A mixture of ES Skills and Reality Skills, EI: Puzzle-Solving, Acute senses, etc. Pretty much everything your character is good or bad at, write it down.

Also, what about a mix of both chosen by Skill and Fate. Think, No one really would want to volunteer for a suicide mission, so fate would have to play some sort of role in the selection process.

I am going to read more, but I have an idea.

So, there are only 9 RP'ers?

I figure you should increase the number. I'll probably join myself.

Well, they're could be more then nine, like citizens helping the main 'nine' out and shtuff.

If there are any positions open, I would love to reserve/take one.

I have one question, can we have pets? I have always wondered about having a little kitty-cat as a pet, that could keep my person company.

I call a spot, one of the men spots.

I will likely use Jamaal for this one. The old fasion assassin fighter (Red Guard) who doesn't have the jacked up magic, but is straight up.


I haven't got to use him much, and I will likely use him....


ACTUALLY


I change my mind.


I will use Arethan Andas for this RP, my Dunmer Mage.

So, I call the mer spot, if there are any left. If no Elf spots are left, I will stick with Jamaal.

Much as I would love to join, I don't think I have the time. Definitely not right now, but perhaps in a week or two when things have calmed down where I am. If you still have spots open by then, of course.

I really liked The 13th Warrior as well, and this RP definitely sounds interesting. If you've got a spot available, I'd love to join. If you decide to stick with the limit on the races, I don't really care one way or another which race I go with, so I'll take whatever isn't filled after everybody else makes their decision. I'm ok with leftovers. B)

Get everyone that will join, and then re-do the prophecy.

Makes it look fancy.

I even got your theme song.

Funny Wooly, but sadly I was going to go with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOZ6xFxJqg instead .

Anywhoozle, I'm thinking about merging Fate and Skill roster together. So your characters skills made them chosen by fate. Yay.

Also, as for my character, I'll go with an Argonian (Big surprise ), who's an awesome possum cook and has some pretty good senses. He's young to, so he'll be pretty energetic and possibly annoying.

The skill-based system is really starting to grow on me. It makes sure everyone has an obvious strength outside the typical game skills.

If you're ready for us to start creating characters, is there a particular character sheet you want?

I'm waffling between a couple character concepts. I think I'll stake a spot in the Nine now, then wait for others to create their characters and see what party roles need filling.

If you want to start creating characters, then go ahead. But I probably won't start this up for another day or two.

Feel free to brainstorm about strengths and weaknesses and the like. For skills, we can't have more then two people have the same main skill. They all need to be different. For example, My Argonian is going to be a young, inventive lad with acute senses. Someone else could have an unnatural ability to comprehend magic, you know, diversity. Each one of the nine would play their own role in the group. (Someone with good sense would make a good Reconnaissance/Sentry)

As for the character sheet, use any format your comfortable with, but make sure you list what your character is good at, and what he is bad at. And I want it detailed, meaning every little thing your character can or cannot do very well. Also, if you want to, include some of their Hobbies.

Sorry if this was already asked, but could you play as a normal soldier or a support position, not actually one of the Nine?

Just cuz I'm sure there'd be regular soldiers along with the Nine heroes.

Ill reserve a nine spot if they are still available. Human.

Yes you may.

Also, the race-restriction thingy is gone. So you can be any race without worrying about the restriction, but I'd like some diversity.

Okay, so due to my lack of time, I'm still 50/50 on this one. I'm still going to make a sheet, but is there anything specific you want put on there? If not, I'll just use my usually template.

Seeing as I've got to go soon, I've only skimmed what most people said, so sorry if this has already been asked: are the skills of characters will have TES skills or more of a personality thing?

By the way, I'm changing my vote to 'chosen by fate'. Sorry for the inconvenience but meh, that's just how my mind works. :shrug:

Anyway, how many people have we got so far?

EDIT: :facepalm: Sorry for the double post; I didn't realise.

I'd love to be one of the mer, if there's a place. I understand if the places are already taken.

ITS BACK!!!!!!!


