And now I'm here.

Background for CS will be up ASAP, but GM gave me the go-ahead.

So hello again, errybody.


A certain GM has indeed given the approval.

Say hello to Lady Rainbow, guys. She doesn't bite as far as I could tell.
I get off at 7 today, probably be home at around 7:30 or so. My additions might be a little late but whatevs.


For the record, that's PST, unless the Schaft defected to North Korea.
@MacabreFox, your turn on EPad.
@Peik I recommend solo.

And are you finished collabing with @Mortarion?
@MacabreFox Ball's in your court again.
Uh, Hello!

I hope you've still got some room in here as I've been eying up this RP for a little while now, just like Mono (in fact she linked it to me for viewing). I guess I'm sorta a buy one get one free in this regard, as my character is planned to be tied to hers as a bodyguard whilst she potters about Skyrim.

So, is there room for a grumpy old ex-Ordinator born in pre-Nerevarine Morowind, who hasn't changed a jot from the old standard of delightful Dunmer xenophobia and racism, and who's body is pretty much held together through a mixture of scar tissue and restoration magic?


Hey there! Glad Mono dragged in another piece of fresh meat friend. It's good hear our game got around through words of mouth. I'm happy to have your interest.

As for any believable advanced RP (even fantasy ones), their characters should steer clear of extremes. I can't give a through judgment yet, based on your concept, but I can offer you these tips.

  • A regular elf lives three times the human lifespan. This means a Dunmer over the age of 200 is very old. It is the equivalent of a human over the age of 65. Just keep that in mind, as cane-swinging action-grandpas are untypical on both Earth and Tamriel.
  • With old age comes wisdom, and coming in all the way from third era fills you up with a lot of knowledge. Remember that our characters are not all-knowing, even the scholarly types. Though the limit on knowledge is blurrier than combat skills, we nevertheless want no walking encyclopedias.
  • Personality. I have no problem with a grumpy old fart, as long as is he capable of interactions and development.


Again, welcome. Don't be afraid to ask if you have questions.
@gcold Good news, I actually won't be going out of town.


Take-out and TV beats traveling vacation, eh?

Any thoughts for how an oddball Dunmer battlemage might conceivably make her debut?


Our group won't be staying in Windhelm forever, and they certainly will perform tasks outside of their contract. Your character doesn't have to sign up as a mercenary, or even meet with the rest of us in Windhelm. Here's some suggestions for getting yourself in with the group. Of course, that's assuming she has reasons to travel to Skyrim in the first place.

  • Being wealthy, she might be looking to hire contractors for purposes such as protection, manual labor, getting even with rivals or going after artifacts she doesn't trust standard hirelings to handle.
  • She accidentally runs into the company, and decide to stick with them for safety (more armed guys = less robbery %) and/or companionship.
  • She has a friend or rival working as a mercenary, and for whatever reason, wants to find them. @Hank's character was a Redoran battlemage, and @Peik's dude did slave raiding in northern Black Marsh. You can even make your own NPC.
  • Malevolent intents. For example, your character needs lab rats "volunteers" for experiments, or perhaps she wants use the mercenaries as scapegoats for her own crimes. For the sake of balance, something like that won't act out quickly or smoothly. Your character could start by gaining the company's trust, then have second thoughts betraying them once she got to know them.

Hey hey, spiffy interest check you got here.
