[OOC] Skyrim: Dragonsbane

[Letter Bee]

Thanks, @ManoftheNorth!

[ManoftheNorth]

I made a small edit, to speak my mind of the Age matter. Also, @Black Death Wonderful news! I will read it soon!

[MiddleEarthRoze]

Sorry Bee, but no matter how good this kid was, there's no way in Hell a group of 20+ warriors would let a thirteen year old join their ranks, to kill dragons. The youngest I'll have is 16 for him, which could be a bit insufficient for him, as magic power grows over time. You'd have to have him practicing magic from a very young age, so your bio will have to correspond with that. Learning from a Master or something - he'd probably be a bit reminiscent of a Jedi in terms of how his training went - non-stop, in order to get decent power that'll be helpful in killing dragons at such a young age.

@ManoftheNorth

I saw. And, to be candid, you're being florid and pompous. Here's a sample of my writing skills, as well as my planned baseline for my character. If you still think I cannot pull a kid off after you've read this, well...okay, I'll try another character.

@MiddleEarthRoze

I understand, and you put your points better than what ManoftheNorth does. However, I cannot think of another character that won't be so cliched and typical.

[ManoftheNorth]

Calling me Florid and Pompous? You may take it however you wish, but I'm and honest man. No BOY would willingly stare down a razor-toothed, winged menace with the capacity to talk world-shuttering powers at him that would literally blow him to pieces and ribbons of meat laying about. To call me out for my points is one thing, to be upset that they are right and would disallow you something is altogether different and not worth your time to call me "Florid and Pompous."

@Letter Bee

Well, all you need to do is bump the age up to at least 16 - that shouldn't be that much of a change for you. All you need to do is make sure the bio is believable - I mean, I know you're a good writer from another RP, so I have no doubts for you there. We're just attempting to make this roleplay as realistic as possible, and a child (I allowed 16 to be the age barrier, as for most Men races, Nord specifically, 16 is the cusp of adulthood.) would be turned away.

[Letter Bee]

I will try and calm down. I apologize for my behavior. That was to ManintheNorth.

[MiddleEarthRoze]

ignore

[ManoftheNorth]

Indeed, it is appreciated LB. Now, I do apologize for this sudden leave, but it is 7AM. Please, if anyone needs me at all, do PM me. I promise I answer my messages. XP Goodnight and take care everyone, I will be up in a few hours, probably around Noon if I can properly hear my Alarm.

[Letter Bee]

I'm going to sleep; it's 8 PM on my end. Let's continue this discussion later.

[Leos Klien]

On a completely unrelated note No one likes Valerion *sniffle*

[Letter Bee]

Decided not to sleep till I at least skim over the story.

[Leos Klien]

Yeah but really guys, we've all made valid points on the matter, and the general consensus is that in reality, which is what we try and stick too, is that anything below 16 is too young. Anyway, your cs will have to explain in great detail how the proficiency in magic relates to that age, if its plausible, then you'll be accepted if you receive a majority vote of approval from us three gms.

@Leos Klien

No, no, it's okay, I'll just create an adult character.

[Letter Bee]

Sorry to double-post, but problem with creating an adult character: I want someone unusual, idealistic, but, at the same time, not an idiot. I want to create someone with the idealism of a child and the experience, and, dare I say it, courage of an adult, but my problem is that experience and courage come with cynicism and I don't want that in my characters; I like it in others', but I cannot abide playing a character tainted with cynicism. You can't save the world if you've given up on it.

@Letter Bee

Well, my character Leo is fairly child-like, but not that cynical. Cynicism doesn't have to come with experience. I mean, it depends on what experiences this character has had, and to be honest, because of how diverse people can be, you can have a bad experience and come out of it as a better person. You're the one making the character, and personality is the one thing we can't complain about (as long as it's well-written, but I don't think you'll have a problem with that), because of how diverse people's personalities actually are. Roze is another good example that I've made - she's had one of the shittiest childhoods and upbringings you could have, but she's not that cynical. In fact, she's perfectly happy, for the most part.

[Letter Bee]

Finished reading through the RP, or at least skimming it. You're all going to Kynesgrove, and some Vigilants of Stendarr are pursuing you, and you have had several character interactions. Gtg sleep, will talk to you guys tomorrow.

[Leos Klien]

Night Bee. Looking forward to your Cs.

[MiddleEarthRoze]

Guys, take a look at the front page - there's been an update! :D
