    Victor limped slowly forward towards the crest. It was his only chance, before the Nightblade stole it. Would he make it? As his fingers reached out, his knee made a groaning, popping noise—the Nightblade turned. Victor cursed inwardly. It was over.
    In the squat, dull room, the outside seemed to be normal compared to the rest of the city. If this scene had been displayed in the open, guards would flow down the streets of this city, slaughtering all sides. The only thing abnormal within the second to a small amount of varied people (who heard) was…
    The boom.
    A sharp crack seemed to emit from the building. What the people who noticed this noise didn’t realize, is that a man inside was… missing his head.

    ________________________________________
    Welcome to the beginning roleplay OOC of the based Gears of Crest! This storyline takes place one hundred years after the current events occurring in Skyrim, meaning advances in technology and new landscapes. Since the base takes place in a city that it most likely not familiar to you, because it is a bit more than a fantasy, with slight steampunk-based functions, this may not be your ideal roleplay. If you do not approve of this, please leave and find a new roleplay. If this is confusing, interesting, or seemingly good, continue.
    In the story, you are allowed to make up special types of weaponry invented by your type of person. Each person must be a known inventor; meaning this is also known as the age of Ventio, or the age of Inventions. The advanced character card includes the factors listed in light gray at the top, as well as this [just putting all of it]:

    Relations to RP:
    - Inventions:
    - Rich or Poor because of...:
    -Popularity:
    - Inventor Status {struggling, working on it, flourishing, making something new}:
    -family and relations (a nice big tree please):
    This may be a bit too detailed, but it shows after you post you card how sophisticated of a writer you are. For example, if you make a character who invented the "Laser gun", that could be considered godmodding and is not accepted. Think about... the 3 shot crossbow, or the gas-lighter (basically a flamethrower, lighter though). Your character can kill other inventors for their ideas, they cannot be other roleplayer though. It is permitted for people to meet within the thread, meaning that you are careful enough to not change their scenario. Keep it all sophisticated and "beautiful", so this can be enjoyed. Readers should want to take sides of inventors.

    What your character should have is the ability to be ambitious to become one of the richest men in the city they live in. The lord of the city has no real power, investing his time in war against a deadly plague ravaging the lands all around. There is a wall surrounding the entire city, and weekly, people must wear mask to keep the disease from spreading. What the lord wants is to invent a machine or weapon that can help the effort of the war.
    NOTE: GUNS HAVE NOT [and will not] BEEN INVENTED, BUT GUNPOWDER HAS--GRENADES OR BOMBS OF ANY SORT HAVE NOT BEEN INVENTED EITHER. THE WAR IS FOUGHT WITH MEN WITH SWORDS.
    No one really seems to know what the plague does to people. They know it must alter the races, because Argonian mercenaries and Nord barbarians are hired to go to war all the time. Some say they go mad and kill anything in their way. Other say a demon is controlling them all. Few say the humans are forced to go cannibalistic because of the disease driving them mad and killing the crops. It is up to you to choose what is happening.

    You are allowed to be treacherous, meaning killing other inventors in cold blood just to get the money and fame reward of giving the lord of the city weapons for his army. Just to get supplies, you must leave the city (a dangerous trek) and go to different lands. Many have ventured out, few have returned. Only one man returned (that was not driven man): an old fellow named Ian Victor, widely known inventor.
    A part of the city is called the Yard. Also known as the Junkyard, it is where people get most of their supplies; searching in their. The common folk who work daily get food and etc. from the landowners and the lord.
    Rules:
    1. No cussing without * at the vowels and obvious letters
    2. At least 3-4 paragraphs per detailed post
    3. Be mature
    4. If using magic, make it light magic, no heavy lightening spells
    5. No Godmodding, no invincible, no bad grammer
    6. No AMAZING inventions on the first post
    7. regular rules for roleplaying
    8. Colored text for your character is required.

