    Hey Shew, you had mentioned that all Tsaesci are vampiric. Does that mean that I'm playing a vampire?

    apparently... but there can be ways to deal with it and not have to be over the top with I am a vampire all the time. Plus there is some doubt as to whether they are effected by daylight, and the need to feed or just more eaters of men.

    So, the way I understood what you just said, they are selectively vampiric? Or at least possibly with very little physical details of their vampirism?

    they are natural born vampires, but there is no reliable lore that states how that effects them. I took it to mean they require the blood to rejuvenate fully. But that they might not be effected by light, the need to feed all the time, etc.

    Okay, so vampires that are stronger in the sense that they are not ruled by their thirst. Gotcha. Thanks for informing me. I guess I missed that bit, haha. My first post is up by the way, I hope you all like it. :)

    All right... I'll join... Two character cards, if that's all right?

    Name: Didi-Ek
    Race: Tang Mo
    Gender: Female
    Age Range in Tang Mo Years: Preteen

    Appearance: For her monkey features, she is somewhat similar to a white-headed capuchin (pic of one can be found here: White-headed capuchin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). She is, of course, very small. She has a very long, prehensile tail, which is capable of holding onto things (tree branches... but also weapons and other such things). She wears a full light armor set (no shoes, though), which is made of a bamboo-like material (looks something like this http://www.bamboogarden.com/images/Bamboo%20armor.jpg except I think it might be a bit darker... and she has a bamboo-ish looking helmet as well).

    Weapons: Dart gun (LOL... 'cause I like the idea, MadGod) for long-ranged combat, stone dagger for close-ranged combat

    Combat-style: Her combat-style is very much like that of an assassin's. Evade detection and attack from the shadows (or more preferably attacks from above, by dropping down from trees). As such, she is very skilled at sneaking and sneak attacks... as well as creating diversions. She is intelligent when it comes to being able to find places to hide and "scouting ahead" but she has no magic ability. Skill-wise, I'm thinking her major skills would probably be Sneak, One-handed, Dart-gunning, Light Armor, and Speech (she is very well-versed in languages and tends to sound very polite and respectful)

    Likes: sweets, stories and tales of adventures and heroics, jokes, games, shiny objects, training to hone her skills, being helpful, her "Net-Mo" (a sort of mentor, bodyguard, butler)

    Dislikes: Tsaesci (I imagine even though they're allied now, there's probably still some leftover tension there or some mistrust), cowards, traitors, fish

    Personality: Didi-Ek is very polite, well-spoken, well-behaved, brave to an insane degree (as most Tang Mo are), fun-loving, and very deeply entrenched in her own culture (hmm... we need to come up with some culture stuff for these various races and everything... Anyone have any objections with the Tang Mo being like... monotheistic? *Just to change things up from the usual pantheon* Since we're going with the Tang Mo being kind of off-kilter... maybe their god is really off-kilter, too. Like He/She/It is probably like a trickster god... And lo, Mojo-Yo said "Let there be light!" And She created the sun. And then, She ate it. And it was good. But the sun gave her indigestion, so She spit it back up and left the sun. And maybe they see the Daedric Princes as being children of Mojo-Yo or something with Sheogorath being the "favored son.") to the point where she may come across as a bit obsessive or even a bit intolerant of other cultures. She is also a very defensive person and seldom tolerates (without throwing a temper tantrum) people questioning her beliefs, her abilities, or just in general causing trouble for her or her Net-Mo.

    Background: Didi-Ek is essentially a "child soldier." When a Tang Mo infant demonstrates things that make them seem like capable warriors (very loud crying, lots of grabbing, biting, trying to play with sharp objects, early walking... and as judged by an experienced elder), they are taken from their parents and trained in various aspects of battle by their "Net-Mo." (Since the Tang Mo were often under threat of invasion from what I read and oppression, it doesn't seem too far-fetched for them to have taken to training some of the children to fight as well). Child soldiers are often honored highly... indeed, many of them become spoiled due to being showered with gifts, supportive notes, and being waited on hand-and-foot when at home.

    ...

    Name: Ook-In
    Race: Tang Mo
    Gender: Male
    Age Range in Tang Mo Years: Adult

    Appearance: For his monkey features, he looks very orangutan-ish. He is very tall (6'5, I think). He wears a type of heavy armor, which is made of some very hard, thick wood. It kind of looks like he's wearing a barrel over his body, arms, and legs... and a tiny bucket for a helmet.

