A Tyrant Rises

Post » Tue Dec 29, 2009 12:27 pm

If I forgot something plz tell me this is the first RP thread that I have started.

Intro:

After 100 years, the Oblivion crisis is forgotten. Dagon was defeated and expelled back to his realm of destruction. Taking advantage of the rest of Cyrodil reeling from the scars Dagon left behind, the Imperial City grew stronger than ever. It conquered parts of Morrowind and the Black Marsh, and even went so far as to encroach on Elsweyr's forests. A tyrant has risen to the position of Emperor over the Empire, his strict rules and massive armies kept most people in line. He is a madman, but an excellent tactician and politic. The council is now strictly Imperials, so is every other government position. The counts have little to no power now, their citizens loyal to the Emperor rather than the counts. Anvil is the last bastion of defense against this tyranny, boats from Hammerfell and Valenwood reinforced Anvil with battleships and armies. The Emperor Konrad Von Houdernaus has laid siege to Anvil, his elite Legions the vanguard of his massive army. General Gerick leads this army, the Emperor making it his responsibility to take Anvil. Magic users are very scarce now, and most of the remaining ones are Imperial fanatics, devoting their lives to making the Emperor immortal, and keeping him safe from assassins. The Mages Guild has long since deteriorated, its many members either executed or forced into service to the Empire. The Fighters Guild is strong as ever, its ranks swelling. The Emperor is its Grandmaster. The Thieves guild is almost completely gone, the Gray Fox vanished, and most of the members were killed on the spot by the Emperor's feared Inquisitors. The Dark Brotherhood is taking refuge in the forests of Blackwood, Imperial Hunters vigilantly searching for the assassins. The Crimson Scars, with only 4 remaining members after the Dark Brotherhood massacre, stay inside Deepscorn praying to Sithis for change. The Argonian Tribes of the Black Marsh are banding together, and are slowly pushing out the Imperial garrisons there. Some Tribes have joined the Empire as mercenaries. The number of bandits and marauders has decreased substantially, and the beasts of the woods are all but extinct, save for roaming deer and smaller mammals. Vampire tribes have risen in their power, feeding deeply of the blood of Imperial garrisons in the forests. The more civilized Vampires have disguised themselves as Imperials and have risen through the ranks of the Empire. One is a trusted servant to the Emperor. The Blades are now known as Inquisitors, and they are trained in the arts of politics and are the personal police of the Emperor. Slave trade is now at large, some bandit warlords have grown stronger because of this.

You are working at an Imperial outpost to the east of Leyawiin. You are being hunted by Vampires, and start to doubt the Emperor, for he has left you to die in this desolate outpost. You choose your path, either stay a loyalist, or fight against this tyrant.

Rules:
1. No ubering
2. No character control
3. My word is law
4. Avoid one lining
5. Keep fighting realistic
6. You don't have to pm me, but put some effort into your character sheet please.
7. I will kill your character off if you continuously break the rules
8. I want detailed posts, not just dialogue.
The ninth and most important rule is have fun.


Name: Ferrus "Ferman" Manus

Age: 54

Gender: Male

Race: Dunmer

Height: 6'1

Talents: Quite large and muscular for a Dark Elf, and quite quick with a blade.

Appearance: Darkness surrounds his eyes, and his short beard covers the bottom half of his face. His nose is hooked, and has piercing green/brown eyes. Ferrus has greased back hair and as dark as Dunmer skin goes. Manus's leather cloak covers a steel chestplate and leg guards, his arms only armored in leather.

Weaknesses: Was dealt a blow from a mace during the siege on Anvil that caused permanent damage to his hip. Randomly, jolts of pain will agonize Manus's side, and his men pity him because of this. It seems to be random, although it has rarely happened to him during combat. When he has an attack, you can see Ferrus's side twitching. Sometimes he can keep in control, if he was ready for it, but usually he falls to his knees and screams with pain.

Personality: Although he has almost no respect from his officers, he cracks a joke now and then, and is friendly with his men. They like his attitude, but disrespect him only because of his rank and loyalty. Very charismatic leader during battle, and throws celebrations if victorious.