    The inventor is dead,
    the one who ventured,
    they know what he said,
    where hell is centered,
    he said "Do not leave",
    for you will see,
    who you wish you did not,
    death within the trees"
    no one knew what he meant,
    they thought it as queer,
    he slowly became bent,
    but had no fear,
    all heeded his warning,
    but not the desperate,
    he would have called them fools,
    they would die a death
    that old burder,
    he was missing his head,
    Ian was murdered,
    Victor is dead

    Death apon the city,
    Lord is not here,
    the olde Nightblade is bidding,
    a shadow of dark and fear,
    when will he strike again,
    searching for another,
    when will that be then,
    will he even bother?
    oh, ye, yes he will,
    he will commit his fill,
    for he has invented something,
    and oh, it will give you the chill
    inventors beware,
    alone in the glade,
    death is the fare,

    You play with your tools and play them for fools
    Is it all just a game?

    Tinker Tinker,
    He'll come to you
    He will cut you to pieces

    If you see the Bird up high
    Surely you are marked to die
    Laughing laughing in the night
    . His limping gain is not a pleasant sight
    If he finds you, you will see.
    What he thinks it means for you to be free...
    Barging in like a bull
    Hiding is your only tool
    To escape the barging fate
    You can hear him at the gate
    Muscles bulging becoming swollen
    You can't breathe around the Golem
    If he hears you are dead
    slowly coming to crush your head
    metal made one eye
    flesh for the other
    the Golem should be damned
    warriors cannot bother
    By light of moon, the shadows doom the Tinker's hand to failure
    The glint of steel, the hand that wields the Nightblade's vengeance tailored
    Within the night, immune to blight, the Golem paints the wall
    Alone at last, the Tinker's past has caused his own downfall

    I look forward to more people posting, but here is an example of a name for my character.

    Clemence "The Golem" Gerrick.

    More history and setting.

    The city is called Ivory's Helm, also known as the Watched County. It has been there for 70 years, and people still remember the old dark ages before the city. Their neighbors would emerge, frothing from the mouth, and kill themselves. It is located near the city of Windhelm. Since Windhelm was shut out because of the plague taking almost everyone, life was harder. Meanwhile, counties and ton battle among each other. People in realms band together to form cult to gather needed resources.

    Yes, that's probably it. I originally did not intend it to be related to Dishonored, but I suppose it is quite close.

    Champion of Grottos and Gremlins
    Name: Ghavor Lage
    Age: Almost 37
    Birth Date: 12th Sun's Dawn 4E 266
    Height: Slightly above 5 feet, or slightly below 1 meter and a half
    Race: Nord

    Appearance: Ghavor has always been picked on due to his looks. For a nord he has been depressingly short all his life, and his dark hair is unwashed in such a way that little to no beauty can be seen in it. His left eye has been covered by a cloth patch ever since it was pierced by a snake's venomous bite. Across his lips, Ghavor has two paralel scars, cuts made by a spinning blade he over oiled while testing. One of those wounds almost reaches his curvy nose, one of the few locations in his face that has not yet met the wrinkled demise of most of his skin. The eye he still relies on is toxic green, a window from which a person can see either a genius or a madman, below the hiperactive dark brow that waves at the slightest breeze or intrigue.

    Birth Sign: The Lover, ironic, isn't it?
    Occupation: Inventor, even though he has been unactive for a while.
    Wealth Status: Ghavor squirms in poverty, owning his decent house thanks to the effort of his ancestors

    Appearance:
    Hair: Black
    Eye colour: Green
    Skin Colour: Pale
    Build: Skinny and Short
    Attire: After the accident with the snake, there comes no day of creation without having Ghavor putting on his golden safety goggles, always kept in the right pocket of his brown leather jacket, along with a quil, a small piece of paper and an ink bottle, in case of sudden brilliance. The same applies to his hands. With so many bites and cuts in his fingers, Ghavor got himself an iron set of gauntlets for safety when working. His trousers are usually ragged or unwashed, because he seldom needs his legs for any use other than walking to the junkyard, and the same applies to his feet, only protected by poor rubber worker boots.

