    I would like to hear Skadi's perspective but since I'm not personally involved in that particular fight I don't think my opinion counts for very much. :p
    It's rather long winded and not really that interesting, just a placeholder. :/

    *can't breathe* :D I don't know which browser you're using Gid, but I was able to access the whole site on Firefox. I also cleared my cache on Chrome and that helped, so maybe that'll work for you too. :p

    Negative Traits: Very cold until she gets comfortable around you, fights very dirty and to the death (even when it'd be better if she left her target alive), does NOT take betrayal/disloyalty well. At all. Also is a bit of a defensive liar to keep people out or sway things in her favor.

    Likes/Loves: Parents, the members of her Brotherhood sect, and Farkas (Though he doesn't know it yet)

    Dislikes/Hates: The Emperor, most Nords (Companions are an exception as they've treated her family well), and 'goody-two-shoes' honest types.

    Hair Length: Tailbase length, flat and silky smooth

    Hair Color: Raven-black

    Horns: Two small stub ones sticking out on each side of her head like devil horns, and has a row of three lining her jawbones on either side (often hidden by her hair as she files them short). Has a row of two running up the bridge of her nose.

    Casual Attire: Dark red tunic, black pants underneath. Has a habit of wearing boyish clothes to make it easier to speed off if needed. Always wearing a Copper-Moonstone Enchanted Circlet (Named Lunar Circlet) on her head. (Has the Fortify Pickpocket and Fortify Health enchantments)

    Armour: Dark Brotherhood armor, basically. Of the Ancient variety. Morokei Mask instead of Cowl as her lungs are more made for water breathing than land breathing. (Water breathing apparatus installed inside by herself.)

    Backstory
    Kivuli was born to a female Khajiit and male Argonian. Unlike most 'hybrids' where the child takes on all the traits of the mother, Kivuli displays traits from her father as well. She is still mostly Khajiit (And lycan, thanks to her mother having been a member of the Companions' circle), but has a few horns, her father's body coloration, and the ability to breathe underwater (Although her ability to breathe on land fluctuates randomly) thanks to her Argonian side. She was born under the sign of the Shadow, so her father sent her to be trained by the Dark Brotherhood as a Shadowscale. Kivuli had a natural skill for the lifestyle of an assassin, successfully taking down targets of all kinds. Did not matter how big, strong, powerful, or even weak. If there was a contract made, she was there to fulfill it. As she rose through the ranks, she picked up the Necromancy spell and the Marked For Death shout (As one of its words IS in the old Falkreath sanctuary) Being one of the many Dragonborn, she quickly mastered the shout's individual words (After hearsay on their locations and thusly finding them, of course. Only ONE word is at that sactuary.)

    While I appreciate the creativity and effort of your CC, a Khajiiti/Argonian hybrid is majorly out of place in this setting without a pretty drastic explanation, And even then it's unlikely your character would get far before the Emperor (who has a keen interest in intellectual pursuits) took notice of you and tried to bring you in for study and experimentation. There needs to be some form of back story which justifies all of this.

    If the mother was Khajiit, that would make your character a Khajiit under normal and natural circumstances.

    Only if you can justify it through back story in a compelling way.

    Her gear is also a bit much. While she may have it pre arena, we are not yet at the stage of the RP where we get goodies like that (most of our characters are already powerhouses). If your character without all of that is an equal with the other characters, it creates a balancing nightmare. If your character is weaker and that gear is her way of maintaining relevancy, it could be more interesting. But once again, it must be justified as to why you have all of this gear, and if you decide on the former option, you will likely never see most of those items again until late into the arena cycle.

    Okay deets please on 'compelling' because I have no idea what you want from me there. This is my first foray into this kind of thing so yer kinda....loosing me here. v.v' Explain as if I were 5, please. >_<
    Write it so that it is entertaining, well thought out, believable, makes sense, justifiable, has good reasons, etc etc. Justify why to me this character has what it has in a way that I can understand and support, and accept into the RP trusting that it will be a benefit to the narrative rather feeling out of place.

    I think everyone has those moments :p

    Be warned that enchanting in general is more powerful in tis setting due to special story circumstances.

    Alrighty. Gotta scram for a bit, I'll edit soon as I can.

    Most of her enchanted stuff was found or enchanted for her. THe dagger is the only object she enchanted herself, but I'll cut down on the loot anyways.

    Eh. Try to stick to the essentials. Like if she's an assassin, stealth and archery damage. Paralysis and Soul Trap are also a no go on the weapons, the former being stupidly broken and the latter would never be returned to you after it was confiscated for story reasons.

    Like I said though, try to keep it to the essentials. She can start out with the gear if you want, just be aware that only a limited amount will be returned to you after being thrown into the arena until after we've progressed a good ways into the story.

    Yep. Also two more things: As the Listener of a Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, things are going to be very complicated for you and your character. And as for the Dragon Priest Mask, I'm afraid that's simply not allowed for starting gear. A dragon priest in this setting is much more powerful than Skyrim's gameplay depiction, and the whole Dragon War things has just barely kicked off. So even if you COULD defeat one and take its mask, ithey haven't started to resurrect yet.

    Since we're on the subject, is it plausible that the Emperor would send a hybrid to the Arena as a part of his experiments?

    Say he's studied Kivuli's character - to whatever extent you see fit - for a year or so and know wants to test combat prowess to see if this hybrid benefits from certain aspects of both races.

    Just a random thought. Let me know if it helps.

    If she's willing to confine her back story to that rather bleak and dark sort of direction, sure. :p

    That could work. Can I still have her be a part of the Dark Brotherhood, like he used them to train her in combat?

    Well, she could have trained with them up until the point where she gets caught by the Emperor. That would work.
