The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

@gcold

Will post today once I'm finished with uni.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - Crimson Skies

In case you saw the message on the OOC that we are full up, we are now taking more applications due to drop-outs; give it a look if you're interested.

@BurningCold

Myself and Leos are still discussing some things to do with the style, but we've agreed that combat will be independently written to an extent - dice rolls will come into it, but we'll let you know as soon as we've fully decided.

I can say for definite that you don't have to worry about your character's dying. Dice rolls will probably be to do with injuries, loot, and number/difficulty of the enemy the group or individual is facing. We'll just be doing this to avoid too much GM control in the battles (and make it less biased for our own characters, of course), and to make sure nothing unlikely happens. E.G. Somebody finds an old chest with an easy lock in a cave somewhere, and inside is a full set of ebony armour.

Once we've got the details hashed out, there'll be a section put in the OOC for everyone to look at.

@Nariata
Many apologies. I couldn't remember if you came from the OOC or the Interest Check, so I forgot to tag you about this being up. So, here be the tagging, go forth and character create.

@lordofthepies
Haven't heard from you yet - I'd like to know if you're still interested. If this message goes unanswered after 24 hours, you lose your spot.
EDIT: As you've not been online for a couple of days, I'll extend this until you actually log on and see the message.

@ethanjory
We have an opening, if you're still interested.

@dereken

Being a high-casual roleplay, I'll need a lot more detail in your CS. As stated in the rules, I'd like at least 2 in depth paragraphs for appearance and personality; what you've given me so far isn't enough - also, the scar upon his head is listed as long-faded at one point, then prominent the next. Which is it?

As for backstory, it is too vague. Although not quite at the peak of hatred found during Skyrim times, Nord's and Altmer's didn't generally get along very well. The Altmers saw all of the men races inferior; especially Nords, who were seen as nothing more than stupid barbarians - what circumstances occurred for Tandoril's parents to meet, and then stay together long enough to have a child? A child that would very likely be looked down upon in both species.
There's also no mention of his birthplace; was he born in Skyrim, Summerset Isles, or Cryodiil? Additionally, in your skills section you mentioned smithing and leather-work as skills, but there's nothing mentioned in his backstory about it. Block is also there, but he doesn't use nor own a shield, so why is it a skill?

It would also be worth noting that sellswords aren't particularly skilled in fighting, unless they received training from elsewhere - usually ex-military or guards, etc. If Tandoril is skilled in all manners of fighting as the skills section dictates, I'm going to need more evidence of training than simply being taught by his father.

Why did Tandoril leave his parents? 34 is still young by Altmer standards, and his mother would know that enough to not want him to leave. Even without Daedra, Tamriel is a dangerous place for the naive.

Extra: Places of worship in the Elder Scrolls are Chapels, not Churches.

Great start, but there are a few things in his backstory that need tweaking.
First off, the Imperial Thieves Guild. The Imperial faction of the Thieves Guild were considered as nothing more than myths, and weren't particularly successful or lucrative during this time - they just stayed quiet and hidden. Therefore, it would be very unlikely for them to reach out to new members so openly - especially all the way to Vvardenfell. As for the Morrowind faction, they were extremely premature and small compared to the Camonna Tong - I'm also wondering why they'd try so hard to recruit someone of just a journeyman level of sneak, up to the point that this person leaves their home.

Everything else is okay, barring the encounter with the Nerevarine - such a tiny thing as a stranger asking for directions on the road would not stick in someone's mind. They wouldn't suddenly months later realise "Oh, that guy I met for five minutes seven months ago was the Nerevarine." Unless they had eidetic memory or something. So yes, kindly remove that bit.

To the both of you: Everybody seems to be forgetting money in their inventory. They have to have some septims on them somewhere, guys.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - Crimson Skies

Please remember that this roleplay requires applications - only post your characters in the characters tab once they've been accepted by myself and the Co-Gm.

@MiddleEarthRoze

@dereken

I made the rules section for a reason; kindly read the OP entirely to avoid mistakes like this in the future. In the meantime, remove your character from the characters tab and place them in here - I'll review it tomorrow, as it's nearly 2AM currently and I'm too tired to read something properly.

@SkinnehMinneh

Traits as in racial powers? Then yes - just keep in mind that if the character is of mixed blood, the mother's power will be prevalent, and not the fathers.