    Personality: It is hard to talk to Ghavor for ten minutes in a row, and it is probably unbearable to be with him 24 hours. He lacks trust in anyone, especially women since he has been mocked and turned down by them since an early age. Ghavor turns his mind to war to pass the time, which leads to the wrong impression of him being sadistic. He, in fact is nearing insanity fairly often, but he doesn't inflict pain to others for his own pleasure, but rather because it is the only thing he feels capable of doing to them, as they did nothing else to him as well. The fact that he doesn't speak with anyone also raises the incorrect suspicions of him being introverted. Ghavor has no problem with talking about his thoughts or feelings, but he lacks the patience to stare at the same person long enough to get to know them.

    Positive Traits: Intelligent, Complex, Hard to trick

    Negative Traits: Mean, Stubborn, Misunderstood, Self Isolating, Easily Angerable

    Likes: Creativity, Animals, the poisonous ones, Light and Electricity, Weapons

    Dislikes: The Plague, People, Most other inventors, Failure
    Aspiration/Goals/Ambitions: To become the best inventor in his city, becoming promoted and funded by the city's lord

    Combat: Ghavor relies heavily in the cheap tricks his creations allow him to perform. Usually, he carries a poisoned dagger that can wear out a foe quickly after the first cut through a vein. He can't handle a crossbow remarkably well, or even close to that, but he is still able to shoot down a foe without too much trouble. Ghavor is also known for fanatically trapping locations where he stays in for quite a while, including his house. Whether with bear traps, noxious clouds or old-fashioned trap doors, any intruder is punished.
    Skills (notable): Ghavor knows a few things about mechanics, and specializes in the use of light for creations. Being the aim usually blinding the foe, it can also be meant to burn a rope to trigger another effect, or disorient the enemy's mount to make him fall. Sometimes he also works with strings and rarely with magnets, all for the same purpose: neutralizing.
    Weapons: A poisoned dagger, small enough to fit in a troll's paw. Its poison varies from spider's to frog's, and used to also be snake's sometimes, until Ghavor lost an eye and got rid of all those specimens in his house.
    Description of Fighting style: Ghavor knows if an enemy is stronger than him on sight, and won't get tangled in fights he cannot win that easily. Even though he rarely needs to fight, he always carries the poisoned dagger as his signature, and uses the unexpected noxious advantage as much as he can during combat. If given the chance to use any source of heat or light to defeat the enemies, he will not hesitate in doing so immediatly.

    Backstory/Background: Ghavor grew up in an environment that favored brawns over brains, making his childhood as a skinny short kid really troublesome. His father rejected him no matter what he achieved, since it couldn't be used to crack skulls or break bones, while his mother was busier taking care of his sister than paying any attention to him. His sister, being the favorite, grew up happily and with more strength, becoming even taller and perhaps stronger than her brother, Ghavor.

    At the age of 10, Ghavor would have caught his first spider. Nothing dangerous, but with a poison that actually sweetened the beverages it was mixed with, and couldn't kill any human drinkers. The family found it disgusting, and he was once again shunned and repressed. After that failure, he locked his creations in his room, and never told anyone about them, fearing further rejections.

    Such a fear from failure caused him to be an insecure teen later on, who overplanned every interaction he had with other people and isolated himself as soon as a chance was given him. The lonelier he remained, the more he sparkled with creativity in his poorly furnished room, fingers tangled around that loyal duck feather, sketching lines that nobody in the family would be able to understand.

    Ghavor's father died before he turned 16, never being able to see his son with a girlfriend, a fact over which he was tormented by his family as well. He didn't go to the funeral, and occupied that time to catch the first deadly being that he would own in his life: a vivid green frog, almost as green as his eyes were, who was named Ven, a shortcut from Venom. While his spider died in less than two years, Ven remained alive for much longer than Ghavor expected, still being in his box, watching him write at home today.

    Eventually, the plague wiped out Skyrim entirely, and claimed the lives of many people, some that were even acquaintances of his mother and sister. Ivory's Helm was formed, and they had no choice but to move there, just like the rest of the population. His sister quickly rose to become councilor of the city's lord, having Ghavor grow suspicious about how honest her rising had been. Not long after that, his mother was infected and soon died in the hands of the plague.

