The Elder Scrolls: Corruption

Is it still open for new characters?

@Zhaliora

It is indeed :)

The Elder Scrolls: Corruption

y'all need to stop being so progressive, you're making me look bad haha

The Elder Scrolls: Corruption

I am going to not put sexuality on my sheet. I don't see it's relevance.

@Sep

That's completely fair and I'm happy for anyone to leave it. The CS should be used as a guide/template, but players are free to edit it as they see fit. I only put it there for a couple of reasons: a) because it can be argued that people shouldn't be assumed to be heterosexual (but I'm not going to get into gender/sexuality politics haha); and b) just so people had the choice to state it if they wanted to.

【Personality】
 
Scylla is a generally friendly person. She is polite to those she meet and is usually calm even when attacked. She doesn't enjoy her cursed body, but tries to make the best of it. She has no intention of ever continuing the curse or infect another person so she is very careful when she feeds. Usually she prefers to feed upon bandits and highwaymen so she can suck them dry, but when that's not possible she is ready to charm her way into the bed of men and women alike. The charm abilities of vampires and a calming magic usually make sure that her partner doesn't remember what happened during the night. On a side note, she has also been known to take contracts about disposing of other vampires. Aside her profession, she enjoys cooking even though she cannot eat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【History】
Priscilla was born in Skyrim. The ship her parents were on shipwrecked near Dawnstar a little before her birth. There was a huge storm a the time that continued for a long while so the few survivors from the incident had to stay at the remains of the ship and make an improvised shelter for the time being. It was then that Scylla was born.

It was a week later that the weather finally began to clear up and the survivors were able to reach Dawnstar. They didn't stay at the town for long though for it was never their destination. Some of them decided to head back south to return to their previous homes because they lost all their possessions with the wreck, but some like Scylla's parents decided to stay in Skyrim for the time being. Then then settled in Dawnstar for a few years. Worked like mad so they can raise their child in the harsh weather of the north. She was a bright child and quickly began picking up the craft of her mother. Her mother was an enchanter with some skill, but Scylla proved to have a natural born talent for it.

In the upcoming years she slowly learned more and more about enchanting while picking up a number of useful magic skills in the process she had not mastered any, but it was still a useful thing to have. When she was 15 her family decided to head back towards Cyrodiil. So they missed the chaos in Skyrim when Alduin appeared just in time. Eventually after a long journey they finally reached Cyrodiil after a few years of traveling. Their life was good for a while. They didn't pay much attention to the events unfolding far away, but thanks to that their work did seem to increase. She had already reached and slightly surpassed her mother's skill at enchanting by then so she got a lot of request to enchant weapons, armor and so on. That's why money wasn't too much of a problem. This ideal life continued for a few years before she got a request to go to another city. She quickly packed things up and headed over, but on the road during one night, she was attacked by a vampires and dragged away to their lair. Eventually transforming her into one of them, she was forced to enchant their gear.

She was lucky though, about a year after her capture, a bunch of soldiers appeared to cleanse the cave of it's vile inhabitants. At that time she was sleeping in a far deeper part of the cave, where they kept her chained to a wall behind a huge rock. It was by pure luck that the soldiers didn't find her. She woke as the fighting began, but was too afraid at the time to do anything. Eventually as the hours rolled by and the sounds of battle ended, everything was replaced by complete silence.

She waited for a whole day for someone to come for her, but no one appeared, just the silence. In the end Scylla just froze the interior of the lock of the chain until it opened on it's own. Slowly walking outward she found what remained from the lair. The soldiers had taken away almost everything of value, but she still managed to gather clothing to cover most of herself almost completely so she can walk outside. She will never forget her first walk to the sun in almost a year. It hurt so much, the light was almost unbearable, but she walked forward without stop. She wanted to return home.

When she finally reached her house, she found nothing there. The place was destroyed, burned to the ground. How many times she had said to her parents to buy a house within a city or at least closer to one, but no. They always replied that they liked it here in the wide open. In the end it proved their end...

