ahh I hope Doomed will answer my post soon..poor Sedrane is totally confused....it´s about time old Kaushad reveals their kinship.....

It's not really in his nature...

I´m thinking of letting Serene go back to Zergonipal..she is of no use to anyone in Vivec anymore,,better she help out with the ashlanders..but now I´m off for tonight

Meet Malik. An all to obvious villain


EDIT: I'd like to make it known that Kane Malik as now known as just Malik. I didn't noticed his name rhymed with Dane as well as Rane (as Rane pointed out). So when you read Malik's first post just replace the word Kane with the word Malik.

How many real, like real villains we got so far?

I can only count Judd, Cerpin and Malik. Melkaan, Amili, Ravvin and Isaarin are all sympathetic villains.

who's judd?

Read the character thread.

wait never mind

i asked so i wouldnt have to.... just nevermind, i'm not going through twelve pages looking for a name.

It's not twelve pages, deduce something.

You haven't heard of him, meaning he hasn't been in play that long, so at most it's five pages.

You can tell whether the post is about him or not by reading the first line (name: Judd)

In deciding on wether to take away Malik's status as a merc and just make him a plain ol' serial killer.

Well we are still waiting on florodine to make a move... Val is between me and the silhouette and he seems to be being ignored. though I don't see how.

*sits and waits some more.*

Hmmn, what is Isaarin currently doing right now?

Malik is in a frenzy on the battle field. He currently has killed 2 goblins and 2 soldiers.

EDIT: I created Malik's backstory. I could have done better but I was rushed and under time constraint.

Florodine, if you don't want the silhouette to fight Val then all you have to do is say something. Either way, we are all waiting for you to post.

The RP cannot continue at this point unless you do something.

I sent you a PM regarding this and still havn't gotten a reply. We can wait a bit longer, but I'm afraid we will soon have to discuss alternatives to continuing without you.

thither? is that a word?
and i haven't seen florodine on for a while.

Florodine was on just last night. I don't want to continue without him, I'm just saying it may have to happen.

Why yes it is. As a side note... who likes my new Malik post?

PS. I would like someone to interact with Malik during all this battle buisness. He needs some worthy playmates .

Well to me it seems like silhouette is a false enemy so if he does no reply since he is active then you ought to just kill the character, you have my permission.

No need, Florodine is back in the RP.

Just to clarify, Malik looks like something like this



His two knives connect together to form one long blade and his hair is white (even though the post says it is black ,that'll be changed later) he is also inhumanly pale , his teeth are very jagged and reddened by blood, and he is covered head to foot in scars.

Creepy.



I don't have a proper pic of Lykaon, I just can't find anything that looks enough like him.
Well, his armor, finding a picture for him armorless would be easier. Heh heh. Of course, no one knows that, know one got to see him mask-less yet!

Just saying Kell, if they're active but they choose not to post for a prolonged period of time (as in, if they are posting in other places in the forum) then you should have to right to play their character just enough to move on.

Alright if I may make a quick suggestion.

STOP POWERPLAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


summoning 'hundred's of skeletal warriors -_- I mean come on let us be realistic, the energy required to summon that many is enormous, and the the linkage between the summons and the casters mind(yes summons are dependent on the casters mind, shold the caster be distracted the summon would deteriorate.) would be so astronomical it would kill the caster.

I could understand a dozen or more, if youa re an extremely powerful mage.

so please let us keep the powerplaying to a minimum. powrerplaying forces other players to powerplay in return to survive, so once someone powerplays everyone else has to powerplay.

Seconded. Remember, Dragon Ball Z is not an interesting RP, it's a bunch of people who start off a battle looking pretty normal but because they keep powerplaying each other it looks really stupid and they finish every battle with really high yellow hair. I don't want that, and I hope no one else does either.

Interesting RPs involve weak characters as well as strong ones, and every character needs something that makes them human, some vulnerability, something any character could get them with. Simply because you thought of a way to cover every loose end in your defense structure does not mean you should actually cover every loose end. Interesting RPs involve the exploitation of PCs weaknesses. Otherwise, really, there's no tension, no drama.

agreed, thats why I let the tension in Vivec carry through, i have let murders occur, people escape the undercity, destroy part of the city etc.

but it still has some sweet defenses ^ ^.

I'm just hoping to end this battle with the silhouette soon. I don't think I can make Val carry on like this for too before he explodes.

I'd like to point out Malik while still a skillful fighter, prefers to prey on the weak (only goblins and no orcs, only poorly protected and inexperienced soldiers). Of course being a skillful warrior doesn't mean he is an invincible one. He has weaknesses too.


Psychosis isn't really an advantage I'd say.

Danny! How did Sel end up in the Telvanni district? And where the h*** is Serene? I´m totally lost here, been with Sedrane too long I reckon.....

I just said something because I have no idea where we were supposed to be, so I just made him lose track of time and where he was.

Ok....that a reason as good as any.....hmmmm I´ll have to catch Serene now....and have her doing something...

I think they where around the Arena area... Maybe they left the Arena, at least she spotted Arneth running out or something for the battle. I think she would be heading for the battle or something

can you give me one damn post before jumping down my throat, i had an idea around so just give it some time

Lykaon's armor in itself is a weakness. It hides his identity, but is unique, and thus makes him idetifiable, and he's kinda...unsociable.

