Ah, but on rare occasions, the Bean doesn't always die.
For example: Ronin, Percy Jackson, Troy, and National Treasure.

tbh Martin was kinda shit

Emperor for all of two seconds before stealing the spotlight by turning into a fucking dragon.

I guess singlehandedly liberating Kvatch and destroying all know Oblivion Gates didn't matter any more at that point.


I can see the history lessons taught in Imperial City like three decades later.

"Professor, I have a question about our textbook's chapter on the Oblivion Crisis."

"What is it?"

"The Champion of Cyrodiil is never mentioned by name... let alone race, or gender. And some claim they were also the Hero of Kvatch. What gives?"

"Talk out of turn again, young man, and I'll be forced to teach you a lesson in pain with my belt. Understood? Thought so."

Sometimes, the Reaper has a weekend off. Or is distracted by butterflies.

4 movies in a library of a metric shitload isn't very encouraging for ol' Beany Boy.

You also missed The Martin.

Well, at least they got a statue in the Imperial city and hten went on to mantle Sheogorath (if you consdier that canon that is) so I say that htey got off pretty well from teh Oblivion Crisis

@gcold Good news, I actually won't be going out of town.


Take-out and TV beats traveling vacation, eh?

Any thoughts for how an oddball Dunmer battlemage might conceivably make her debut?


Our group won't be staying in Windhelm forever, and they certainly will perform tasks outside of their contract. Your character doesn't have to sign up as a mercenary, or even meet with the rest of us in Windhelm. Here's some suggestions for getting yourself in with the group. Of course, that's assuming she has reasons to travel to Skyrim in the first place.

  • Being wealthy, she might be looking to hire contractors for purposes such as protection, manual labor, getting even with rivals or going after artifacts she doesn't trust standard hirelings to handle.
  • She accidentally runs into the company, and decide to stick with them for safety (more armed guys = less robbery %) and/or companionship.
  • She has a friend or rival working as a mercenary, and for whatever reason, wants to find them. @Hank's character was a Redoran battlemage, and @Peik's dude did slave raiding in northern Black Marsh. You can even make your own NPC.
  • Malevolent intents. For example, your character needs lab rats "volunteers" for experiments, or perhaps she wants use the mercenaries as scapegoats for her own crimes. For the sake of balance, something like that won't act out quickly or smoothly. Your character could start by gaining the company's trust, then have second thoughts betraying them once she got to know them.

I think you mean Bruma, 'cause in Imperial City it's just the Avatar of Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon's rocky, solidified forms. As far as I remember, nothing actually shows up that's related to your character in Imperial City. o.o

Hmmm, my knowledge of Oblivion is a bit rusty, so it's entirely possible that I got it wrong and that the statue was in Bruma after after all. The point is that they got a statue and, at the end, became a Daedric Prince (if, once again, you consider the events of Shivering Isles as canon)

Pretty sure they put a statue in Kvatch as well when they rebuilt the place.

Uh, Hello!

I hope you've still got some room in here as I've been eying up this RP for a little while now, just like Mono (in fact she linked it to me for viewing). I guess I'm sorta a buy one get one free in this regard, as my character is planned to be tied to hers as a bodyguard whilst she potters about Skyrim.

So, is there room for a grumpy old ex-Ordinator born in pre-Nerevarine Morowind, who hasn't changed a jot from the old standard of delightful Dunmer xenophobia and racism, and who's body is pretty much held together through a mixture of scar tissue and restoration magic?

Hey there! Glad Mono dragged in another piece of fresh meat friend. It's good hear our game got around through words of mouth. I'm happy to have your interest.

As for any believable advanced RP (even fantasy ones), their characters should steer clear of extremes. I can't give a through judgment yet, based on your concept, but I can offer you these tips.

  • A regular elf lives three times the human lifespan. This means a Dunmer over the age of 200 is very old. It is the equivalent of a human over the age of 65. Just keep that in mind, as cane-swinging action-grandpas are untypical on both Earth and Tamriel.
  • With old age comes wisdom, and coming in all the way from third era fills you up with a lot of knowledge. Remember that our characters are not all-knowing, even the scholarly types. Though the limit on knowledge is blurrier than combat skills, we nevertheless want no walking encyclopedias.
  • Personality. I have no problem with a grumpy old fart, as long as is he capable of interactions and development.


Again, welcome. Don't be afraid to ask if you have questions.

@gcold So to give a bit of insight regarding Mono's character, as she's hinted that we've worked something out. Sevine, Leif, and her character served in the same squadron as them. In fact, the three of them were a bunch of kick-asses on the battle field. Sevine even used to share a tent with her, and Leif, of course, tried to woo her (he's kept in touch with her more than Sevine has). As long as every detail is worked out flawlessly, I hope there won't be any problems with that.

Also, I've got my portion done in Ether.

@MiddleEarthRoze

Where have you gone my love D: Sevine and Rhasha are awaiting us!

I've taken that into account, he'll certainly not be as fast and strong as he was in his youth, but then again he'll have lots of experience in bashing in peoples skulls over his long life, so it'll balance out a bit. Admittedly whilst it's true that action-grandpa's are reasonably rare, there are examples such as European knights which - if they didn't get killed in war or die of disease- were in pretty damn good nick well into their sixties and seventies, The same can be said for this guy, especially because he's an adept at restoration magic.

Well, he's been around and seen a lot, but no I don't plan on him being a font of knowledge... a font of old timey racial bias, Tribunal theology and some amusing war stories maybe, but he's not gunna know everything. He's more likely to mutter about how back in his day Khajiit made great winter fashion accessories than deliver expert lectures on the history of Daedric Princes.

Personality. I have no problem with a grumpy old fart, as long as is he capable of interactions and development.


Pretty much open to it, although I do plan on keeping the delightfully antiquated attitude.
