Sorry, I just spent five minutes looking at that sentence and understand neither its meaning, nor your response. Perhaps periods and commas would be useful?

:huh:

EDIT: Did you mean to say that nothing that has to do with the cave, aka the main plot focus, has been discussed as of yet? I assume you are saying that the RP is slow in that it has not yet gone into any action and is still focusing on characters? Two reasons for that: It's on the Elder Scrolls Roleplay forum and the sheer number of people, not to mention the quality of some of the RPers, is phenomenal for this board.


EDIT AGAIN: Ah, I see. You meant RP in the two different meanings that always confused me in that one community discussion thread. Ok, got it now.

What's a period? I assume you're speaking in a grammatical sense here? ;)

And I was saying how he expected us to roleplay our characters if we didn't get to know them and their companions.

Can't be in two RPs, bah! I'm currently in four, although one or two are probably dying. And as soon as Illusionary gets back, maybe her RP will go again too.

Oh, and have a fishy stick, Distraction. I assume you have some RP experience then?

EDIT: Of course, I was kidding. If I had my own RP, I would be very cautious about it. Having to read everyone's post and all, it's like being a mini-moderator. Have fun over there, wish I'd signed up when I had the chance ^_^



I have very limited RP experience, only two that I've been in have taken off, and they both ended prematurely. I've been reading some of the fanfics here and this RP looked exiting so I decided to give it a go. I'll do the best I can with this and any constructive criticism would be very welcome.

Of course, my friend. But just so you know, you asked for the advice :evil:

So, Elite, how many people we got?


EDIT: Oh, you wanted us to put ours up? I thought I had just PMed mine to you and you were to do it. Sure, I'll post mine up.

No 'For-Sures' of course, because anyone could die and abandon this RP.

But I have an estimation around nine to ten people. :o

I am waiting for some people to put up Char Sheets, and I'm putting the actual RP tomorrow.

I like my guy, even if he isn't the most realistic character. He should prove entertaining, at least ;)


Name: Varber Geves
Race: Breton
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Sign: The Ritual

Class: Scholar
Major Skills: Mysticism, Conjuration, Unarmored, Reading, and Philosophy
Minor Skills: Politics, Judicial Law, Geography, Algebra, and Physics (He studied much in his father's library)

Physical: Rather weak and sickly, due in no small part to rarely ever exercising. However, he also rarely eats, people have to insist to him that he will someday find a reason to live, so should probably stay alive until then. He appears as though he would snap if grabbed too hard.
Hair: Long, greasy black hair
Eyes: Olive Green, with dark circles under them from lack of sleep. His eyebrows are always downturned, giving him a melancholy, pathetic appearance.

Mental: A rather depressing fellow, he is constantly trying to think up a meaning for life. So far, having found none, he resigns himself to nihilism on almost every topic from morals to religion. He will commonly express the pointlessness of life to others, and rarely takes the time to enjoy anything. His favorite phrase is "If we are to be reincarnated through the Dreamsleave regardless, why bother to do anything. Kings become flowers, wolves become beggars, and trees become deer."

Armor: None
Weapons: None
Clothing: A worn brown robe

Biography: Grew up with his scholarly father, who impressed upon him all the standards he lives by. He was rather detached from the world by the time he was old enough to venture out into it, as his father never bothered to teach him all the normal things like morals. He was far too busy moping in his room to pay attention to his son.
He took his father's death without much emotion; he had never been very attached to the man. Likewise, all the political upheaval since the Oblivion crisis has hardly seemed to matter to him, being he was in prison for most of the invasion.
After getting out of the Bruma prison for disturbing the peace (he had lay in the middle of the street and refused to move after one particularly depressing thought, he was held for four months after the captain of the guard took a disliking to him), he decided to visit this Champion of Cyrodiil he had heard so much about. He figured that such an important man must have a strong reason for living, and hoped he could share it with him.

