@POOHEAD189

A bounty hunter? I'm sure him and Brynn will get along just fine. I'm also not really, but kind of surprised, that there aren't as many dangerous criminals being submitted. Most of them are thieves or got picked up because of a bar brawl or somesuch. Macro's character, Berich, is one that Brynn could totally talk to, seeing as the man has/had wealth and is in the market for people willing to get their hands bloody for him for a price.

[POOHEAD189]

@LeidenschaftMy guy might not be a criminal, but he's not someone who respects any kind of class. He's got an intelligent mind, but he's a beast on the hunt and doesn't mind getting his hands bloody

[DJAtomika]

@Dervish You ass. Just when I thought Mass Effect wasn't enough.

Interest.

I do have an ass, yes.

@POOHEAD189

That sounds a little bit like a criminal, but I guess we'll wait and see. You do you.

@Leidenschaft

I may have gone overboard with the amount of crimes Berich has under his belt

@Macro

Well, a man with money and a mindset like that is definitely going to accrue that many crimes.

[Spoopy Scary]

I was initially going to make an underworld merchant type, but the computer crashed and I had to go to work. When I came home, someone already made a merchant character.

Sad face.

@Spoopy Scary

Don't fret about what others are doing, if you have an idea for a character, feel free to write it up! I'd rather people make characters they want to play rather than trying to fit an arbitrary role; it's a lot easier to feel invested in an idea if you weren't forced to do something that wasn't your idea choice.

Plus, depending how many sheets we get submitted, some are going to be regrettably turned down and likely put into a roster to call upon if people drop out. It's entirely possible one, both, or neither of the merchant characters will make the initial selection.

I don't want to sound doom and gloom or imply that you're wasting your time, because even people I know and played before are going into this with a clean slate without preferential treatment or prejudice. Best thing anyone can do is make sure the quality's top notch, and even if people don't make the initial selection, I will contact them (if they choose) as soon as a slot opens up.

My last RP, which is still ongoing, had a problem where I wanted to see how manageable it would be to accept everyone's sheets, which were all pretty darn good, and ended up having to try to manage the clusterfuck of 16 characters. I'd rather avoid that again, because these games do not lend themselves well to huge numbers of characters. >_>

[POOHEAD189]

I have a question. I cannot find an Argonian lifespan anywhere, and I hear that they might be long lived because they consume the Hist sap, so is it alright if I make my Argonian as if he is an Altmer (in terms of age)?

@Dervish

Oh, it's not that bad. True, it would be neat to work on the idea that I had, that was a character I had already made before and I wanted to elaborate on even further, but this also gives me an opportunity to exercise another idea I had. I don't know if this kid will work or "click" with me, but I would definitely like to give it a shot.

@POOHEAD189

I remember reading that Argonian and Khajiit lifespans are similar to humans if not a bit shorter. If Argonians were as long lived as Altmer, it would be noted in their UESP page very plainly.

@Spoopy Scary

By all means.

[POOHEAD189]

@LeidenschaftI know Khajit's do, but that's the thing. I cannot find anything anywhere on how old an Argonian can become. But whenever I find a forum that has a speculated Argonian lifespan, it's always 150-250 years.
I won't become argumentative lol, it's just what I have found so far.

@POOHEAD189

Always try to err on the side of established lore. No one in the games ever comments on the long lifespans of Argonians. I like to avoid forums these days, they can get pretty batshit fuckstupid.

[POOHEAD189]

@LeidenschaftI agree. It's just with the Hist and the fact reptiles live long in our world in general, plus the fact there is no established lore for their life expectancy...
But, if you say to make it the same as a human life, then I'll go ahead and put that down. Pardon

Jex

Jex

Bounty Hunter

Name: Jex

Race: Argonian

Family Origins: Born within the Black Marsh with his hatchmates, at the base of a blood soaked Hist tree. Raised as a hunter and Guerrilla fighter.

Appearance:

My Hider

Jex is a strange Argonian. Most of his slippery race has wiry muscle and sunken faces. Jex is taller than the average Argonian, with muscles more akin to an Orc than his brethren. His scales are a mixture of moss green and red, like a red slider turtle. He has ridges along his scales, giving him a fierce, bestial, and intimidating look. He'd be close to 6 and a half feet standing erect, though that hardly ever happens. He generally moves with a hunched gate, and often crouches. He has a powerful tail with ridges that match those upon his back and forearms.


Age: 34

Equipment:

• Steel Armor
• Iron Guantlets
• Leather breeches
• Dwarven Bow (retrieved from the Dwemer ruins)
• Orcish BattleAxe
• 42 Steel Arrows

Miscellaneous: 2 Healing potions, 1 Antidote potions, 4 pounds of jerky.

Favored Skills: Highly Proficient (Marksman, Two Handed), Moderately Proficient (Hand-to-Hand, Sneak), Somewhat Proficient (Athletics, Heavy Armor)

Crime Committed: Was paid to kill a Breton simply by the name of Bedoryan, whom he later found out was a vassal of the Count.

Character Background: Hatched in Blackmarsh, the one who would be known as Jex consumed some of the Hist sap as per custom, to determine who he would be in this life. It was as fate had it, that there had been a bit of blood mixed in with the sap. Perhaps from some predatory kill close to the Hist tree. Jex consumed it, giving his scales a reddish hue along half of his body. Perhaps it effected his size and fierce appearance as well.

It had worked with him before. He made his way into the Imperial city and tracked down an Orc fugitive, battling him viciously and deciding to not take the money for killing him, deciding that taking the Orc's axe was payment enough. Plus it was good business and advertisement. A free bounty.

He made his way towards Hammerfell and lived in Skaven for a time, working for Orc chieftan after Orc chieftan, making sure to never get into personal politics and enjoying the challenge he would get from chasing after Orcs. The one in the Imperial City had been the fight of his life, and he wanted more of it. He was one day, surprisingly given an honor by one clan, they recognizing the Axe he now wielded. Apparently the Orc from the Imperial city had been a murderer in that clan as well and fled their justice. After a few years living among them, he felt restless once more and went north, receiving a contract finding one Breton named Bedoryan, before he was imprisoned for it. The third time in captivity. Only a matter of time before he would escape once again...

Fighting Style: Tends to pick off enemies at a distance from a surprise vantage point, or at least wound them, before closing in with his Axe to execute them. However, that's not to say he needs to. He just enjoys the feeling of a good shot, and prey felled without them seeing him coming. It's why he uses traps as well. He's swift and fierce with his battle Axe, and he can fight versatile. He'll drop his Axe mid-fight and attack with his claws if very swift attacks are needed, for example. Or use his spiked and heavy tail for a surprise blow or trip up. At his core, he is beastial, and won't hesitate to rend someone with his claws and corded muscles if need be, leaping with his powerful legs.

Personality: Jex a born hunter. Patient, cunning, but brutal in his efficiency and tactics. He tends to think like a beast, doing his best not to become soft by indulging in many of society's social pastimes, though he'll not mind the occasional chat here or there. In fact he sometimes enjoys it, to add variety to his often solitary life. But he has a single minded determination for the hunt, and seethes with a simmering anger that keeps him going. He is determined, fierce, but savvy when it comes to business.

Font Colour: Tannish red 993300

Well I see someone's already made an Argonian bounty hunter. Though tanky.

I shall be importing a character I've already made into the mix, an Argonian thief slash hunter. Female, lightweight, and prefers a bow and daggers. to a heavy sword.
