OOC [18+] Sinister Beginnings

Sinister Beginnings​

​

It has been nearly a century after the mighty dragon Alduin, had been destroyed by the might of the vigorous and potentDragon Born. However Skyrim was still no where near peaceful yet...​

​

The war between the harsh law enforcing imperials, who were from the all-powerful land of Cyrodil, lead by their mightiest and most warmongering men of their vast crushing legions. Then the opposition of the Imperials, the rebellious indomitable Stormcloaks, led by Ulfric Stormcloak.​

​

Both sides have had equal winnings and loses up to date, but something is starting to happen... Rumours of the blood thirsty, ruthless members of the infamous Dark Brotherhood, who had believed to have died out many years ago after the amount of assassinations had gone down to an all time low are apparently once again returning to the surface of Tamriel that can only mean one thing. Sithis craves more death!​

​

It is believed that this new uprising of murderers is due to the war. Have the stormcloaks, or imperials, been calling upon these dark menacing forces of death and destruction?​

​

If so to what purpose? Only time will tell...​

​

…..............................................................​

​

In the mean time the Dark Brotherhood are recruiting for their ranks of executioners. The Dark Brotherhood had been out of activity for a long time but after all those decades, the hunger for death is higher than ever before meaning for the residents of Tamriel there is no escape of death this time...​

​

Who will the Dark Brotherhood join in this deadly waging war? Or are they planning something else? Maybe something more deadly? No one knows until its too late...​

This is my new role-play which I will be sticking at. I'd like experienced role players for this role-play if possible. Please post your character card and ill review it, please inbox me if you have any questions/queries and ill answer them as best as I can. I will review your card and let you know if you are accepted. Please state what role you'd want to have in the Dark Brotherhood, such as silencer, speaker etc. There will be no Listener but there will be a Night Mother.

For the card have appearance, weapons, small back story, name, age etc. But NO detail about personality as I love character development in role-plays so keep personality at a complete minimum.

​

Thanks LX

Name: Shadow, or Shadow Blade (not her real name of course)​

Sex: Female​

Age: 20​

Race: Nord​

Relationships: Likes the company of men and sometimes women.​

Affiliations: freelance assassin​

Appearance: Medium height and slim build with ample bust. Blonde, longish hair with light blue, piercing eyes. Looks sweet and innocent but is anything but. Heavy kohl makeup around eyes. Full lips. She uses her looks as a weapon as well. Has a stylized push blade insignia brand on her right shoulder blade.

brand on right shoulder blade. (yes I know it’s an upside-down Klingon insignia)

Dress: Usually dresses like a local to blend in, but will wear brown leather catsuit for night time, or stealth jobs. Also owns a long hooded cloak for chilly nights.

(imagine those weapon thingies to be ebony daggers)

Weapons: a small, compact crossbow, but will also use her twin ebony daggers she calls “The Girls” (poisoned if needed). Also has three matching ebony push blades. One in her boot, one in a hidden sheath on her back, and the other hidden in her catsuit between her breasts (obviously that one is a little thinner).

The girls. Ebony Daggers

lightweight crossbow

Ebony push blade (not the sheaths)

Tactics: Prefers to hide in the shadows and attack from a ranged position. But will use any means to get close to a target. Sometimes she will make herself known to the target in order to get the job done (eg: ingraining herself into their life) but she doesn’t do that often as it is very risky. If the target is a male and a rapist or an abuser, she will torture him before she ends his life.

Bio: Against her parents’ wishes, Shadow left her small village to seek out her own living when she was old enough. She found survival on one’s own to be harder than she expected and spent many lonely, cold nights in the wilds, and back alleys of Skyrim’s cities. One night she disturbed a man climbing out of a window, and he almost killed her. She begged for mercy and the man took her back to his hideout, which belonged to a group of bandits and killers. Again Shadow had to plead for her life when the leader was more inclined to let his men have their way with her and then kill her.

After she had seriously injured one of his men and killed another, who were trying to rape her, he decided to spare her life (he was going to do so anyway, just wanted her to think she owed him a favour) in exchange for her servitude in his group. She was trained in the ways of stealth, manipulation and seduction. She also learned how to use weapons befitting an assassin. She acquired two ebony daggers and a small, lightweight crossbow which became her favourite weapon. Shadow’s first assignment went off without a hitch and she soon became a valued member. She was named Shadow by the group during her initiation ceremony and branded with their insignia.

