Abiene Metonne

Breton woman of Cyrodiil born under the Ritual. She’s in her mid-twenties.

Factions and Titles: Cyrodiil Mages Guild, Great Chapel of Stendarr.

Class: Healer.

Skills: Restoration, Speechcraft, Sneak, Athletics, Acrobatics. (Pilates, lol.)

Appearance: Unremarkable. Abiene is slender with a narrow face and very curly dark brown hair. She moves with confidence and grace, like a dancer. Most people remark on her soft brown eyes, since her figure is not much to talk about. She’s five foot six, or a typical height for a Breton woman.

Weapons: None.

Apparel: Abiene wears gowns or long tunics over leggings. She favors shades of brown. Her enchanted jewelry keeps her dry and warm, but she wears a brown cloak to stay clean and also not advertise that she’s wearing enchanted jewelry. Her clothing is well-made but unassuming in style.

Magic: Mostly Restoration, Alteration, and Illusion spells. Abiene has an Arcane University education so she has learned spells from all schools, but her focus in is Restoration.

Miscellaneous: Abiene is a character in Jerric’s Story, but I think we can ignore their roles in the Oblivion crisis. She has had a (supposedly) discreet relationship with Jerric, cares deeply for Darnand, and has great affection for along with some envy of Lildereth.

Personality: Abiene is a thoughtful, kind, and deeply loving friend. She is also bossy and manipulative. She has a courteous and unassuming manner to strangers.

Biography: Abiene is from Leyawiin. She has a younger (and prettier) sister, Sidette. Her father is a scroll maker and academically-focused mage. Her mother is a social climber. They have more wealth than position, a situation that Madame Metonne would like to correct through a strategic marriage. The family is often invited to castle affairs, though they are not quite Cyrodiil nobility. Abiene does not care about these matters, though she enjoys the education and advantages that her family’s money provides.

Darnand Penoit

Breton man of Cyrodiil, born under the Apprentice. Late twenties.

Factions and Titles: Cyrodiil Mages Guild, College of Winterhold. Darnand travels between Cyrodiil and Skyrim.

Class: Mage.

Skills: Mainly Destruction and Conjuration. There’s not a spell he can’t learn, but he is not equally skilled in all of the magical schools. He is an alchemist who is ever striving to surpass his friend Jerric. So far he has not. He is also an enthusiastic enchanter, though not all of his inventions work.

Appearance: Brown hair, hazel eyes, not much meat on him. A bit under six feet, or typical height for a Breton man.

Weapons: Mages staff.

Apparel: Robes. No armor. Enchantments that reduce the cost of Destruction and Conjuration spells, regenerate his magicka, and resist magic to offset his Birthsign weakness.

Magic: Primarily fire attacks with a fire atronach summons. Utility spells from all schools.

Miscellaneous: Darnand hauls a fair amount of reading and writing material around with him. His first love is learning, and he can easily be tempted into adventure by the promise of discovery. Traveling with Jerric has really brought him out of his shell. With a heavily armored battlemage at his side (or slightly in front of him) he can stand and sling big fire with a smile on his face. Also in just robes he is pretty good at sprinting away when necessary. He is however quite vulnerable to attacks of all kinds. He has a solid offense with pretty much no defense at all.

Personality: Darnand is an introverted, studious sort of person. He can be irritable and tends to hyper-focus. He was brought up to be mannerly and present a good appearance, but left alone with his work he soon forgets to eat and bathe. He has affection for quite a few people and respect for even more but only a few very good friends. He has yet to discover the limit of what he will do for those who are closest to him.

Biography: Darnand was born in Chorrol, the product of an adulterous relationship between a prominent merchant and his sick wife’s nurse. The sick woman died and Darnand’s parents married before he was born, but eyebrows were raised over the affair. Darnand’s parents were killed in a carriage accident when he was a teenager. His older half-brother kicked him out of their home. Darnand behaved badly for a time and then joined the Mages Guild. In Anvil he met the Restoration trainer and Healer Abiene. About a year later he met the battlemage Jerric, and then a few months after that they met the hunter Lildereth. The friends have alternately followed and led one another into all kinds of trouble.

Alright! Darnand! XD

Jerric Kjellingsson

Nord man of Cyrodiil born under the Atronach. He’s in his early thirties.

Factions and Titles: Cyrodiil Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, College of Winterhold, Skyrim’s Companions. He does not hold any rank of note.

Class: Battlemage.

Skills: Blade, Block, Heavy Armor, Destruction, Conjuration, Alchemy, Athletics.

Appearance: Tall with a warrior’s build. Untidy blond hair and light brown eyes. The nose of a brawler.

Weapons: Fine steel longsword, steel short sword, silver mace, various knives and daggers about his person.

Apparel: Steel plate armor, shield with a wolf emblem, leather cloak and travel gear. Often wears an undertunic and leggings rather than more proper clothing. He dresses more carefully if he thinks he might get lucky.

Magic: Mostly frost spells, healing, and a summoned frost atronach. Jerric has more power than finesse. He cannot get Illusion spells through his Nord head.

