    Piercings: N/A

    Personality

    Description: He is very quiet and reserved most of the time. Due to his lack of communication most of the time, along with his physique, he tends to be a rather intimidating man. He tends to use this to his advantage while doing his duty for Ash. He carries very strong ideals when it comes to honor and loyalty, and feels that he owes his life to Ash because of this, only proving his ideals. He also has a very strong belief in justice, whether it means in vengeance or otherwise. However, no matter what his beliefs, he finds most forms of Authority to be corrupt and incorrect in their ways. Many of his ideals even fall against their laws, making him a sort of outlaw in some places.
    Temper: High – He has never been one to react strongly in any situation, good or bad. And he has yet to find a situation where he has.
    Outlook: Good
    Honor: Outstanding
    Alignment: Chaotic Good
    Good: Honorable, Loyal, Level Headed, Calm, Strong, Protective
    Bad: Intimidating, intense, Stubborn
    Likes: Animals, Nature, Darkness, The Moon
    Dislikes: Arrogance, Bickering, Money, Power
    Fears: Death while Warging, Loosing Valor
    Habits: Playing with his magicka, Playing/Sharpening his Blades, Goofing off with Valor
    Goals: To serve Ash until he falls

    Gear and Fighting Style
    28190-1-1355285109.png


    Head: Black tattered travel cloak with a hood
    Chest: Azure and Ebony Mage Armor/Dual Sword sheathes on back
    Arms: Stained Black Leather Talon Mount on his left forearm
    Waist: Simple Leather Belt
    Legs: Ebony Chainmail
    Feet: Stained Black Leather boots
    Every Day Carry: He carries a simple Waterskin, and a small bag in which he keeps items from food or books in.
    Weapons: He carries two matching Katana like, black blades with him at all times.
    Magicka: He is a master when it comes to Destruction magicka, though he prefers flame, he is skilled in Ice and Lighting as well. He has some skill in Alteration, but only enough to strengthen his armor and to absorb spells
    Fighting Abilities: He is extremely skilled with dual swords, but is also skilled with pure magicka. He does like to use his sword and magicka in tandem when he deems it necessary, but most situations don’t.
    Fighting Style: He tends to throw himself right into the close combat, trying to quickly weaken his opponents. However, he can be useful at a mid-range using his destruction.
    Miscellaneous: Due to his Skinchanging/Warging abilities, he has always found it rather easy to befriend animals. His best friend is a Vardenfell Blue Eagle called Valor (looks like a Chilean Blue Eagle) . They have been friends since the bird’s birth. Do not mistake Valor’s loyalty to Lupos as being trained, however. He is still a wild animal, who has all the urges as one, but views Lupos as a brother of sorts, and stays with him at all times.

    Ill post oictures of his swords and his companion Valor in a second.

    Unfortunately no. It would be different if time wasn't such an issue already, but I think that the number of members we have now is perfect to keep things flowing, withiut kinks and time constraints. Thanks for the consideration though!

    Chest, Legs: Elven set
    Hands, feet : Glass gauntlets and boots with a small Daggerfall insignia on them (scars, backstory)

    He is a good fighter, usually dodging, parrying, or blocking attacks. He looks for weak points in his opponents armor and exploits them. His preferred school is alteration, he uses it for added protection, utility, and if needed paralysis. Alteration can also have additional uses, for example he can change direction of incoming arrows so they miss, grab his weapon if his opponent disarms him, etc. He knows restoration and uses it to heal himself and others, and in case of magical attacks for wards. As for destruction, he knows the basic elemental spells (apprentice level), and more complex lightning ones, he uses them either to attack before he gets in melee range, or as a split second attack when he needs leverage (attacked by 2 opponents, enemy is very quick etc.). Additional skills: Knows how to repair weapons and armor (but don’t expect miracles), Knows how to make 2 potions (cure disease and cure poison/ check fear).