Fears: Being correct and finding life does not have a meaning or worse, life having a meaning and it being to enjoy life.
Goals: Solve many philosophical quandaries, such as the predominant one of his entire life.
Interesting Fact: He once spent three months in a chapel undercroft, the priest having insisted that he must be touched by the Prince of Madness and chained him to the wall in attempts to heal him. He was finally released after a priestess finally told the town guard. He was later approached by several Followers of Sheogorath, and he had to turn down several offers to join them.

Thanks all, let me know if there is anything you want me to change. Common characters are the most fun to play :rock:

Is this good?




Name: Laniel Graystone
Race: Breton
Age: 39
Birthsign: The Shadow
Class: Astronomer

Major Skills (5):
Alteration
Mysticism
Illusion
Sneak
Astronomy

Minor Skills (5):
Unarmored
Short Blade
Map Making
Enchant
Restoration

Physical Description: Laniel is a short, lean Breton. He has long, dark, unkempt hair that goes to his neck. His eyes are brown, and his eyebrows are very dark. Laniel has a scruffy beard which he rarely shaves, his nose is large and curved with wide nostrils. His skin is fair due to the fact that he is rarely out during the day and because he is a Breton. He is not muscular at all and always looks tired.

Mental Description: Due to his lack of trust, Laniel is a quiet sort in most conversations. When he is asked his opinion on things he just gives a common view that won't draw to much attention to himself. However, when asked about his studies he will talk for hours, never leaving out any detail, which sometimes leads to him leaking out important information.

He hates fighting, so he avoids it whenever possible by using his skills in the school of illusion to escape or charm his foe into giving him mercy.

He cares very little for his appearance, as he is secluded to the night for his research. Laniel has an apathetic disposition, and it takes strong goods or evils to rouse him for one or the other.


Armour: none
Weapons: a concealed silver dagger
Clothing: a dark blue robe
Special Apparel: none

Short Bio: Laniel was born in the Imperial City to a Breton family. His father served in the guard and died in the Oblivion Crisis when he was young. His mother died when their home in the temple district collapsed, felled by Mehrunes Dagon himself. With what was left of his family's fortune he enrolled in the Arcane University where he studied Astronomy.

He was studying the movement of the birthsign of the serpent when Wrath closed the Arcane University. Wrath was interested in the sign of the serpent for his own sinister reasons which Laniel would have no part in. An escort of two guards were taking him to the city of Bravil where he was to be executed for disobeying Wrath, but on the way he charmed one into visiting the tower stone for a "Heavenly Power." He used a blinding spell on the other guard and used his birth power to turn invisible and escape to the abandoned Fort Homestead. He resided in the fort for a week when hunger brought him to Pell's gate. The innkeeper eyed him suspiciously at first but when he bought a feast of food and gave a tip he didn't seem to mind Laniel's presence. It was there when a woman referring to herself as a friend told him that he could find shelter, along with justice, at Blackfeather Cave. Seeing he had no other option, he set out.

Place of Birth: Imperial City, Temple District

It's really good!

Although, the recent history is kind of 'iffy'.
The CoC was in hiding until recently, and is technically supposed to be dead. If you could change that part about his rescue, then that would be grand.

I'll go ahead and post some Char Sheets that were PM'd to me.
Holy Walrus
Name: Farquad Matahl

Race: Dunmer

Appearance: Farquad is an average height and weight, if not a little more muscular than avg. His face doesn't have many outstanding features, just a goatee, brown eyes, a hooked nose... His hair is greased back, and black.

Personality: Farquad is a humble man, an eager traveler. He loves to sit back with his friends and drink ale.

Clothing: Wears a leather jerkin with a white shirt under it, and black leather pants. The sleeves on his clothes are cut off.

Armor: Only dresses in armor if he deems it necessary. His armor consists of a gold-lined custom silver helmet with a widened vision, steel greaves, steel armguards, and a silver chestplate/backplate. Obsidian spikes jut out of his helmet at odd angles.

