This roleplay is a reboot of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/179276-the-elder-scrolls-days-of-night/ic]Days of Night[/url], and will lend from horror tropes and tales from mythology. A macabre experience bound in the high-fantasy setting we have come to know and love. This game is for you if you enjoy collaborating with other writers, and if you enjoy building a storyline for yourself.

You dreamed of Anvil in a way that felt like a calling, and so - from wherever you were born, from wherever you once called home - you traveled to it's golden shores. Everything is not as it seems. The days seem shorter and the nights much longer, with a chill in the air that draws a tension to the City. People are quieter, and people are going missing. The barkeep who served you an ale last night is nowhere to be seen today. The woman who sold you a new garment last week has disappeared without a trace. There are whispers of a silent killer. [i]Why are you here? Why did you answer to those dreams?[/i] [h2]Noteworthy - World State[/h2] [list] [*] The year is 4E213, the Stormcloaks were defeated and Skyrim sits under the Empire. The Dragonborn has not been seen since the Battle at Windhelm. Empire and Dominion have a tense peace. Presumed dead. No dragons remain in Skyrim. [*] Individual guild/school states to be confirmed; [*] State of provinces to be confirmed; [/list] [/indent] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/230219/66237ef4baf484b90fedef50702be0da.png[/img] [indent][list] [*] No Godmodding or Powerplaying. This is a story, not a competition to be Billy or Betty Badass. Keep your characters balanced. I don't want to enforce strict rules that stifle your creativity in creating a character, I will always be reasonable and work with you to create a compelling character with the skills that you want but you have to be prepared to tone things down if necessary. [*] While this is advanced level, I'm not hung up on novel length posts. I'm looking for players who can write well enough, collaborate with other players, and keep the momentum of the story. No pressure, we're here for fun. [*] Be considerate, communicate. If you can't post for whatever reason, just let me know. If you're working on collabs with other players, let them know too. [*] Be kind. I really, really, really don't want dick behaviour in the OOC, it doesn't foster the kind of atmosphere I like to create. So be nice to each other, respectful, and helpful. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I will remove people who start ruining the groove. [*] Keep it PG-13. You know the rules of the guild. No naughty posts in the IC. If you really have to, take it to PM. [*] Have fun. The most important rule of all. [h2]Noteworthy:[/h2] [*] Due to the setting of this game, please be aware that your characters will be exposed to perilous situations from time-to-time. They can get hurt, they can get [i]very[/i] hurt. Please be mindful when engaging in combat of your skills and setbacks, and who is around to help you should you get [i]very[/i] hurt. [*] Please no prior relationships with canonical characters from any of The Elder Scrolls games. If you wish to write up prior relationships with other player characters within the game, then by all means please do so as it can be fun. But it's also just as fun to be ~total strangers~... [*] Be sensible in your capabilites. That means try not to weigh down your character with a full inventory. We’ve all been there in game, with that one extra cabbage tipping us over the edge! I like to play TES roleplays realistically - and anything that your character has, must be explained in some way. For example, if they are carrying a lot of money on them - why is this? Are they from a rich family? They have a pretty swish weapon but pretty basic armour? Was it an heirloom? These are things I will question on sheets. [*] Vampires/Were/Undead characters will not be accepted at initial application stage. Despite the setting, the start of the roleplay will not allow for those characters - there is always opportunity for those storylines to occur, and further down the line in the roleplay there may be openings for characters of a [i]grizzlier[/i] nature. But for the beginning, a character like that is simply too different from the initial cast. With that in mind, I am always open to your ideas so please talk to me in advance.

[B]Race:[/B] Nord/Imperial/Breton/Redguard/Altmer/Bosmer/Dunmer/Argonian/Khajiit [B]Age:[/B] [B]Birthsign:[/b] [B]Family Origins:[/B] Place of birth, where they live/grew up etc. [B]Appearance:[/B] Pictures allowed, [b]no anime[/b]. Try to keep lore friendly images. Pinterest is a great tool. [hr] [B]Personality:[/B] I want to know who your character is. What makes them tick, what do other people think of them? Of all sections on this sheet, this should be the most thought out and detailed. [hr] [B]History:[/B] A brief history of your character. How they got to where they are now, examples of 2 or 3 notable events. A glimpse of who they were to become who they are. Don’t be too hung up on it, part of this Roleplay will be allowing players to reveal and flesh out their backstory through flashbacks and through uncovering as we go. I don’t really want to know what they were doing at 5 years old unless it was really important. With that said, don't go throwing in anything unbelievably wild down the track. [B]Biggest Regret:[/B] This is incredibly important, it can be an event you didn’t cover in the history. But I want to see what has crippled your character, what decision has stayed with them since they made it. [B]Character Name ‘s Goal:[/B] Equally as important, if not more so than anything else on this sheet. This is how I will craft my story around you, and find you an arc. What is your characters dream [i]now[/i]? If this was a solo adventure and your character was the hero - what happens to them? Do not write this section based on other characters submitted. Be selfish, tell me what [b]you[/b] want. The dream of your character may well change, and that is also fine. [hr] [B]Skills:[/B] This section gets a bit more complicated. Using the main skills of the game (two handed, smithing, destruction, illusion, lock picking, pick pocketing, shield, et cetera) things are rated by proficiency. You may have 1 expert skill, 2 adept skills, and 3 novice. You may, however, move up a class at the expense of another skill of the level below it (e.g. you pick 1 expert at the cost of 2 adept). Likewise, you can gain more skills if you downgrade a skill (1 expert becomes 2 adept, 1 adept can be 3 novice). Explain why your character is good at each skill in a brief sentence. If in doubt, ask! Normally TES games may use 1 x 3 x 3 for skills, but I want to try it scaled back. Sometimes we get too caught up in the details and approximations of skills and spells etc. While there is structure, let's go with the flow. Let's see what works for your character and makes sense. Also again, don't be put off writing the character you want to because someone else wrote x type. I am more than happy to GM this game around 4 Argonian thieves if those are the characters that are working. [b]Expert:[/b] [b]Adept:[/b] [b]Novice:[/b] [b]Spells:[/b] Should match the level you’ve put as the school of magicka. No Wall of Flames for a novice destruction mage, for example. [B]Equipment:[/B] [B]Misc. Possessions:[/B] [/hider] [h2]Noteworthy:[/h2] [list] [*] Applications welcome. Please complete the sheet to the best of your ability. No places will be given as first-come-first-served. I will review all sheets after a length of time has passed, and I have been able to answer questions.
