[OOC] The Elder Scrolls: Rage of the Waves

[babbysama]

What is the current roster of posted CSes ATM? I'm thinking of making either a Dunmer or Redguard spellsword or an Imperial conjurer and scholar, but just want to make sure there's not already someone like that up in this.

[idlehands]

Just do what you feel inspired to make.

What'd you say about my mother, punk?

[Hank]

I edited Maulakanth's personality a little to integrate your suggestions, @Lo Pellegrino.

@Hank

I'm honoured and glad it resonated with you! I am quite the fan of your work.

If anyone wants to tell me their 2 cents about Faruq I am very receptive as well!

[POOHEAD189]

@Lo PellegrinoI can give him a look tonight, my friend.

[Dervish]

Everyone's giving each other feedback, and I'm just here, staring at the calendar, waiting for Friday to roll along.

[idlehands]

@Lo PellegrinoI would not mind some feedback. It has been a while since I did a group RP with lengthy character sheets. Keeping in mind its still a WIP and I will return the favor.

[Leidenschaft]

I'm starting to think mines bad because no ones sayin anything about it. There's still some things I want to elaborate on and edit.

[DearTrickster]

@Lo Pellegrino I reread your sheet a few times and Faruq is well rounded. The first thing I noticed right off the bat is that you decided not to name his mother and mentor. Is that a stylistic choice or is there another reason?

Even though you didn't explicitly say it - it feels like Faruq once saw his mentor's addiction as a terrible thing he promised he would never dip into. Now years later battling his own case of PTSD does he seem ashamed of using it. Like an addict deep in denial. "What? I'm only using it to sleep. I'm not addicted."

Despite being seemingly well adjusted he has this potential for development. rubs wee little hands I'm excited to see how he deals with the others who are just about as morally bankrupt as they can get. :>

If you want I can throw my two cents in for Brynn :>

@Leidenschaft

I wasn't going to say anything, but it literally was worse than the Dragon-Werewolf Hybrid and the Dwemer AI combined.

I thought it was original and inspired but questioning the lore friendliness of whiskey. ;)

But seriously, him and Cedric are fantastic!

@idlehands

Oh, you're just saying that. ;D

[POOHEAD189]

@idlehandsI skimmed her earlier but I can give some feedback tonight as well.

@mods (and everyone interested) I've edited Jex a bit, and I'll probably add a few more things tonight. Mainly elaborating on stuffs.

Naming these figures was a big question for me. I had a few character concepts in mind, but I decided to develop this young, noble knight idea further. To that end it made sense to not name the mother so her image might be left to just that -- the picturesque mother of a seemingly idyllic hero. This is a pretty big departure from my character in Resurgence of the Frost, who was raised by a Windhelm-based drug dealer that really left a life-long mark. When it comes to the mentor, I didn't name him for two reasons: 1) the mentor worked made an effort to not be known, 2) I see a story of his own for this mentor and wanted to keep separation. I'm still not sure if I made the right choice for the mentor!

I'm right with you! Players from RotF saw the mentor, Juin, begin using moon sugar and skooma. For Juin it was about quieting his vampiric hunger, which materialized as demented voices should the hunger grow too strong. By the time Faruq meets Juin this gone down hill and it's unclear whether he's mad, constantly high, or if Faruq simply hears the outlandish stories and assumes either. In my mind Faruq doesn't know why Juin uses moon sugar -- he probably doesn't know Juin's even a vampire. It makes sugar seem less dangerous than it really is and I think you hit the nail on the head that seedy company and new stress will reveal quite a lot about Faruq's use and his anger.

@idlehands & @Leidenschaft I'll review yours and @dervish too tonight or tomorrow. I enjoy taking a deeper look into each character, and definitely enjoy seeing what everyone has to say as well!

[POOHEAD189]

I always love the young noble knight ideal. I feel like people think it's so mainstream that they don't use it, so it becomes edgy again lol.

Btw, I think we should repost our CS's just so they aren't all lost in the thread. I know I'll repost mine tonight after I edit a bit more.

Care to point out anything glaring?

That's the nicest thing you ever said to me