    Ghavor lived with his sister for at least four years, during which he began to work with steel, taken from the Yard, from some of which he crafted his gauntlets, after several wounds inflicted on his fingers by himself. One day, a snake he caught in the sewers below the city escaped its box, and his sister found it on her bed, which lead her to killing it with a broom and yelling at its owner: Ghavor. After putting up with many insults to his creations and his hobby, he snapped when the word 'useless' was thrown at his face, which forced him to pack his frogs and leave.

    Without a home, he broke in an old wooden shack, where he stood for a few years, living in hunger, surviving thanks to thievery or eating garbage found in the yard. Even though he was forced to live in such a miserable condition, Ghavor never gave up on his creativity, and started to work with magnets, which allowed him the first creation to ever be officially called such: The Magnetic Shield. Thanks to the magnetic power in this tool, the shield could block one attack and keep a steel weapon attached to it long enough for a successful counter-attack. As soon as Ghavor heard the city's lord was looking for aid in the war, he sold his creation and gained some trust from the man, as well as enough money to buy a house with one floor and a basement, which put an end to his misery. For a while.

    The need to create became more, as the war and years progressed, and Ghavor would soon be trying to create a weapon that would spit clouds of poison. During such a creation he would lose his eye to a snake, and get rid of those vile animals after the second time they caused him trouble. The weapon's progress became on hold as he tried to not only adapt to his blindness, but also cure the snake poison in his veins, and such a noxious menace has not yet been created.

    While keeping away from the creepy crawlies in his basement, in the early phase of his blindness, Ghavor developped another project in his mind, somewhat trivial, but fairly useful in battle as well. With a wooden crossbow he found in the Yard, he was able of attaching below it a steel cylinder where a combustion would occur, and create a flash of light powerful enough to disorient enemies in front of it for a while. Even though it was required to refill the cartridge with powder after every flash, Ghavor assumed that the reloading time of a crossbow would never be short anyway, and as such, some extra seconds should be spared to reload the cylinder as well. This creation was a mild success and granted Ghavor some extra coin which made him ambitious and greedier, and perhaps too bold in his following creation.

    One day, Ghavor woke up with an idea so devastating that would possibly win every battle when used: an armor that would attract lightning bolts in storms and reflect them at target locations. It took him months to perfect it, and no detail would be ignored if wrongly designed. The antenna on the back would have twice his height, and he would make sure the best conductor would be connected from the antenna to the arms, from which the bolts of electricity would be deflected. There was only one problem: whoever was inside the armor would also be eletrocuted. Being too eager to sell his creation, Ghavor only designed a thick piece of cloth to be worn below the armor for protection against the electricity. As soon as a storm seemed to be nearing, Ghavor took a chance to demonstrate its effectiveness. One of the lord's men would volunteer to try it, which saved the inventor's life for sure. Ghavor did not have in mind the sweat that came out of the human body, that moisted the cloth and allowed the electricity to flow through the armor's wearer. The man died in seconds, ending the triumphant cheers of everyone watching, and turning them into gasps of awe. Ghavor lost all the trust from the lord that day, and fell into poverty again, as well as depression.

    Now, he awaits death, or a chance to shine again, whichever comes first.

    Relations to RP:

    - Inventions: The Magnetic Shield, the Flash Cylinder and the Shock Armor (failed)

    - Poor because of: Lack of trust by everyone in the city, Ghavor is believed to have tried to murder the lord that night, rumours he believes that were spread by his sister


    -Popularity: Nobody likes him in the city, but that doesn't make him unknown. He seems to be famous for his eyepatch and failed creation, which makes people fear him and dislike him in general


    - Inventor Status: Has no projects, but wants something new desperately


    -family and relations:

    Father: Breir Lage, the family chief. He made Ghavor the unsociable creature he is today, and isn't missed by his son. His daughter, however, has a drawing of him in her house
    Mother: Nenade Lage. Nenade was caring and fairly younger than Breir, but she believed in her husband too much, and never stood up for her son when he needed. Therefor, Ghavor misses her slightly more than his father, but it isn't anything close to a grievous mourning.
    Sister: Ceryn Lage. She is famous in the city, and, unlike her brother, beloved by most of the people. Both pretend they don't know each other, and nobody knows they share the same blood. Ceryn has some influence on the lord, and might make life difficult to Ghavor if she feels like it.
    Grandparents: Ghavor never met them, but according to his mother's description of them, they were very similar in mentality to his father. As such, he doesn't wish he had met them. His mother was abandoned as a baby in Honorhall, which makes Ghavor despise her parents even though he never met them.