    Weapons: A heavy, wooden, spiked club in one hand and a wooden shield in the other. Without those, he is perfectly capable of bashing someone's head in with his fists.

    Combat-style: He just charges in and starts fighting. His main priority is keeping enemies off or away from Didi-Ek. His main skills are Heavy Armor, One-Handed, Block, and Alchemy. He has some minor ability in fighting unarmed.

    Likes: Didi-Ek (very devoted), butterflies, reading, cooking, sewing, scenery, quiet

    Dislikes: anyone who threatens or tries to hurt Didi-Ek, drinking/drunks, people who squash butterflies, Tsaesci

    Personality: Ook-In is the strong, silent type. This may be because he isn't particularly fluent in any other language except his native language. But it may also be because he's just a strong, silent type guy. Despite looking formidable, he is actually very sensitive and over-emotional, prone to bursting into tears at beautiful sights, the death of a butterfly, or a sad ending to a book. He is easily taken advantage of and pushed over... but only by Didi-Ek, who he has pretty much sworn his life to protect and serve. As such, he can often seem very over-protective of her. Growling at people who get too close and insisting on inspecting anything she is given.

    Background: He is Didi-Ek's "Net-Mo."

    Well hell everybody. ;) I have a great idea for a character for this RP and I'm grateful for being invited, but I haven't got time to write up his character card at the moment. (Yes, I said he. This will be my first male character) I promise I will write it up as soon as I am home today.

    Well Shew posted about being on land and I thought he was on the same ship so I'm not sure if we're still at sea or not....but you're probably not too late.
     

    Minstrel

    Queen of Evil
    Name: Lou'Shun

    Race: Tang-mo

    Age: 103

    Appearance: Lou'shun is an elderly Tang-mo with thick, light-brown hair.
    images

    He Looks roughly like this image, but is older looking and his body isn't extremely fat as this picture suggests.

    Personality: Lou'shun is a wise, but equally insane old Tang-mo. He is kind and happy like most of his race and has respect for others. He loves wander around although his movement is slow due to his age. His age however, doesn't stop him from being quite loud and eccentric.

    Gear/skills: Lou'Shun wears mage robes, similar in desgin to robes in Tamriel but slightly more bright and vibrant. They have unusual patters across them with a variety of colours. He always carrier around a staff with him which he leans upon while standing and walking. He is a master in restoration and destruction, but is also very good with every other type of magic. He had no skills in any other kind of weapon and refuses to use them.

    Backstory: Lou'Shun was born into an unusual but loving family. His mother and father were vegetarians, a trait that has been passed onto Lou'Shun, as were the rest of his large family tree. His mother was a mage, something Lou'Shun became interested in over the years, who made healing potions for the rest of their village and his father was also a mage who was extremely skilled in the art of destruction magic. His mother and father would teach him their own favoured sides of magic and before long Lou'Shun was skilled in restoration and destruction. Lou'Shun stayed in his village until the death of his mother. She died of natural caused and Left Lou'Shun in her sleep. It appeared though, that she had foreseen her death and left her son a note. It told Lou'Shun that there was more to the world than their small village and that he should explore the world before his time was up. Lou'Shun said his goodbye's to his father after the funeral and set out to explore the world. He explored the land for years and met many people and learned many things.

    Years later, as he realised that his life was slowly coming to and end, he heard of a planned invasion on a land called Tamriel. Knowing that this may well be his last chance to see more of the world he lived in he set out to help the cause.

    (Sorry that it wasn't a really dramatic Character card with a sad backstory and deep hatred for certain things. The interesting things about Lou'Shun are not in his past, they are in his personality.)

    Oh...I thought Bruynzeel was on the same ship as the rest of us since you said you were cooking the meal in your introduction. ^-^; Unless you were on the same ship and I'm still confused....

    So was my character card any good? Do you think I will get a place in this RP?
    Of course Minstrel! :) I liked the last bit you added especially. The part about how the interesting parts weren't in his history but in his personality. But like Assassin said you have to wait on Sky's okay.

    Normally it wouldn't be, at least not from me, but the characters are meant to go together so I will allow it.
