The Ghostfence rp: Character thread Options

[jack cloudy]

Use this thread to post your characters, preferably using the form found at the end of this post, but you can make modifications to it if you feel that's necessary for proper portrayal of your character.

Please keep the following rule in mind: No godmode/uber-powerful characters. The intention of this rp is to use characters that are more 'normal' or 'average'. In other words, grunts and mooks.

What follows is a short outline of the story by Dantrag.

Ghostfence plot:

The year is 3E 407, and the Tribunal has ordered the construction of the ghostfence to keep the blight and Dagoth Ur's minions at bay. A few months into the project, attacks on construction crews by ash vampires and the like have become so common that Ordinators, Temple associates, Armigers, and the various helpers from the Great Houses are no longer enough to keep the project going on schedule. In addition, scavenging crews responsible for obtaining building materials from the ashlands have been unable to operate for the same reason. Because of pressure from his superiors, the commander at Ghostgate (who i'm too lazy to name at the moment) is forced to hire out mercenaries and mercenary groups from all over Tamriel. (that frees up the races so we aren't limited to dunmer.)

Now here's the twist. As we play, the commander will send people on various missions that aren't outright suspicious, but don't really make sense either. Eventually, the commander is found to be a Sleeper working for Dagoth Ur, but being mercenaries with no pull in Vvardenfell politics, the players are forced to deal with the problem themselves.

Also, this rp will start at a caravan that's headed for the new Ghostgate. For no good reason, and with generous abuse of power that's not mine, I've decided right here and right now that the caravan will depart from Balmora. This is because Balmora is a central hub that most people are likely to be familiar with.

Anyway, here's the form.

Alright, I've got my bio up, and this time it's in the right thread!

Name: Erna Rahnis

Race: Dark elf

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Birthsign: The Lord

Focus: Espionage

Skills: Speech, short blade

Appearance: Erna is a man of averages-he is of average height, average weight and of average build. It is almost impossible to notice him in a crowd. He isn’t ugly, he isn’t handsome and he has no scars or tattoos. He has white hair common among most Dunmer, crimson eyes and slightly paler skin than your average Morrowind dweller, but apart from this he is barely noticeable.

Mental/personality description: Erna is, to say the least, a maniac, and a dangerous one at that. He takes great enjoyment in inflicting pain and misery upon others, and will happily wait a long time for the optimum opportunity to do so. He can easily fool others into thinking he is sane, with a cheerful and outgoing personality, but he uses this as a way to lure anyone into a trap where there is no way out, without his say so-and that means of escape will invariably be filled with pain and suffering.

Weapons: A short dagger and a handheld crossbow.

Clothing: Large coat to protect against the ash-storms and thick, heavy boots.

Bio: Erna’s past is shrouded in mystery-no one knows where he comes from, who he works for or why he does. Currently posing as a merchant wishing to sell his wares at the Ghostfence, Erna is there to fulfil whatever shadowy motive he has been ordered to do. While he seems to be helpless against any skilled opponent, and while people sometimes hate him, there’s something behind his eyes that can transfix people and draw them in, until he plants a dagger straight into their heart.
