against the mages guild and knowledge






Krimsin:

Name: Urdlin

Nickname: Lin

Age: 29

Race: Bosmer

Birthsign: Thief

Class: Assassin

Weapons: N/A

Clothes: Dark Green Long-sleeved leather tunic, cloth pants, and some reasonably fancy shoes he was allowed to keep.

Skills: Of the two, Urdlin prefers less forward confrontation. He is a talker, and a persuader, and if necessary, an intimidator. In combat he favours a bow, which is unfortunate in prison. He is highly proficient at not being seen.
Weaknesses: Urdlin is rather cowardly compared to his counterpart and especially compared to his peers. However despite this, he is highly arrogant when he thinks himself at an advantage.
Appearance: Medium-length black hair in a ponytail, pointed chin and face. Generally appears less weak than most elves his size, but not much less.
Reason for being in Jail: Urdlin was arrested after a jointly-botched assassination attempt on a noble while he was at church. Urdlin's arrow missed and struck an innocent bystander instead, and the guards took him in. After leaving prison he and Qa'shirr intend to return to their original ways, but spend some time laying low in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.
Personality: Urdlin likes to consider himself the brains of the operation, but does not de-value his partner's opinion. He often engages others in slightly one-sided conversations if they tend to be less than talkative. On occasion, he will talk to himself if no one else is around.
Bio/History: Urdlin began not as an assassin but as a merchant. Eventually his pottery trade grew terribly unprofitable and he sought out thievery as a means to his wealth. This is when he met Qa'shirr, a Khajiit thief whom he had hired to steal certain things for him in exchange for a cut of the earnings after he had used his bartering skills to pawn off the stolen goods. It is here that they gradually became partners, with Urdlin often taking a slightly more direct role in the theft himself, after some tutelage from his more-experienced partner.
One night, while attempting to rob the manor of an old man, they accidentally woke him, and in their panic pushed him out the window and killed him. The following night, as they slept in an inn where they planned to stay in hiding for a while, they were approached by the Dark Brotherhood and asked to join. Though hesitant, they eventually agreed. After all, the Brotherhood could provide a safe haven, a steady job, and good training. Though still little more than murderers in the family, they always complete their contracts together, splitting the earnings between themselves as usual but often managing to complete the bonuses because of their united effort.

Name: Qa'shirr

Nickname: Qash
Age: 27

Race: Khajiit

Birthsign: Thief
Class: Assassin
Weapons: Nothing, besides his claws.
Clothes: Black leather shirt with the sleeves torn off, some banded leather around his hands, and sack cloth pants.
Skills: Qa'shirr is more manually dextrous than his partner, using this skill to pick locks and pockets alike. In combat, he favours knives and daggers, and like Urdlin is good with stealth.
Weaknesses: Cannot swim, and is sometimes distracted by shiny objects.
Appearance: Greyish-tan fur with a few darker brown stripes. Two gold earrings on each ear. Tall for a Khajiit.
Reason for being in Jail: Qa'shirr made a bet with Urdlin to see who could assassinate the noble first. He sat beside the noble in church, but slipped and stabbed the man next to him instead. The man's screams caused the other patrons in the church to stand up, which made Urdlin accidentally shoot an innocent bystander rather than the noble.
Personality: Qa'shirr doesn't like to bother with details. Where Urdlin sorts complicated things like strategy and ruses, Qa'shirr works out the simple tactics. Stoic, but not afraid to voice his opinion if a plan seems like a bad idea, or if he comes up with a better one. Doesn't talk to many people other than Urdlin.
Bio/History: Abandoned by his parents, Qa'shirr became a thief out of equal parts necessity and entertainment value. After realizing that good fences were hard to find, he met Urdlin, and the two struck a deal to make a profit off of their illegitimate gains. When they became more solid partners in crime, he began teaching Urdlin some of his own tricks, in order for him to help with thefts when he needed a second person. He was less reluctant to join the Dark Brotherhood than Urdlin was, thinking that it was the perfect way to silence those who caught him stealing and not have to suffer any consequences





Jonasvault101:


Name: Francis Nermarc

Nickname: Franky, The Whistler

Age: 29

Race: Breton

Birthsign: The Lady


Class: Assassin of the Order of Boethiah, a group of highly skilled men and women of all races who worship the Daedric Prince Boethiah and carry out assassinations over all of Tamriel.

