Skyrim: Dragonsbane

Okay, so this is a high casual Skyrim roleplay - my first attempt, so kindly run with me on this.
EDIT: The co-GM is Leos Klien, so he can answer any questions you have as well as myself.

As one would imagine, a main flaw with roleplays based on games is that someone has to be: 'The Chosen One/Dragonborn/The Badass FPS''... you get the gist of it.
So, I had developed a plotline that will sort this out:
Basically, it is set during the events of the game Skyrim, 4E 201. The Civil War has begun, tensions are high, and of course, the Dragons have returned; with them a Male Nord by the name of Alyx, a Prisoner of Helgen, and the Dragonborn of lore.
Unfortunately, Alyx died quite soon after he killed his first dragon, leaving the world without its prophesied Hero to save it. The Greybeards were astounded, the Holds were horrified, and the High Elves... well, they didn't really care; he was a Nord, after all. With the Dragonborn dead, the dragons spread from Skyrim to the other countries of Tamriel, wreaking havoc as they did.

However, not all were about to lay down and accept their fate. Countless members of the nations of Tamriel bound together in the country of Skyrim, pledging to work, no matter their race, their religion, or their past, to destroy the dragon menace, defeat Alduin, and save the world from his cruel and hungry maw.
That is where you come in.

While you are within this group - named 'Dovahfeyn' - you are free to leave and do as you please. Kill dragons along your way - take part in the Civil War, whatever side you wish. Join factions, guilds, brotherhoods; the world is open to you.
Just remember... the longer you tarry in your quest, the stronger Alduin becomes. If your group needs you, you must go.

Rules:
No Godplay.
Correct grammar and spelling at all times, please. I'll let small mistakes go, but seriously people, the computer has spellcheck for a reason.

IMPORTANT NOTE!:
You are NOT Dragonborn! This means that your chances of surviving in the wilderness of Skyrim by yourself are low. If you do wish to go and kill some dragons, do it with allies - you are not invincible. If I see anyone single-handedly killing Blood Dragons, Giants and hosts of Bandits while replenishing health with cheese, I will kill them off, and you'll be restarting everytime in the fiery planes of Oblivion.
The same goes to show for the other unrealistic things in Skyrim - you cannot scale a mountain on a horse, shooting someone and then hiding will not make you magically disappear, and no matter how high your sneak skill is, PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU IF YOU ARE STOOD RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

Right, on the basis of how you develop your characters:
You can name your own specializations, such as Mage, Warrior, Thief, etc. Just state what skills you're prominent in, and what skills you're not - e.g. a Mage would be specialized in most magics, but not really other things, and smaller thief like people will not have the muscles or strength to do two-handed, heavy armour, smithing, etc.. Also, developing skills and travelling will take time. Travelling from city to city will not take you an hour, it'll take days, if we're doing this realistically. Other than the Dragonborn Quest, any other Quests are still going to be normal - if I make any changes to some of the more major ones (Thieves Guild, Assassins Guild, etc.) I'll let you all know.

Character Sheet:
Please note that you are permitted to take any of the NPC's from the game and roleplay as them - just ask first, and I'll most likely say yes - just in case you've always wanted to go further with a certain character's storyline or dialogue.

Name: ((Something applicable to your race, please.))
Age: ((No younger than 16.))
Race: ((You already know them...I hope.))
Class: ((See above.))
Appearance: ((You can use a picture or description.))
Personality: ((When stating personality here, please carry it over into the roleplay - trust me, sometimes it's tempting to stray.))
Bio: ((Doesn't have to be super in depth, just state why your character joined, basic backstory, aspirations, etc.))
Equipment: ((Any notable weapons, armour, etc, that your character carries. This can include self-made things and spells, just ask me first. Also, make sure your weapons/armour are in line with your Class. A Rogue won't be wearing Ebony Armour.))
Other: ((Any extra information you'd like to add.))

This Roleplay is now closed! However, if you are particularly interested, please PM myself, or either of the two co-GMs (That's Leos Klien, and ManoftheNorth), and we'll notify you if there's been a change. :)

/bluescreensEverything I remember about FGW is now officially a lie O_O My childhood is ruined, RUINED!We're getting off track anyways, so I'll just concede the point.

Haha.
''Off-track''.
XD . I love accidental puns.

You're forgetting that muggle technology explicitly does not work within the castle grounds.