    Dialogue color
    Backstory: He was born in Wayrest, where his father (a minor noble) served as the court wizard.
    Life in the wealthy merchant port was easy, he had friends, and most of his family worked at the court, with the exception of his grandmother who managed their own little property.
    He started learning magic at a very young age, with the guidence of his father and altmer grandfather.
    The great war came knocking when he was seven, his father fought with in the legion for the last two years of it, and it was he who captured Lord Naarifin, the Thalmor general during the battle of the red ring, he was rewarded with a new job, since the court wizard of Daggerfall didn't survive the war, and was given a helmet for capturing him alive (for interrogation, trial and public execution).
    He was 9 when his father returned, and they moved to Daggerfall.
    He took an interest in swordfighting. His father didn't like it, but mom and grandpa convinced him that it would be good for the boy to learn to defend himself. His father agreed to it, but didn't teach him himself. This time his grandfather had more work to do, and taught him how to use a sword and shield, as well as how, and when to cast spells in combat. His grandfather was a mage, but he knew a lot about fencing, having fought vs pirates from Hammerfell, he combined their style with his own Altmer one. His mother who was an alchemyst focused on teaching him about restoration and a bit of alchemy (the 2 potions that he mastered making).
    The war changed his father, made him a pacifist. He taught him about trade and mathematics, laws, lore and history.
    When he turned 17 he wanted to, as all Bretons do, prove himself, and go adventure or get a job that uses his skill. The timing was perfect, as the Kings personal bodyguard had retired from service a couple of months earlier, leaving the possition open. The king of Daggerfall agreed for a 5 year contract. The job was tedious but not difficult. He mostly delt with petty assassins, and traveled with the king. He used his free time for lessons with the castle blacksmith, and sparing with the commander of the city guard. He visited Morrowind, Cyrodil, and even Alinor. The only serious assassination attempt was in Morrowind. A Morag Tong assassin ambushed them, he hit him hand with a blade, and nearly cut his finger off, when he finally managed to throw the assassin on the ground, he took his dagger and stabbed Robert in the foor twice, trying to cut his ligaments.
    When they returned the king gave him two peaces of armor from his own blacksmith. Robert chose glass gauntlets and boots, he never before realized how elven armor is weak at two crucial spots that can decied if you live to fight another day.

    After the 5 years expired, his Grandfather, trough some connections, offerd him a chance of guarding Neloth Telvanni.
    The 5 years of guarding Neloth were interesting, to say the least. He moved to Morrowind, and unlike the king, Neloth usually didn't want to be escorted, but had Robert do work for him, help him in research, check up on his apprentice, look for some staves... etc. It was much more exsciting. Working for Neloth was a great learning opportunity, but he didn't pay as well as the king...
    When he returned to Daggerfall, he saw his partents, they told him his grandmother had been killed by a vampire from Skyrim, and that grandpa moved back to manage the property.

    He traveled to Skyrim, had some adventures, and recently he heard about the urgents of Stendarr, and wants to join them.

    End.

    Skyrim quests completed:
    Neloth misc quests, The Book of love, Bandit and Giant killing bounties, Misc CoW quests, part 3 of Arniel's Endeavor.

    Okay everybody, good news! I am planning on booting this RP back up to full throttle in the next couple of days. A friend of mine has returned to the forums, and may want to apply, so if she does and when she does, I will fill you in on my Casting Decisions!! I would appreciate it if you would all post here with the name of your character, and desired dialogue color just so I know that you are all still interested. Thanks for all of the patience, and I promise, It shouldn't happen again... (no promises with my luck in the field of technology and busyness!)

    For checking in, just something as simple as this will be just fine: Ashetari the Preistess and Lupos her Squire

    Here he is! Took a little longer than I had anticipated, but he's here.

    I apologize for the bare backstory in advance. But I just cannot stand to give too much away. I hope that will not be an issue, but I can correct it if necessary. I'm nothing if not flexible.

    Personality

    Description: He is seemingly good humored, able to get along with most others. Sometimes he can be too focused on humor, but never when he is on the job. When it's time to work, he becomes almost another person. Quiet, observant. His eyes always searching for his target, prey, or opponent. His focus is unshakable, unless things become too much to bear, then he begin's to become worried, to the point where he becomes protective of those around him, worried that history will repeat itself.

    At night, he becomes quiet, aloof. When in a safe place, he hides away until morning, and will act as if nothing happened. If questioned, he will ignore or deny it ever happened, usually followed by a humorous quip.

    Temper: Medium/Short -He is calm and collected in most spots, but if he believes someone is in danger, he will become pushy, rude, or at his worst, violent. Whatever it takes to keep them alive. If someone is being reckless, he will snap a little quicker.

    Alignment: Neutral Good to Chaotic good.
    Good: Friendly, Loyal, Observant, Intelligent, Strategic, Caring, Good-Humored
    Bad: Sarcastic, Stubborn, Can become over-protective, can become violent if pushed.

    Dislikes: Disregard for safety, Arrogance, Foolishness on the battlefield.
    Fears: Being surrounded, losing friends in battle, Death.

    Goals: Atone for his failures, Make himself worthy of the title Urgent.

