    Why change the past when you can own this day?
    I would appreciate another RPer, once the story is set in stone. For now it is private so the cast can get the ball rolling so we can open it up! I'll let you know personally once it's open!

    Your friendly neighborhood weirdo
    Simus sent me to three roleplays (or rather recommended) so I'll keep and eye on this one. You all seem like a cool bunch and this sounds like an awesome roleplay. I'll hover for a while and see how the 'ball rolls for ya'. :) Can't wait to see how it goes!

    Misc: Lots of stories surround the last name. Some say he fought a pack of wolves off, some say he was a illegitimate son of hircine, some say he fought off a werewolf( Story varies based off who you ask. The weapon often's changes, in some cases it was his bare hands, others his sword, and even some with a tree branch!(ardin's favorite). Ardin has a brother. His brother's name is Hendrikk, they were quite close, always having each others backs in and out of battle.His best friends is Avia'Cael, a wood elf he met while in valenwood scouting and sharpening his archery skill.

    Backstory:
    Family history:Ardin was a first born to a family of warriors/healers. His father fought in the great war and his mother was a healer in it as well. Thats how Odvar(the father) and Aliea(the mother) met. They have been in love since. Ardin at a young age showed interest in reading, the sword and bow, and writing. Now his father showed him all he knew in sword combat and some in archery. His mother taught him how to read and write. Ardin's brother Hendrikk was born two years after Ardin. Hendrikk at a young age was more loud and hyper than Ardin. As the years went by, the boys were very similar, but Hendrikk was more a people person(and ladies man for that matter) and more sociable. Ardin while open, is more introverted. He is however, very open and sincere around his friends.They both travel together, but recently they decided to split up to see more, correct injustice, and to experience other places. They both grew very close to their mother over the years, not saying that they hate their father, they do love him as well.

    The Traveling Sword:Ardin and Hendrikk joined a pack of roaming warriors and law bringers called The traveling Sword( often shortened as "The Sword"). There he met a handful of warriors, archers, and so fourth of like minded people who believed in justice and protection of innocents that were ignored by the law. He also met his best friend Avia'Cael, a female wood elf that saw injustice daily in Valenwood and in her travels.Over the times and years, Avia and Ardin became very close. There was people from all walks of life, an Orc warrior, a reguard spellsword, a nord warrior, a Khajiit archer with two elven daggers, Avia'cael, a master with the bow and her blade, Breton healer with a nac(and Obsession really) with daggers, a dark elf spellbow, Ardin, and Hendrikk.Ardin and Avia grew very close over the years. They have a "romance enkindling". Their travels took them far and wide, from Skyrim to Cryodiil, and Cryodill to morrowind, morrowind to hammerfell,Elsweyr, and every place in between. They loved the adventure and bringing peace and justice to places where the law ignores or isn't present. They often deal with corrupted officals, bandits, theives. A few times they even dealt with a elite group of mercenaries called "The Black band". The black bands consists of warriors, mages, archers, and just flat out sadistic animals. The black band is leaded by Jullius"Wolff" aventius, an imperial veteran from the great war that was discharged for his war crimes. One night the group was over run and was slaughtered, only leaving Ardin, his brother, and Avia to fight off the attackers. Ardin killed Wolff in the attack thinking it would be over. The next days they went to his home, only to find it a fiery blaze, his parents dead due to an attack by Wolffs captain. A battle ensued, leaving the rest of the black band destroyed.

    He enlisted with the imperial army shortly after to reunite skyrim, viewing Ulfric as the same kind of a person that he fought during his time with the sword. His career spanned across multiple years and advancements. He was hailed as "the wolf of the north" due to the ferocity he had on the battlefield. He left shortly after, never telling why, and made his way to the Imperial city to begin anew. He stayed there seeing how his homeland had only pain. Maybe he moved to the Imperial city for the Arena, so he could put what he knows to the test, and to somehow drown the pain out with more pain.

    ____

    Personality:

    Dolmas the Mad is just that: Mad as they come. He speaks to himself, almost as if arguing with someone who no one else can see. The name he mutters often is Valen, however, sometimes he mutters his own name. No one has gotten close enough to Dolmas to know just what he says.

