The Elder Forums I

So, as the title suggests, this will be a roleplay based inside of the Elder Scrolls universe (Most likely mainly set in Tamriel). It would be easier if you know more about the universe/the games themselves, but if you don't, you can still participate. If you haven't played the games before, they are essentially set in a typical fantasy world, with magic and swords etc. Any questions you want to ask I will be happy to answer, either here or through my email (anthonypfulmann@hotmail.com). Concerning the role play, I was thinking of having the characters created meet in a local inn, and embark on an adventure from there, people don't have to be complete strangers from the start either, previous relations could be established below before we start, and even after, if someone wants to join after the roleplay has already started. Character sheets will be normal ones (with names, age, any sort of information to be known about your character), plus things specific to the Elder Scrolls games. (Below)

Name- Any name is acceptable, though a more old fashioned name may be more appropriate. If you would like to choose one from the actual game, lists can be found here (just click races at the top for race specific names)

Race- Your race can be one of the races from Nirn, but if you want you can have your own race from something else.Information on races is here.

“Class”- Although in game their are many things to customize, I think it should be safe to omit most numbers and more complicated things. So an easier way to make a “class” is to choose one of the major schools of skill (stealth, magic, and combat), and other more specific skills to specialize in. (Do as you wish here, just try not to make your character unfair compared to others i.e. If you want to create a mage type character, having them specialize in magic, but saying they are good at all types of magic, alchemy, etc. would be unfair, perhaps try just restoration, and mysticism for example)

Birthsign- The will be a constellation that your character was born under, giving them augmented skills, or special powers that can only be used once a day (again, simplifications should be made, for example, the Apprentice sign grants +100 Magicka, but 100% weakness to magic, but the numbers do not matter much, just assume your character can cast spells more powerful than others, but not everyone, depending on character builds.) If you really wanted, you could create your own birthsign, and specify its abilities and weaknesses. In general, the more powerful a sign is the higher the weakness is to a certain type of attack or other. Be sure to check with me and anyone else planning to join and make sure the birthsign isn't considered too powerful.(once again, here is a link to a list of birthsigns)

Name: Ja-Kaasha

Race: Khajiit

Class: stealth. She is good with a bow and she is very fast. She loves a good challenge and loves to have fun. She is kind hearted but not very deep. She's not interested easily.

Birthsign: Thief

Name: Beau

Race: Breton

Class: Magic. Illusion, speechcraft, and mercantile. In combat, uses a longsword in combination with his magic to deadly effect.

Birthsign (custom): Chameleon. Once a day, the user can take the shape of another person for one minute. ((It's ok if I have to change this or maybe add a weakness to balance.))

Nope, the birthsign sounds fair enough to me, if anyone disagrees however I hope we can all be friends and discuss such things calmly

Still open for more Sign ups...

Name: Gidge

Race: Gnome

Class: Mage, specializing in destruction and restoration. She is very quick, agile, and light on her feet, preferring to fight while on the move to standing in one place. This also reflects her personality, thoughts flitting from one to the next with a thin filter between brain and mouth.

Birthsign: Mage

Glad you decided to join! If the others decide they still want to participate, I would be perfectly comfortable with starting now!

Name: Amusei

Race: Argonian

Class: Specializes in stealth. His major skills are sneak, lockpicking, light armor and one-handed (namely daggers)

Birthsign: Shadow

I'm still down!

Awesome! What about you Fly?

yeahhhh

Cools, Ill start working on the new post!

Name: Agregor

Race: Imperial

Class: -Major skills: Heavy armor, 2-handed (mainly great-swords but can wield a great-axe if need be), 1-handed (mainly long-swords), and Blacksmithing
         -Minor skills: Light armor, restoration magic (light healing and a stone skin), and enchanting (only his own weapons)
Weapons---- (they are named) Gloria- long-sword, enchanted with life steal; Brutus- Great broadsword enchanted with damage reduction (avoids 10% damage)

Birth-sign- Paladin: born in the light, standing my ground with regret; being unable to be knock down by any foe (except dragons)

i tried to stay with in your limits, hope you approve

Im thinking you should add a slight weakness to the paladin sign, such as like a 20% weakness to poison, or something keeping in the paladin theme if you wish. OR you could say that it is a greater power, though the time limit could be longer than most (3-7 minutes or so)

well its more like a passive, so i cant ever got knocked down,... by normal means, yeh i think i can go with the the weekness thing, oh how about im vulnerable to attacks from behind? thatll work

Sure!

Name- John

Race- Khajiit

Class- Berserker: When he is tested, John will go off like a bomb. He will kill everything in sight until there is no life in the area, or until he calms down. He is slower to anger around friends, and is very useful in the midst of enemies. However, if someone tries to steal from or insult him, may the eight have pity on them and anyone who tries to settle him. It's best to let it go and keep a distance.

Birthsign- Warrior

Could you elaborate a bit on your class Gin? Other than that Its sounds fine!

lol Sorry, I edited.

Name: Togarr Skullcrusher

Race:Orc

Class: Warchief-Major One-Handed (Dual Wield Axes/Swords and Axes), Heavy Armor, Ranged (Axes and Spears)
Minor-Two Handed, Lockpick, Light Armor
Birthsign-Warrior

Sounds good to me!
