Kir the Silent
Until Your Flesh Is Consumed
The Dwemer have always been a fascinating and mysterious race. Their legacy lasting long after their disappearance, dotting the entire continent of Tamriel. These ruins of ancient fortresses and cities attract people from all walks of life; bandits wanting a shelter and hideout, scholars researching for personal knowledge or the books they write, and adventurers searching for fame and fortune. Their cities go deep underground and who knows what one may find when exploring the depths of the earth? But...what if there was something else down there? Down in the deep dark? Something even more ancient than the dwemer and never before seen by the eyes of men or mer? A wealthy patron has recently discovered something down in the earth. Something down far deeper than any other person has dared to ventured.
An ancient tome found in the depths of one of the deepest Dwemer city on record tells of an expedition. An expedition that tells of a gleaming, white doorway secreted away for ages. Shining like a beacon in a dismal place known as the Everdark. This ancient doorway was a mystery to even the Dwemer, a puzzle that they could never solve. What treasures, or horrors, lie just beyond this marvel? The one who discovered the tome has kept this secret, while cleverly and subtly seeking out a group of brave souls; scholars, warriors, rogues, and the like. Any who would be courageous, or foolish, enough to brave...what lies beneath...
Mystery, intrigue, action, horror, and a dark secret that makes the gods cringe in fear. All this and so much more awaits just beyond this alluring gate; like a rose it is beautiful to look at, but hides thorns. Who, or what, built it and what lies beyond? I left the the description and goals of this roleplay vague on purpose, as I won't be revealing too much of the plot. This is something for our characters to discover on their own.

PLEASE READ ALL TEXT BELOW
This is roleplay is going to be my most ambitious one yet. It will be extremely in-depth and have deeper meaning than many roleplays. It will focus on extensive character development, mystery, and why there is a reason people should fear the dark unknown. If accepted into this roleplay your character, you, will face trials that could destroy them; whether emotionally, mentally, or physically. Not every battle you will face can be won by blade or bow. This roleplay will have action/adventure, but have strong undertones of personal growth and character evolution.
I will be very particular at who is accepted into this roleplay. I will be looking for roleplayers with good grammar, the ability to post regularly, and the level of skill expected of any roleplayer. I apologize if I seem high and mighty, but I have high hopes for this roleplay. I also apologize in advance if your application is not accepted. It is in no way a reflection of personal bias or a reflection of your skill as a roleplayer, so do not feel dejected or saddened. There are limited spots. To apply for this advanced roleplay, please follow the rules below.
Rules and Other Info
Please read everything below carefully before applying.
1. All general forum, and role play rules apply. Please keep that in mind.
2. Power playing (or, "god modding") will not be tolerated. Give your character reasonable abilities and skills. Do not make them knowledgeable of information they cannot possibly know. A realistic character with believable flaws is much more likable and interesting.
3. Please try to remain active in the thread. Post regularly, at the very least once every other day. If you need to leave for any amount of time, please be sure to let me know. DO NOT apply if you cannot commit or think you will drop out at a later date. There are enough half-finished and abandoned roleplays out there, I don't plan on adding anymore.
4. Be fair to your fellow role players. Try to make sure all participants are included.
5. Please keep all posts consistent with the content and lore of The Elder Scrolls.
6. This is a MATURE thread, rated 18+. Profanity, violence, disturbing images, and sexual themes will be included, so please be advised.
7. So long as any profanity or sexual themes are included both tastefully, reasonably and at the best of discretion they will be accepted.
8. Please try to use proper spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. Type your posts in a word processor for proof reading if it will help. This makes posts easier and better to read. I will be expecting this of all players, so please keep that in mind when applying.
9. I would prefer that players in this story be only involved in 2 or 3 other roleplays simultaneously. Simply for the fact that posts are generally of better quality when there are fewer obligations for the player.
10. Player involvement will be capped at a maximum of 7 players, including myself. However players may be invited to create and include their own minor, recurring "NPC" if they so choose. This would be a character of the player's choosing meant to enrich their own experience and the experience of the other players. For example, someone such as a relative or friend of your character. Please understand this doesn’t mean you can have two characters. This “NPC” would not be present at all times, normally disappearing after the beginning few posts. However they can be reintroduced if it ties into the story and makes logical sense. Of course other npcs, such as a generic guard or barkeep, are perfectly acceptable if the situation requires creation of one.
