Okay, so this is a high casual Skyrim roleplay - my first attempt, so kindly run with me on this. EDIT: The co-GM is Leos Klien, so he can answer any questions you have as well as myself. As one would imagine, a main flaw with roleplays based on games is that someone has to be: 'The Chosen One/Dragonborn/The Badass FPS''... you get the gist of it. So, I had developed a plotline that will sort this out: Basically, it is set during the events of the game Skyrim, 4E 201. The Civil War has begun, tensions are high, and of course, the Dragons have returned; with them a Male Nord by the name of Alyx, a Prisoner of Helgen, and the Dragonborn of lore. Unfortunately, Alyx died quite soon after he killed his first dragon, leaving the world without its prophesied Hero to save it. The Greybeards were astounded, the Holds were horrified, and the High Elves... well, they didn't really care; he was a Nord, after all. With the Dragonborn dead, the dragons spread from Skyrim to the other countries of Tamriel, wreaking havoc as they did. However, not all were about to lay down and accept their fate. Countless members of the nations of Tamriel bound together in the country of Skyrim, pledging to work, no matter their race, their religion, or their past, to destroy the dragon menace, defeat Alduin, and save the world from his cruel and hungry maw. That is where you come in. While you are within this group - named 'Dovahfeyn' - you are free to leave and do as you please. Kill dragons along your way - take part in the Civil War, whatever side you wish. Join factions, guilds, brotherhoods; the world is open to you. Just remember... the longer you tarry in your quest, the stronger Alduin becomes. If your group needs you, you must go. Rules: No Godplay. Correct grammar and spelling at all times, please. I'll let small mistakes go, but seriously people, the computer has spellcheck for a reason. IMPORTANT NOTE!: You are NOT Dragonborn! This means that your chances of surviving in the wilderness of Skyrim by yourself are low. If you do wish to go and kill some dragons, do it with allies - you are not invincible. If I see anyone single-handedly killing Blood Dragons, Giants and hosts of Bandits while replenishing health with cheese, I will kill them off, and you'll be restarting everytime in the fiery planes of Oblivion. The same goes to show for the other unrealistic things in Skyrim - you cannot scale a mountain on a horse, shooting someone and then hiding will not make you magically disappear, and no matter how high your sneak skill is, PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU IF YOU ARE STOOD RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. Right, on the basis of how you develop your characters: You can name your own specializations, such as Mage, Warrior, Thief, etc. Just state what skills you're prominent in, and what skills you're not - e.g. a Mage would be specialized in most magics, but not really other things, and smaller thief like people will not have the muscles or strength to do two-handed, heavy armour, smithing, etc.. Also, developing skills and travelling will take time. Travelling from city to city will not take you an hour, it'll take days, if we're doing this realistically. Other than the Dragonborn Quest, any other Quests are still going to be normal - if I make any changes to some of the more major ones (Thieves Guild, Assassins Guild, etc.) I'll let you all know. Character Sheet: Please note that you are permitted to take any of the NPC's from the game and roleplay as them - just ask first, and I'll most likely say yes - just in case you've always wanted to go further with a certain character's storyline or dialogue. Name: ((Something applicable to your race, please.)) Age: ((No younger than 16.)) Race: ((You already know them...I hope.)) Class: ((See above.)) Appearance: ((You can use a picture or description.)) Personality: ((When stating personality here, please carry it over into the roleplay - trust me, sometimes it's tempting to stray.)) Bio: ((Doesn't have to be super in depth, just state why your character joined, basic backstory, aspirations, etc.)) Equipment: ((Any notable weapons, armour, etc, that your character carries. This can include self-made things and spells, just ask me first. Also, make sure your weapons/armour are in line with your Class. A Rogue won't be wearing Ebony Armour.)) Other: ((Any extra information you'd like to add.))
This Roleplay is now closed! However, if you are particularly interested, please PM myself, or either of the two co-GMs (That's Leos Klien, and ManoftheNorth), and we'll notify you if there's been a change. :)

Are we allowed to play some of the more unusual Khajiit subspecies? Like the Alfiq (housecats with huge magical potential) and Senche (intelligent battlecat steeds).

It's High Casual, and yes, subspecies are permitted - however, if I do have some problems, I'll just tell you once I've seen your sign-up.

I. MUST. HAS. CHEEZEBURGER. KHAJIIT. *Kidding.*

I'm actually an avid Elder Scrolls roleplayer and a huge lore buff who is read more information and knowledge on the Elder Scrolls Universe then I would like to admit, and I'm a nostalgic Khajiit fan. I will be applying, if that is still an open option.