Weapons: A small 5" shank knife that was made from a solid metal bar, the grip wrapped in letter with small daedric etchings on the blade. Under his bed, he keeps an Atl-atl, a piece of wood with a groove in it used to throw javelins with precision, 4 thin javelins accompany it, all made from stolen wood in the carpenters' shop.

Clothes: Regular thick Sack cloth clothing, loose pants with a rope around the waist, heavy long sleeved cloth shirt, a very thick and heavy cloak, also wears a black cloth mask just around his mouth and nose.

Skills: Stealth, Parkour (free-running or whatever you like to call it), Excellent Marksman, Skilled with many one-handed blades, Alchemy (mainly poisons).

Weaknesses: Loves to drink, hates cats, loves women FAR to much.



Apperance: Quite tall for a Breton, standing at 6'4" he is tall and very toned in an athletic build. His hair is cut short and golden blonde corn-rows are the only hair on his head. His face has a thick goatee, and the hard dark green eyes of a man who has shed blood. His body, mainly arms and chest, are imprinted with tattoos of various Daedric runes and designs often found in the Daedric ruins themselves. His face is rather gaunt, but despite all this, he is a handsome man.

Why your in Jail: During an assassination against a high-born Redguard prince. Francis was making his way through the castle, after climbing and shimmying his way up a dizzying 100ft tower, he came to the Prince's quarters. The man was sleeping in fine silks. Francis crept into the window and the room, he took out a coil of rope and quickly tackled the sleeping man, tying him up and gagging him. His betrothed then walked in, who wasn't fond of the prince herself, and seeing the dashing assassin before her and Francis staring back, it gave them an idea.

Before the very eyes of the bound prince, they made violent and passionate love. Afterward, Francis slit the princes' throat and gave a kiss goodbye to the lovely Imperial woman who was the princes' betrothed (Imperial is odd yes, but I like them better than Redguards). But while escaping, a guard who had been alerted shot an arrow into Francis' thigh, making him stumble and fall, breaking a leg. He was captured and sent to the prisons.

Personality: Suave and eloquent with his phrasing in conversations, the perfect guise for an assassin. He is ruthless with his prey but not without a kind heart, especially with women and even the young children. Anyone who cannot defend themselves, is not deserving of death. But as said before, he is an assassin, and a black-hearted cruel one at that, just look at how he got thrown into prison.


Bio/History: Born in Highrock, Francis was your average everyday kid. He loved hunting and had quite the talent for
thievery, it especially came in handy due to him being a simple peasant born to a poor family. When he became a teenager, at the tender age of 13, he sought out of the tiny village he'd known. He only survived in the wilds for a month or so.

One winter night, near death, a man clad in chainmail and black leather armor came to him. Francis woke up the 4 days later to find himself in the mountain fortress of the Order of Boethiah. The Grandmaster, a Dunmer who was named Nelos had taken Francis in for a purpose, what that was Francis was never told.

Years went by, training and learning all sorts of trades, being taught by some of the most skilled assassins in Tamriel, who rivaled even the Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood. Assassination after assassination passed, and finally Francis was named High Assassin among the Order. Two years later, he went to kill a Redguard prince.






Darkom95:

Name: Hanniel Baal (Preferred name Baal, pronounced Han-yel Ball)
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Age: 103 (Equivalent of late fifties)
Sign: The Atronarch
Faction: None


Class: Killer
Skills: Baal is a cold blooded serial killer, the worst kind of criminal, made worse by his near madness. However, he is very persuasive, with a witty intellectual charm that has fooled many victims in the past. He is abnormally skilled with all kinds of weaponry, especially short blades and daggers, and is especially vicious unarmed. He is very nimble and athletic despite his age, though is not particularly stealthy or adroit in the other skills commonly associated with murderers. Before vicious killings became public knowledge, he was renowned across many scholarly institutions for his vast intelligence, notably in the fields of mathematics, anatomy, and psychology. He was also known for being somewhat of an epicurean, lavishing his home with the most expensive of Akaviri and Dwemer artifacts, as well as many fine works of literature and art. He was also an adroit chef.


