Nothing glaring in this sheet, I actually quite like it. My one nitpicky pedantic thing is that I thought that given name was in the Dragon Language or something. But then I found out it was just Swedish with apostrophes shoved into it. Varg is wolf in Swedish, just so you know, btw. Anywho, it's okay to take those apostrophes away. You have my half of the approval, now we must wait for Gcold to rise again from his deep slumber come the distant morn.


I dropped the first apostrophe in Varg, but I prefer the last one in t'uk, supposed to be a heavier drawl on the <u>, but I believe I did know that it meant wolf, I'm familiar with a lot of words like that, either way, it's still good to know what it means (: so maybe her name means Wolf-tooth?

Is it supposed to be pronounced 'turk'? If it is, maybe it should be spelt 'tök'. Assuming that's what you mean by a 'heavier drawl'.

Not quite, more like "took" or "tuuk", if that makes any sense?

I don't have a problem with that. You just have to say how she earned it, as she doesn't hail from one of the distinguished Clans like Grey-Mane or Cruel-Sea. Maybe she earned it somehow, but remember Nordic names are meaningful but simple, they don't insist upon themselves...mostly...it's common to see names like Thrice-Pierced, Once-Honored, Stonefist, names like that. They tell of the deeds and reputation, or any great wounds, even or just something about the person without being lel edgy like Beorn the Destroyer.

Even the most badass Vikings and Norsemen through history had underwhelmingly literal names like Snake-in-the-Eye(because of a curious abnormality in his eye), Boneless(because he was unable to walk) and perhaps the most famous, Lothbrok. Sounds cool in Norse, but it just means hairy-breeches because he wore pants made from fur.

Ah, well I figured that her family, being as reclusive as they are, tucked away in Falkreath, would have a strange, uncommon name. But I think I can come up with a crafty explanation.

@gcold, @Leidenschaft Finally, I think my character is ready. I have expanded his biography to include a reason for his name and updated his skills list and equipment. I have slightly altered the wording in the Skills section to make it more sensible.

Getting my beauty sleep, yo.

Since Leiden's playing the good cop and accepting everybody, I'll play the bad cop and annoy y'all with nitpicking.

@ClocktowerEchos Do not add in skills without my notice. You may keep the woodworking, but please revert speech back to apprentice. This is all that stands between Lucex and acceptance.

@oak7ree Felix's background and personality are both very short. If you have trouble getting more content down, I would start by extrapolating on what you have so far. For example; how did he get that scar on his face? How did he get drunk and found his way to Markarth? Where did that Griffon emblazoned shield come from?

Also, leave a line between each paragraph, it'll make reading easier.

@MacabreFoxFirst of all, you should also space paragraphs, same deal as Oak7ree.

Second, I would like you to link her apperance directly to the picture, Pinterest can be tricky to navigate. I would try this link; https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d6/bf/41/d6bf4109a0bde8d355eb582962888f6e.jpg.

Regarding her sister's name, do you think Leiliana is a Nordic name? I could see it being derived from “Liliana”, which in turn can be derived from the Greek “Lily”. However, Greek names are generally assigned to Imperials and High Elves. Another source is “Leila”, which is Semitic.

How did she get her horse? Please explain in your background. Beside that, her personality is fairly short. The first paragraph is primarily her outlook on the world, and I want to see you expand the second paragraph.

@Sovi3t Genes are no substitute for exercise. No lift = no guns. Also, the average Redguard man is 6'1, not 6'4.

There are lots of spelling and grammar mistakes. Read everything over and do your best to reduce them. I'll be honest with you, the caliber of your sheet is on the edge between casual and advance. So, you need to really convince that it fits in this category.

This sentence; “Bascero approached the parents of Bascero and asked them if they would be interested with their son joining the Synod. “. Do you mean Bascero asked his parents about Jonimar, or did he ask Jonimar's parents? Confused wording like this happens more than once in the sheet, again, re-read and convince me you can edit.

I found the third-to-last paragraph in your background to be incredibly confusing. Rewrite and make it clearer.

Another thing to note is how did Jonimar know what's happening within the Synod HQ? Did he intercept letters or something?

Like Leiden said before, his weaknesses are more like quirks. Besides being wanted, everything else are easily countered.

Look man, if this is the final product, it'll be rejected. I'm giving you this week as second chance. Take your time and make something that will convince me of your improvement.

So in short the content is there just the mistakes and grammar are lacking, right.
Also improve weakness's and improve sentence structure to make sense.

Ha, "Imperial Crossdresser". :P

You realise that now we're going to have somehow engineer a scenario which would require Lucex to put his crossdressing ability to good use? Otherwise it'll just seem like a Red Herring, and you can't just say it was a joke now that everyone's drawn so much attention to it. :V

I'm completely expecting that to come into play at some point. The crossdressing part I planned to have some use unlike the enchantment on his hood that makes it be better at being purple.