Short Bio: Ferman was hired as a mercenary by the Emperor, and after six years of service was hired into General Currux's Legion. After serving for five years he was promoted to Captain and sent to this outpost in Blackwood. A commanding officer, his loyalty to the Empire is concrete, and commands little respect from the other men at the fort because of this.

Equipment: Ferman carries his two lucky cutlasses, and a small but sharp axe. He carries five cloves of garlic to ward off vampires, and has silver enchantments warded into his swords and axe so he could put a up a fight against a bloodsvcker.

Misc:

His arrows are tipped with steel and the bodys are made of oak, the feathers on them are Eagle feathers. He wears a Burlap Vest with Leather boots and greaves. He has a long cloak to go over these on cold Winter nights. His sword and arrows are enchanted so that the undead don't stand a chance.

Name: Habari "The Liar" Telavani
Age: 23

Gender: Male

Race: Khajiit

Height: 5.9 feet

Talents: Fast, quick, and strong. And excellent at lying.

Appearance: Habari has no hair on his head and all that covers him is his reddish brownish fur. He has averge size muscles on his body, and two gold earrings on each one of his ears. He also wears imperial legion armor and carries a large silver sword on his back that contains weird markings that he boasts to woman that he's killed a thousand soilders with. Habari is also considered quite handsom for a Feline or Khajiit. Even enough that he attracts Human females with his charms.

Personality: Habari is famous for boasting, though most of them are considered to be lies. He also has a cocky self-loving attitude towards things, but don't get him wrong he is quite brave and is well known by others to jump ahead into battle without anyone giving an order. He's very outgoing and loves woman even human woman. He's known to hang around bars and try to flirt with woman on his off time. He is incredibly outgoing. Sadly due to these he considered a show off and a annoyance to others

Short Bio: Habari grew up with thieves as parents who were also high ranking members of the thieves guild. This is probably what caused him to lie later in life, as his parents always seemed have thaugh him that what they don't know can't hurt them. When Habari was 20 he entered the legion, and he showed potential. But due to his over active ego. He annoying boasting and his constant direct disobeying of orders he has never ranked up in the legion. His superiors hate him and see that he hurts the legion more than he helps it. Also his lies and claims that he's killed a thousand men with his sword have caused enough trouble already. None of what he says is true and as long as he keeps up the selfish attitude he may be kicked out alogether, or if he really screws up, they may just excute him.

Equipment: A sword he calls J'ghasta. It contains strange markings on it how he obtained it is unknow. Other than that it's worthless.

Misc: Habari considered annoying by other legion members and he loves to boast. Habari has also served in the legion for 3 years and is still has never been promoted to anything. Most likely caused by his selfishness and faliure to really care about his job, Not only that but his superiors are not on good terms with him.

Loves to drink and loves to act out.

Hasn't really killed a thousand men as you've already guessed. It's guessed to be somewhere around 5-10 in the 3 years he's served but this is not counting things like vampires, witches, werewolves, ect.

Fox. You should change your char sheet lol.. Your character has basically no problems. He's fast, strong, charismatic, brave, handsome, gets all the women, and can lie. Can you cut it down a little bit? Also put what rank/class you are.

Nice bio firenze.. But the equipment is a tad uber.. I mean he has a double sided silver longsword, a hand crafted silver crossbow with 50 silver bolts.. A glass dagger? Tune it down a little bit; you'll get better items as the game progresses, but don't start out with uber stuff cuz you're only a scout. Also, no more scouts for now. We already have 2 and that's enough at the moment.

Valiant... A few things. One can you not be a Marksman/Scout class? I already said no more Scouts. Legionnaire is preferred at the moment. Secondly, don't say that when you turn 30 you will become a vampire because that really doesn't make much sense.. Neither does the fact that he is "friends" with Dark Brotherhood members and Vampires? You're going to have to drastically edit your sheet. I also don't see how someone like that would be able to get into the Imperial Legion. And when you edit it put how he came into the Legion in your bio.