Appearance: Small and sleek, Baal does not appear very threatening. However, his arms contain a wiry strength, and he possesses physical grace and power strange for his age. He has a rather bent posture, and he appears rather gaunt, with deep lines in his face. He has sharp features and small, nimble hands. He has six fingers on his left hand, his middle finger duplicated perfectly between his middle and index.
Hair: Dark, slicked back hair with a pronounced widow's peak.
Eyes: A softer, maroon hue of the normal Dunmer red. His eyes reflect light in pinpoints of red fire, dancing spots of light in his otherwise cold eyes.
Height: 5' 6''
Weight: 140 lbs


Personality: A pure sociopath, he lacks remorse or morals. He portrays a superficial charm, but this only belies his darker intentions; he will trick his victims into their own demise. He is a pathological liar, and a very good one at that; he believes in no authority other than his own. He is incredibly narcissistic, believing himself above all wrongs, and incapable of error. The one thing he hates above all else is boredom, and will go to great lengths to alleviate or prevent it, including murder. He is also renowned for his intelligence, particularly in mathematics, anatomy, and psychology.

Hobbies: Torture, seduction, murder, etc.

Fears: Being alone, with nothing to do, especially in a prison cell.

Goals: He has no long term goals, other than escape from his current imprisonment and the cure for his boredom.

Religion: Baal pays homage to no gods, though he does respect several Daedra, including Boethiah, Mephala, and Dagon.


Weapons: He will use whatever he can get his deft hands on, or his own body. He has great martial prowess, though not in any particular style. He is also infamous for his biting.
Clothing: Tattered pants and shoes, along with a straight jacket and mask.
Miscellaneous: Nothing


History: Baal was born to a noble Dunmer family in Tear, and during his childhood he was declared a child prodigy. He grew up around the best tutors money could buy, though none seemed to be able to keep up with his outstanding intellect, and all quickly ran out of material to teach him. He absorbed all information he could get his hands on, storing it away in his vast memory; he was particularly interested in the fields of mathematics, anatomy, and psychology, and surpassed many of the great scholars of Tamriel in the subjects.

However, his happy childhood ended in a revolt by the Argonians enslaved by House Dres, in which the lizards broke into his family's summer mansion and killed his parents and beloved sister. He spent several months a prisoner of these rebels, before the Morrowind authorities could track them down and bring the majority to justice, freeing young Baal.

Unfortunately, the Dunmer military did not capture all of Baal's tormentors, a fact that drove the teenage elf mad with hatred, the beginnings of his psychopathy. He hunted down each surviving Argonian, most of whom had gone on to have happy, successful lives in other parts of Tamriel, and slaughtered them mercilessly, claiming vengeance for his sister.

After that he returned to a fairly normal life, becoming a scholar in Mournhold, working to become a natural healer, a physician who did not utilize magic, being he was incapable of doing so. After many years he became a successful healer and scholar, publishing many groundbreaking works in his chosen fields. He eventually moved to the Imperial City to take a position as the Emperor's personal physician, along with treating many Imperial noble's psychological problems.

However, he never lost that spark of madness, and throughout the years continued his murders, no authority ever suspecting him of the crimes. Throughout the years he has been connected to over thirty murders, though it is suspected he has committed far more. He refuses to comment on the fact, occasionally publishing scholarly texts from his position in the Imperial Dungeons, though none to do with his own mental issues.


Reason for Incarceration: Baal was an infamous serial killer, known as the Monster of Weye, who was eventually caught by an investigator who happened to stop by his home in the Imperial City, where he was living as a scholar (psychologist). The investigator, who was attempting to bring the Monster of Weye to justice at the time, noticed a book called "The Axe Man" on Baal's bookshelf, an account of an investigator in Morrowind questioning a Tong assassin, and immediately recognized the volume. He also knew that one of the Monster's victims was killed in a similar way to that of the uncle in the book. Piecing the two facts together, he immediately tried to leave for backup. However, Baal was waiting for him, and attempted to stab him with a makeshift knife. The investigator escaped, though his wounds were severe, and returned to the house minutes later with a swarm of guards. Baal was sitting in an easy chair, his perfect smile wide, the bloody knife still in his small hand.

Fun Fact: Not only is he a murderer, but he is a cannibal as well. I'm sure if you haven't discovered my blatant tribute to an amazing character by now, then that should do it.





RocknRolla:


Name: Aaron Marcellus

Nickname: Sver (pronounced sever), due to what he does to people he doesn't like

Age: 24

Race: Imperial

Birthsign: Steed


Class: Thief

Weapons: Steel shortsword (which was taken away after he was arrested), iron dagger that he hides in his shoe

Clothes: Rough tan shirt, tattered pale green pants, and some rough leather shoes

Skills: Short blade combat, stealth, lockpicking
Weaknesses: Anything shiny, really


Appearance: About 5' 9", skinny, blonde neck-length hair, pale skin, green eyes

Why you're in Jail: Theft, larceny, petty larceny, grand larceny, pretty much every word that can be associated with stealing

Personality: Aaron can be a pretty charming guy, but most people are too shallow to find that out. He tends to think things out though, and has learned to kill his impulse.