Yes, that's a canon fact. However, I said this as a headcanon. Electricity gets shorted out by magic, but surely there would be some way of getting over this - which I'm sure wouldn't hurt if we exploited this in the RP.
And Lennon, good point which I was about to ask about. When are we setting this? During the book timeline, the movie timeline, or are we starting as it is now?

I like the thought of my character biting into an electric circuit and learning the absolute beginning of molding lightning.Or something of that accord. On his own free time, he'll make his own lightning spells. They'll probably be useless and meaningless in the beginnings, though. Maybe. Is that possible, GM?

He should totally be yelling 'Thudercats!', or 'In the name of THOR!' when he does that. XD I'm already thinking up some awesome Muggleborn things that Purebloods are all like 'WTF' at.

Galactic Displacement (Mass Effect/Star Wars Crossover RP)

Anyone planning a post tonight?

In this roleplay - I would imagine that we could incorporate plenty of HP facts - but are we only sticking with canon facts? Because I've seen some awesome headcanons stating that some Muggleborns hooked up some wi-fi in the Room of Requirement.
Just think: Movie marathons from netflix in Hogwarts. It would be awesome. Especially when seeing Purebloods react to epic space battles and fantasy films. XD

Skyrim: Dragonsbane

Okay, so this is a high casual Skyrim roleplay - my first attempt, so kindly run with me on this. The 2 co-GMs are Leos Klien, and ManoftheNorth so they can answer any questions you have as well as myself.

Plotline!

As one would imagine, a main flaw with roleplays based on games is that someone has to be: 'The Chosen One/Dragonborn/The Badass FPS''... you get the gist of it. So, I had developed a plotline that will sort this out: Basically, it is set during the events of the game Skyrim, 4E 201. The Civil War has begun, tensions are high, and of course, the Dragons have returned; with them a Male Nord by the name of Alyx, a Prisoner of Helgen, and the Dragonborn of lore. Unfortunately, Alyx died quite soon after he killed his first dragon, leaving the world without its prophesied Hero to save it.

Just remember... the longer you tarry in your quest, the stronger Alduin becomes. If your group needs you, you must go.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! I have an update! The Roleplay is going to be in two halves, both very different from each other. As you know, the First half follows mainly the Dovahfeyn quest to vanquish Alduin and the dragons. This will be a mainly linear roleplay, and will only touch on a few of the side-questlines from the game; killing dragons is your number one priority, after all. However, the second part of the roleplay will be much more sandbox related - it'll be wider, and will give you and your character more freedom in what quests to do, as there aren't any dirty great big dragons flying around trying to kill you. As for what the plotline of the second half is... Sorry sweeties; Spoilers! Rules: No Godplay. Correct grammar and spelling at all times, please. I'll let small mistakes go, but seriously people, the computer has spellcheck for a reason. IMPORTANT NOTE!: You are NOT Dragonborn! This means that your chances of surviving in the wilderness of Skyrim by yourself are low. If you do wish to go and kill some dragons, do it with allies - you are not invincible.

Extra Information

Only Orcs can teach Orcish smithing; alternatively, you learnt it from someone who learnt it from an Orc. And then it won’t be as good. Glass (Malachite) requires special training, because.... c’mon people, it’s glass. It’ll be hard to work. Dwemer (And Akaviri, but we won’t have much of that) smithing can only happen if you find Dwemer manuscripts in the ruins. Alternatively, you could copy existing designs, but again, they won’t be as good or effective. Ebony requires training. Daedric armour is exceptionally hard to craft. Like, seriously. Like, not even Chuck Norris could do it. And he can slam a revolving door. So, for Daedric armour, you have to travel to Oblivion, and/or make a deal with a Daedric Prince, but otherwise, no. It’s complex to do it, and besides, you need a Daedra heart – there’s not going to be many of them – fresh ones, at that – kicking about. Elven armour – Altmer training required. Bonemold armour – requires training. Chitin Armour – requires access to Solstheim and/or trader operating from there. Which will be likely, but not abundant. Extended knowledge in smithing and enchanting required to repair and enchant weapons/armour, etc. Requires training from some sort of mage. Or you can pay someone else to do it. Lances/crossbows/arrows/etc. Require training. Fletching ain’t easy people. Overall, smithing isn’t as vague as the rest of the skills. If you improve smithing, it’ll be in a certain field; becoming an expert in glass-work will not help you improve in Orcish, etc.

I'm in! I love HP roleplays, and it'd be nice to have one centered more on the lessons and stuff rather than the 'Chosen One' all the time. :)