Shadow spent a couple of years working for the group, becoming well known for her devious ways in acquiring a target. She would stop at nothing to complete her assignment, even if it meant using seduction. One night, on a job, she made a mistake and accidentally killed a boy who had stumbled upon her, in the act of killing his father. The pursuit from the authorities was relentless and Shadow had to go deep underground until she felt it reasonably safe to make her way back to the hideout. When she returned she discovered most of the group either dead or long gone. She began to take freelance jobs, earning enough money to keep her reasonably well, but she wants more and also to find a place to come home to.

Personality: without giving away too much
Good- friendly to those she trusts, and very loyal. Strong willed and won’t give up on anything, or anyone.

Bad –Can sometimes be consumed by a dark mood and prefers to be alone when this happens.

And that's basically it, I will develop her character in the RP and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. If I am accepted I would like to RP in this colour please.

[Writes-Many-Posts]

Name: Merweiss (Read Mer-vice)
Nicknames: Many call him Old Man, causing him to treat such nickname as his own surname.
Race: Imperial
Fame: Unknown
Alignment: Below Neutral

Gender: Male
Class: Assassin
Faction: Dark Brotherhood

Looks: Merweiss looks as ancient as everyone calls him, if not more. His skin has countless wrinkles and his long hair has greyed long ago. Despite his husky voice and many complaints about his back aching, he walks straightened up and is muscled in his legs, allowing him to outrun many. His eyes are blue and seemingly souless, giving him a dead look if he stands still. Merweiss lacks one of his ears from a torture by the Penitus Oculatus, and therefor, he can hear from the other one very well.
Age: Above 60
Marital Status: "I'm too old for that nonsense!" (Single)
Current Residence: Sleeps in the Sanctuary, but might sleep in his targets' houses after he kills them
Religion: Sithis

War: Neutral, also too old for such nonsense
Diseases: Merweiss is a misanthrope and has his left arm nearly useless thanks to his weak bones. Also, his right ear is gone.

Skills:

• Sneak (Master)
• One-Handed (Expert)
• Pickpocket (Adept)
• Speech (Adept)

Personality: Grumpy, Lonely and Loyal are his main traits. He is also mature and wise, although very antissocial and unfair in judgement towards the youth. (More will be revealled)

Equipment:

• A meathook as primary weapon, chosen because of the ease it has rendering flesh
• A long dark blue jacket with a golden button in each sleeve and three more to close and open it
• A long cane, made of ebony. He uses it mainly to fake how harmless he is to his victims, but it rarely leaves his left hand
• A white shirt behind the coat, offering protection mainly from dust
• Traditional boots of the Dark Brotherhood. Lacking the red leather in the front after many years of work, they look very similar to common boots
• Blue trousers, with stitches on the knees
• A golden pipe, through which he made a habit of smoking after he kills. Despite enjoying it, he knows it harms him and wants to quit

Spells: N/A
Powers: N/A

Combat Style: Merweiss surprises many by being quite flexible and capable of killing with no remorse. Still, he gets tired easily and avoids combat as much as possible when he needs to kill someone.

Health: Low
Magicka: Low
Stamina: High

Likes: Smoking, Silence, Being alone, Wisdom, Respect
Dislikes: Youngsters, Music, Other noise, Revolutionaires
Acquaintances: Everyone in the Dark Brotherhood

Bio: Merweiss was't always old. But he was always grumpy and misanthropic. Unfortunately for everyone, he never has anything to tell about his past to be uncommon, and claims he merely seeked his fortune. Once working on his own as a thief and a hired killer, Merweiss killed a man that the Brotherhood had been contacted to take care of as well. After being persecuted for a while and surviving many attempts, he was invited to work for the Brotherhood. It had been a while since he thought everyone was dead when he was told they were once again satisfying Sithis' demand for blood by a letter.
Misc:

• Merweiss criticizes his payment even though he isn't greedy, possibly just to complain about something
• Merweiss is right handed
• His meathook has a tip similar to a harpoon
• Merweiss sleeps with his eyes open very often, which tricks many into thinking he is dead.

Enemy Factions: Penitus Oculatus

Most hated foes: Unwise Youngsters
Weakness: Age slowly takes its toll on him
Strength: Nobody expects him to be so talented at first

Description: Guard Report about a victim found at the docks
The killed man was a fisherman in his early 30s. The time of his death had to be during the night, before he could go home. The weapon used was a hook, either to hang flesh or catch whales and large fish. The blade went through his stomach, then pulled up all the way to his neck. Afterwards, the killer pulled the dying man by the hooked neck and hit him in the head with his knee. Whoever did it must be linked to the two other murders in the last weeks committed with the same weapon...

