[OOC] The Elder Scrolls V: Cycle of War

[CATS3688]

Yea, Gladron's bio has him offering his services to both sides, so I put him with the Stormcloaks to make the numbers even. I imagine he's working for them as a mercenary, though the exact nature of the relationship is up to the RPer.

[Izaka Sazaka]

Wondering if it's too late to put up a character sheet for this?

[CATS3688]

Nope. We can work you in if you want to join.

[Mortarion]

Hey Cats, I got a question are the events of the Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs going to affect the RP? Be it in their plot or something as small as some of the items they introduced? Or not?

[CATS3688]

They might, we'll just see where the RP goes. As for the new items, sure, although most of the Dragonborn items would be found only on Solstheim anyways, and the only "new" item from Dawnguard that I could see being of much significance is the crossbow.

[Mortarion]

Ah, alright and I was asking since I was planing on my char to practice a bit of Conjuration later on in the RP and I like some of the Conjuration spells from Dragonborn and since my character is from Windhelm he could ask one of his Argonian friends to get him the items. Anyways, getting ahead of myself lol, thanks for your time Cats.

Name: Galen 'Urik' Gallatin

Gender: Male

Race: Breton

Age: 28

Allegiance: Stormcloaks

Skills: Alteration, Destruction, Conjuration, Illusion

Equipment: Tattered Noble's Robes (Magicka Regen), Silver Shortsword, Blood-Rite Ring (Fortify Speechcraft)

Background: As the second son of a formerly prominent noble family hailing from High Rock, Galen has recently fallen on hard times. His family was caught up in a series of political machinations in relation to plotting against the empire and as a result their land and titles were stripped away. Galen's family was executed, but he himself managed to escape to the neighboring province of Skyrim. Armed with his experience in the realms of magic and politics, Galen is determined to wreak as much havoc for the empire as possible, while also netting as much fortune as he can in the process and while he is not exactly interested in the Stormcloak's goals per se, he is more than interested in their means, willing to lend his aid only so long as they oppose the imperial agenda.

Personality: Driven by revenge, Galen's inner fires are fueled by his obsession over his family's death. His only wish is to see the empire burn to the ground and he's willing to go to any means to achieve his goal. This stated, his means are usually more subtle than would be expected. He prefers the route of the politician, bending and manipulating others to fight for a cause they really have no interest in, resorting to force only when absolutely necessary.

Excellent posts from everyone! Looking forward to reading more posts from the Imperial side. I think Enalais wins the best first post award though, based solely on your reference to "The Lusty Argonian Maid." God, that had me laughing. If, at some point in the RP, we can have an Argonian character slip in a line from the book, I'll probably just die on the spot.

Also, Izaka, if you read my latest post, I left a spot for your character to make an entrance as "the final member of our little army down the road". Welcome aboard!

Name: Lleos Salmyoni

Race: Dunmer

Age: 30

Skills: One handed, destruction, light armor, security.

Equipment: Steel long sword, Leather armor, lock picks (12), minor healing potions (4)

Background: Lleos was born and raised in the city of Solitude, being outcasted for his dark complexion. He found solace in magic and his father lessons in combat. Being a member of the Imperial Legion, he had years of experience to pass on to his son, years leader during routine tour his fathers regiment was attacked by the forsworn

That day Lleos dedicated himself to his studies and practices. He had dreamed of one day adventuring across Tamriel, finding the next big treasure, saving the damsel in distress and stopping those who would purposely hurt others. when he became of age left home heading towards Whiterun for the Companions guild in hopes he may receive training, on day dreaming he would honor his father memorie.

Appearance: Lleos is fair skin for his race, his medium length; hair parted over his eyes. Eyes red as is common with others of his race.

Personality: Lleos is light hearted, he can be young and brash but his loyalty to his friends in nie unwavering. Raised in Skyrim Lleos see’s Skyrim as his home taking pride in it’s accomplishments. He is no fan of the Stormcloaks While he would like a stronger Skyrim he does not like the blatant racism they have towards his race or others (also being the son of an Imperial Soldier doesn’t help either.)

[CATS3688]

Yea, uh, no posts from any of the other Imperial characters yet.... weird. But hey, if it ends up being a Stormcloak-only RP, then it's still an ES RP so I'm happy lol. The two new applications are accepted. I assume Lleos is siding as an Imperial, if so I'll work him in if/when the other RPers find time to post :p

[Red Wizard]

I'm working on it, no problem :)

[shivershiver]

Cats, if worst comes to worst and not enough Imperials end up posting, we could have everyone meet up in Korvanjund where they could receive a speech from the Stormcloaks so inspirational and badass, they're compelled to fight alongside the Stormcoloaks. Or something like that :D

[josephb]

I've made a character if you're still accepting, hopefully it's okay.

Name: Fendryn Omaren

Gender: Male

Race: Dunmer

Age: 57

Skills: Forging, Speechcraft, Marksman, One Handed.

Equipment: Leather armour, a huge olive cloak with a hood, a long bow and 30 iron arrows, and two steel short swords.

Background: Fendryn was raised in the city of Cheydinhal, were he worked for his father who owned a blacksmithing company. Since an early age he had been learning how to use the forge and how to create all types of weapons and armour. When he turned fifteen his father thought that he was a friendly enough person to become the salesman when his dad was busy and he became good at bartering with the customers. In his spare time he practised with all the weapons that he was creating and stood out in dual wielding two short swords and using the bow. A few years later his dad lost a bet, were he gambled a lot of his money and his shop to another business owner. They had lost everything and would soon lose the house having no way to pay the ever increasing taxes that Cheydinhal were demanding. Fendryns father became depressed and started drinking, a few weeks later was found dead, after he stumbled into one of the ponds and drowned.

Having nothing left, Fendryn sold his house, barely making any money due to the unpaid bills and he decided to leave. He gathered a few bits of equipment first, which he bought with the last of his money, and headed off looking for jobs. He learned how to hunt animals so he could survive in the wilds. Fendryn turned to mercanary work when he became bored of endlessly roaming the wilds.

When he was 40 he signed up for the mercenary company “The Hundred Hounds.” He was accepted for his wide range of skills. He was mainly used as a scout finding weak spots that the contracts had and finding the quickest route through the forests, sometimes when they needed him to fix their armour and weapons. He became the right hand man of the leader, an old imperial called Quintus Jannus. They are being paid by the Imperial Legion.

Appearance: Fendryn stands around 6 foot with un-kept charcoal black hair that comes to his neck and has massive shoulders and very physically fit. The shade of his skin is dark blue. His nose is larger than average dunmers, which is bent from the amount of times he’s broken it. He has little scars all over his body, from his encounters with animals in the Forrest, but none are that noticeable. He is like every Dunmer and has red eyes. He has ten black gems pierced through his left ear in a row, for no other reason than he likes the look of them, they don't do anything. Three green stripes run diagonally across his face where he has used his three middle fingers as paint brushes.

Personality: Fendryn is a very outgoing Dunmer and a complete opposite to most of his race. He usually makes friends quick and loves to drink and sing with the people he is with. He loves to wind up people who he thinks take life too seriously, usually making sarcastic comments towards them. He has a natural ability for battle tactics.

[Mortarion]

If I might ask you, what faction does he belong to?

If you're talking about me, I'll be fighting for the legion.

[Mortarion]

Yes, I was talking about you. Thanks for clarifying

[josephb]

I've edited my cs, to clarify.

[Javier]

I'll make another post as soon as the other legionaries join Ukaraz in the Bannered Mare, also, sorry but he is going to be very arrogant at times.

[Red Wizard]

I take no offence at all :) Tell me if you think I'm bashing your character too much!
