Skyrim: The secret of Thu'um

Just hours after falling asleep, Timoster woke up to the shouts of dragons. Everyone else stood up as well, wondering what exactly was happening above. Ulemi turned towards the group but before she could say anything the voices intensified, to the point where the entire mountain seemed to be caught up in a voice-stealing curse. Timoster tried to talk but couldn't say anything either. He tried to run but could barely stand up, just like everyone else. Even the bulky Orc couldn't do much about it. Timoster hadn't felt so powerless before.

Moments later an avalanche hit them, destroying the camp and burying everyone under the snow. Timoster hit the ground hard but wasn't notably injured. He was lucky, as such a fall could potentially kill him. He stood up slowly and so did everyone else. It took some time until he could find his balance. By the time everyone was on their feet again the battle was over. Following Ulemi's orders, Timoster picked up his bag and equipment from the ruined camp.

So when we meet the greybeards what will actually happen? Will we be taught shouts? If we do will they be different from each other? Will a dragon attack? I'm so eager.

A dragon attacking High Hrothgar seems pretty unlikely to me. The Greybeards have tremendous powers and could probably repel any threat of that kind.

What about Paarthunax? Does he exist in the RP?

Timoster had kept to himself so far. He didn't feel like talking at that moment as he was excessively tired. The last week was a nightmare for him. The Stormcloaks forced him to relocate to his old house in Winterhold in which he stayed only for a couple of days before traveling to Ivarstead.

"You can keep watch if you want, Maemion. I could use some sleep right now. And don't worry about the food I brought enough for the whole group!"

He pointed to a large, leather bag, which was filled with items. His statement wasn't very far from the truth. Timoster had enough food and potions to sustain the entire group for the next day or two and was eager to share them with others. Before leaving Winterhold, he spent all of his recent earnings for food, potions and a brand new sword to replace the old one. He was determined to find and fight dragons, even if that meant to take the initiative and support his group to the fullest. The sword wasn't enchanted yet and he wasn't used to it but that shouldn't be a problem. He was the healer, after all.

Because of his experience with vampires, your character could probably suspect people around him of being such. It is however better for the narrative if he doesn't know for sure since the vampire in question could be exposed at a later point, adding to the intrigue. Werewolves, on the other hand, are impossible to spot unless seen when transforming. Is that acceptable to you?

Yes. Let's say that he simply suspects some of them are vampires because he has confronted them before. I did some changes on my post.

Wait a second. Aren't vampires and werewolves visually different than other races? I remember that vampires in Skyrim looked slightly different than their mortal counterparts. You know, orange eyes, loss of pigmentation, facial changes etc. And my character has fought them before so he can tell if they are vampires/werewolves or not.

Timoster stood at the base of the mountain. He had been there before a couple of times, yet it still looked terrifying to him. Aside from the beasts that could lie within it's caves and the merciless cold the climb itself would be a challenge for most people. From what he had heard the steps were extremely sloppy, wolves roamed the upper sections of the mountain and corpses of unlucky pilgrims and hunters riddled with diseases weren't uncommon. He was more than ready to make the climb, though, as he had brought his sword, wands, potions, food and even a magical scroll with him.

This adventure was something Timoster had never done before. He couldn't get used to the idea that he could be in the same group with vampires. There was a Breton in the group who looked like a vampire or, more accurately, didn't look entirely like a Breton. He could be wrong but his instincts were usually spot-on in these things. Most importantly, he found hard to believe that a group with such different people could work together to defeat the mighty dragons, beasts that could pour fire and ice from their mouths and single-handedly defeat dozens of soldiers. They definitely looked like experienced fighters and their multitude of skills could be useful in many situations but this wasn't enough. They'd have to trust and help each other selflessly or their group wouldn't last long. But how could a vampire do that?

Despite all these, Timoster couldn't back off. He felt that it was his destiny to band with these people and defeat the dragons together. It was a noble goal, after all.

Nortrom's profiles

Timoster Selond

Name: Timoster Selond "Battle-priest"
Race: Breton
Gender: Male
Age: 38

Appearance: Bald, tall and muscular, Timoster looks more like a white-skinned Orc than a Breton. His armored robe would make him look like a healer if it wasn't for his clearly visible sword and the small, nicely crafted wands. Timoster's appearance is enough to scare a beast or terrify even the most talented necromancer.

Personality: If there is something that makes Timoster not look like a Breton is his personality. Unlike many of his peers and childhood friends, he is a Wizard who doesn't spend all of his time boasting at how fast he can burn a forest or freeze a horse. As a healer, he is naturally benevolent and fights for the good of all people, including himself. He isn't suicidal but isn't afraid to give his life for the greater good either. He is confident and overly optimist, even if the direst of situations. As a magician who takes his profession seriously, he is very logical and puts logic above his emotions.

Background: Unlike most healers who are content with healing the wounded and curing the diseased, Timoster wanted to become something greater and have a bigger impact on the world. Born in High Rock, he was expected to become a terrifying wizard and he was on par with some of the most talented kids at that time. Timoster didn't want to become a wizard, though. He believed that restoration is the most important school of magic and decided to dedicate all of his time and talent to that area. He aspired to become a Paladin, a mighty warrior who has equally mastered the sword and healing.

At the age of 20, he left his hometown to explore the world, just like many other Breton magicians. Despite his limited knowledge of survival, he managed to see most of the northern part of the world and reached Skyrim at the age of 25. He initially visited the college of Winterhold to further improve his skills in restoration and Illusion and stayed there for five years. Meanwhile, he built a reputation as an undead slayer, as he helped the Whiterun's army clear out many dungeons and haunted forests. He gradually made a fortune and decided to settle in Whiterun. During the civil war, Timoster abandoned Whiterun, as he was afraid of his life. He had refused to pick a side in the war and was repeatedly threatened for doing so. He briefly returned to Winterhold, where he learned about a group of adventurers who hunted dragons.
