I don't know who, I don't know when, and I don't know how...
But somebody is going to reference anime. I ding-dong-diddly guarantee it.
I mean, Shaft's a turboweeb, I wouldn't put it past him. ;D

Once we make it out of here, we're either going to find ourselves suddenly behind enemy Dwemer territory, or we're going to come out with a secret of the Dwemer we had not know previously. Also it is unknown if Rhea's gonna kick the bucket.

I hope my post brought this about.
Behind Enemy Lines starring Owen Wilson is clearly what we're emulating. Bamboozled again!
Actually, it was less your post and moar it's what we do in these games for shits & giggles. We've had an ogre named Nigel Thornsberry who liked to yell "smashing!" While throwing rocks at people, a band of bandits named after Robin Hood's merry band, a mercenary leader named after Bane's real name, and a bunch of other stuff. Keep your eyes peeled; some are gonna be subtle.

Daro'Vasora is gonna die and it'll be revealed that Rhea is the actual character you intend to be playing.
Why?
Starting simply, it's an interest plot twist for sure, and it'd to a good job of exemplifying the lethality that all of our characters face.
Additionally, you've attempted to use/are using Daro'Vasora's sheet in different RPs, so it wouldn't be a heavy amount of work thrown into a character that's going to end up dying right towards the start of the adventure.
Also, you've described Rhea in great detail in favor of several other NPCs, and while she is clearly being made out to be a supporting NPC with a fairly important role, the meticulous description of her character seems to imply that she's going to be in it for the long haul. Hence, I do not believe that she's going to die any time soon, but it feels appropriate that someone should. Daro'Vasora is the best candidate.
Gosh, I'm starting to think you're taking a method acting approach to your character and just want the cat to die, you Thalmor jerk you! ;D
Definitely an interesting take! I will say that the main reason we have Rhea as a major and pivotal NPC is to fill the roll of GM surrogate. We found in prior games, our GM PCs ended up shifting dramatically from their concepts because players tended to make them leader characters in the group dynamic because they're played by the people guiding the plot. Rhea's our attenpt to have a character that drives the plot and hopefully acts as someone you as players enjoy, and who knows? She may get promoted to full PC status if things go well!
That said, you will find that we do get very in depth with our NPCs and there will be posts entirely from other characters, including antagonists, as if they were PCs. Helps make them feel more real and compelling, me thinks.
And player deaths are definitely something that could happen. Who knows? Maybe Sora's on her 8th of 9 lives and doesn't know it yet. ;D
D:
I vehemently object a Daro'Vasora death!
*GRUMBLES INTENSIFY*
I referenced GoT in my first post. Kinda XD
"What do we say to the God of Death?"
"Not today," she muttered...
Oh, look! Attachment. Now I have a reason to murder off characters, 'cuz I want to add to my list of players I made cry. :)
I fully expect an Aliens reference at some point during our subterranean horror adventure.
Who's gonna play Hicks?
