Sutch's Woe planning/discussion thread-recruiting now! Options

[Colonel Mustard]

Word!

This is the thread for planning out the Sutch-based RP we (myself, Acadian, Uleni Athram and Darkness Eternal) have started for general discussion of the RP itself.

Also, the title is totally a placeholder one and is up for change. Whether it will be changed or not, well, we'll see.


NOTE: As of 21/01/12, with the beginning of the RP proper, we are no longer recruiting.

[Colonel Mustard]

Liking the character sheets so far! I'm a tad hesitant about having the Imperial Champion as part of the character roster, as a big name like that threatens to overshadow everybody else's characters, but aside from that Westley checks out just fine. I'll get my own character sheet up soon; got a Redguard thief planned.

Also, just a small request; would you mind putting up a list of spells your characters know? I know it sounds like a bit of a hassle, but it cuts out the temptation to simply pull something out of thin air when it might be needed.

Pfft. But that ruins all! It gives to much information on the character than it's actually needed.

On the contrary, it means that either myself or Uleni can say; "That spell your character used was complete BS. Please use a more imaginative solution to save your character from whatever predicament they are in." And thus the RP is more enjoyable because it's challenge is consistent and fair for everyone.


Also, my character is here.

Full Name: Tarrick Kratham
Nicknames/Aliases: None
Sex: Male
Religion: He’s aware of the Nine, but is by no means a pious man; he generally works on the assumption that if he leaves them be, they’ll leave him be.

Race: Redguard
Age: 26
Day of Birth: 14th Frostfall
Birthsign: Serpent

Birthplace: Anvil
Occupation: Thief, rogue, rascal, rapscallion and ne’er-do-well


Major Skills: Tarrick excels at getting in and out of places unseen, pickpocketing, picking locks and charming and fast talking other people.
Minor Skills: He’s pretty accurate when he’s throwing a knife, and while he would be overpowered by a trained professional, he can hold his own in a fight with his sabre and daggers. He can brew up poisons of reasonable potency, and knows how to move in light armour, though generally he tries to avoid any situations where he needs it.
Gear: A dozen throwing knives, lockpicking, a sabre and two daggers for when things get hairy, a set of leather armour reinforced with some chainmail, a mortar and pestle for making poisons, a few empty vials, two vials of paralysis poison, two vials of direct damage poison. He also carries a bag of caltrops (four-pronged metal spikes that are scattered on the floor and make walking through that area very painful indeed), a grappling hook with fifty feet of rope, a crowbar for when the lockpicks just don’t work, a few torches and a tinder and flint.


Family: Aside from an ailing mother who he supports, none. He never knew his father, and his mother has never said much about him, and Tarrick has, over the years, constructed an elaborate tale of his father being an Alik’r captain whose love of his mother forced the pair to flee Hammerfell; in order to buy his pregnant lover time to escape, his father died whilst holding off the army that was pursuing, who were so terrified of the man’s prowess that they fled.
Appearance: Tarrick has the dark skin and broad features that typify all Redguards, and he keeps his black hair cut very short. He’s clean shaven, having experimented with a goatee when he was younger but not finding it to his taste.
Personality: He’s outgoing, cheerful and rather charming, but is also somewhat of a coward; when it comes to conflict he will always attempt to avoid it, and won’t go into a straight fight if he isn’t guaranteed to win. He struggles to keep his head under pressure, and is prone to panicking and running if things go awry.

History: Born on Anvil’s docks, Tarrick discovered he was naturally gifted as a pickpocket and cutpurse from a young age. As he grew older, he discovered that his skills in stealth and picking locks were much more lucrative than any of the work that could be found in Anvil’s poverty-stricken docklands. He’s currently working as a mid-ranking member of the Thieves’ Guild, though he’d appreciate it if such a factoid was kept from the Anvil Guard.