Bio/History: Aaron Marcellus was born in Cyrodill to an ex-legionarre and a newspaper courier. He had a pretty average childhood until he was 18. That's where he started getting these funny thoughts. He didn't want to end up in a dead end job for the rest of his life like his parents. That's when he decided that he wanted to be a thief. "It wouldn't be my first time." he told himself. Throughout Aaron's early years, he had always been a little filcher, but it had been extremely minor stuff. A few caramels from the sweets jar, for example.
Early one morning, around 4:30, Aaron broke into a warehouse in the Imperial City, bribed the guard with a few grams of moon sugar, and the rest is history.....





dragon reaper:

Name: Meer frostbite
Gender: male
Age: 35
Race: argonian
Birth Sign: atronach
Class: spell sword

Weapons: none but normally uses long swords
Clothes: rough grey prison shirt and sack cloth pants.
Skills: destruction, long blade, heavy and light armour, unarmed
Spells: several frost spells of varying strength, range and area effects
Weaknesses: His hatred for dunmer often interferes with his ability to make rational decisions. Inability to regenerate magicka.

He is fairly well built and reasonably strong. He has a slightly longer tail than most argonians and has a scar on his lower back where he was stabbed with a knife.
Why you're in jail: murdered a family of dunmer when one of them insulted him and his kind.

Personality: acts somewhat cold towards strangers and new acquaintances but is more relaxed and open around those he knows well. He prefers colder climates and hates dunmer with a passion and may attack them for insignificant reasons if he is in an exceptionally bad mood when in there presence and they are of no use to him. He can also be fairly stubborn when he wants to be and dislikes retreating from a fight when there is still a small chance of winning. He is also in the habit of using his tail to trip up his opponents in a fight.

Brief History: He was raised by a family of nords in eastern skyrim and later moved to Bruma. He spent several years training for combat in the use of both heavy and light armour so he could always make do with what he had as well as hand to hand fighting in case he ever lost his weapon. He eventually became a mercenary and roamed cyrodil taking on any job for the right price. He was arrested for murdering a family of dunmer.



Uglius MaximusII:

Nickname: Larry

Age: 25

Race: Imperial

Birthsign: Steed

Class: Spy/Petty Theft

Weapons: N/A, his throwing knives were taken from him when he was arrested.

Clothes: Tattered tan coloured cloth shirt, rough dark blue cloth trousers and leather shoes.

Skills: Throwing weapons, sneak, athletic, acrobatics, speechcraft and security.

Weaknesses: He's no martial artist, Larry has never been trained in the art of combat or magic. His only combat skill would be his throwing knives and that limits him to about 20 feet.


Appearance: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8996/larryua2.jpg Larry isn't tall, standing at 5 feet, 10 inches he's of normal height. His body is fairly well built, composing of a strong muscle tone and a lean figure. He has no real outstanding feature which makes his job easier in many respects. However, his eyes are of a striking green which contrasts to his somewhat dull, yet relatively handsome face.

Why you're in Jail: Larry has led a life of crime, but he was charged for 32 acts of theft, 12 acts of assault, 12 acts of drug trafficing and has resisted arrest on 3 occassions. (Obviously escaping on the first 2 times.) Luckily for him the government has yet to find out about his acts of theft against the military and how he worked for various criminal organisations.

Personality: Larry is fairly protective of his past and of his current state of affairs. He doesn't like revealing anything that could come back to harm him yet isn't rude enough to stop talking about a subject once he is on the topic. Not naturally aggressive - he prefers to stand back and let the others do all the fighting or taking all the glory for his actions. Aslong as he lives - He's happy. Currently, he's quite content with prison life yet still wants to become free again.

Bio/History: As a child, he was born into a family of drug dealers. His father owned a lucrative business in Leyawiin and his mother ran a brothel. Together they were one of the richest people in the town until Larry's father was murdered by a rival drug dealer. This sent Larry's mother into a life of drug addiction which he eventually died from leaving Larry all alone. At the age of 12 he began to live with his fathers friends and eventually began to smuggle drugs in and out of the city. It wasn't a pretty business and on many occassions he was almost caught by either rival gangs or the city guard. But Larry wasn't bothered, he was living well - He had his own home, friends who respected him and enemies that feared him.