Bio: Farquad is the representative sent from Morrowind, he is a very popular Guard Captain, and has proved himself to have a very sharp wit at times. He thinks that this new Empire is a blasphemy and must be toppled at once.


Lemunde

Name: Degaroth Chairslayer
Race: Nord
Age: 36
Birthsign: The Tower
Class: Retired Siege Engine Operator

Major Skills (5): Blunt, Hand to Hand, Light Armor, Construction, Basic Machinery
Minor Skills (5): Writing, Drinking, Alteration, Athletics, Unarmored

Physical Description: Heavy build with long black hair pulled back in a pony tail. Dark blue eyes. Has a scar running across the length of his forehead.

Mental Description: Suffers from moderate short term memory loss. It's not uncommon to see him forget an important event or conversation minutes after the fact.
Armour: Leather boots and gloves.
Weapons: Iron hammer, length of chain(not exclusively a weapon)
Clothing: Light beige tunic and black trousers
Special Appearal: Wears a length of heavy chain like a bandolier

Short Bio: Degaroth served faithfully in the Imperial Legion for five years as a siege engine operator. Events before that time are fuzzy. During a battle a siege engine he was operating malfunctioned causing a chain to snap and whip Degaroth across the head, knocking him unconscious. He was out for several days before he awoke and it was discovered that his injury had given him a mild case of amnesia and was causing him to forget certain details of current events. Believing that in his condition he had become a liability, Degaroth was discharged and pointed in the direction of Leyawiin, where they hoped he would be able to make it on his own.

Since then, Degaroth has been making his way doing basic construction and assisting with odd jobs. He keeps the length of chain that struck him as a reminder of how he ended up where he is today, as well as a journal to help him keep track of current events. Up until a couple of years ago he was actually doing pretty well for himself, in spite of his condition. He would do his jobs, get paid a modest sum and spend the evenings at the local tavern drinking ale and occasionaly getting thrown out for starting fights and damaging furniture. Lately, however, the local militia has been harassing him, using his memory loss as a means to try to squeeze more taxes out of him and levying hefty fines for crimes that he wasn't entirely guilty of.

Late one night as he was updating his journal, he found a note placed within the pages of his last entry.

"I'm disgusted at the way these pirates have been treating you. You should be too. You seem like you can handle yourself well enough in a fight. Word is that there's a gathering in a place called Blackfeather Cave. The idea is to see what they can do to make some changes in the current political structure. Preferably with extreme prejudice! Things are only going to get worse from here, Degaroth. I know it will be hard for you but if you want to make a difference I think you should attend that meeting. Remember, MEETING...BLACKFEATHER CAVE...COUP. Keep this note in your journal so you don't forget but show it to no one.

I hope you do well,
A friend"

With that, he gathered a few essentials, locked up his shack and struck off for Blackfeather Cave.

Degaroth is generally a good natured person but can be quick tempered when he's had a few drinks. He takes his handicap in stride and doesn't let it get to him when someone points something out that he's forgotten.

Place of Birth: Skyrim...probably.

Hmm, an interesting history, but good nonetheless. Works perfectly, except I don't see why he needed to go to the Tower stone. Seems like you could just have him cast a light spell, then invisibilty without any need for distraction. And the fort seems frivilous as well, but life isn't always straightforward. Keep it if you wish, just some nit picking on my part.

@Holy: I don't really mind either way. I myself have only been in one "succesful" RP to date: FANE by Illusionary Nothing. I have joined a few recently, though, and they all look very good ^_^ A.k.a. This one.

Length doesn't mean it is a good post. I admit, I made a wicked long post in Forrestgump's RP, but the length isn't what made it good. My mancandiness did that ;)

If you want to know what makes a post good...that would require it's own thread.

I'll try mah best, Darkom :).. I'm not going to be writing take-up-a-page posts but I'll definitely try my best. I'm not a super experienced RPer, either, I've only been in 3 active ones, and one of them I only posted once in. The other one died out, and the third is Chriso's What Lies Beneath?..