Omg Legend of the seeker in your CC

I'll try get a CC up soon May I have two characters or just one?

 

[Lifts-Her-Tail]

Ok and if you can manage two then that's fine

 

[Daryl Dixon]

Thank you. I still might only have one, but thanks

 

[Lifts-Her-Tail]

Ok whatever's easiest for you

 

[Daryl Dixon]

So are you going for mostly assassin characters?

 

[Lifts-Her-Tail]

Yes

 

[Daryl Dixon]

I'm going to go with two but one dies super early Like probably before the RP properly starts, so I wont bother with a CC unless you really want one. (I mean for that particular character)

 

[Lifts-Her-Tail]

Aha ok and no need for a cc if they die super early

 

[Lifts-Her-Tail]

Writes-Many-Posts shadowkitty what position would you like in the db? You are both accepted by the way

 

[Lady Redpool the Unlifer]

Name: Thaek(pronounced like "take")
Age: 44
Race: Orc
Gender: Male

Appearance: Appears more human than most orcs, having very Nord-like features. The exceptions being the green skin, decidedly elvenish ears and the short, smooth haired beard that no human man seems capable of matching. He also has a half-circle scar wrapping around the outside of his left eye.

Equipment: An Orcish mace of soul trapping(The only weapon he ever made), a set of adept illusionist's robes, dark brotherhood boots and gloves(found in an old assassin's home)

Bio: Thaek's parents likely didn't know how fitting his name would be when they gave it to him. Being called weak blooded and and man-like by other young orcs due to his appearance he drifted away from the normal orcish ways and found his true talent, remaining undetected and taking whatever he wanted. He revels in theft and was a freelance thief for many years, even doing a brief stint with the guild before he began stealing the ultimate prize: lives and souls. Leaving the guild due to their policy against killing, he has roamed the world seeking foes worthy of his collection. Recently, rumors of the dark brotherhood's return has caught his attention and he seeks them out to start the next chapter of his life of death.

 

[Lifts-Her-Tail]

Great card RedNek! What position In the db would you like?

 

[Lady Redpool the Unlifer]

Well, I'm kinda roleplaying that he hasn't found it yet, so maybe initiate and then build up to torturer?

 

[Daryl Dixon]

When I join could I build up to Silencer? I have Valerica in the DB as speaker & she brings Delsin in but she dies soon. Is that okay? haha

 

[Daryl Dixon]

NAME: Delsin Rahl

RACE: Nord

Sex: Male

Age: 23

Affiliations: The bards college, Himself, Abbie.

Appearance: Picture will be provided

Height: 6'3

Clothing: Delsin sticks to dark clothing, with leather armour usually being his primary armour.

Weapons: A custom bow, made from ebony but finely molded to be a very thin and light weapon. When it comes to arrows he uses whatever he can get his hands on, mostly steel. He also dons an ebony blade,for when things get up close and personal.

Bio: Delsin was born in a remote village somewhere in Skyrim, his parents dying while Delsin was still very young. Delsin had an older brother to look after him, and Delsin would constantly get into trouble with the guards and as Delsins brother was a guard himself this was embarrassing. Delsin left for Solitude and there he joined the bards college where he learned to sing, however his style was faster and what they called 'vulgar.'

After leaving Solitude, due to not being in favour of the law, he headed off and traveled the road. Delsin doesn't like that people no better or smarter than him get to choose how he lives, he disobeys wherever he can. He survived without a home for quite some time before he came across a woman who paid him to do as she commanded, and the more morally challenging or just plain difficult they were the higher the pay. Everyone has their price. It started out as just an escort, now he's her full fledged body guard.

He traveled with her, staying with her in various homes and even getting intimate, however she cares little for him. She seduces and manipulates him into staying around. She teaches him magical abilities to help better himself, or more like improve her own tools, him being the tool. But Valerica was part of something bigger, she was apart of The Dark Brotherhood. She brought him in and he was her silencer, it was official now, but she still took advantage of him and he didn't care.

He is his own person but room for growth is limited with her around, however without her poison sucking the life from him he can be a funny and charismatic guy, who just doesn't like the law. In the days to come he will mature into the man he needs to be.


Left personality out.


Can I have black?

 

[AS88]

Daryl haven't you been encouraged not to use characters from other series in Skyrim RPs? And black is a terrible colour choice on a dark grey background.