However, his safehouse had been raided by the city guard and all his friends were jailed. Larry knew it was time to leave the city and was able to escape. For 6 years he began to work for various organisations where he would spy on members of the government or steal from military warehouses. The work paid well but not nearly what he was used to. It was also very difficult to find friends that lived long enough for Larry to get to know them. In these few years between jail he drifted from syndicate to gang, and from gang to organisation. Eventually he was caught and placed in prison without the intention of letting him free.

I don't really like the story information part, all that was really included in the original paragraph I sent, but I should really stop trying to influence your RP. I get a bit carried away with the criticism sometimes :bigsmile:

But once again I will gladly join, I've always wanted a reason to play a real shady character. I should get my sheet in by Friday, thanks.

I don't really like the story information part, all that was really included in the original paragraph I sent, but I should really stop trying to influence your RP. I get a bit carried away with the criticism sometimes :bigsmile:

But once again I will gladly join, I've always wanted a reason to play a real shady character. I should get my sheet in by Friday, thanks.

Keep up the good work :goodjob:

so many people were complaining about backstory and plot so i thought i would summarize it for them.

:nope: Fox, I honestly don't think this was ready to go live yet. You hadn't really generated enough interest, and the intro post still does have a ton of errors that might turn people off. I'll still send you my character this weekend, but this RP might be too unformed yet to get off the ground.

We'll see. :shrug:

I completely agree. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't need an indepth story. It rattles my cage when people begin to pick apart other peoples roleplays to the extent of which it's no longer the owners work. By posting an RP people should realise that you're giving them the oppourtunity to join you in it; You're not posting it for their approval or for them to tell you they wont join it unless a certain criteria is met. This niggles me just as much as those people that go into Rps and nit pick at the lack of "Lore" or the innacuracy of.

You've got a good Rp here, I can imagine there'd be lots of character development and room for people to create their own subplots. (I remember when all you had to have for an RP was a group of willing people and a setting.) But sadly I'm getting ready for my own Rp to be released and I don't want to stretch myself thin again. :(

I have a pretty good character idea for this. Well, actually, it's two characters. Am I allowed to do that?

I'm not trying to pick it apart... far from it. I think the story and stuff is fine now. Sorry if it came off that way. :facepalm:

I've just been concerned about the general lack of response. Maybe fixing the grammatical errors might help the presentation and draw people in; I don't know. I just want more people to offer to join, and I'm not sure how to go about that. If we get more people who are ready to jump in now, then sure, let's rock and roll. :goodjob:

Dark Fox: I'm going to fix up your intro post for grammatical errors (and ONLY grammatical errors) and pm it to you. We'll see if that helps. :shrug:

Name: Elusmyr

Nickname: No nickname, as of yet.

Age: 92 (looks 23)

Race: Altmer

Birthsign: The Apprentice


Class: Mage

Weapons: A knife

Clothes: A tattered but expensive robe. Worn shoes. Trousers.

Skills: Destruction, Mysticism, Alteration, Conjuration, Necromancy, Long Blade. He is also quite intelligent and skilled at pulling off complex plans.
Weaknesses: Is weak to all forms of magic and elements due to being a High Elf of the Apprentice birth sign. Despite being quick and nimble, he has no muscles to speak of.


Apperance: He towers over non-Altmer at the height of 6'7. He has long, black hair that falls a bit lower then his neck. He looks haughty, but also has a look of whimsy in his eye.

Why your in Jail: Murder, conspiracy against an imperial organisation. (Guilty on both accounts). He served as a spy for the Order of the Worm during the war with the mages guild. In the closing years, his cover was blown by a double agent he was working with, two knights of the lamp attempted to arrest him. He played along. However, as he was about to be handcuffed, he flicked a knife out from his sleeve, and stabbed one knight in the throat. He turned the Knight's hood into hot embers, so they fell into his eyes and blinded him. He managed to escaped over one of the walls, but was apprehended by Imperial when attempting to get a boat to the Summerset Isles in Anvil.

Personality: Elusmyr is haughty and narcissistic, and is prone to Ennui. He also is flamboyant and whimsical, and finds fun in manipulating other people.