After that she just wandered around, slowly getting together her old business of enchating. She had the time to practice now, she started learning magic again to aid in her undertakings. She learned to Soul trap so she can also create the soul gems in case of need. She now works for no one. She is just a wandering enchanter, she enchants the equipment of soldiers or mercenaries as long as they pay her the price she requests and she is known for being rather fair in her pricing. She had always wanted to become a human again, but finding a solution to that problem has proved itself quite hard.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Skills and Abilities】
Scylla is an enchanter first and foremost. It's her most trained and developed skill. She has learned to easily weave strong enchantments as long as the needed soul gems are present. In her travels she had picked up a decent number of enchantments she can use. Most are pretty standard and are mostly used for the soldiers that request her skills, but some she picked up are rarer and she use sparingly. Besides her enchanting skills, she trained herself to use electric magic, a little bit of ice and mind. Another skill she prides herself with is her cooking. While she can no longer eat it, she still loves to cook for others.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Weapons/Tools and Magic】
Weapons/Tools/Armour
Scyla doesn't use a robe like most mages do. She wears a pretty tight fitting white leather armor that covers all of her body except the head. The armor is composed of a tight fitting chest piece with long sleeves that cover her arms to her wrist. Once put on, it's tighten by a number of small belts and buckles. From the waist down, it's a tight short leather pants just reaching above her knee and a very tall boots that reach over her knees and overlap with the pants. In addition she also has a pair of leather gloves. She protects her head with a white hood.

Scylla carries two accessories, a simple silver earring that is enchanted with mana regeneration and a ring that makes her attack spells easier to cast.

She also has a steel tanto she uses when she has no other option and a small portable enchanting setup.
 
Magical Spells
Soul trap
Calm
Simple ward
Frost bolt
Shock bolt
Lightning strike – a more powerful version of the shock bolt
Lightning scythe – hurls a disk of lightning that damages and passes through a few enemies
Chain lightning – self explanatory
other minor spells

@rivaan

At the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, your grammar could use a little bit of tidying up here and there. TBF I only saw mild mistakes, I just like criticising thing. As you said, you still need to do the appearance section. The only thing I'd really like to see is a little more on the vampire aspect; simply because there's so many different kinds of vampirism in the Elder Scrolls Universe. But overall I like the character and unless anyone else has a problem I'm happy to accept her.

@rivaan :D

Also guys, I've changed the second post of this OOC to an NPC List. I'll be updating it throughout the RP and I encourage people to make suggestions and submissions!

The Elder Scrolls: Corruption

Glad to see people taking an interest! I look forward to seeing your character sheets!

I'm thinking either Altmer Hugo Stiglitz or not!Caul Shivers.

@Leidenschaft

I quite like the idea of an Altmer Hugo Stiglitz; he could be BFFs with Legate Fasendil if they ever get the chance to meet. No idea who Caul Shivers is though! :P

Fasendil

Don't know who Fasendil is? Click here! Also check the year 4E 221 on the timeline. He'll potentially be a notable NPC.

The Elder Scrolls: Corruption

@Fat Boy Kyle I feel as though with this being skyrim I have to go do some side quests first get myself reestablished and reequipped. Especially the skall and archeologist. The argonian is basically a crocodile man biggest argonian I could make, so he'll just do whatever gets him to the bloodshed. The imperial's job is to go do side quests so I mean almost have to avoid the main story at that point. I'll keep this RP in mind its just not quite meshing yet.

@jasonwolf

No problem. I hope that if nothing else you keep an eye out on the RP in case you later decide that you want to jump in :)

Star Heresy

Planet Luynus - Snoria Bazaar - Early Evening

The crowds were slightly thinner in the southern part of the Bazaar, where the rows of vendors became more narrow and the stalls more quaint. Still, the stream of potential buyers that flowed through the little alleys was enough to make many off-worlders feel swamped. The muggy air and mixture of various smells, both human and produced, made for an uncomfortable environment as sweaty bodies slid past each other in effort to get to their destination. The odd quick moving child signified a failed attempt at pick-pocketing and was amusing, if not worrying, to watch. Oliver Thane was actually the kind of person that liked this environment, and to a certain degree it reminded him of the markets back in New Shanghai - although they contained far less crime and were more legitimate. He dressed very casually for the mission, wearing old-school military boots with dark grey jeans (not tucked into the boots), a black zipped hoody and a knee-long overcoat. The hoody, which he wore with the hood up over his head, was more special than it appeared to the average eye; it was inlined with special fibres that caused optical aberration to average CCTV equipment and even low tier eye cybernetics. What this meant was that most surveillance looking at him with his hood up would see a blurry face. The hoody was not the only protection he had though, as he wore a holster concealed beneath his jacket where he kept a silenced pistol. Hardly the most effective set-up for a combat situation, but he hoped it wouldn’t come to that anyway.