Hey Holy, this RP looks very good and promising. Mind if I join? My sheet is below.


Name: Salvius Nikotias

Age: 38

Gender: Male

Race: Imperial

Birthsign: The Warrior. Gives him increased Strength.

Height: 6'2''

Weight: 190lbs, quite muscular but it's not overdone. Though he is stronger then he firsts looks.

Talents: His swordsmanship has been noticed for being very powerful and fights with force (lacks a bit of speed though). Also good in heavy armour and can block. Can take a fair amount of damage.

Appearance: Realitively handsome, but nothing overly special. Has a few small scars on his body from battles in the past. Has a short 'rogue knot' pony tail that goes down to about halfway down his neck. Often seems to have a smile on his face, giving off the impression of a happy man. Nose is quite small but straight and undamaged. His slowly increasing age is starting to show however with the marks on his face. Has thin eyebrows, that sometimes cannot be seen in certain light. Has a small chin goatee, but no other facial hair feeling that it doesn't look right on him. Also has suprisingly long eyelashes. Even though he is tall and lean, he is oddly not fast.

Weaknesses: Ever since he was about 15 years of age, he has had a problem in his knee where whenever he does to much physical activity it 'causes excrutiating amounts of pain, making him barely able to walk, let alone fight. This makes Salvius only good for short bursts of power as too much will just make him collapse. Even though he is strong and fights with power he doesn't have much speed, making him a quite easy hit for some people.

Personality: Extremely loyal to the legion and the Empire. However he is starting to have doubts about the Emperor and if he really should be with them. When he is training and fighting he seems very serious. But get him out of his uniform during breaks and off-time he is an extremely happy and cheerful man. Always wanting to make new friends and make everybody around him happy. This has often lead to his superiors thinking he is not mentally strong enough for the Legion, but he proved them wrong. Is a devout follower of the Nine and they guide his good deeds. Although he is often friendly, when pushed too far he will get very angry, sometimes resulting in him using restrained violence, but he rarely ever swears, he hates the words.

Short Bio: His story isn't really an exciting one, but it makes sense nonetheless. His father was in the Legion when Salvius was growing up. Dad taught Salvius everything he could and by the age of 22, he was accepted into the Legion as recruit. Throughout the years he showed much promise, and it was possible that one day he may reach the rank of Captain. However he has stayed as a Legionnaire. After a few years in the Legion, Salvius was starting to doubt it and the Empire, but didn't want to dissapoint his father who was very proud of him, instead he just stuck to it. One day, an elite group of the Legion was sent to Blackwood, however it didn't go well ad they're now being hunted by Vampires. Salvius has decided that if he lives through the current predicement, he will fight against the Tyrant, also know as the Emperor. Ever since a boy he has been brought up as a worshipper of the Nine Divines.

Equipment: Carries just the ordinary Legion equipment. However he has a Silver longsword, which was crafted by his father himself, it isn't any more powerful then a regular one but it looks slightly more elegant and is slightly more durable. Dons Imperial Legion armour, however in most battles does not wear a helmet, he feels it impairs his vision and ability to hear. However in very fierce battles he will wear it. Has a steel dagger as a small side arm. Salvius also wears an amulet given to him by his mother when he turned 16. Whenever he wears it, Salvius feels like he was more energy, so wears it in battle. (It has a fortify fatigue enchantment, but he doesn't know that exactly.)

Misc:
-Has a twitch in his right eye, that people sometimes laugh at, but only behind his back.
-It has also been noticed that he has an unorthodox fighting style, but never is criticised.
-Tries to get to the Chapel every Sundas.
-Favourite drink is just ordinary beer, never been a fan of the fancy wines.

Class: He was recently promoted to Sergeant by the Captain.

Hey guys I just had a thought, I think we should use this thread for discussing ideas and posting characters and make another thread for actually RPing. This is because we have already filled up a page of CS'. Like I said just a thought, we don't need to go by it. Just thought it might make the RP look neater without all the OOC posts.
