🗡 Roses and Daggers 🎕

Um, hi! Always going to be awkward as hell with these, so I figured I'd get it over with and express a tentative interest?

I have a couple of ideas for potential characters, and a couple of questions, to help get a better idea of what's accurate... and hopefully without sounding awfully out of line, I'm just going to toss a few of them down now.

Firstly, this seems to be a sort of 'Slice of Life' RP set in more medieval times with a focus on romance and court intrigue? Do I have that right? Or is there some other plot point I'm missing out on?

Second... how prevalent is magic, really, here? Are we talking about things like elves, unicorns and dragons, or is it just humans who exist? Both are good, I just want that pinned down.

Last, how restricting is the concept? Like, can characters come from any and all backgrounds, or do they have to be nobility/related to nobility in some way? Employed by them, hates them/hated by them, etc.?

Oblivion: Wrath of Akatosh

On one hand, I'm tempted, not least because it's been a while since I've RP'ed.

On the other hand, I've only ever played Skyrim, but have never completed the game, and even my knowledge of that era is dubious at best.

On the third hand, you guys seem to be missing your 'rogue', as in, someone who is sneaky and stabby and may or may not be a thief, which is something I have been itching to play, lately.

On the fourth, I'm rusty, and I worry that I wouldn't be able to keep up, especially with IRL obligations and such, and I'm entirely unfamiliar with the Oblivion system, as it were.

Disturbing number of hands aside, I'm conflicted.

The Elder Scrolls: Stormcrown Interregnum

Posting interest. I'm divided between an alchemist/spellsword type of character and a wayward orcish prince. Leaning towards the former so I don't rip off my own D&D characters.

@Lightning Fast

Welp... might need to fight me for that alchemy. I just figured that part out.

The Elder Scrolls: Stormcrown Interregnum

Hmm... I'm a little reticent to apply since I don't know all that much about the lore of TES (only game being Skyrim). But I like the concept and I would love to get involved? Debating what sort of character I'd like to play... I notice a distinct lack of a focused 'rogue' type, but I've also been on a bit of a healer kick for a long while.

vampires versus werewolves.

I'm throwing in with the werewolves, much as I love vampires, I like the doggos more.

Falling Skies: Reboot (Mecha, Space Opera)

I mean, I'm interested, Myke, but I need to figure out if I can make the sheet or not. It's very complicated! 😂

For Whom the Bell Tolls

@Ozzoquen I've been working on an IC post, slowly but surely, but I don't think Malachi is the sort that would run into Judas by chance. 😅 They'd seem to live in very different areas.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Malachi

APPEARANCE __________________________________________________________________________ In a crowd, Malachi wouldn't necessarily stand out. Short brown hair, brown eyes, a slight tan, and maybe a little on the taller side, he could be just any other college kid. He takes care of himself as best he can - semi-regular exercise has kept him in shape, if not athletic. He dresses nicely enough, for a college student - they're not necessarily the newest clothes, but they're practical, and he likes them. His wardrobe almost entirely consists of jeans and plaid shirts, with a number of jackets, tank tops and other items to add some variety. PERSONALITY __________________________________________________________________________ Compassionate | Dedicated | Reliable | Headstrong | Reclusive Malachi has always been distant from his peers, and responded poorly to many authority figures throughout his life. He doesn't actively push people away, but there is a wall that he has built around himself, and only a few people can break through it. The root of it is because of his childhood, but after a while, it just became... comfortable. On the other side of that, is a responsible and caring young man that refuses to give up. Once he's decided he's going to do something, he'll stick by it - even if it's reckless or it lands him in a spot of trouble afterwards. When it comes to animals or young children, Malachi isn't afraid to show a more vulnerable side of himself - he's often visibly happier when interacting with them, and he's good at comforting them and calming them down. BIOGRAPHY __________________________________________________________________________ Still working on this, so here's a synopsis Block 1- Childhood/early-mid teens. Malachi was essentially the caretaker of an ill or disabled family member (parent or sibling), meaning a lot of his time was spent between them and school, leaving little time for friendships or extracurriculars. Other family member (single parent if sibling, or uncle/aunt/grandparent if parent) would have been working constantly in order to support the ill relative's healthcare and other needs. Many teachers do not understand/know/ignore the situation, leading to Malachi's general disrespect. Block 2- Late teens. Support/therapy dog was acquired in the form of a 2-3 year old dog (german shepherd, golden retriever or mutt mix; all are irl support dogs used for this purpose), in preparation for Malachi starting at the nearby college. Unfortunately, due to the disability/illness, family member was hospitalised and didn't make it (they had specified DNR; Do Not Resuscitate). Cue small funeral, with Malachi and other family member being only relatives. Other family member makes sure Malachi gets to keep the dog. Block 3- Early 20s/present day. Malachi and dog are living alone in childhood house/maybe moved to apartment, studying (one of: premed/vetinary care/childcare/teaching). Other family member checks in with him periodically, but they and Malachi have a hard time connecting. Malachi spends most of his time at college or at home - still no extracurriculars or close friends. Mostly reads, watches TV/YouTube/Netflix, or takes dog on hikes. OTHER __________________________________________________________________________ #20B2AA Malachi can use ASL (American Sign Language) This character is currently not disposable. His dog, being a retired service dog, can understand some more complex commands and resist stereotypical canine weaknesses, e.g., meat, chasing squirrels/cats, etc. Preferrably not disposable.🦮🐕‍🦺 Once/If weapons become relevant, Malachi would end up preferring a hunting rifle and/or a pistol.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Apologies for not getting mine done just yet 😅

What with the holidays and all, I haven't had a proper chance to get something actually written up. Plus my older sister's birthday is the 28th, so we really don't get a break this time of year.
