A Mystery Unleashed - Planning/Discussion Options

[Dantrag]

(Okay, i'm new at RPing and I wanted to try, but most current RPs are way too far into the story for me to join in, so I'm making my own. Any tips or advice is welcome.)

Plot

An ancient mage has somehow escaped the chains and fires of Oblivion and is now on the island of Vvardenfell. He found a portal to Oblivion left in a daedric shrine and returned to Tamriel. He was banished from the mortal realm by Azura, for performing all types of profane magicks(sp?). He was feared in his time, mostly because he was as unpredictable as his magick. He had many powers that no mage before or after him could dream of, much less comprehend. Most users of magick put limits on what can and cannot be done, this powerful mage made his own rules, made magick his art, and could do many strange and deadly things because of it - including escaping from hell itself.

This mage is a total mystery. No one knows his name, race, or if he is dead or alive, never having suffered a death, only a banishment from the mortal realm. Or has he somehow gained immortality?

please introduce your characters like this -

Name:
Age:
Sex:
Class:
Personality:
Brief History:
Other Physical Attributes: (height, build, anything you find necessary)

Don't know what kind of characters are needed....maybe someone could help? (that's what planning is for, no?)

good idea starting in Cyrodill rather than Vvardenfell, that is the very reason this is planning forum - for good ideas like that. Feel free to give any ideas

and i guess some could join the mage and some could fight him, depending on your character. I'll submit my character now..

Name: Sel (short for Selenil)
Age: 17
Sex: male
Class: fighter
Personality: Usually does good, but has a lot of slip-ups, oftentimes doing what serves himself rather thatn others. As a 17 year old, has a sense of youthful arrogance, which leads him to rebel from authority often. (a nice clash with Falx )
Brief History: Raised in Morrowind, he left his home and went to Cyrodill after being labeled a murderer for killing a member of the cammona tong who raped and murdered the last member of his family he had - his sister.
Physical Attributes: about 5'10", not very strong - uses speed and agility to gain the upper hand in battles, shaggy black hair, never uses armor heavier than leather, and rarely even uses that, becuase armor slows him down, but also gets him more injuries than most normal fighters.
(And it seems that I forgot to add race into my character sheets, so...)
Race: dark elf


I don't know how to get all the characters together, so i guess more planning is in order....