(IT = me)

and your not possibly refering to my Dro'Zar are you sparrow?

anyways, i think ive calmed down enough now after i got annoyed at my RP dying to come back to playing

1 i love the skills idea, i'd personally suggest having 2-3 skills that character excels in, (in-game and non-game)

2 also, if ur concerned on people coming and going and breaking the sorta prophecy feel then why not only give the spots to people who PLEDGE to stay till the end, iunno, thats the kinda strict thingy i might do

also, i am saying i will join if u make it, and i have several characters existing i could use but also wouldnt mind if i had to make a new


1, for those that remember him, Narkiourru my khajiit ruffian, incredibly lucky and gets away with most shtuff thru shear confidence and lack of consequence fun to play as imo

2, Dirzryn is my lesser played Dunmer sorcerer (Vagrant Sorcerer) seeks to break the boundries that have been placed on magick and the schools, attempts to understand, break down and recreate magick effects into new ones, and hence isnt liked very much by the mages guild.

and 3, u probably guessed it, Dro'Zar my khajiit monk, tho i might make him pre-magick, in his backstory he was a highly skilled unarmed fighter who's only magick was brief descruction spells weaved in with his physical attacks. the only downside with him would be the fact he's a vampire so, im not sure how hard that would be to make work in the wandering around part, as i assume most would happen in the day.

well those are just 3 ideas, i could easy come up with another. could possibly even use

4, Vhirk, a young Dunmer archer who uses an enchanted bracer to 'solidify' his magick energy into arrow shafts which he then fires from his magically adapted bow, what i like to call an "Arcane Archer" or a "SpellShot" but i only got to use him a bit before so meh, not fussed


your welcome to criticise my chars if u wish, the least uber one of the 4 would be Narkiourru by far....

Never I thought would ever have to quote myself Also, I'm merging Chosen by Skill and Fate.


Welcome Back Korroded, long time no see

I don't care what race you are (Of course, you can't be a Dremora or some other other-worldly creature), just as long as there isn't more than three of that particular race.

EDIT: Gots to go tah schoolz! Buh-bye, y'all, cya in about 6-7 hours

Wooo, welcome back KK. :wave:

Okay, backseat gamemaster that I usually am, I've compiled a list of people in this thread who have expressed interest in being in the Nine. By the sounds of it, Jerod's not doing the race restriction anymore... but rather just looking for a variety of characters with a handful of unique talents.

Definites:
Jerod Kayne: (duh)
Person from Anticlere "I WANT IN!"
Bsparrow: "DIBS ON TEH MER"
Woolymammoth45: "I call a spot"
Nillocjames: "I'll reserve a spot in the Nine"
Korroded-Korpse: "I AM BACK, AND HERE ARE MY IDEAS!"

People who were more polite in their "yes"es:
Peleus: "Willing to join"
Elite Birthday: "If there are any open, I'd love to take one"
Ezequiel: "If a spot is available, I'd love to join."
Marn: "I'd love to, if there's a place."

Maybes:
Chriso: "50/50"
Ambrose51: "Don't have time. Maybe in a week"

People who have contributed without explicitly expressing interest:
Manu
Evil Pigeon
Shadowstrike
Scatmang Cornlioni


So, that is officially more than nine people giving at least some form of a yes. But like Jerod said, more than nine wouldn't be an issue. It's ultimately Jerod's decision who the Nine are, anyway.

Okay, good list but I think I should let Jerod (and everyone else, really) know that you shouldn't reserve me a spot despite the fact I said ''50/50'': my time can change randomly and due to that, I'd rather let others have a chance.

I'm mostly likely in but I'm waiting to see what exactly the finished product is gonna look like.

Yeah, I think that would be the best idea. Are you going to edit the OP or something, Jerod?

Possibly. Peleus said he'd get back to me on editing it. I'm not the best at polishing my stories, that's why I ask for help :3

I was first thinking that you guys could all fight to the death over the last eight slots, but, I changed my mind due to my scenario being rather time consuming ... and messy.

But, I'll do as first come first serve.


That's six right there, so everyone else is going to have to negotiate over the last three slots. Remember, you can also play as a non-nine character that follows them around or something. So if you can't be one of the Nine, you could always be something else.

EDIT: BSparrow, what I meant by the player roster was that there would be no race restriction, as in no more ''Four men, Three mer, and Two beast-folk'. There's still going to be a total of Nine heroes, but no pre-determined quantity of each race.

Well I'm not going to 'fight' over having one of the last 3 spots; I'll gladly step aside for others.
