Elder Scrolls: Skingrad Company

@Revi Hunter Just two things: would you be alright looking for a different picture or describing what she looks like, don't really want the appearance to be an anime character. Also give a bit more detail on her equipment, like what armour or clothing does she wear and if she has any other bits with her like hunting stuff for example.

@Revi Hunter You could if it makes sense but it would have to be a good reason because I couldn't see someone in the Psijic order joining a small mercenary group.

Elder Scrolls: Skingrad Company

The story so far:

Elder Scrolls: Skingrad Company

Quintus Jannus

Name: Quintus Jannus

Race: Imperial

Gender: Male

Age: 65

Appearance:


Personality: Quintus is a very smart man, who always plans what he does or says beforehand. He can always usually figure out somebodies character fairly quickly and know their strengths and weaknesses. He generally tries to be fair but when the situation calls for it he can be cruel and will more than likely do anything to complete the job.

History: Quintus was born and raised in the poorest part of Bravil, in one of the many shack houses that made up Bravils town. From an early age he showed signs of being very intelligent, his smarts and his speed got him noticed by a few members of the thieves guild who operated in Bravil. He was only twelve when he started to work for them and for the next ten years he managed to make quite a lot of money doing it. He was also taught to use a sword from his mentor when they had a bit of spare time. He did quite well until he was caught handling some stolen goods and was sent to the dungeons for a few years.

When he got released from jail, he never wanted to return to the dungeons so he vowed to himself he'd leave the thieves guild behind him. With some money that he had kept hidden, he bought some steel armour and a steel claymore. Then started to work for the fighters guild for a few years before leaving after having a fall out with the guild leaders in the Bruma Guildhall.

He started to travel around Cyrodiil doing jobs that the fighters guild thought were beneath them and started to make a reputation for himself for always taking whatever the job was and completing it. In his thirties he decided to stay in Skingrad after he had a son and opened up his own mercenary company. He bought a house and a bit of land just outside the walls of skingrad and paid a company to build an headquarters. He hired people who he'd met on his travels and to work for his company and continued to run it. As he started to get older, he stopped going on jobs himself and just sent people on them.[

Adrian Jannus

Name: Adrian Jannus

Race: Imperial

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Appearance: The first thing people usually notice with Adrian are his ice blue eyes that seem to pierce you. He is usually always smiling showing off his perfectly straight white teeth. He is a very good looking man with dark blonde that is brushed back and a neat beard the same colour. Adrian is not really tall for his race standing at five foot nine, but his body is well toned from years of fighting.

Personality: Adrian is the type of man who can never come to terms with realizing that he's wrong. He believes everything that he does is right and gets aggressive to anyone who tries to tell him differently to his opinions. When he comes to fighting he believes he's the best swordsman in the world, but it isn't true, he's very good but not the best. Most people would call him a pompous fool who loves himself. Being the son of the Quintus he acts like he's better than everyone who is in Skingrad Company. He can be very charming though when he wants to be, managing to get out of a lot of situations.

Class:
Major Skills: Blade, Athletics and Light Armour
Minor Skills: Acrobatics, Speechcraft, Hand to Hand and Sneak

Equipment: Adrian wears a chain mail cuirass underneath some exquisitely made leather armour, giving him protection but also mobility. He never wears a helmet. He has two steel short swords that are very good quality. Adrian always carries quite a lot of coins with him never wanting to stay outside and would rather pay to stay in an inn.

History: There is not really much to say when it comes to talk about Adrian's story because he has never really done much with his life. Being the son of an owner to a fairly successful mercenary company he has lived in comfort. He spent a lot of time from a very early age in the headquarters of the Skingrad Company, watching the men and his father practice in the courtyard.

When he was old enough he started to practice with swords, preferring to use two blades. When he was in his mid twenties, his father started to make him go on jobs, trying to make him grow up and stop spending all of his money that he hadn't earned on ale and women. Quintus wanted to raise him to take over Skingrad Company, but he's grown annoyed about his attitude, Adrian still believes that he'll become the captain of Skingrad Company not seeing the signs of his father's annoyance.