Name: Rawlith-Dar (This name does use the often perceived "childish" Khajiit suffix Dar which means "Thief." However the name is only translated into true translation, which in full is "Rain Thief", when he is telling stories of his background long ago. This instance is more specific to when he refers to his deceased wife. Otherwise it is perceived as a tribal name from the northern dunes of Elysweyr.)
Age: 27
Race: Cathay(Lycan: Werelion.)
Class: Spiritual Beastmaster (A spiritual Beastmaster is a Ranger or Beastmaster who has trained himself in the ways of the beastmaster's weapons and skills, everything from one-handed weapons to hunstmen/woodsmen skills, but rather then taking on a normal beast companion[s], he has a natural affinity for Conjuration magic and has learned to summon familiars, but these familiars are different then the standard wolf most novice and apprentice conjurers summon. Thee familiars are unique to the soul of the Caster, they attune to him and are bound to his magical pool. He can have multiples tied to him, as the soul of the lost familiar seeks out a Summoner, and chooses him as a worthy "companion." -- This is quite literally just a lore-based extension of the "Conjure Familiar" Spell that allows a caster's soul to summon more unique and personalized familiars.)

Appearance:


Personality: Rawlith is often calm, quiet, and collective, most often.. But he does have what he refers to as his "True Nature" or "Primal Self." This instance of his personality is his most blunt, true, and "powerful" form of personality. When he enters a rage, or a situation is so dire that it is needed, he becomes a steel-hearted, instinct-driven, intelligent predator and hunter. When he enters this state, he has the raw emotion and nature of the Apex Predator, but the control and intelligence of any sentient being.

Bio: WIP

Equipment: Rawlith's gear is collaboration of himself manifested in his own handiwork. He wears a suit of leather and fur armor, with bonemold plating. The leather and fur forms a simple set of armor. Leather boots, greaves, gauntlets, and a leather trenchcoat conform to the majority of it, with fur lined over the rim of the trenchcoat and placed over the back is a Lion's fur with the head mounted to work as a hood and leather half-helm. The bonemold plating is seen as plates on the Boots, greaves, gauntlets, and ribbed over the torso to an extremely sturdy set of custom Medium armor. His weapons are a pair war axes made out of Mammoth Bone, both are razor sharp and are curved much like hewing axes, but with sturdier blades and handles forged of Skyrim's sturdiest pines. Mammoth bone wouldn't naturally handle the punishment of being a weapon, but thanks to Rawlith's knowledge of bonemold equipment he was able to use the mammoth bones to forge a unique form of Bonemold weapon. These are the same bones in his armor plating.

Other: (May fill in, may not, still debating.)

Huh, two Khajiit. I'm sure this'll be interesting, especially considering one of them can't speak at all. Wonder if other Khajiit can understand Alfiq...

Anyways, gotten too tired to continue for the night. Dumping what I have right now so I can edit it later on. I'll work on making this be less bad tomorrow.

Yes actually, as Khajiit are sentient no matter their form they still have intelligence and can communicate. The non-verbal species(Alfiq, Alfiq-Raht, Pahmar, Pahmar-Raht, Senche, Senche-Raht, and possibly the Tojay and it's Raht equivalent.)are capable of communicating using advanced versions of normal feline communications. This means the verbal species of Khajiit not only understand them through a racial link, but also that the Khajiit are able to understand their non-verbal-selves through the use of Body language, vocal creations, and pheromone releases.

Now, if you aren't one for writng what I like to call "Natural Speech" through those forms of non-verbal communication, you can use telepathy of the Gms permit it. The Alfiq are magicka-inclined after all. If they spend the years to learn it, they could actually gain telepathy. Though know this for future reference, Telepathy is a conjuration spell, and is n fact a spell that most be cast before use. It isn't a heavy duty spell that requires tons of magicka, but it is one that is complex to learn and complex to hold for a long duration after casting.

Oh, that's actually great news! Thanks for the info.

I am fine with writing that kind of communication, I knew what I was getting myself in when I decided to play an Alfiq. Probably not going to go with telepathy at the start the RP, though I am thinking of using a heavily modified Noise spell (Illusion) as a crude method of communicating basic ideas. Think the carvings from DaS1/2.

Noise could work, granted the Gms ok it.(I don't mean to say this repeatedly to imply it is a sketchy idea, but only to ensure they don't think I'm stepping on toes.) Noise spells could be molded and made into new forms to work like that, just remember how they work and how much they drain the caster. ^^ I love spell users myself and I have made Alfiq and Alfiq-Raht time & time again. I only say the things I do because it can be a pain to see people play spell-casters without lore-equal effects of Magicka draining and fatigue.

