The Elder Scrolls: Before the Great War

The Road to Bruma

The Orange Road; Imagine that its Summer, please...

For a moment, fear overtook Brigit, before she held out her staff and summoned two Frost Artonachs, before saying, "This is the culmination of my studies, my greatest work - The ability to summon more than one Artonach... and control the shape they are conjured as!"

With one clench of her fist, the two Frost Artonachs reshaped themselves, one into Arvindr, her foe, and the other into a copy of Kiffar himself. She sent the fake Kiffar to attack the real one, while the fake Arvindr attacked everyone else. Then, upon grasping the fact that she was still outmatched, she began to flee, hoping that her conjured creatures would hold back her enemies as she tried to flee the scene. It was clear that she, and for that matter, the remaining bandits, who were reduced to a mere ten and soon to be less, were not going to make it intact.

It was at least a good warm-up; now the question was whether they wanted to press their advantage and get rid of this threat before it became recurring...

Bruma - Not a Timeskip, Foreshadowing!

Bruma; pretend that it's Summer

Even though Bruma was part of Cyrodiil, its Half-Nord population did not take the entrance of Reachmen and Orcs, with some of them clearly of high status, which was noticed even by the prejudiced, as any good omen. Even when these Reachmen and Orsimer met with well-armed, official-looking folk who had arrived from the Imperial City who paid for their stay in a fine, but not too fine, inn, this suspicion had not gone down, only rose, although the heights were not dangerous yet.

The Elder Council and their 'Hidden Militia' were gambling in a high-stakes game, meeting with people from New Orsinium and The Reach. If the new members from Weynon Priory did not arrive to escort these delegates to the Imperial City soon, the news would get out of their purpose... And that would be an unacceptable risk.

Imperial City - Foreshadowing

Imperial City

Confessor Esselenia, a descendant of one of Talos' blessed, The Prophet, bowed before the newly crowned Titus Mede, who looked at her with respect. She held the title of Confessor because she was his personal Confessor, after all.

She was the one who listened to his sins and absolved them in Talos's name. She would make sure that Talos's will to keep the Empire alive, even if it meant allowing Orsinium and The Reach to be their own provinces, was kept.

And so, when the Emperor of Tamriel indicated that he wanted to confess his latest sins and doubts, she was prepared to listen and of course, suggest solutions.

Bleach - Resonant Souls

Mikazuki Nakajima

Looking Shouko and Ouka in the eye, Mikazuki said, "Yes. I have more questions. If Hollows are born from lingering spirits in the Human World, are all souls destined to turn into them if not sent to Soul Society by a Shinigami or turned to Shinigami? Would we have turned into Hollows if we died and our souls did not get eaten or sent to Soul Society?"

His eyes glinted as he continued, "Can Shinigami turn into Hollows? Including us? My Grandfather was on the wrong side in a war - I do not want to have been tricked into making that same mistake, considering how Shinigami are capable of going into civil wars and giving each other what I think are final deaths. Or am I just being a combination of ungreatful and paranoid?"

NPC Arms Masters First Batch

ASEAN NPC Arms Masters:

Appearance:

Name: Chai Jakkrit

Antagonist, Friendly, or Neutral: Friendly

Arms Master: Y

Noble Arm Rank:

B

Power: C
Speed: A
Range: B
Persistence: C
Precision: C
Potential: C

Noble Arm Abilities: A Thai Bladed Staff that can transmute itself and the user's body into a large ball of electricity, allowing them to travel through metal objects, such as copper wire, while inflicting stunning to fatal shocks on living targets they pass through. However, excessive use of this ability can damage Chai's body once it returns to flesh and blood, leading to severe injuries at best, especially if the 'lightning form' comes into contact with large amounts of rubber or non-conductive materials.

Brief Description: Thai Arms Master deployed to Phnom Penh to punish the Cambodians.

Disposability: 5

Appearance:

Name: The Chau Sisters

Antagonist, Friendly, or Neutral:

Arms Master: Y/N

Noble Arm Rank:

Red Chau, B

Power: C
Speed: D (S)
Range: E (S)
Persistence: C
Precision: A
Potential: B

Blue Chau, B

Power: B
Speed: B (S)
Range: E (S)
Persistence: B
Precision: C
Potential: B

Noble Arm Abilities:

Twinswap - A unique ability that exploits, then breaks the rules of the Noble Arm System, this allows the Chau Twins to swap their Noble Arms to each other using their bond as Twins.

Crystalization (Red Chau) - Any living flesh cut by Red Chau's sword slowly crystalizes until the person dies, the damage is reversed by another Noble Arm, or Red Chau wills it to reverse on its own (cutting off the cut flesh is also an option). Wood, natural fibers, and bone (including ivory) are immune, as well as hair and animal horns.

Liquification (Blue Chau) - Any inorganic material (stone, metal, plastic, concrete) cut by Blue Chau's sword quickly dissolves into liquid; this includes vehicles and walls. This ability does not affect living flesh and organic materials like wood, but those can still be cut by the blade like normal. Unlike Red Chau, Blue Chau cannot will the damage to reverse.

Unnatural Agility (Blue Chau) - Blue Chau is just fast enough to avoid bullets.

Barrier Skin (Red Chau) - Red Chau emits an energy barrier close to her skin that allows her to withstand most calibers of bullet and even one Anti-Materiel Rifle Round. This, however, saps her Persistence and thus she prefers to swap with Blue Chau every other minute in combat.

Brief Description: Two of Vietnam's Arms Masters, and ones rising in popularity as they fight in the ASEAN War, the Chau Sisters have been sent to Phnom Penh to punish the Cambodians for their treachery. They are twins and not used to being apart, even in combat...

Disposability: 5

Testing: Noble Arms Public NPC System

For players who want to move the plot, but whose current PC is out of commission, I am testing out a Public NPC System where players can take control of pre-made NPCs with GM Permission (or are asked by the GM to 'test out' the NPCs) so they can keep playing. Not only that but players who already have a PC can submit Public NPCs for the GMs to approve, on the condition that once they are, anyone can use them even without them having to personally give their permission - It comes with submitting a Public NPC in the first place.

NPC Template:

[center][b]Appearance:[/b]
(Optional; Picture Preferred.)[/center]

[b]Name:[/b]

[b]Antagonist, Friendly, or Neutral:[/b]

[b]Arms Master:[/b] Y/N

[b]Noble Arm Rank:[/b]

[hider=Insert NA rank here]
Power: The pure energy the NA can exert (offensively/defensively/healing/etc).
Speed: How fast the power responds to the user and takes effect.
Range: How far-reaching the abilities are (potential fallout included). Along with Power, we will be paying special scrutiny to NAs that are high in this stat and especially in both at once.
Persistence: Stamina toll on the user. Higher rank = more ease of use.
Precision: How surgically (or clumsily/indiscriminate) the NA performs.
Potential: Power's flexibility for creative use and evolution.

Smoke and Steel (A pike and shot era RP concept)

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

No we aren't doing independents. We aren't running a classic faction or nation RP, this is an exercise in storytelling set within a 17th century aesthetic.

There can be small scale romance and drama alongside the diplomacy, intrigue and (probably) betrayal of the larger conflict.

@Dyelli Beybi

Fair. Apologies for the inconvinience.
