For the record, image didn't show properly.
<Snipped quote by gcold>

It's not very usual but I've seen some documented cases of child soldiers in WWI at the very least (as an example of child soldiers in legitimate armies, and not some African warlord's drag band). And 'camp people' were a thing, be they traders, washers, cooks or prostitutes.

<Snipped quote by gcold>

It wasn't unusual for young men to be considered adults by medieval standards. He was pressganged into service and was a bugle boy who also mended shirts and trousers. He was 14 when he crossed into Cyrodiil, if that's worth anything. Also, I'll just change it to a J soon. Changed.


I see, that makes sense.

And I assume you approve of your own char, Leiden?
Yeah. I always appreciate a character who's just simply a nice guy.


This is also true in real life.

@Leidenschaft Some minor nitpicks from me.

-In Nordic orthography, the palatal approximant is represented by <j> rather than <y>. Which means your guy should be "Jorwen" instead of "Yorwen". With that said, it seems like the old Atmoran spelling used <y>, so if you want to keep his name, add an explanation for that old-fashioned spelling.
-I doubt the Legion would conscript someone at the age of 13. Either he lied to join, pressured by peer, or taken by more unorthodox commanders.

@ClocktowerEchos Did you ninja in a skill? I swear there was one less...

@HHShetland Standing in this corner; hailing from Riften, Skyrim; the undercat champion; Tennant Ibnazh!



Feel free to add your sheet, Shetland.

@Sovi3t @MacabreFox Still reading, sorry for the wait guys.
<Snipped quote by gcold>

They used to be pretty commonplace in Morrowind. But I guess being chronologically 200 years in the past doesn't help.


Pardon me if I'm about to say anything wrong, it's been a while since I played Morrowind.

There were two types of crossbows in Morrowind, Steel and Dwarven. The Dwarven variant is not common at all, so it's out of the question. Steel Xbows, on the other hand, is only mass-produced by professional organizations like the Imperial Legion. Remember the Legion were much more powerful in the 3rd era than the 4th, which translates to less crossbows produced today. Although they take less training to shoot, they make for it with more training to maintain. A crossbow is mechanically complex relative to the standard bow. Not to mention, building bolts require a different and less known process than arrows.



I'm looking through the sheets right now, will get back to you guys ASAP.
@HHShetland The gist of your character is good, but it is over the top at certain parts.

-Master skills are no longer allowed, in addition, putting in weaknesses also does not automatically grant you skill points. Plus, lack of weapon and armor can be easily sidestepped by Tennant. You must reduce hand-to-hand to expert (at least), and choose one of the following. A; bust both athletics and unarmored to adept. B; lower one of them, but change woodworking and acrobatics to apprentice.
-You said Do'Zaddha couldn't even remember Tennant's name but still saw him as more than a ticket to fame. What exactly do you mean here? How much did Do'Zaddha value Tennant?
-Beating a troll with his bare hands in kind of a stretch, even for a expert. It's like killing a gorilla in a fist fight. I don't care if you're Hulk Hogan, Mike Tyson or Kim Jung-il, it's not gonna happen. He must need some kind of edge over the troll, whether that be the troll was injured, poisoned, or Tennant sneaked up on it.

@ClocktowerEchosThere are some issues, I can't accept it at this state.

-Half-Orc is not gonna cut it, especially when it's his father's half. If he doesn't know exactly, put the race he looks like the most, or the one people associate him with the most.
-Crossbows are rare tech on Tamriel. A band of "merry hunters" are not likely to have one, and even if they do, ammo is gonna be another problem. I advise switching to bow, or downgrading it to a semi-functional piece with less than 10 bolts.
-Personality seems to be very brief and lacking, please expand with more details.
-Please mind you writing, words and phrases like "sniper", "CQC" and "mountain climbing pick" do not fit the setting. For the the pick in particular, ice picks aren't invented until the 18th century. Before that, people used Alpenstocks.
-What is his hood really enchanted with? If you don't want to reveal to everyone else, at least PM Leiden and I.

Feel free to post it in the characters tab.
@gcold I think it owuld be best if we went with the idea you mentioned of pairing the blade skills to 1H blade, 1H blunt, 2H blade, 2H blunt. It makes it simplier when it comes to make a bio or at least it does from my perspective, Not to mention it owuld be a bit awkward/wierd to have something, like this "1 Handed expert, Blade adept" in the skill section of a bio. But that's my take on the issue and I might nto be gettign the full pciture.


Fair enough; changes made.
I don't think so. Best check with Gcold next time you get a chance, though. I'm a bit rusty on that point too and we're still trying to hammer out the CS and the skills. I do want to see if we're on the same page about taking Shield off the list. I mean, there's not really much skill to using a shield. You just really put it on your arm and now its there.


Sure it doesn't take much skill to put it on your arm, using it effectively in combat does. Everyone can hold it in front of their face, but there's a lot of tricks with it. Angles in which you hold it can be important, for example, if you do not give enough coverage for your legs, you'll find arrows or spells kneecapping you. On the other hand, it also takes training and experience to pair the shield up with an one handed weapon. Knowing when to cover up, when to swing, how to optimize swinging that piece of metal and bashing with another piece of wood is no easy feat.

Shield formations back in the days are highly-trained, or least the winning ones. Hell, even modern day cops train with riot shields.

So my take is, shield stays.

Regarding 1H/2H and blunt/blade, I'm willing to change to; 1H blade, 1H blunt, 2H blade, 2H blunt. Let me know if that's what you want.

Caileach


It is a Celtic name. Celtic names are associated with Reachman, and occasionally, Bretons. I would suggest one of two changes. First, a Latinized variant, something like Caeloux. Alternatively, you could insert some Reachmen lineage in his history.
Alright folks, we are live.