    The Dolmas of this time is a lot harder. His combat skill is as sharp as always, but has a sense of near desperation. As if the man was killing for more than just sport. As if he were doing it to feed some sort of dark frenzy…

    He has made no allies within the arena; no alliances of any sort. Most wouldn’t want to anyway, as they know that despite how hard he trains, he is a few berries short of a bushel.

    All that is known is how hard he fights, and how determined he is to destroy you when you face him. That is what he needs to do after all, to sate his bloodlust...

    As seen above, with a few minor adjustments. He does not wear the bandana. he instead wears his trademark, elven steel framed Skull mask. The mask is made up of an actual skull, but is framed so that it fits on his face properly as he battles. The mask’s origin is still unknown. The armor is also more worn than pictured, and is faded in the color. There are patched up cuts and tears around the outfit as well.

    As for weapons, he carries two blades. One, a rapier that he had removed from a noble’s son many years prior. This is tied to his waist. The other, a katana, taken from an unknown warrior. This is worn across his back. He also has a knife in his right boot, as well as at the small of his back. They are only for emergency.

    Skills:

    Major: One-handed, Alteration, Block
    Minor: Light armor, Sneak, Speech

    History:

    In all honesty, I don’t want to disclose what makes Dolmas so much fun to write for. So, if possible, I’d like to keep this version of Dolmas’ story under wraps, as I will be showing a different side of Dolmas than I had before. A darker, more broken version.

    Here, I wanted to make Dolmas as dark as possible, as this was the darkest point of his life. This is when he gave up on trying to outdo his affliction. This is him at his worst. I’ll show you his nature and story through the story, as giving it all at once is...overwhelming.

    Gear
    Again, Refer to the picture
    Armor: A light imperial armor with markings from many vampiric clans. Very sturdy and strong. A large round steel shield won't budge when a giant smacks it. He usually wears his shield on his back, under his cape, to protect his flanks and to move faster.
    Weapons: His spear, Heartseeker is an unique steel spear that magically becomes stronger with the more blood it has on it. The fresher the blood is the sharper the spear becomes. He always wears his spear, and uses it as a walking stick in snowy areas.
    Fighting Style: Nero is quite the fighter. Unless the situation calls for it he won't get out his shield and fight with his spear only. He moves very fast around the battlefield and tries to stab critical and vital points of the enemy with his spear. The longer the fight goes the better for after Heartseeker is fed up with the blood of the enemy, it's strikes will pierce through solid metal. When he wields his shield alongside his spear, he assumes a more defensive stance, forcing the enemy to charge into his pike. Nero knows a lot of conjuration skills, but he rarely uses any, as he tries to make people think he knows no magic. When he's in trouble he can summon bound swords to help him fight close enemies or summon javelins that he can throw at far away targets in order to hunt them down. He can't revive corpses, since his necromancy is weak, but he can summon an antronach of his choice to defend him, however, his magicka is low, thus he rarely uses spells.
    History/Biography
    Nero was born in the Imperial City, from a noble and wealthy merchant family. Alongside his merchant parents, he had an uncle who was a solder in the imperial army a and a younger sister named Julia. When he was a kid, he loved his uncle a lot, for he thought Nero how to handle imperial weaponry from a young age. In his early teens, his family started losing wealth, so they had to move in a manor in the countryside. He became depressed as he was forced to leave all his friends from the city, and even more depressed when his uncle died in battle. When he was approaching adulthood, the manor got raided by bandits, and both his parents died. In exchange for his sister's life and safety, Nero joined the bandit group and started raiding trade caravans and small settlements, sacking old caves and hideouts. He always hated the bandits for what they did to his family, yet they were his only hope of keeping his sister safe and well. Julia was all he had left, and he loved her more then everything in Tamriel. At the age of 23, he and and a small group of the bandits raided a cave of vampires, but the vampires outsmarted by using conjuration and ilusion magic, raising the dead and turning the living against each other. Nero was the only survivor, and the vampires offered him a seat in their clan. He started enjoying his position as a vampire, praying on the weak and making a name for himself amongst not only his clan, but other vampire clans as well. He did all this, but he remained close with the bandits, making sure his sister was alive and well. During his time as a vampire, he fell in love with a dark elf from the clan, and he loved her almost as much as his sister. He served the vampires for 20 long years, and during his adventures he earned his weapon, Heartseeker, as well various conjuration spells. He also enrolled in the Imperial Army, trying to chase the dream he had as a kid, but only for a couple of months before he decided army wasn't for him. His sister was doing well on her own, as she became the leader of the bandits that once killed her parents. On a fateful day, Julia was captured by Nero's clan, and she was to be made a cattle for the vampires to feed on. That night Nero tried to save her, and he would have been successful, but the dark elf that he loved turned him to the head of the clan, who killed Julia and sentenced Nero to be executed. As heroic and strong as he was, in the day of his execution, Nero sat fire to the entire cave, letting the entire vampire clan burn. He barely made it out alive, along with his dark elven lover, whom he killed shortly after. He became a mercenary, and a vampire hunter, known as The Nemesis, along the vampires of Cyrodill. Soon, however, he made enough money to cure his vampirism, and although he looked young, he was 58 years old. Two years passed since he cured his vampirism, and he is still youthful, despite his age. He enlisted in the arena in hopes of a new adventure, and a way to forget his past.​

