I remember, Minque. I joined up after AMU. I liked the first rp I was a part of. I don't remember its name, but it was a massive trilogy, though it died at the third part. It taught me a lot of things and there was some place for roleplaying and character development. I mean, sure the second part ended with a war of all things, but we also had a romance or two going on!
Looking back at it, I was one of those who decided it was easier to just swing a sword than hold a striking conversation. That and the urge to outdo everyone else (at mindless destruction and mayhem of course) probably led to a lot of mistakes. But as said, I learned a lot and one thing it gave me is my current preference for characters whose description does not start at their weapons and end at the size of their biceps. Also their age. My guys get older and older it seems.
But I'm gonna shut up and work on my first post now. Hopefully this rp will be the reviving injection the rp-section so desperately needs.

So does this HAVE to be in 4E 200?

Mar 21 2012, 04:36 AM
Somebody said that it should be on Skyrim's timeline, because it would be easier. Saw one thing about that. The plot of Skyrim. I mean, the dragons. At least with 200, we don't have to deal with those terrors.
Could edit it out if you guys wished.

Maybe everybody has NOT played Skyrim then you rule out participants before it even starts! Ehh I have NOT played it, have no rig that can manage it
But I'm interested in this rp....I'll dig up a characher i reckon

Ah this is a good point, I myself saw the Rp post and...just wow, I thought post were smaller...way smaller.

My knowledge of Skyrim can be summed up as follows: Something about Dragons and something about noisy Nords. I don't know the geography, the culture, the ecosystem, the factions, guilds, history, landmarks, current events, random naked dudes on the side of the road complaining about witches.

Mar 22 2012, 07:47 PM
hehe Mr Cloudy, I don't even know THAT much! but I reckon it's a bit like Norway and Northern Sweden when it comes to nature.
Fawkes: In normal RP the posts should NOT be that long, I mean you get tired before you even read it...Now I think the guys will have this like a hybrid between RP and fanfic....You may have noticed some RP-ing with self! You CAN do that....I on the other hand think that can be a bit difficult....But I don't know..hehe i might even RP the continuation of my story....

Well, intro posts are generally longer than most. I'm assuming that once we get into the swing of things, they'll get to a more managable length.
Also,
this here handy map may come in useful for getting a general idea of the geography of Skyrim. I doubt we'll be sticking all that closely to NPCs and the precise locations, but as long as the major cities and areas are marked out that's probably all that will really be needed to be known in the general scheme of things. And, of course, if you do have more questions that come up in the RP, I certainly wouldn't mind answering them.

Mar 24 2012, 05:13 PM
Innumerable apologies, ser! But I'm afraid two beats one. Besides. Yelling the fall of the Dominion's general in a packed inn of a city under the control of an empire, which in turn is watched over by a fantastically racist Elven government would make even an adrenaline junkie like Celdryn froze over.
But singing it?
Au revoir, mon petit chapeau! I shall run away to someplace exotic! Like Blackmarsh.
Darkness Eternal
Mar 24 2012, 05:20 PM
Eh, true. Most people don't want to end up crucified or tortured because they bragged about a lord's defeat. So, any ideas on how the story can progress?
Uleni Athram
Mar 24 2012, 06:02 PM
Yeah. Unlike the previous incarnations, this Celdryn doesn't like slow deaths. He just likes tempting it. And with the chance to escape if things get drastic. Keh. The Thalmor have long memories. Escape would be impossible.

So, any ideas on how the story can progress?
I've been thinking about this, actually. And that line of thinking has got me to wacky and zany places, and the plot of Skyrim too, but that's all irrelevant. Apart from that crazy idea, I have one suggestion.
What I suggest is that we let the character themselves decide which way the story progresses. I'm starting to delve deep within the junkie's personality and way of thinking, and I take this as a good sign.
Let the characters interact and interact and see where that takes them. The destination is pre-destined to be Skyrim of course, but the ride there should be fun.
Take that for what it is. I gotta work on my post.
Darkness Eternal
Mar 24 2012, 06:35 PM
Fair enough, the conversation can lead to multiple branches of possibilities! I don't blame Cedryn. Vaultren wouldn't like it either, and he probably hates the Thalmor more than anyone else, but like everyone else he has to keep his mouth shut.
Darkness Eternal
Mar 26 2012, 07:44 PM
I'm not sure if Vaultren actually made his intentions clear. Perhaps it was poor writing on my part, but his expression in regards to what he is thinking is sort of unclear. It wasn't the case for him with the song and his anger issues, but I guess toward women he is more secretive.
But then again, Cerdryn is a bard so he could have super reading abilities. It's not far fetched. But I was just throwing it out there.

So... 2-3 days passed and the RP stood still and you deem it dead? I don't consider that RP dead. More like the RPers taking a break and getting things done IRL, because y'know, we can't really devote all our time to an RP.
In any case, I completed what school demanded from me and I am now working on my post. Apologies though, guys. I should've popped in earlier to announce the attack of RL, but what can you do, you know? A 15 page length essay (at least) can be a distraction. Especially if said essay is your evaluation essay.

