EpicVakarian
Calibration-Master General
Skyrim is undergoing a strange time.
The Dragonborn has defeated his nemesis, Alduin,
utilizing the dragon menace to also bring peace between the two warring factions,
the Empire and the Stormcloaks.
But this peace is fragile.
Ulfric Stormcloak received Falkreath in the peace negotiations at High Hrothgar,
now controlling five of the nine hold capitals.
But for him, this was not enough.
He wanted the Empire out of Skyrim for good,
but for now, he had no feasible options.
Meanwhile, in Ivarstead, an eccentric inventor called Robbart Grimm is working on a new device.
The device, which utilizes an unheard-of form of magic,
fertilizes soil and accelerates plant growth.
Robbart realized this creation could revolutionize life in Skyrim,
especially in the north, where food was scarce due to the snow and ice.
So he took his device to the Jarl of Riften,
Jarl Laila Law-Giver. She examined his device,
and upon discovering it to be effective,
she sent Robbart and his device, guarded by an escort,
to Windhelm, to present it to Ulfric Stormcloak.
Ulfric seized the invention gladly, thanking Robbart heavily and sending him on his way.
Robbart went back home after having instructed Jorleif, the steward,
how to use the device effectively.
And Ulfric immediately utilized the device's strengths,
transforming the weak, frozen farms outside Windhelm's walls
into blooming crop fields, just as bountiful as the ones outside Whiterun, if not more so.
However, shortly after the device had begun its work,
strange cases of sickness began to appear among the farmers,
all of whom eventually died, leaving their farms to their children and wives.
It was discovered that the cause of death was a form of poison, and that
the device was causing the sickness.
At first, Ulfric intended to call back Robbart and execute him for his device's failings,
but then he realized how this effect could be utilized. He marched his troops to Whiterun,
taking the device with them, and firing its magic at the Jarl's hall, Dragonsreach. The noble Jarl and his servants fell like flies, allowing Ulfric to march through the gates unharmed and place Vignar Gray-Mane as a Stormcloak Jarl, therefore taking Whiterun hold with little resistance.
This continued, with the Stormcloaks marching on each capital in turn, using the fear sowed in rumours of the device to rule their new lands, until eventually they took Solitude,
and removed the Empire entirely, as was Ulfric's intent.
And now the land is ruled with an iron fist,
no-one allowed to speak up against Ulfric's "rightful" rule
without losing their head shortly afterwards.
Robbart Grimm, hearing of the chaos his device had sown,
immediately lost his stable mindset. He was driven partially insane by the horrors caused,
by his own invention. Now he is recruiting a band of like-minded individuals,
who are willing to hunt down this device and destroy it, thus catalysing the end
of the terror that Ulfric now reigns over.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It might not be the best introduction out there, but it gives you the idea. Grimm wants to destroy the device he created so that he no longer has the burden on his mind that he caused this horror.
Your characters will each be following and defending Grimm to try and track down the device so that Grimm can destroy it.
Rules
- Respect each other. If you cause arguments due to your lack of said respect, you will be gone.
- This is an 18+ RP. As always, that does not mean you have to be 18+ to apply; it just means that if you can't handle adult themes, language and violence, don't bother applying.
- Obviously, no over-powered characters; for instance, if you apply with a demon king spawned by Mehrunes Dagon himself, you're not getting in. But seriously, no-one enjoys roleplaying with characters like that.
- I will welcome any unusual character designs; for instance, I have roleplayed alongside a schizophrenic character before - these sorts of quirks are absolutely fine, but don't include them if you can't handle them.
- As always, just follow the generic RP rules, that you should all know by now.
