Valton: The New Hold, OOC & Sign-Up Thread #XXII

I like him, but if he is antisosial you would spend a lot of time alone in the RP.

What do you think he would do in Valton?

I was thinking I might experiment with stream of consciousness for Varyn a bit. I think it'd be interesting to see how he thinks about things as he goes about his day. :P

He doesn't talk unless it's important in whatever he's doing. And I am planning on having him do busy work in Valton, so he won't neccesarly be alone that much.

Well, he came to Valton as a refuge from the Legion. (Being a deserter and all.) He'll probably get rid of his armor and find some work in Valton. I'm still thinking on how I should introduce him.

Ok. Just remember that if your character is a very silent type he will most likely end up quite lonely throughout the RP. I am not saying this to be mean. That's just how it is in roleplays where social interraction is the key ingredient.

That's actually why I decided to put him as a more silent type of person. Just so we can have the irony of an antisocial person in a roleplay about mostly socializing.

Plus, if I get bored of that, I can find a way to put a change of personality.

Lol, then he'll sue the owner of the inn for that. (If Lawsuits exist in Tamriel.)

Valton will get cake soon!

Assuming Alguidar tells someone about his birthday... :banana:

Also, a necromancer who's a priest of arkay sounds like this: :tops:

However: If Ascended Sleeper will RP a priest of Mara, I'm not so sure. Will it work out fine, with a share chapel and two priests in Valton? Or will they need separate buildings?

Nah, nah, that's just a joke. What I DID have in my mind were some Bosmeri Twins who are secretly cultists of Meridia, and masquerade it with Arkay worship.

Or a dimwitted Bosmer Fisherman to replace Jormaw since Daroska left.

I'm in a Bosmer mood :B

Oooh, I hope we get a story arc with a good old witchhunt >: D

And I sure hope someone finds out about old Al's birthday. We need a good party for the returning players and the newcomers!

Witch Hunt? My Bosmer twins, Nilica and Nalel, are witch hunters, though I was afraid they wouldn't fit due to how Valton ain't too combat orientated. Perhaps they could be of help with this....

Spoiler

So I changed some things. Got rid of his magical and assassin skins and the background related to it. I think it was a bit too much. Now he's just an extremely good hunter and archer, who happens to know alot about alchemy and is a were-mountain lion...

He'll still be the town's alchemist (and is better than the one from Riften :stare:

I like that. I updated the wiki and added hunter to his class, I hope that's alright. I figured you forgot.

I added him to the wiki but I second Ayumi's concerns. Also, I changed the race to Imperial, for the sake of consistency.

I hope you can get nice presents under 24 RP hours. By the way, does anyone know if there's anything established about a Nord's birthday?

Well here's the slightly edited CS. Looking back on it, it's funny how much unnecessary tropes I put into it. I figured I'd keep most of them in though since this character really shouldn't be taken too seriously :tongue:

Name: Theseus
Age: 21
Race: Nord/Redguard
Gender: Male
Height:
6 feet, 3 inches
Birthsign: The Atronach

Appearance: Theseus is tall with broad shoulders and a medium build. He has ear length black hair and intense brown eyes. He has a long scar that runs underneath his right ear and a burn on his left arm.Theseus has a slightly tanned complexion and is often mistaken for being a full Nord. Though with close inspection, his Redguard features can more clearly be distinguished. He moves with a somewhat unbalanced gait and it's obvious upon inspection that he is a bit clumsy. Despite his clumsiness, he has the look of a man who can handle himself well enough in a fight.

Class: Fighter/hired handy man
Skills: Theseus is a relatively skilled swordsman. He knows no spells.

Clothing: Simple clothes underneath scaled leather armor that covers his whole body besides his head.
Weapons: Simple steel sword and an iron dagger.
Misc. Items: A small satchel that he uses to carry his supplies and a wineskin water jug.

Personality: Theseus has a strong sense of justice and will try to help anyone around him. He tends to be quiet around strangers but will be cheerful and hearty around anyone he considers a friend. He can also be reckless and loves danger. He can be reckless but also has a calm zen like attitude.
Major flaws: Theseus's sense of justice and addiction to danger have gotten him into trouble on various accounts. He also has a weakness for women and will often freeze up and act awkwardly around them. He has a fear and hatred towards spiders.

Background: Theseus was born in Markarth to a cruel drunken Nord. His father would often fly into a drunken rage and beat him. He never met his mother and would often day dream of her rescuing him from his father. At the age of twelve Theseus father got a bit more drunk than usual and burned him with a firery piece of fire wood. At that moment Theseusdecided to escape from his prison of a home. That night he gathered supplies and snuck out of the city.
He had not made it far before falling into a crevice face to face with a frostbite spider. The sight of the monster caused the young boy to faint. The creature was about to feast on its prey but was interrupted by a javelin to its back. It turned around only to be stabbed through the eye by an old imperial.

Theseus awoke in a small hut. His eyes fell upon his rescuer, A tall thin man probably in his early fifties. The man was an ex legionnaire who had witnessed many horrors of the Great War. His name was Andrell and he told the boy that he could stay as long as he carried his own weight.

Andrell became the father that Theseus never had and the two got along almost telepathically. During the day the two would fish by the stream that ran next to the imperial's hut and by night Andrell would school Theseus in the ways of combat.

Seven years passed as if they had merely been days. The now nineteen year old Theseus was returning to the hut after a long day of gathering ingredients for the nights dinner. Something seemed wrong though. He could see an unusual amount of smoke rising from where the two resided and Theseus broke into a run.
The sight he saw struck him like a punch to the gut. The charred remains of the hut lay in clumps around the dead body of his mentor. Three arrows protruded from his chest and his face was unrecognizable from what looked to be a mace strike. His steel sword lay limply in his dead hands. Now in a sobbing enraged state,Theseus swept up the sword and ran towards the foliage where the fresh steps of Andrell's killers where sprawled. I'm gonna kill them was the only thought on the young man's mind.

And indeed he did. I could go into detail but all that matters is that Theseus got his revenge, and since that day he vowed to become a force against evil and to stop tyranny wherever it may be.
His journeys eventually guided him to the town of Riften and that is where his story truly begins.

Aw, you changed his name. I liked Theseus :P

I can't say I spot that many changes. I think you made him a bit taller and removed the javelins he carried on his back(?)

I suppose I could change his name back. Theseus seemed a bit out of place in context with TES is all. And yeah I really didn't change too much

It is up to you. Theseus is of Greek origin so it fits well with Imperials and Bretons. And I don't know what his dad's personality is like, but from what we know from the character sheet he is a drunkard that didn't really care for his son. I don't think he would have thought too much about giving a child he doesn't fancy a name fitting to his race or whatever.

Yup! Go ahead :)

Opinions on my first post? And anyone has the time to save Titus from his death?

I think you improved a lot since the last posts I remember from you. About saving him, Alguidar can find him and bring him to town, probably to Nuramon. I just think that the plausibility of him surviving is questionable. We have to assume that the soldier was very incompetent and careless with the execution attempt.

Indeed. I'll admit that my posts as Danus Maximus weren't as good. Mainly because Valton was my first RP in these forums

Speaking of the execution, we could just write it off as pure luck on Titus' part? And mix it with the soldier doing a poor job on executing Titus? That could work I think.

Also, you'll find Titus' crosssbow next to him, incase that's important.

Stomach wounds aren't very fatal in relation to other areas If I recall correctly. Also, there might have been the chance that the soldier didn't want to kill him so he didn't try to leave a fatal injury

Could work. I guess we can just say that something happened in the process that made Titus lucky enough to survive.
