A Man Is No One

Seeking advanced long term partner for 1x1 rp!

Rytsas se Valar Morghulis.

A man would introduce himself but as it goes without saying, a man has no name. However, a man is quite intrigued with regards to your desires for a long term role playing partner. I too am looking for something similar. Quite frankly, I was looking for someone to adventure off into an unknown land that we discover and compose in what you might be familiar with as a Milieu Story whereas, the journey is more center stage than the characters themselves. Contemplate stories such as Gulliver's Travels or to a certain level Lord of the Rings. As it were, I believe your implication is that while we may create the setting - the characters too should be quite important. I can agree with this and I believe we would be able to obligue each other's desires. Perhaps I can acquire a few blank maps from the web, we can pick one and move around from there. Of course, we can flesh out the idea a bit here before we begin or we can do so on Discord if you'd prefer. Of course we'd have to move our interaction to the 1x1 forum. The only downside I would like to throw out there on my half is that I can guarentee avid discussion regarding the adventure, background, et cetera - however, I cannot guarentee that I would be able to post more than once a week. (Adulting an all...)

If any of this sounds interesting enough, I'll be looking forward to hearing from.

A Typical Reintroduction..._

@Parzivol

All of this is fair, let us discuss these matters via Discords on our already joined group for our Elder Scrolls role play. I will make first contact shortly.

Trial by Combat (A Man is No One vs. Infernal)

“Silence!” Came the call from just beneath the King’s pavilion.

As single man stood in the center of the dusty coliseum. Clad in blue robes of a holy man, he drew back his hood to reveal platinum hair cropped just below his shoulders. In his hand was a single scroll of parchment, that was quickly unraveled and held in place.

“Today we gather to witness the innocence or guilt of one man. Charged with the murder of three citizens under the protection of Yggdrasil’s Law and the subsequent desecration of an altar to our supreme god, Yggdrasil. Praise be to him who is granted Yggdrasil’s blessing to prove the guilt or innocence of this fighter. By his guiding hand, Yggdrasil will show us the true path of righteousness.”

Retracting the scroll within his sleeve the priest swiftly moved beyond the edge of the arena and disappeared from sight.

“As is his right, the accused has chosen trial by combat in which martial arms will be taken up in singles combat. What is carried by each participant is what must be used. As brought down from the tower, Yggdrasil’s words dictate that the arcane arts is strictly forbidden. The trial will not be complete until one participant has fallen, the loser to be beheaded in honor of Yggdrasil’s defeat of the weak.”



Swiftly the gate opened, the iron bars parting in the center to be pulled into the walls at opposite ends. Behind it was a single man, his form enshrouded by shadows. The crowd’s silence burst at the seams with cheers that caused the dust to trickle from the walls. Rising to their feet, the crowd greeted the knight warmly as he meandered towards the center of the colosseum. Pointing his spear in one direction and another, nodding his head as if recognizing spectators specifically. He knew how to work the crowd.

It was not the first time Sir Ryland Iscandel had performed in front of the roaring crowd of the colosseum. While he was not always the King’s first choice, he was no stranger to fighting for the Kingdom in a Trial by Combat. His feats beyond the walls of the Kingdom against the growing menace of orcs, goblins, and other terrifying beasts were nothing to truly be noted, he was a particular favorite amongst the crowds in the fighting pit especially before the King.

“My most generous King, your worthiness to sit upon our throne is only dwarfed by Yggdrasil in all his glory.” Ryland shouted over the crowd. He only continued when the crowd’s cheering began to fade, “Long may you reign.”

The knight slammed the butt of his spear into the ground, holding his shield out to unveil his armor. It was nothing out of the ordinary. However, this process was done to appear the crowd, to make proclamation of a fair fight in which all weapons were bear.

“In the name of Yggdrasil, and his most holy of Kingdoms I defend thy honor and the law of Abalonia. For Yggdrasil demands justice!”

Ryland lowered his center of gravity, bending slightly at the knees. Hoisting his shield he turned side face to narrow his figure making it harder to strike. He positioned his shield off his shoulder, holding it level with his torso protecting himself from shoulder to knee. With a light yet determined grip just beneath mid-shaft, the knight lifted his spear and pointed it towards his opponent. He began his slow and determined steps towards the opponent.

@Infernal

I'll wait for your reply of consideration either here or on my original thread. I can begin working on something more concrete this day or the next so that we may truly enjoy the story we may very well create.

@Chrononaut

In case our Etherpad does not provide such convenient alerts, I have posted on our pad to continue our collaboration. I have also taken a gander at the collective pad as well. Of course, I'll hold off on post there just yet as it would seem inappropriate given Enathrae's current engagement.

The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal Library

@Chrononaut

So why collaborate on an outside site? This concept is new to me. We could have and in my opinion should have been conducting out etherpad posts on the guild to provide a complete story if for some reason another might read this. Why not carry on here?

The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal Library

@Chrononaut

That sounds quite alright with me. I started role playing on a real time, play by post turned based endeavor using various games such as Diablo II or Starcraft, so these things were discussed regularly. While I am no strange to forum based play by post, I have in the past even on this site often times been left stranded for many days - weeks even waiting for people to post when there isn't a firm frame of guidelines to dictate the goings-on of players. I'm quite eager to move this storyline along.

As for our etherpad kind sir, I have continued with our trist from the dungeons of the Imperial Citadel. No hurry of course, but I have made you aware which is really all I can do.

@Chrononaut

A man has a question. Should we have some sort of defined turn order as well as a defined time limit for people to participate in a given round? For example we have three players and three posts, maybe it is time for the game master to post and then repeat the post order over a given time period, perhaps three days from the previous person’s post?

@Chrononaut

Very well. I shall begin composition upon returning home. We shall press on.

Rystas se Valar Morghulis...

It would appear as though we look for the same thing. Perhaps you would be interested in drawing up arms with me? I'm not looking for anything fancy as I am looking to break free from the rust. You may find more information on what I am looking for through the link in my signature.
