Trying to get the tone of a tracker right.

[Leos Klien]

How's everyone doing?

[ManoftheNorth]

I am alright, loving this snow I got in West Virginia. It isn't too much, but is more than a dusting, so I am happy.^^

How are you?

[Delta1038]

Hope I made it believable enough. Didn't get to practice my scouting skills in some time.

[Leos Klien]

I'm fine thanks North ^^
Just finished a day of college.

And Delta, that post was exceptional!
You portrayed the hunt perfectly, and it was indeed believable, a bit stretched maybe when it came to the boot marks. But its, overall a brilliant post.

You'd be surprised by what you can tell from a person's shoe. If you would like to know more;

Exposition alert

I more or less wrote the tracking parts based on the picture you provided.



and wondered just what might be sticking out too much. For example a large heavy tattered cape or as mentioned his Sabaton with its joints so the user can flex their foot a bit. On the bit of the shoe, look at the crevices of your shoes and you might find pieces of pebble or dirt stuck and that's not even mentioning the shape of the imprint.

Very true. But a boot mark surviving a mine collapse, that's my skepticsm. But as I said, it's a brilliant post and doesn't require any work on it in my opinion.

Always room for improvement.

[Delta1038]

[Leos Klien]

Yup, both Origins and Number 2.

[ajax6893]

Name: Ildrun Freyar (The first name is a variation of a Norse name I found meaning 'love again', the second name is a nickname composed from 'Freyja' and 'arr' meaning 'lady warrior')
Age: 23
Race: Nord
Class: Sword-fighter (Skills: One handed weapons [swords in particular], heavy-armor, and a bit of smithing)
Appearance: Ildrun is five foot seven, she has dark-orange hair usually worn in a ponytail or a bun (especially when she is wearing her helmet), green eyes and light-tan skin. Her eyes are slightly smaller than most peoples, her nose is fairly normal and her lips are a a bit small though her mouth is of a normal size width wise. She has freckles going from her cheeks across her nose. Due to her constantly working on her swordsmanship she is fairly muscular, though with a still obviously feminine build.
Personality: Ildrun is rather quiet and reserved, often only speaking when need be, which makes her seem like she doesn't care. She likes practicing her sword skills and will often go through drills. She has some interest in reading but she isn't very literate and has a hard time with big words. She is also kind and caring, which can be seen in her when someone needs help (whether it is physically or emotionally). In contrast to her caring nature, she is rather easily annoyed and if you are threatening a friend or innocent, you better be ready for a sword coming at your face.
Bio: Ildrun was born in Whiterun. She grew up quite the tomboy, roughhousing with the other kids and whatnot. When she was old enough to hold a sword she would go and practice whenever she could, whether it was with guards, soldiers or her uncle, though mostly her uncle. She learned much in the way of sword fighting, but has had little practical experience, the most being when she has had to defend herself from the random skeever. This has made her swordsmanship more fancy then practical. Because of this she had become desperate to join the army or go adventuring, though she was always stopped by something, usually her family begging her to stay. Finally with the death of the Dovahkin and the incursion of the Dragons, Ildrun has set out to join the Dovahfeyn, despite the pleading of her family for her to leave Skyrim with them. Though they do not approve of her course of action, they gave her supplies for her trip to High Hrothgar in concern of her safety and told her to be careful.
Equipment: Ildrun has a steel sword and steel armor, she also has a backpack with stuff for traveling, like dried food, a bedroll and such.

Good start ajax, but I need you to maybe bulk it up a bit more. Add a bit more detail - especially in the appearance, and do some work on the bio too. Fix that, and you can start whenever! :)

[Leos Klien]

Glad to see your still with us Lord pie, I was getting worried for a minute there :D
Also.
Good post, I'll return to the camp after the confrontation with our Snow elf :P

Okay, here is a revised CS

Name: Ildrun Freyar (The first name is a variation of a Norse name I found meaning 'love again', the second name is a nickname composed from 'Freyja' and 'arr' meaning 'lady warrior')
Age: 23
Race: Nord
Class: Sword-fighter (Skills: One handed weapons [swords in particular], heavy-armor, and a bit of smithing)

Appearance: Ildrun is five foot seven, she has dark-orange hair usually worn in a ponytail or a bun (especially when she is wearing her helmet), green eyes and light-tan skin. Her eyes are slightly smaller than most peoples, her nose is fairly normal and her lips are a a bit small though her mouth is of a normal size width wise. She has freckles going from her cheeks across her nose. Due to her constantly working on her swordsmanship she is fairly muscular, though with a still obviously feminine build.

Personality: Ildrun is rather quiet and reserved, often only speaking when need be, which makes her seem like she doesn't care. She likes practicing her sword skills and will often go through drills. She has some interest in reading but she isn't very literate and has a hard time with big words. She is also kind and caring, which can be seen in her when someone needs help (whether it is physically or emotionally). In contrast to her caring nature, she is rather easily annoyed and if you are threatening a friend or innocent, you better be ready for a sword coming at your face.

Bio: Ildrun was born in Whiterun on the 20th of Heartfire to Orvar (father) and Betja (mother). She has two siblings, an older sister and a younger brother: Eirsa, her sister, is 28 years old and Frodr is 16 years old. Ildrun was quite the tomboy when growing up, spending much of her time watching the guards or soldiers and play-fighting or actually fighting with other children. Because of her fighting with other children and her quick temper, she was often in trouble with her parents. Her education in her early years was fairly basic, learning basic reading. writing and math skills, and she never really went beyond that in her later life.

As she grew Ildrun only became more restless, and as soon as she was able to hold a sword she began to practice swordsmanship with her uncle, who had been in the Imperial army. So her uncle taught her much of what she knew of sword-fighting, and he taught her some smithing so that she could keep her equipment in repair. He often emphasized the importance of keeping clean equipment and practicing drills. It was during this time that she got her nickname, "Freyar", due to her love of fighting. Soon she became even more restless and would often announce to her family that she was going to join the army, only to have second thoughts as they begged her to stay a little while longer, and so this went on for years, and the only things Ildrun killed with her sword were small pests. But then the day finally came when Ildrun would leave for good. When the Dovahkin died the seed was first planted, and the incursion of the Dragons only made her desire to do something stronger, and her family was preparing to leave soon. So finally Ildrun decided that this was the day. So she went to her father and mother announcing that she would go to Ivarstead to join the Dovahfeyn. Her parents begged her to come with them to leave Skyrim, but Ildrun was adamant in her decision this time and when they saw they could not sway her from this course of action they started preparing things for her journey. As they prepared her rations, clothing and shelter her uncle took her to get outfitted with armor. Her family was sad to see her go when she was finally ready to leave, and gave her all the advice worried family members would.

Equipment: Ildrun has a steel sword and steel armor, she also has a backpack with stuff for traveling, like dried food, a bedroll and such.

Ah, much better! Excellent sign-up Ajax, I look forward to seeing her in action. :) Now, you can either pretend that you character was with the group all along, as I'm having a few peripheral NPC's to get chowed on during the dragon fight - your character can just decide to speak now. Or, if you'd prefer, your character journeyed to Ivarstead and was too late, and is only just catching up with the group now.
