Blitzz
A Friendly Brit
Ever since the end of the Skyrim Civil War, High King Ulfric Stormcloak has reigned over Skyrim with an iron fist. Under his rule, the Nords of Skyrim have prospered, and the foreign races have been oppressed. None as much as the Imperials, however, who under Ulfric have suffered a great deal.
Ulfric's reign has gone utterly unchallenged thus far, at least it had, until an attempt on his life a few days ago. Three hooded men smashed through the window in Ulfric's palace during a meeting with his generals. Two lieutenants and a captain were slain, aside two assailants. The third was captured, and tortured.
Under interrogation the man revealed excruciatingly little to Ulfric and his men. After every nail pulled, every punch, every finger removed, the man would simply repeat the harrowing line, "The Fire will claim you." He was beheaded the next day, by Ulfric himself, outside the palace in Windhelm.
Two days passed before an Imperial man came before Ulfric with valuable information. He said that the man was from the elusive Cult of Fire, a revolutionary movement that wanted to overthrow Ulfric. He said that the Cult has four leaders, all answering to a single ruler. No-one knows where they are based, who they are, or how many they number. The Imperial's body was found on the banks of lake Calenhad the next day, with a fireball symbol carved into his bare, bruised chest.
The call went out from Ulfric for Skyrim's bravest and boldest to make their way to Windhelm, to be briefed by Ulfric, charged with hunting down and cutting the head off of the snake that is the Cult of Fire.

So, this idea came to me the other day and I had to follow up on it. If you've made it this far, thank you for having the patience to stick out the vague and somewhat boring opening. HOWEVER, I can guarantee that whatever impressions you have are wrong. There is far more to this story than it seems, and it's a good'un.
The players will be playing as the crew that answers Ulfric's call to hunt down the Cult. Before we get into rules, I'd like to point out that this RP is 18+. That means vivid descriptions of blood and gore, a lot of drinking, gambling, drugs, and, quite possibly, sex. So, for the rules:

1 - No godmodding. This one doesn't really need stating.
2 - No scripting of other player's characters. Unless of course it's been prearranged or the person has gone mysteriously missing during the course of the RP.
3 - Ideally I'm looking for 4-8 relatively skilled and experienced players to part-take in this story.
4 - You may have either one or two characters if you think you can cope with them. Also feel free to add NPCs that you think would benefit the story.
5 - Please follow the CC template given below.
6 - Posts must be at least one paragraph (5 sentences) and at least one a week.
7 - If you are going to be absent, please let me know a couple of days in advance if possible. If you want to leave that's perfectly fine, just write your character out in a blaze of limb-ripping glory. If temporary, then we can think up a way of keeping your character involved without killing them.
8 - I'm entirely open to suggestions. If you feel you can improve the story, I want your ideas.

It does pretty much limit our characters to Nords though, which might put some people off. I suppose heartless, soulless people of other races might turn up too