    Gear & Fighting Style

    Head: N/A
    Chest: Black jacket with fur-lined collar, harnessed around the stained brown leather shoulders and a similarly colored Leather chest plate
    Arms: Leather bracers with small steel ornamentation
    Waist: Leather based belt, is capable of holding small items of importance.
    Legs: Black pants, comfortable to climb in
    Feet: Brown Leather Boots, same ornamentation as on boots.
    Every Day Carry: His bow and quiver, a shortsword (family heirloom) A novel, the title varying. He reads through them rather swiftly. Other than his gear, only a small drawn picure of a group of people, which he is included in. Believed to be his old group.
    Weapons: He carries two weapons, A sighted, nordic steel laden bow, engraved with the symbol of Stendarr's horn on it's riser (grip). It is sighted, so he may be more accurate. It is not as advanced as sights are now, but it is rather good for it's time. He also carries a his father's shortsword, which looks to be of a simple steel.
    Magicka: He is quite skilled in between Destruction and Alteration, as both have ways of incapacitating your foe for the best possible shot. He has some training in restoration, but is not particularly skilled with it. Runes are his main focus, but relies on paralyze when things get tricky.
    Fighting Abilities: He uses runes as a preemptive strike against his foes, but in combat prefers to use bow. He is capable of incapacitating the enemy, holding them off as best he can so that he can keep them away from his friends, in range of his shot.
    Fighting Style: He stays back, getting up close only to set up traps and such. He will provide ranged support, but can fight up close, but he lacks the finesse that is required to stay up there. He is most comfortable in a vantage point, such as a tree or hill. However, he can remain on the ground, should the option not be available.

    Here is an image of a sighted bow like his, just for reference. It it not designed exactly like this, however, as it is more lore friendly for my purposes.

    36970-4-1390415625.jpg


    Backstory:

    Falco Vandacia had known the ways of the Vigil since he was young. His parents both being a part of it's fabric. He grew revering their ways and practices, hoping that one day, he would be able to take up with them and scour the land like they did, cleansing it of the darkness that plagued it so often.

    As he grew, he took up the bow, wanting to help from afar, as his skill with up close combat was abysmal. He took the bow, as it seemed his only shot at taking down the darkness.

    Don't all tragic stories start like this, though?

    At the age of 19, his parents were ripped apart by what was explained to be undead. No more detail was given. He had to just take it and move on. Upset by this explanation, which was only to keep him from feeling more upset than he was, he left his love of the Vigil behind, taking what skills he knew and selling them. During this time, he picked up some magicks, especially destruction and alteration, learning to find creative ways to incapacitate those he hunted.

    AS time went on, he became a part of a group of mercenaries that he became friends with at the tavern they often waited at, creating a group that he believed to be unstoppable. And for the most part they were.

    Except for their only failure, which would be their last contract.

    They were hired to protect a walled city, it's exact location lost to history. There seemed to be a necromancer of sorts, bringing undead down to to the city to scare the townspeople.

    Their presence only seemed to make matters worse.

    After only an hour of being there, one saw a large force rushing down the hill from the east. When he saw what the force was, his blood had stopped cold.

    This was an army of the dead.

    Details are foggy at best, of what happened in that city. The only details that were known for sure?

    1. The group had failed. They were no match for the undead swarm.

    2. The undead laid waste to the city, leaving no survivors amongst the townspeople.

    3. The group had been slaughtered, one by one, all except for Falco. He survived the night, only because one of the men locked him in a room too keep him safe, and held the dead off the door as long as he could.

    Falco was the only one to walk out of the city that morning, still in shock but also feeling something else.

    A deep rooted anger, toward the undead, and dark forces that took away everything he ever loved. He longed for something he could do to return the favor. Something to eradicate this fiends before someone else fell to the same fate.

    He then turned back to his roots.

    He returned to the Vigil.

    Alright Ya'll, so far we have these Check In's and Dialogue Colors, that I will be picking from as soon as HLif gets her CC up. (NOTE: If you have not checked in by the time Hlif posts her CC, I will not be considering your CC as a choice, as I want this up and running fast.)

    Ashetari by Specter
    Lupos by Specter
    Luther Blackwell by Valin
    Skov by Farth
    Keresa by Toxius
    Sera by Hlif (not complete just yet)
    Falco by Cap (unsure about dialogue color...)

    Now, one more thing that I need to bring up, that I should've mentioned a bit sooner (but i'm a bit of a dork so...), is which roles that you guys are specifically applying for. I wanted to organize this as much as possible without limiting your creative freedom, so I only specified that I need a Ranger/Area Guide for Ashetari's missions, as well as 2-3 mercenaries. NOW, if you could all just tell me which exactly you would be falling under, that would be great (I think that I already have few ideas of which, but better safe than sorry!).

    And as soon as my decision is made, We are going to get deep into some story discussion, in order to see exactly how our team will interact and work together in battle. This may take some tweaks here or there, but I feel like it will all work out. Stay alert, you never know when Hlif will post hers!!
