Ushak gra-shub


Race: Half Orc, half Nord

Gender: Female

Age: 26


Bio:
Ushak is an adventurer. Or at least, she wants to be. Her father is the historian at the Winterhold College and she's spent most of her life there, closed up, never seeing beyond the wall of snow. She swore the first thing she'd do when she got out of there was start her own adventure and make her own niche in history.

She made her way south, raiding treasure rooms of bandits and making herself a pretty septim doing so. She made her way to Cyrodiil and settled down in Bruman for a year, working around the Fighter's Guild and doing mercenary work. Once that cleared up, she kept moving south until she came to Chorrol.

Skills:
One-handed blade, preferring a mace over an axe or sword.
Hand-to-hand
A pretty damn good cook.

Gear:
Clothing, preferring dresses
Heavy steel armor
Banded shield
Food
Amulet of Mara
Ring to boost stamina

Temperament:
No nonsense, but not unfriendly. Doesn't tolerate disrespect, and isn't afraid to speak up when someone wrongs her.

Ushak looks great. I added her link to the directory. (That's on the bottom of the second post.)

Ushra. Wow! Digging those blue eyes.

Winterhold Wandering is getting more spotlight than the Wobbly Goblet.

Hey Grits, can I spice things up a bit here? Maybe a farmer rushes in to complain about his dead livestock and devoured sheep. Add a casualty or two. I don't know.

Something.

Anything!

Sure, getting RPs started is a big part of what the Goblet is for.

[Darkness Eternal]

I'm cooking something up.

My post was short, but I''m using a tablet. I hate these things, lol. Makes writing difficult.

[Darkness Eternal]

Um, Liz, what the hell was that post all about?

[King Of Beasts]

She's leaving the forums for a while.

She's leaving the forums for a while.

What?

Why?

[King Of Beasts]

She's pretty stressed out

She told me she's taking a break.

[Darkness Eternal]

I see. Thanks for telling us, Kobby. I'll send a message her way.

[Black Hand]

Seems to be a fairly common occurrence in here...

No worries, I'm sure she'll find her way through it.

[minque]

And I wanted so badly to RP.... But must realise life doesn't allow that fun just now...

[Grits]

I’m sorry that happened, DE. Maybe she’ll come back and respond.

Eventually I’ll do a spring NPC post, but of course you who are playing can keep your places as long as you like. minque and DE, I think you two are the only ones with active characters here? As always you’re welcome to take your time with posting even if others come in to use the thread. The whole point is to include players, not exclude them.

A general note, the RP thread offers a lot of freedom and expects that folks will act responsibly. Maybe with an older, more respected member serving as host we could return to the level of activity we enjoyed before last fall. (The first 41 pages were posted in three months! That kind of enthusiasm far exceeded my hopes in starting this.) Black Hand and minque, would either or both of you consider starting a community RP thread? Just open one and I’ll ask that this one be closed.

[Darkness Eternal]

You mean start new RP unrelated to the Goblet?

[Grits]

Whatever would foster roleplaying at Chorrol. Perhaps the friendly tavern idea has run its course. In that case why not build something completely different for a fresh start? Anyone could do that right now, there’s no limit on open threads. Maybe folks would use a PvP arena to warm up for ESO or something. Or as Keerava says of the Ragged Flagon, a place “Where all the lowlifes in Riften get drunk and knife each other.” Heck, someone could recreate the Ragged Flagon for ease of use and give it a try. We’re not short of ideas.

[Black Hand]

Thank you, no.

I suspect the problem is not the ideas, but the number of people who have the time.

Either there isn't sufficient interest to start a new roleplay thread, which is what I think happened with Rohirrim's last attempt at starting a roleplay, or people drop out during the curse of the thread and it just collapses, which is what happened to Steam and Steel and Lunacy of the Guilloux Mansion, the latter of which had a particularly promising concept to it. I think I was as annoyed as Liz that it didn't get to play out.

I´m sorry to see many of your fine ideas come to such an abrupt end, guys I may not have participated but I still think it´s sad. But maybe people just need some time away so they can come back fresh and new?

[King Coin]

Well... We did give it another chance and nobody bit.

[Darkness Eternal]

I'll post tonight. Confirm the permanent death of Liz's character.