I wouldn't say we've so much lost a sense of direction at the moment, so much, as we're in the middle of a conversation at the moment, so things are going to slow down a bit just naturally. But we do seem to have lost people. Jack, Uleni, where are you two at?

Still, if you wish to butt in then now seems to be a good time to.

I'm downed for the count, remember? Kehehehehe. Its also my sly way of stalling time; I'm busy recently with school, so I may not have the chance to reply as I like.
But don't mind me, I'll wake up soon enough. Probably. Will make another character if I deem myself envious of the RPing. Which, naturally, I am. Out of ideas though.
Probably will use Miripos the Red, a ex-insurgent-Thalmor-turned serial killer that wants to escape to Skyrim. That'll spice things up, yes?

Name: Sasfiel
Race: Altmer
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Home Country: Chorrol, Cyrodiil
Faction and Rank: None
Faction Description: None
Class: Serving Wench
Class Description: It might not compliment her elven heritage, but it certainly fits her attitude and the body she vessels herself in. With her looks alone, she could net tips from various customers far larger than her meagre wage can provide with tactical flashes of her skin. Personally though, she finds her occupation boring and wishes for more thrilling jobs, but life is life. Mayve someday she could experience much more exhilirating jobs, but she doubts it.
Skills: Her days or nights flirting with drunken patrons has sharpened her tongue somewhat, and she could sway people with her voice given enough time. The voice and the body gestures makes well for a lethal combination. She could also hold her own with a dagger; her looks can net her in trouble and she has a to defend herself.
Appearance: Of all her lushy appearance, her eyes stands out the most. Wide and bright, its innocent stare can convince people with hard-hearts and makes them easier to sway. The golden stare can make men's knees weak as jellies, and when angered, it could also be the glare from hell.
Eyes: Gold, with specks of amber in the irises. She keeps it bright and shiny as well-peeled gold-colored eggs.
Build: Slender. One could also detect hints of muscle, but they're usually much more focused on Sasfiel's hypnotizing eyes.
Personality: Vivacious. Daring. And most of all, a thrill-seeker. Gets easily bored when things go stale.
Weapons: An ordinary steel dagger.
Clothing: Tavern clothes.
Miscellaneous: She keeps several letters stuffed in a pouch tied to her waist. The contents is very important to her, and she keeps an eye out for pickpockets mistaking the pouch for money.
Magic: None.
History: Sasfiel was born near Chorrol to a pair of Altmeri farmers that struggled with the local animosity and the obstacles of finance. Her parents manage to get her some basic education. but all of that stopped when Sasfiel discovered the joys of being a rebel. She severed the ties between her and her parents, and became part of several chain gangs. While mostly harmless, the gangs did have encounters that turned violent, and sometimes, she was involved in it. A particular, bloody gang war made her decide to cut all ties to the criminal organization and returned to her parents. While repentant, she still had the rebellious fire in her, and refused to be farmer like her parents. She went back to the city and found work as a serrving wench in Tal'Jhiro's establishment.
OOC: This is my first time RPing a woman. I hope I didn't stray too far in the Mary Sue territory...

For those who are interested, I've stuck up a quick list of spells that Alvara knows on her character sheet; just a useful way to curtail the temptation to pull ones I want out of thin air instead of learning new ones over the course of the RP when they're actually bought.
Now to see how I can sort out this mess you caused, Uleni...
Uleni Athram
Jun 3 2012, 11:05 AM
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I can assure you guys that this is not a mess. I mean, yeah, that was quite a sudden douchebaggery I pulled on you guys... BUT DRAMA. I LOVE SCHISMS AND FALLOUTS AND ALL THAT. It was just kinda my way to errr, spice up the RP. Celdryn is a man of action. *sinister laugh* And he doesn't trust Vaultren, let alone having him on the trip To The North. So..... he'll determine in a test of sorts if the Imperial wouldn't kill us on the way To The North. Like I said, my way (or Celdryn's) of spicing up the RP. My apologies if it took you offguard.

Fine with me on both matters. But try to keep the new guy someone we can like and trust. Or at least someone who keeps his hidden dark side hidden. With the distrust we have going on right now, we're already jumping through too many loopholes to keep the gang together.
Darkness Eternal
Jun 14 2012, 10:50 PM
Well, his dark side of killing the girl and being a Pentulis Oculatus who hates the Thalmor is revealed, I think you can trust Vaultren now. He knows how everyone distrusts him now, so he'll try to reconcile with everyone the best way he can. Form some friendships.

I'm still in. I just thought I should wait and give the others a chance to interact before it turned into the Vaultren and Kogobal show. That, and I've been wasting my days trying to cram out some more fanfiction so I haven't been paying much attention to the forums. (Who knew that writing about the Mythic Dawn as anything other than a faceless mob of baddies could be so hard? I mean, I don't even remember a single character of that group!)