Strolling through the crowds with confidence and purpose, Thane kept his eye out for any suspicious activity. It was not hard for him to blend in with the crowds and pretend to be someone else - after all, that was how he lived his life. This act was a charade within a charade. "Here we are." Thane thought to himself as he came across a small coffee vendor nestled between an assortment of other food and drink vendors. The neon clad stall was named ‘The Emperor’s Cup’ and had a rather dirty feel to it. Six empty barstools lined the front of the grimy looking counter and it was clear that this place didn't get as much business as it could have. The sole worker, an old man with wrinkled olive skin and balding white hair, stood slumped lazily against the back wall of the small stall

"Medium honeybean please, with a pinch of nutmeg." The order was delivered clearly but quietly by Thane as he took a seat. The elderly vendor perked up in response and gave a quick look around.

"Do I know you from somewhere, your face seems familiar. Maybe from the Felguim district?" the elderly man's response was exactly what Thane expected, a security phrase that let him know that he was dealing with the right Nym agent. The little act continued as the vendor handed over a cup of coffee with a smile.

"Name's Trojan, I think that we may both know Helix." This of course was yet another coded phrase. It signified that Thane was a spy and that he wanted a message passed on, in this case being to 'Helix'. As Thane spoke he handed the vendor a small chip in exchange for the coffee, which to any onlookers would seem like a normal transaction.

"Ah of course! I'm supposed to be meeting her later, so I'll make sure to say 'hello' for you." The vendor of course wouldn't be meeting with Helix; he would be sending the heavily encoded chip through a series of channels right back into the heart of the Republic. But he wasn’t going to say that in public. In fact Thane guessed it could be weeks before his contact retrieved the chip, if at all. The chip could only be read by ‘Helix’, and anyone else that attempted to open or hack it would immediately cause the destruction of the data.

"I'd appreciate that. Have a nice day." Thane said with a genuine smile as he clambered off his seat and once more merged into the crowd, dodgy coffee in hand. He then continued to stroll through the bazaar, slowly but surely making his way towards the spot he knew that Anson and some of the others would be meeting. He was not too far out when he got the message.

<Status check. All operators, update location and readiness.>

Thane wasn’t the most comfortable with the whole ‘thought message’ system, finding it somewhat unnatural, but he certainly appreciated the practicality of it. He would have appreciated the practicality of it more if he could make it work efficiently. As it was Thane needed use his mouth to utter his words silently, or else his messages sometimes became jumbled; understandable really, given how much thought and care he needed to put into every sentence.

<This is Thane. About a minute from your position, but keeping distance. Ready for orders. Out.>

Star Heresy

Half-written my post, but I'm going out shortly. Not sure if it'll be up the end of the day. Sorry! :S

The Elder Scrolls: Corruption

Well do we want the skall monster hunter? The sea/wood (driftwood) elf archeologist? The argonian dragon knight? How about the Imperial Legion Bounty Hunter?

It's tempting, but the trouble lies in how open we will be. There's many things I need to know since this is coming from an open world game.

@jasonwolf

The Skall monster hunter would be cool and interesting, but would probably have the least to contribute to the story (at least initially). An archaeologist could potentially provide some insight into the 'main story'. And the Argonian and Imperial would provide interesting (although differing) perspectives on the Great War. What ever way you go, you're probably going to have a good CS.

In terms of openness, it really is as open as an RP can be. You can completely ignore what's going on in the world and with other characters if you wish. You could argue that this could make the RP suck but then I would reply with these three points: a) It encourages creativity by not limiting people's direction; b) it could provide a Game of Thrones-esque style story where lots of different things are happening in different places; and c) the chances are most people will opt into becoming involved with the main story or the war anyway.

The two main arcs which I will be pushing will be involving the war and the bodysnatching (which your nightmares are linked to). I'm still not sure whether or not to just reveal what the main story arc is, or kinda try to slowly reveal it as the RP progresses. Opinions are welcome!