Name: Valerion Draviis
Age: Unknown but there has been odd sightings of a man of this description from as long as 400 years ago.
Race: Breton
Class: Necro-Knight( Specilises in Necromancy and dark magics, but is a fearsome wielder of a 2 handed blade and wears heavy armour)
Appearance:

Personality: Manipulative, malicious, cold, twisted and enjoys a nice glass of port with his meals. This man is the manifestation of an upper class sociopath.
Other than the fact that he is a very evil person and won't stop at murdering someone in order to achieve his goals he does however see the point in keeping the masses alive and without fear of his existence for this generally complicates life for Valerion and after all these years alive he has learnt a great deal in making others like him, or appreciate him being alive. So whilst his real personality is that of a demon, the one he shows is that of a nice person, happy and cheerful but he generally only shows that amongst the commoners. If he is with a group of people that can handle themselves he lets his true side show.
Bio: Valerion has spent the majority of his life in Cyrodil, but travels back to his homeland of High Rock every now and then. He enjoys it in Cyrodil the diverse culture and people is something he enjoys, both him and his other side; Just like wines are different so are souls and Bretons souls can grow quite stale after constantly consuming them.
This is one of the major sides to Valerion that few people know about until its too late. He steals souls in order to continue living. He either does this by using soul gems that are full, or using his spell Goethia which tears the recipients soul from their body and he then absorbs it. The length of time he accumulates from each method is as follows.
Soul gems-24 hours (Regardless of size)
Black soul gems-48 hours
Goethia- 5 days
And he can siphon souls from the dead around him, each dead body is one hour.
2 things caused this ability to arise. The first is his insatiable quest for strength and absolute power. And the second was his fear of death.
Valerion one day wishes to become the Daedric Prince of Death and so he studies it with great enthusiasm. For a great deal of his time he has lived amongst necromancers within cyrodil, using them to achieve his own ends and further increasing his knowledge of the dark art of Necromancy. However the necromancers were all killed in a purge at the beginning of the 4th era and Manimarrco was one of them. With that Valerion decided to seclude himself in a abandoned fort in the Jeral mountains which was just near a trade route between Cheydinhal and Bruma.
He caused this route to become infamous as traders and travelers would frequently go missing along it, sometimes even mercenary caravans that numbered in the 20's still vanished never to be seen again. This continued for about 190 years, the cause was never discovered and one day the route became safe again, the threat and evil that loomed over it seemingly vanished over night.

The only reason for this was because Valerion felt that he had exhausted his methods and knowledge of Necromancy and he craved for some fresh air and to walk amongst the people once again.
He traveled to numerous places all over Cyrodil, with the stray drunk being found dead in a ditch a night later from his arrival, thankfully drunks tended to befall tragedy quite often so suspicion never arose by his presence; although his attire did attract attention and queer looks, but other than that Valerion was treat like any other person.

It wasn't till 4E 201 that Valerion felt that his precense was needed elsewhere. Reports of dragons on the border to the Imperial Occupied Skyrim started spreading throughout Cyrodil. This piqued Valerions interest, it'd been hundreds of years since anything worthy of note had happened and the fact that this Dragon Born; he decedent to Tiber Septim himself had died brought severe disappointment to him as that soul would surely have brought him closer to his end goal of Prince hood.
But when some doors close new ones open, Valerian decided to head for Skyrim and tackle the growing Dragon threat for that amount of power he'd assume from their souls would surely benifit him.
Equipment: His armour is called- "Deaths Regal Wear" Whilst the majority of it is padded velvet the other pieces of his armour is a Ebony-Moonstone composite. This is how it receives it's Dark grey and yet shiny sheen, it is also etched with gold in various points. The armour itself is what one would associate with a medium armour, it's quite light but offers protection to the important parts and good mobility to boot.
He carries a large claymore- a large 3-foot 2 handed blade that is made from tempered steel and heavily enchanted, it steals life force from the enemy on the other side of the blade and chills their body, numbing sense and bringing them one step closer to the fires of Oblivion.
For this reason it's named "Frost-bite". He also carries an array of knowledge in summoning and necromancy magics, he can ring back the fallen around him to fight for him as well as call dremora and daedra from the planes of Oblivon. His most used spell however is Goetia (Pronunciation- Go-ee-tia) This tears the soul from the other being, even if he fails to do so because the other foe is too strong the damage is massive. The sheer mental and physical trauma sustained from the process almost makes the other person wish for death. This can be used on Dragons too.
Other: Enjoys High society and has a lot of gold to his name, accumulation of great deal of time has made him very rich. But he is conservative in its use.
Valerion is slowly dying, he requires souls to continue living, every day he goes without absorbing a soul causes him to wither, bones grow weak, eyesight becomes weak and his heart beats slower... after 1 week he will get desperate and take anyone's soul, innocent or otherwise, be it in the middle of a city or in the wilderness it matters not.
Because he is technically not alive, restoration magic is useless on him.

Hey guys, thanks for your sign-ups, they're all accepted. Ngoc, that idea for communication is fine - I also love your and ManoftheNorth's variations of Khajiit - but if you just want simple telepathy that's fine as well, as opposed to actually using magic for it.
Just a reminder that we'll be starting as soon as we have 6 RPers - so spread the news! Oh, and there's no limit on your characters, as long as they're all active.