Personality: Easy-going, quick to smile. Big appetites and a great deal of energy. Jerric will walk through Oblivion for a friend, but they will likely wake up next to him in prison more than once along the way. He has a sense of justice that is stronger than his commitment to rules. His humor is often crude, and he is prone to pranking. A cheerful optimist who keeps his dark moods and grieving private.

Biography: Jerric grew up in a large, loving family of merchants (caravan business) in Kvatch. He lost everything. Now his friends are his family.

I just realized I never asked this. When does this take place exatly? What era?

I only ask because there is a time where Vera isn't really . . .there . . .after the Oblivion Crisis. I can most definetly use another character I haven't used in an RP before. A friendler one.

It doesn't really matter. Think of it as a place between the worlds. Sort of your character removed from the events of their life but still shaped by them.


EDIT (I hit the button too soon): Also this is sort of a drop-in venue, so characters can come and go. If Vera gets dry and decides to quietly move on, no worries. She or any other of your characters can come back at any time. Or you can pick up writing for one of the NPCs for a while if you like.

I'm working on a character post right now. It's been a busy morning.

Lildereth

Bosmer woman of Valenwood born under the Steed. She’s in her sixties, which means she looks a human thirty.

Factions and Titles: Cyrodiil Mages Guild. If she is a member of any shadow organizations, she’s not saying.

Class: Hunter.

Skills: Marksman, Illusion, Alchemy, Acrobatics, Security, Sneak.

Appearance: About five feet tall, or normal for a Bosmer. Gymnast’s build with the muscular upper body of an archer. Straight black hair often worn in a braid, tan complexion, and eyes the light green of new leaves.

Weapons: Bow enchanted to shoot silently. It was grown for her by a tree-shaper and his tree.

Apparel: Leathers for the field, skirts and dresses for town. She favors green clothing that shows off her curves.

Magic: Illusion. She can summon a skeleton and heal herself.

Personality: Lildereth is a free spirit weighed down by duty. She is reserved with strangers but less guarded with friends. She has a quiet heart and would rather slip away from conflict than risk injury or hurting someone she loves. Her discipline is not part of her nature, and it takes a toll. She sometimes surprises her friends (and herself) with sudden fits of whimsy.

Biography: Lildereth’s home and tribe were destroyed during Valenwood’s Five Year War with the Khajiit. She took refuge with an Imperial couple in Arenthia who helped her through early adulthood. Most of her past is a mystery, which is how she prefers it.

Did I get Kayla's hair right? I was remembering her picture.

[mALX]

Okay, here is what I have so far, the inside is completed except the doors, (I always do them last). There is a stable, paddock, and garden. I can't make you a fishing pond, everyone will just need to use their imaginations.:


The Inn:

Started making the people, here is a close up of Lowren, Saphire is in the background:


http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq67/Ma...zpsd5240f21.jpg



Here is Lowren and Saphire (and they will both carry their proper names in the game if anyone wants the mod when I'm done):


http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq67/Ma...zpsb364d59c.jpg



There is no attic, I put about 5 beds in the basement along with a dresser or chest for each and a table the servants eat at.

There are only two rooms to rent unless people start bumping your help. I made Lowren sleep in the stables, and whoever is the one you buy food from will sleep behind the bar, there is a bed there.

[Grits]

Oh my gosh, this is so awesome!! mALX thank you so much for doing this!! I am in awe and amazement, there it is!!!

Lowren is so CUTE, I love him! YAY!!!!

[mALX]

(Thank you for the cake!) I needed this to take my mind away for a while, but right now I'm too tired to fool with it. I didn't sleep last night, have been working on this since yesterday afternoon.

I am totally in love with the inn (if I do say so myself) - it is AWESOME!

[King Coin]

It's beautiful mALX! Wonderful job!

[mALX]

It's beautiful mALX! Wonderful job!

Thank you, I am in love with the Inn itself, can't wait to see it in game.



@ Grits - WOOOOO HOOOOOO Jerric, Lildereth, Darnand, and Abiene!

[Grits]

It's so beautiful! I'm home now and looking on my laptop. I want to go there!! mALX, you did an amazing job! Woo, this is exciting!

If you click on the "Zoorm" in the lower right of the screenshot the picture of the inn will enlarge. It is so beautiful both inside and out. Still haven't put the doors on yet, but I can teleport inside in the game using the console (or get off my butt and put the doors in tomorrow). Just too tired tonight to fool with it.

[Darkness Eternal]

Hell of a job, mALX. Hell of a job!! This is so cool. Can't wait to see the interior!!

Thank you so much DE! I'll be checking it out tomorrow with some vanilla character (and get screenshots) - just want to ensure everything is working on it before I load my Maxical and all her mods and saves back on.

So far everything was working great till I added Lowren and the outdoor lights, it crashed shortly after that (but had been on for like 18 hours straight, so it may be nothing but just being on there too long).

I fell asleep last night while it was still light out! Sorry.

I just went ahead with Kayla at the bar, I hope that’s OK. She and Aravi and Abiene have mutual friends, though they don’t know it yet.
