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.

Thought I'd go for a bit of comedy relief this time.


Name: James Pathertrory

Race:Breton (werewolf)

Class:Spellsneaker (essentially a wizard with a slight tendency of 'liberating' goods from other people) :grin:

Skills: Master Illusionist, Enchanter and Alchemist. As well as an enormous talent of getting on other peoples nerves.

Age: 19

Gender:Male

Sign:Atronach

Appearance: James is tall with long dark hair and green eyes. He wears a rather battered set of leather armour and black clothing.

Equipment: A trusty iron dagger as well as an elven shortblade. An enchanted bag that holds his alchemy equipment, lockpicks, probes and other enchanted nick knacks that has no real use.

Personality: Cynical, sarcastic, arrogant, overconfident, strangely enough kind, and a virtually non existant temper, and a strong moon-sugar addiction.

History: James like every person in his family is a born werewolf, coupled with his birthsign and racial abilities he is very resistant to magic. Ever since he was a child James has been unusually intelligent, and after witnessing the cruelties of the world his high intellect has given him a very twisted and cynical view on the world. He knows that he is smarter than most and tries to put logic down to everything including the most basic of emotions.

He comes from a very poor family and ran away from home when he was six years old. And while his fighting abilities are as poor as they come his intelligence and mastery of illusions of all kinds has made him into an incredible skilled thief.

When over the years he has been in many fights and the only reason he has survived as long as he has is that he managed to find out a way to control the werewolf within, so he can change into a fearsome werewolf at will, though he is still forced to go feral once a month. Though transforming makeshim that much tougher it does put an incredible strain on his mental powers, quite often leaving him weak afterwards.

Reason to join the caravan: James is if nothing an opportunist. Promises of large monetary sums from an unknown party for helping drew him in quickly enough and so he seeks to use his skills as best he can to earn money.
