Here’s my much anticipated headcase character…

You were anticipating him, weren’t you?

*Glares threateningly*

Weren’t you?


Name: Erna Rahnis

Race: Dark elf

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Birthsign: The Lord

Focus: Espionage

Skills: Speech, short blade

Appearance: Erna is a man of averages-he is of average height, average weight and of average build. It is almost impossible to notice him in a crowd. He isn’t ugly, he isn’t handsome and he has no scars or tattoos. He has white hair common among most Dunmer, crimson eyes and slightly paler skin than your average Morrowind dweller, but apart from this he is barely noticeable.

Mental/personality description: Erna is, to say the least, a maniac, and a dangerous one at that. He takes great enjoyment in inflicting pain and misery upon others, and will happily wait a long time for the optimum opportunity to do so. He can easily fool others into thinking he is sane, with a cheerful and outgoing personality, but he uses this as a way to lure anyone into a trap where there is no way out, without his say so-and that means of escape will invariably be filled with pain and suffering.

Weapons: A short dagger and a handheld crossbow.

Clothing: Large coat to protect against the ash-storms and thick, heavy boots.

Bio: Erna’s past is shrouded in mystery-no one knows where he comes from, who he works for or why he does. Currently posing as a merchant wishing to sell his wares at the Ghostfence, Erna is there to fulfil whatever shadowy motive he has been ordered to do. While he seems to be helpless against any skilled opponent, and while people sometimes hate him, there’s something behind his eyes that can transfix people and draw them in, until he plants a dagger straight into their heart.


And another character idea, based on one of my favourite characters that I’ve created (seeing as the jury’s still out on whether or not everyone is a dark elf or not).

Name: Herschar Ice Eye

Race: Nord

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Birthsign: The Tower

Focus: Combat

Skills: Long blade, light armour

Appearance: Herschar is surrounded by a general aura of scruffiness-his hair is messy, his clothes are rumpled and his chin has a layer of stubble on it that he just can’t lift. He’s fairly tall and bulky, like most Nords, has brown hair (which he insists is auburn) and blue eyes.

Mental/personality description: Cheerful and outgoing, and possessing a sharp wit, Herschar generally manages to get on with anyone he wants to get on with. He has a gung-ho outlook on life and living, adopting the philosophy- “if it’s not interesting then I’m not interested.”

Weapons: Enchanted sword (called Azgath-fire damage, soul trap and able to talk-very sarcastic), crossbow.

Clothing: Light leather cuirass and trousers, thick travelling cloak and boots.

Bio: Born in Bruma, Herschar was always a troublemaker when young, often having run ins with the watch. Once he was old enough, Herschar stocked up on supplies and set out, aiming to explore as much of the world as possible and become rich and famous in the process. Though he found Azgath, his plans have gone somewhat awry, so Herschar now pursues a career as a freelance mercenary, and signed up with the caravan as a way to earn some money.

Little did he know, Herschar’s going to be in for one hell of a job.

I like the ghostfence construction idea, but I also don't want the characters limited to dunmer and their slaves.

So with that in mind I took the liberty of making up a basic plot. Use it, scrap it, modify it; I don't care, I just wanted to put something out there.



I think this plot is vague enough to play freely, but structured enough to always have a direction. Let me know what you guys think.

I actually like that plot a lot, it has corruption, a twist and some potential for a lot of good character.

That could work quite well actually-the mix of action and politics would be an interesting brew for an RP and the commander being a dreamer would be a good twist.

It's got my vote!

yeah...I'm in, sounds good to me. Now then...gotta think of a suitable charachter..

Shall we set up a character thread or does someone still have something to add?

Nope. I'd say we're set. Except for one thing.

We need a title. Calling it To Heir is Human III revamped won't do.

Hmm, how about a simple one?

Building the Wall. (Or not. This makes me feel as if we're going to build the Great wall of China.)

Sounds fine. Maybe 'To build the wall' is better but then maybe not.

The only other one I can think of is 'Blight Rising', given that the war this is set at the start of only goes badly for the next couple of decades.

To be honest I don't think the title is so important so whatever.

or we could simply call it "Ghostfence"

but yeah, title's not so important to me.

Yeah, the title is really low on the list of priorities. I only brought it up because I wanted to differentiate it from THIH.

I'll set up the character thread. I'll go with 'The Ghostfence rp' for now. Later on, Minque or an other mod can always change it if needed.

Edit: Done. I'll wait with posting Eno till someone else has posted. That way I won't have to doublepost or bring an ugly edit into the opening post.

Also, I'm thinking of (besides Eno) rp-ing an Argonian and his Dunmer servant. The twist? The Dunmer is a Cyrodiilic one and pretends to be the Argonian's owner to avoid nasty cultural conflict. Does that sound good or should I think it over?

Ghostfence is ok..now I was also thinking...we could call it "The Wall" like Pink Floyd's famous album! it would be a nice twist ....sort of

Hmm I can't think of what I want to do as far as characters goes...I'll see what other people have so I don't have a boring character.

Florodine, Minque, anyone else who wanted to join but I forgot about, you still in here? I'd honestly would like to start the rp soon because the way it is now, I've got the feeling it's going to die before we've even gotten a single post done.

So umm, yeah. I guess I'm just saying that I'm an impatient fool here.

hehe! Funny! i was just thinking the same. Now I've sort of created a charachter...I'll post her tonight I guess.

And yeah....let's get this started !

Danny!!! where are you? "Daanny, the official Forum-RP-guru"

I'll post my character sometime tonight as well, so I'm still in

I still lurk around.

I'm actually going to have to opt out of this, I'm afraid. I'm away for the next two weeks! and after that I'll be back for a short while before I'm of again. And from my experience, having a character introduced half way through a GS/RP is never a good idea.

Sorry to let the side down.

ooh, i´m interested i´m interested

Not sure if 'll be posting over christmas much - depends on how dead the computer I keep at my parents house (where I'm going for christmas) is. I think its gone the way of the dodo though. But I'll be posting when I can.

Ah right, it's december the holliday month. I completely forgot about that. Ok, I'll wait. Or maybe I'll start the thread tomorrow so everyone can join in on their own time. The caravan won't be leaving till everything's been packed after all.


Bean, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can join the next one then.

Ok good Mr Cloudy, Please make the first thread with some kind of starting-story, and we'll follow!

gah....have to introduce my lady soon then!

Well, I made the first post with Eno. Maybe I should add some more. Right now, he hasn't really been assigned to a caravan yet. I suppose that happens when you go to the stall to register.

Don't hate me because I'm new! D:

Can I join?

EDIT: Or are we talking about the Ghostfence RPG here?

Of course you can join. Although yep, we are talking about the Ghostfence rp here so it looks as if you already did.

Anyway, to answer your question from the playground. The caravan will probably leave in 1-2 rp-days I'd say. In real-life time, that's probably in januari.

Alright, so renting a room wasn't for nothing.

Ladies and gentlemen, my most humble apologies. It seems as though the priest lost the fire for lore and the brotherhood online. I don't want to intrude, or become a hassle, and it has been far too long for me to call this place home. But, before I digress, I would like to know if there would be room for an old priest like myself.

On a side note, if someone could PM me the plot thus far, it would be greatly appreciated.

THIH is dead, hense the last post being last year.

So right Mr Olen, therefore I hereby lock this thread!