Elder Scrolls: Skingrad Company

Skingrad Company Headquarters

Just outside of the walls to Skingrad, stood the headquarters for the Skingrad Company. A building made up of grey stone that fitted in with the style of Skingrad. To the side of it was a blacksmiths forge and to the front of it was a courtyard were two people practiced with their swordplay. It was a dull day with dark clouds covering all of the sky, but it wasn't raining just yet. In the distance, the sound of lightning could be heard slightly. In the back room of the headquarters was a long hall and to the back of the room was a desk with a man sat behind it writing on some parchment. On the wall hung a Claymore and the room was painted in maroon. To the side was a massive log fire that lit up the room.

A younger man sauntered into the room, with his hands on his swords that hung on both of his hips. There were two chairs in front of the desk in which the younger man took a seat and put his feet up on the desk. Quintus, the man who was writing the letter glanced up to see his sons feet on the table then went back to writing the letter. "You're early... You're never early." Quintus said sharply.

"Well hello to you as well Father." Adrian replied sarcastically as he looked out the window. "I just thought I'd come and see how you are before this mission."

Quintus put down the quill and looked at him with an annoyed expression as he scratched the side of his head. "Ah forever the caring son aren't you."

Adrian laughed at him, "well I was just wanted to have a look at the room that will be mine one day."

Quintus shook his head. "Well the sooner you stop acting like a fool and take the business more seriously, it might make me consider stepping down and spending more time with your mother." Voices from outside the room started to get louder now. "I'm giving you the lead on this job and you better make sure it goes well. I don't want any excuses and this is a very big job, Skingrad are giving us a lot of Septims for this." Before they could continue, the members started to walk into the room.

Elder Scrolls: Skingrad Company

The year is 4E 51, around fifty years after the Oblivion Crisis and the sacrifice of the last member of the Septim Dynasty, Martin Septim. The Empire has never really been able to capture it's former glory. The Third Aldmeri Dominion was formed and took control of the Summerset Isles and Valenwood with the Empire being too weak to stop them. The whole of Tamriel is strife with conflict and many of the people are in danger. More Bandits than ever before pray on the weak. The Daedra still appear to be strong, despite the efforts of Martin Septim and the Hero of Kvatch. Rumours of unknown elves in the wilderness of Cyrodiil are attacking people without mercy who venture too far off the main paths and much more. These are just some of the problems facing Tamriel at the moment.

This has made it a great time to be a mercenary, who want to become rich. In Cyrodiil an Imperial named Quintus Jannus did exactly that by creating a group called the 'Skingrad Company'. When Quintus was a young man he had started to take jobs and the more he completed, the more people wanted to hire him. After a while he had too many jobs on the table that he couldn't do them all by himself so he started to hire people to work for him. Thirty years later, Skingrad Company has become a well known name around Cyrodiil and certain parts of Tamriel with around thirty people working for them.

When this rp starts, Quintus has received a job from the Count of Skingrad asking the company to look into a farming community called Shardrock after numerous failures to pay their taxes and have given no reason or excuse as to why. For whatever reason you will be one of the mercenaries currently working for Skingrad Company who as been told to meet Quintus in his office to take on this job.

Rules

I want this to be as lore-friendly as possible. However I do acknowledge that this is fan-fiction, so let me know if you're wanting to add something and I'll tell you whether I approve.

I would like you to have some knowledge of the games and lore.

Don’t make unrealistic characters, which are too overpowered and cannot be injured. If your character is attacked on his own by multiple enemies, he's more than likely going to die.

I would like to see around at least a paragraph and not just a sentence for each post. Please check your spelling and grammar.

I would like your characters to progress, both personally and in regards to skills and items so don't start off with all the best equipment.

Don't control other people's characters without asking them.

Potions won’t heal you instantly. They will take time.

Elves will not be immortal, just be able to live around four times the length of the other races.

You can be a vampire but not a vampire lord and if you'd like to be a werewolf, that's fine but it will be a monthly thing what you don't have control over.

I'd like at least two posts a week. If you're unable to post for a while just let me know.

If you're wanting to join, post a CS in the OOC and wait for approval.
