Elderscrolls roleplay (OOC, ideas) OPEN

[katt the wolf]

hiya guys and gals! i was thinking about doing an elderolls VI roleplay. sounds cool right?! well, i could use some people and some idea's need to be made. i was thinking something like, the emperor of tamriel turns evil/corrupt, and the next dragonborn must take up his rightful rule as emperor (since none of the past few emperors have really been a dragonborn, and dragonborn is supposed to be the emperor.)
 
nayways.. give me some ideas and dont be shy about joining! this RP could use all the argonians and nords it can handle! (or i suppose you could use your fursona and give them Race attributes.. that would be fun)

[Shadis]

I would be game in trying something like this   

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

I love me some Elder Scrolls. I'd be up for it.

[Shadis]

Haha! I knew I wasn't the only one! 

[Jormungdang]

Why not? It sounds fun.

[Shadis]

I wonder how long we should wait before we start it ourselves? I could try to lead us if Katt the Wolf doesn't start it

[katt the wolf]

sorry all.. i've been really busy with stuff lately, so yeah if i don't start this soon after we have a good plot line, wolf can lead it. so, any idea's on how this should go about?

[Shadis]

Hmmmmmmmmm...... Well, I'm pretty sure your character in Skyrim was suppose to be the last Dragonborn, so it wouldn't make sense to include a new one, unless we wanted to break the rules a bit, of course. Or even set our game in the past. We could set out to affect the world in a large way, much like the games, or we could do something simple such as trying to find a mythical wereshark in order to become one, hunt down some powerful magical item, work for a faction, etc. Which province we start in would also be important. What do you guys think? There are so many possibilities. Thoughts? Ideas?

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

Looking at the OP, I don't see anything to imply that the Dragonborn involved in this RP isn't supposed to be the same one you play as in Skyrim, so that's always a possibility. Though establishing a canon backstory for characters who are supposed to be fully customisable will always create problems (my poor Oblivion PC who wouldn't so much as touch the Dark Brotherhood or the Theives' Guild...damn you, Bethesda)

As for a province...it kind of depends what we go with for the story. Then there's the dilemma that if we do a province that's already been featured in a game, it could get old, but if we do one that hasn't, we don't have much to go on...personally, I think doing something in Elsweyr or Valenwood would be cool, as those places sound like they'd be cool settings from what we do know about them, but we don't have as much information on them as we do the others. And if this is going to involve the Dragonborn becoming the Emperor, that wouldn't make much sense, as both of those provinces are in the Dominion now...

[Shadis]

RAWR! I forgot about the Dominion! I vote we overthrow the Thalmor! I hate those Nazis! 

[Jormungdang]

I'll go with what you decide, so hurry up.

[Shadis]

This is taking too long. I say we wage a hit-and-run style rebellion against the Thalmor in Cyrodil around the time that the game Skyrim takes place, starting with Anvil. We won't have an army, just our little group and what ever damage we can do before we retreat. Remember that lycanthropes are allowed, and rather awesome, especially werewolves. Here is my character:


Name: Morodor Sillonor


Race: High Elf


Age: 50 (Young for a High Elf, who can live hundreds, if not thousands of years)


Class: Pisjic Monk/ Mage


Appearance: An average height High Elf, Morodor is 6' 8'' tall. He has an unimpressive build, his talents more suited for magic than physical combat. He wears the orange robes of the Psijic Monks, and always has his hood on.


Starting Equipment: Psijic Monk robes. Silver Short sword (Because who doesn't like swords?)


Bio: Morodor Sillonor, or just Moro for short, was given to the order of the Psijic Monks when he was just a baby. With these mysterious monks, he trained to be a mage, and wielder of the Old Way: ancient, long extinct magic that allows him a limited degree over the fabric of reality based on his faith. When he was around 50, Moro saw the destruction and cruel hatred the Thalmor inflicted on their foes, and hated them from not allowing freedom of Religion, despite the fact that they are the same species. While he did not worship Talos, he believed that the Thalmor had no right to restrict the worship of that Divine. With his young, foolhardy notions of honor driving him, he secretly left the order of the Psijics on the mysterious isle of Artaeum, and traveled to the Cyrodilic town of Anvil, in hopes of finding some way to stop the Thalmor. His secret weapon: His ability to partially bend reality due to his incomplete knowledge of the Old Ways, the ancient magic known old to the Psijics. While he could use magic unseen to the Thalmor, he has no hope of success unless he finds allies to team up with.




I tried to be as accurate as I could with this character, basing everything off of what I know of Elder Scrolls Lore. If I made a mistake, please let me know. Moro can still use normal magic, like the stuff in the games, but in addition to that, he has the ability to halt time temporarily, bend reality into him existing in a different location (Essentially teleporting, but more complex and exhausting), Making certain objects stop existing for brief periods of time, etc. While this may seem overpowered, know that Moro is inexperienced, so he can used them only on occasion, as anything more would burn him out and kill him. He will also become exhausted after using any one spell from The Old Way. Mostly, he uses normal magic.

Side Note: This is just one of several possible special powers a character could have. Remember that anyone can know the Thu'um, and such skill would be very helpful.

sorry. I lost my password for a few months >.< i intended on keeping this one going so thank you wolf.

NAME: R'Tena
RACE: khajiit
AGE: 20
CLASS: thief
APPEARANCE: very slim, orange-pink fur, uses his slight stature as an advantage to sneak around.  He has long braided hair and gold rins at the ends.
STARTING EQUIPMENT: un attended leather armor (fairly new but was meant to be a model only), a silver dagger, and a steel bow with steel arrows.
BIO: R'tena was once part of the thieves guild, but was forced out when wrongly accused of hoarding more than 75% of the loot based on the fact that he is a khajiit. He then joined a rag time gang of bandots and learned the hard way that life wouldnt get much better for him from there on. The gang went all the way from skyrim to blackmarsh, then down to cyrodyll. R'tena worked his way up to leader of the band and had them stop right outside anvil to hit up the general good store abd ride iut on 5 stolen horses. Of course there were complications. The mark wasnt thrre and the next wealthy looking guy that R'tena saw was a hugh elf who liked like he belonged with the mages guild or the college in whiterun. He knew something was off about this elf and told thr rest of the gang to head out, and to never come back to yhis location. He told them to set out for black marsh and get well acquainted with the shadowscales. R'tena stayed for awhile to check out this odd looking mage and hopef to uncover a few secrets.

[Jormungdang]

Is it ok if I make an apostle of the mad god character?

[Shadis]

I would have no problem with it. Naturally, you wouldn't want to make yourself overpowered, of course. Am I right to assume this elf mage that R'Tena met it my character?