    The color is red. I also think Ardin and Simus might know Nero from his short time in the legion.

    This is an edited copy of my CC for this RP. My colour will be the blue that is in the CC.
    Any questions just ask, I know I'm not going to be in this RP right from the start but I thought I'd throw my CC up here anyway so it can be available to see along with all the others.​
    LuahBanner.png

    Name: Lu’ah (she has no last name) Also known as “Lu the Blue”
    Age: 20
    Race: Redguard
    Birth town: Rihad
    Sexuality: likes men and women
    Affiliations: Pirates of Abecean
    Current residence: has none
    Afflictions: None
    Skills: Destruction/Conjuration Mage, seduction, Piracy, helping people to “unload” of their burdens, duel wield bound swords
    Strenghts: hand to hand combat, swordsmanship, ability to find her foes weakness and exploit them, flexibility and agility
    Weaknesses: light armour, relies on her magicka reserves for combat,


    Appearance*:Medium height. Smooth dark skin. Very athletic but feminine build. Dark, shoulder length hair. Deep blue eyes, very unusual for a Redguard. Blue tribal tattoo – slashes under eyes and down chin. She has a sultry grace to her that people find mesmerising. PoA brand on her left hip she keeps hidden. Some ritual scarring down her body - six two-inch long raised lines, three on either side running along her ribs.


    Dress: Ok I've sorted out Lu'ah's dress:

    ARMOUR:
    KGrHqNHJE4FBknJQ7bMBQiEVRGn60_35.jpg
    Black fitted bodice. Black long gauntlets and then just black leather pants and boots. Her gauntlets have the palms missing so that she can use her bound Swords spell better.
    CASUAL DRESS:
    6179138-1390907144.jpg


    Lu'ah's tattoo:
    Luahstattoo.jpg


    Weapons and tactics: She is not afraid and will rush into a melee. She doesn't carry any weapons with her now as she duel-wields Bound Swords exclusively (she used to duel-wield Scimitars). The swords will slice an opponent like a real sword but Lu'ah's bound swords can also burn and seer skin due to her tweaking the spell to include shock. She is very agile and due to her wearing very light armour she can move quickly and freely. She will quickly find her opponents weakness and use that to her advantage. She is motivated purely by money so is not remorseful, nor merciful.
    MAGINVBoundWeapon.png

    (Obviously not the ax. If anyone knows where to find this image with two swords then please pm me.)


    Personality: Lu’ah is lost in the world; she is trying to find a place she belongs. She is determined and strong willed and at times very stubborn and one-track minded. She likes to succeed at whatever she puts her mind to, and gets very annoyed when her plans are changed. Can be ruthless and driven. In saying that, on the outside she conveys a confident demeanor, but inside she is always questioning herself and her actions. Completely obsessed with gold and jewels and loves charming her way into anyone's bed.

    Bio: An orphan of Hammerfell, Lu’ah was raised by an old spice merchant who taught her to trade and use her magical powers. When she was a teenager, the old merchant died and left her his wealth and she joined a group of travelling pirates who sailed the Abecean Sea and down the eastern coasts of Cyrodiil and Valenwood. She continued this for a few years, learning about any magic when she could capture a mage who would teach her. She eventually left the “merchant” trade and travelled across Cyrodiil seeking riches on land, but she is still a ruthless pirate at heart.