Not to mention with that much weight, he'd be screwed if he fell in the water. He is inhumanly strong (with good reason, which will be revealed when he is unmasked...) but he can't swim in full ebony. No one realistically could. And the mask wouldn't help. Even if he got to the surface, unless removed the mask would be full of water...

Oh, and he's entirely a melee warrior, which leaves him open to assault from mages and archers.

More of mages though, Ebony is a pretty hard armor to pierce.

Here's the thing though, RPs are character driven, and that means that when doing something... questionable, it's good to first check with the player you're RPing with and one of the leaders of it to make sure they approve it. See, Since RPs are character driven, the other player doesn't want to make their character something he isn't just to keep him alive. It's not really fair to the other players. I'm not saying you can't do something, just that it's best to work with the other players around that event to make sure they can work it out, and possibly alter your move around to cope with the other characters who wouldn't quite fit that scenario.

An exaggerated example would be if suddenly I decided to blow up a magic battery. Something like that is very big, and obviously most characters in the area (in fact, all) would perish if one exploded. That's why I would need to talk to one of the leaders of the RP as well as consult with any players that would be effected by this move, because it's huge. Then, from there I would negotiate. "Well it's too early in the game to wipe out all coastal cities so maybe instead of that I could, say, break a geer and cause close to the same desired effect for my character without doing something that would A. Either kill the other characters or B. force them to change their character to adapt."

So, remember, not everything you do requires this but in the case of casting a spell no mortal creature in all of Tamriel would be able to pull-off, it's better to get consent for that.

Mailk's biggest weakness is plain to see in my newest post. He's an extreme masochist and he won't always wait for his enemy to strike him or may not care if they do.

i don't get it florodine. even if they are just ilusions, it would still require a constant stream of energy to maintain them O.o

hmm well whatever, I'll just bring in to play, an element i had in store for only the most dire circumstance.

The Soul Blade and Blades of Judgement

A sword from oblivion with the same cruelty of arcyakt's staff. it feeds of the souls it kills, the 6' blade grows ever stronger, but unlike arcyakts staff it cannot hold them forever, instead it consumes the souls to feed it's power, and it also has a limit on the number of souls it can hold. once this limit is reached the soulblade can be split.

This reveals twoblades of equal length, known as the swords of judgement. one blade is an irridescent white. it appears to glow from within, yet it's surface is like a rainbow. the other blade is dark, blues purpla,s red,s and black dancing across it's surface. these two blades are both in the physical and metaphysical state. used individually they are like regular swords, though the white blade is lethal to any undead, and the black is lethal to anything that treasures life,

However, when both swords are used in conjunction passing through a victim, the do not render apart flesh and bone. and instead pass through the soul. in that infintesmally small fragment of time, the blades decree jugement on the soul. if it b granted mercy the being lives. knowing that they were spared, and as such are changed fighting for the side of the one who spared them. ifmercy is not granted, the soul is violently stripped away from the body. The swords decide this of their own accord, the user having little bearing n the matter.

and if I may note, this sword(s) will not remain throughout the RP, and will be used only for this battle.

wow, very nice....

well I didnt say the silhouette was the one doing the spell, did i? no i didnt it said they appeared, its under the control of Miran, not the silhouette, and miran isnt fighting so he can completely concentrate on the illusions, and killing the illusions doesnt do anything, cause THEY'RE ILLUSIONS, they arent there to fight, just to be used as a scare tactic, you dont need to do this whole dramatic sword thing to get rid of them, once they're found out miran will let the spell go

do not tell me how i am supposed to write. if i choose t embellish details then so be it.
and the "whole dramatic sword thing" was used on orcs and goblins. i only referred to the illusions later, and all i did wass make them dissappear. So now that this thing is over, let us return back to normal and fun RP.

the sword will be put to rest now, but if this powerplaying happens again I'll use them.

Now now, lets not start a fight here.

Lets just put it behind us and continue the RP, I would hate to see an arguement erupt that could close the RP, you know.

fine ill leave it at this, if making an illusion is powerplaying, then so is super swords, and im sorry i didnt know harmless illusion spells arent alowed

Hey can someone fill me in about the story for the last several days?

I think there is (was) a battle going on in Vivec but I'm not entirely certian.

It should be noted that casting a maintaining a illusion of that magnitude would be mentally fatiguing and magically drainging, however.



Yep. Battle.

Still going..

ok ill put that miran is a little drained when the silhouette returns, but thanks for saying it in a non attacking way

I have an idea, how 'bout you didn't summon them, but you more called them? I knwo it is simmilar but they would be their own beings, so you wouldn't have to use "brain power" or what ever....

Florodine, we understand you're inexperienced so we will try to be patient with you but remember that we do understand the technicalities of RPing a bit more so try to listen as best as possible.

Hmm I must say I owe you an apology as well. I had two exams and a project due today, so I was not in the happiest of moods. so sorry i snapped at you.

and the swords... well i decided to fight fire with fire. but as i said earlier they areonly in play for this battle.

ok sorry i snapped to, i also had two exams, and yes maybe im inexperienced here, but i've been on countless other forums, or at least five. Once again sorry megil

Your getting better, thats for certain.

So no one will lay the story out insofar for me?

Nope, we're all too much of lazy asses to do so...