Bio/History: Elusmyr was born in Summerset isles, and studied the major magical arts. He also found time to practice using a long swoord in his spare time. His mentor in the mages guild was secretly a Necromancer, and passed on his views to Elusmyr, and also trained him in the basics of Necromancy and gave him literature for further learning. Elusmyr advanced faster then most students, and was looking towards a bright future in the mages guild. However, when Archmage Traven banned the study of Necromancy, Elusmyr's mentor was cast out of the guild, as his practices had become known. Elusmyr was also under suspicion as his student, but that quickly subsided as more and more mages left the guild and the need for skilled mages grew stronger.

Elusmyr stayed in contact with his old mentor, and as a now lecturer, had access to detailed information which he sent back to his mentor, who passed it onto the Order of the Worm. This continued for quite a long time until a fellow Order of Worms agent in the guild turned double, and tipped off the Guild to intercept Elusmyr's letter. He killed knight in his attempted arrest, and was condemned to life-time imprisonment with no parole. Elusmyr's main goal is revenge against the mages guild and knowledge.

Name: Francis Nermarc

Nickname: Franky, The Whistler

Age: 29

Race: Breton

Birthsign: The Lady


Class: Assassin of the Order of Boethiah, a group of highly skilled men and women of all races who worship the Daedric Prince Boethiah and carry out assassinations over all of Tamriel.

Weapons: A small 5" shank knife that was made from a solid metal bar, the grip wrapped in letter with small daedric etchings on the blade. Under his bed, he keeps an Atl-atl, a piece of wood with a groove in it used to throw javelins with precision, 4 thin javelins accompany it, all made from stolen wood in the carpenters' shop.

Clothes: Regular thick Sack cloth clothing, loose pants with a rope around the waist, heavy long sleeved cloth shirt, a very thick and heavy cloak, crude leather bracers that cover half his forearm that are worn over his shirt sleeves, also wears a black cloth mask just around his mouth and nose.

Skills: Stealth, Parkour (free-running or whatever you like to call it), Excellent Marksman, Skilled with many one-handed blades, Alchemy (mainly poisons).

Weaknesses: Loves to drink, hates cats, loves women FAR to much.

Miscellaneous: He's called 'The Whistler' because whenever he was about to make a kill, he'd let out a sharp eerie whistle.



Apperance: Quite tall for a Breton, standing at 6'4" he is tall and very toned in an athletic build. His hair is cut short and golden blonde corn-rows are the only hair on his head. His face has a thick goatee, and the hard dark green eyes of a man who has shed blood. His body, mainly arms and chest, are imprinted with tattoos of various Daedric runes and designs often found in the Daedric ruins themselves. His face is rather gaunt, but despite all this, he is a handsome man.

Why your in Jail: During an assassination against a high-born Redguard prince. Francis was making his way through the castle, after climbing and shimmying his way up a dizzying 100ft tower, he came to the Prince's quarters. The man was sleeping in fine silks. Francis crept into the window and the room, he took out a coil of rope and quickly tackled the sleeping man, tying him up and gagging him. His betrothed then walked in, who wasn't fond of the prince herself, and seeing the dashing assassin before her and Francis staring back, it gave them an idea.

Before the very eyes of the bound prince, they made violent and passionate love. Afterward, Francis slit the princes' throat and gave a kiss goodbye to the lovely Imperial woman who was the princes' betrothed (Imperial is odd yes, but I like them better than Redguards). But while escaping, a guard who had been alerted shot an arrow into Francis' thigh, making him stumble and fall, breaking a leg. He was captured and sent to the prisons.

Personality: Suave and eloquent with his phrasing in conversations, the perfect guise for an assassin. He is ruthless with his prey but not without a kind heart, especially with women and even the young children. Anyone who cannot defend themselves, is not deserving of death. But as said before, he is an assassin, and a black-hearted cruel one at that, just look at how he got thrown into prison.


Bio/History: Born in Highrock, Francis was your average everyday kid. He loved hunting and had quite the talent for
thievery, it especially came in handy due to him being a simple peasant born to a poor family. When he became a teenager, at the tender age of 13, he sought out of the tiny village he'd known. He only survived in the wilds for a month or so.

One winter night, near death, a man clad in chainmail and black leather armor came to him. Francis woke up the 4 days later to find himself in the mountain fortress of the Order of Boethiah. The Grandmaster, a Dunmer who was named Nelos had taken Francis in for a purpose, what that was Francis was never told.

Years went by, training and learning all sorts of trades, being taught by some of the most skilled assassins in Tamriel, who rivaled even the Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood. Assassination after assassination passed, and finally Francis was named High Assassin among the Order. Two years later, he went to kill a Redguard prince.
