Rules

​

1. No godding (outrageously over powered characters), no killing forum members characters (unless expressly agreed upon by all players involved), or saying so and so robs store of all goods, ruining the experience of other people. No being a Dragonborn either, in public neutral threads in the story of Skyrim they are very rare, thus it would be un-fair to have one person be a Dragonborn and be able to use Shouts so easily.​

​

2.All posts should be relevant to the RP, except for stuff in Out of Character comments <example> OOC: I need to go to sleep now, my character will just go along with whatever you guys decide. Every Story should set up a separate OOC thread for comments for non-partisipants and larger story discussion.​

​

3. The RP thread will be monitored by Kir the Silent who will also solve any disputes or arguments, and is in charge of asking people to change posts as well as advancing the main plot.​

​

4. You may make NPCs if the situation arises. Ex. ​

​

Innkeeper: Hello, traveler! Would you like a drink?​

​

Hero: Yes, that'd be nice.​

​

Innkeeper: Wonderful, that'll be 3 septims.​

​

5. Have fun!(Rules taken from Mr. Self Destructs)​

I decided to opt Solitude as the starting point for a few reasons. One while it's not central it is the capital and seat of political power. Two, with the wars end years ago and dragons gone there are plenty of sellswords and mercenaries out of work. Three, its port makes it an even better crossroads for our characters to collide. Thoought, concerns, or other feelings?

 

[The_Deadliest_Troll]

Bing!

Name: Lucas Verpot
Gender: Male
Race: Breton
Age: He appears to be about 25. His true age is a mystery.
Class/specialties: Scholar/mage. He specializes in Frost magic and illusion magic. He is also fairly skilled in alchemy and sneaking. He has decent skill in conjuration, restoration and alteration magic. However, he falls short in any form of physical strength.
Appearance: About 6 feet tall and skinny, but not weak looking. His skin is pale and his eyes a wicked amber color; his hair a greasy brown pony-tail. Forgoing the normal mage robes, he always dresses in the finest silk shirts with a nice vest over top. His looks are average at best, but there is something about him and his charm and demeanor that wins the hearts of women. A smile can sometimes be seen splitting his averagely attractive face, showing pearly white teeth; some of them being abnormally sharp. (I'm sure you see where I'm going with this haha)
Personality: Likes to keep to himself. Doesn't much care for the company of other people, but will always keep an open mind. He spends most of his time in libraries or in his personal study. He doesn't allow anyone to be close to him but longs for companionship. Plagued by nightmares and loneliness, he can sometimes give off a feeling of hostility.
Background: Born as the youngest child of a noble family in High Rock, he was teased for not being as strong and handsome as his brothers. He took to studying day and night to perfect his illusion magic and become a great thinker. One day in his early adulthood, everything changed when he was attacked by a vampire in the middle of the night. Little is known about what happened between then and the day he showed up at the door of the College of Winterhold in Skyrim asking for access to their resources.​

 

[Uther Pundragon]

Name: Darius Maximus
Gender: Male
Race: Imperial
Age: Early Twenties
Class/specialties: A student of many skills but a master of none. He has an affinity for alchemy and sword fighting. His natural charisma, looks, and voice lend itself well for speech and song.
Appearance: Browsing Digital Art on deviantART (Not my art. I also suck at descriptions)
Personality: Reserved. Caring. Kind. Helpful. Upbeat but also sorrowed. Of noble spirit. Opts to fight defensively rather than go on the offensive. Religious. He is against the use of magic other than for study.
Background: He keeps quiet about his past but his eyes say he has seen more than his age lets on. The only thing really known about him is his weapon. A two-handed sword which he calls 'Sorrow'.


Not a super awesomely detailed bio but you need to save most of that for people to find out during role play!

[caravan guard]

May I join?

 

[AtomicDonut]

Can I join? I'm new to role-playing, but I've read a lot of them and got the feel for 'em.

 

[Kir the Silent]

You two are certainly welcome as it seems we may have lost one rper and atomic should post your character card here as well. But other than that you should go to the actual rp thread and intro your characters. As a matter of fact I just set a scene for the intro of a chracter

 

[Skyrimosity]

This right here is the mother of all RP revival attempts. I'll be pulling that this turns into a good RP, really enjoyed the first few posts after just reading them.

 

[caravan guard]

Are you joining Skyrimosity, I would love to have you watching my back lol

 

[Skyrimosity]

Hah, I hadn't even thought about it. It seems like it could be a good RP... perhaps I would join if Kir would take me.

 

[Arthur Swift-Sword]

I was wondering if i could join? Here's my card.




Name: Kestrel
Race: Breton
Sex: Male
Age: 50 (Looks 23 because of Vampirism)
Equiptment: Wears Leather armor, Leather boots and Leather Gauntlets. He has 2 Ebony maces and knows some expert magic.
Skills: Stealth, One Handed, Archery, Destruction, Illusion.
Appearance: Although most people dont notice, Kestrel has very pale skin and Orangish eyes (Vampirism) He has Short light brown hair.
Personality: Very UNreliable. Will quickly turn on someone for coin.
Bio: Growing up, Kestrel was always a troublemaker. He would steal,make fun of guards, anything for a laugh. He was bitten by a Vampire and was forced to live in seclusion outside of Solitude, close enough though to get the Blood he needs. He searches for a cure to this very day.

 

[Skyrimosity]

If Kir allows me to join (big IF right there I suppose) my character will be a Breton Necromancer.

 

[Arthur Swift-Sword]

Perhaps we could come to a *Shifty eyes* understanding?

 

[AtomicDonut]

Ello there strangeya, I got what you need... *Opens black jacket* (Resident Evil 4 reference anyone? Eh? Ah f*** it.)

Name: Olaf
Race: Male Wood Elf/Werewolf
Age: 20's
Looks: Tan skin, black eyes, black hair with mohawk and short beard.
Armor: All Black Leather Armor, except for a black hood that covers his face (Guild Master Hood)
Weapons: Dragon Dagger, White Elven Bow
Likes: Woods, Archery, Hunting, Sneaking, Thieves Guild, Mead
Dislikes: Thalmor, Whiterun, Empire, Falmer, Vampires
Personality: Doesn't talk if he doesn't need to, can be a smart-ass but is yet very lovable.
Background: Olaf grew up in Valenwood, but fled to Cyrodiil until the Great War was over. Once the Empire gave into the Thalmor, he went to Skyrim, as he had no more respect for the Empire.

Fun fact: Kir inspired me to make Olaf.

 

[Skyrimosity]

On second thought, I don't wanna join this RP. I'll be busy with my other ones. Still wish it the best of luck though.