    If it is not okay for his sister to be an advisor, tell me, I will change it.

    Excellent use of format, and excellent diction in the overall backstory. That CC is the Ideal one for this roleplay. It is okay for his sister to be an adviser, but she truly has to be occupied usually so he doesn't see her much around Ivory's Bane.

    Looking forward to it! Hope you join :)

    Name: Alvor Emhart
    Age: 33
    Birth Date: 8th day of Second Seed 4E 261
    Height: 6ft 4in
    Race: Nord
    Appearance: Alvor is the sort of person that you can tell has battled from the first moment you see him. His shoulder-length blonde hair is matted, dirty and covers part of his face. Under his hair his face is covered in scars, some old and some so recent they could bleed if you pressed them hard enough. His eyes are a darkened blue above them are two rough, sluggish blonde eyebrows. His mouth is fixed with a consistent, concentrated frown and there is one long scar stretching from the bottom of his eyebrow to the corner of his lip. His figure makes him all the more scary with bulging biceps and a height that makes him tower over a lot of men.
    Birth Sign: The Warrior
    Occupation: Blacksmith (although he forges his own invented weapons in his spare time)
    Wealth Status: Rich due to a wealthy background
    Appearance:
    Hair: Blonde
    Eye colour: Blue
    Skin Colour: Dirty and Tanned
    Build: Tall and Muscular
    Attire: When out of the safety of a town or village, he wears a heavy set of iron armour with his families trademark seal expertly carved on to the chest piece (a shield with a severed bear head). When in villages and towns, he wears a torn, white vest covered in blood stains from the pelts of dead animals. He wears a loin cloth, big enough so that he never looks indecent, and a pair of fur boots that were formally worn by his father back when he forged weapons and armour.
    Personality: Despite his menacing and feeble-minded appearance, Alvor is actually quite intelligent and knows weapons better than he does his family. With the correct instructions, he could make any weapon humanely possible simply with his forge. This does not mean his is the greatest inventor ever nor the one of the best but he is definitely capable. He doesn't like to talk with people much and is known to swing first, ask questions later. Due to this, it would be near impossible for him to talk his way out of sticky situations (not that he even tries). Alvor aspires to follow in the footsteps of his father and be the greatest inventor/blacksmith in all of Skyrim.
    Positive Traits: Intelligent, Intimidating (to adversaries), Ambitious
    Negative Traits: Reckless, Inimidating (to associates), Unsociable
    Likes: Battle-axes, Forging, Ale
    Dislikes: Talking, Feelings, Theifs
    Aspiration/Goals/Ambitions: To be the greatest inventor/blacksmith in all of Skyrim (just like his father)
    Combat: Alvor wields his personalised battle-axe that includes his families crest and his name. Other weapons in his arsenal include a crossbow that can shoot small daggers and an ebony katana blade that he stole from the lair of a mad Breton alchemist that he once fought. Alvor usually charges onto the battlefield head on, but in some cases even he knows that can be suicidal. In those cases, he has a set of smoke bombs that he crafted using sheep skin, gunpowder and phosphorus.
    Skills (notable): His main skill is the fact that he can wield more weapons at once than any other man which makes him an asset on the battlefield but he also has an understanding of mechanics. He can work most mechanics but a lot of scientific work leaves him puzzled and annoyed. The only scientific recipe Alvor knows is for smoke bombs which is a family recipe made by his father.
    Weapons: A large, personalised battle-axe, a dagger-shooting crossbow, an ebony katana blade and some non-lethal smoke bombs.
    Description of Fighting style: Alvor charges head on to deal with foes and rarely has a tactical approach. He may not be tactical but he knows the secrets to winning a fight and will use all of the dirty tricks in the book to succeed. He is also trained in unarmed combat so he knows how to disarm of take down adversaries twice the size of him (not that any people are twice the size of him).
    Backstory/Background: Alvor grew up in the city of Solitude, Skyrim. He was brought up by his large family who were and still are very important in Solitude. His father was Yngvarr Emhart, the greatest blacksmith in all of Skyrim, who forged and also invented weapons and war tools for the High King's army. His mother was assistant to the High Queen, Alysia the Maiden. She managed the royal chefs, the servants and represented the royals on public matters.
    All was good for Alvor and at the age of 9, he forged his first weapon, a steel mace that he still keeps up on the wall of his house now. Alvor didn't have many friends, as a child he was a bully and intimidated other kids his age. He didn't need them though, he had riches and he spent all his spare time at the forge with his father anyway. By 14, he was quite the skilled blacksmith and he made his first invention, a crossbow dart that put victims to sleep rather than killing them.
    When Alvor was 18 and reached manhood, his father took him for his first ale which led to his second, third, fourth and fifth ale. Soon it led to his first woman, it was love at first sight (although he was drunk so only he knows how well he could see her). Arabella was her name and she was a sweet, red-headed Breton. She worked at the Winking Skeever and she made her own mead using a special recipe that only she knew.
    The romance lasted for years until one day, when he was in his mid 20s, he lost Arabella to the plague. Heartbroken, he became bitter and unsociable. The only thing that kept him sane was his job, he was know a well-known blacksmith in Solitude and had work to do. Now without Arabella, he had a lot more spare time so he decided to invent more things. He soon built his second invention, a crossbow that shot small daggers rather than darts.
    A few years later and Alvor was almost over Arabella. He was doing well and rolling in septims. When he realised that just forging and inventing weapons was starting to bore him, he decided to start using them. He began hunting and exploring caves in search of bandits, trolls or anything else to kill. He made his own armour that held his families crest (a shield with a severed bears head) on it. He was a great warrior and his father knew it. Yngvarr spent his retirement teaching his son more tricks of the trade but was eventually killed by a mammoth while out on a hunt.
    This just made Alvor even more bitter but he stayed in Solitude to help Skyrim's army succeed in battles. He soon invented smoke bombs and sold them to the army for a high price, making him even richer. He got his own house in Solitude, a massive palace-like home with enough room for a family of 10. After buying this, he realised that he wanted to start a family and he met his next important lady, Helga. Helga was a merchant, selling clothes in the nearby store, Bits and Pieces.
    Alvor was now 30, married to Helga and trying for a baby. Bad news was ahead however, as he soon found out that his mother had died of the plague. This sent Alvor right off the edge and he broke things off with Helga to flee from Solitude. He came across Ivory's Helm, where he got a job with a local old blacksmith by the name of Kaleed the Warmonger. Kaleed realised Alvor's brilliance and let him become the co-owner of the business.
    This is where Alvor now lives, three years later, making a lot of money but no longer inventing more equipment.
    Relations to RP:
    - Inventions: Sleeper Darts, Dagger-Shooting Crossbow and Smoke Bombs
    - Rich because of: Important family and a lot of smithing skill
    -Popularity: Loved by most of the town for his weapons that help protect the town from any nearby threats.
    - Inventor Status: No longer inventing unless he needs to.
    Family and relations:
    Mother: Elma Emhart. Assistant to the High Queen and a very loving mother, leading to Alvor having a good upbringing. She was always a little bit too kind and naive which led to her being robbed and tricked quite a few times. She is now deceased after being killed by the plague.
    Father: Yngvarr Emhart. Alvors true childhood hero and the person that Alvor always wanted to be growing up. He was a blacksmith and inventor working for the High King and the army of Skyrim. He was the greatest blacksmith in all of Skyrim during his time and loved his son more than anyone else.
    First Girlfriend: Arabella. Alvors first flame for years until she passed away due to the plague, leaving Alvor heartbroken. Worked in the Winking Skeever and made her own mead using a special recipe. A sweet, redheaded Breton.
    First Wife: Helga Emhart. Alvors first wife and second true lover. If things were different then she probably would have been the mother of his child but Elma's death was too much to handle. Worked in Bits and Pieces and a merchant selling alchemy equpiment, clothes and more. A picture of Helga hangs on the wall of his house right next a family picture when Alvor was 9 and his first forged weapon.
