The Wobbly Goblet Discussion Thread, Out Of Character Stuff Goes Here Options

[mALX]

I don't have any serious characters, is what I'm saying. -sighs- I feel out of my element. Everyone's cool and/or wise or skilled. I feel so lame in this RP.

Maxical and Eyja aren't serious, and only Eyja is skilled.

[Black Hand]

Feelings of insecurity in comparison to others is inevitable. Apples and oranges cannot be compared, and will always be 'lacking' in some sense to the other. If therr are qualities you admire, and wish to emulate that is one thing. If that other cup of tea smells better because they added sugar...then add some sugar!

We *all* suck when we start something new. mALX still won't let me read her work until she's done rewriting it, largely for this reason. Frankly, the woman scares the living daylights out of me, so I've no choice to comply.

When you give something else the responsibility of your circumstances, you give it power over you.

Take responsibility, gain power.

It's not quite that serious, Blackie XD

I HAVE a skilled character, and she's IN the rp, but not sure what to do with her.

[Grits]

What I like about the Goblet concept is that it’s not really a RP with a plot but more of a backdrop where players can put their own jointly told stories. Some of them are serious, some light, some a mixture. You can pick and choose how to participate according to what you want, and come and go as it pleases you.

Abiene is going to see about getting Maxical on her feet. What’s Stefan up to?

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Stefan went home, and Shiva with him. He'll come back later and be nosy about the vamp hunters lol

Doesnt make my words ring less true Mrs. Hollow.

*points* Squiiiiiiiiirrrrreeeeeelllllllllluh!

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Well, I know, lol

[Black Hand]

Why not have her join the Mystery thread? Were in tue Tavern currently.


Another squirrel!!

[Grits]

^ Indeed. Come aboard.

[Darkness Eternal]

Yeah, I agree with Grits. The RP doesn't have to be about serious characters. Eyja and Maxical for example offer that humor that other characters may not have. Kayla has Dawn Freaking Breaker. That right there makes her skilled, no? Find a perfect balance.

Lycus is serious, but he has his flaws. Vera is a bit serious but she's cynical and can be fun too when she's in the mood.

"Hey Vera, where do babies come from?"

"Beat it, kid."

"I want to know. Please."

"Fine. When a man loves a woman very much, they lay down and the man gives the woman twenty septims. That answer your question?"

The only really serious person of mine in this RP is Irvana. And Kayla if you have any cool ideas, PM them to me or anyone else. Make it happen. I had no clue how to add Lycus or Vera in the RP. I was like "Okay, how to intergrate these two furry warriors into the RP . . ." then I played with some ideas.

[Elisabeth Hollow]

LMFAO at the babies question!!

[King Coin]

I HAVE a skilled character, and she's IN the rp, but not sure what to do with her.

She doesn't have to stay either, this is supposed to be a come and go as you please. I wasn't sure what to do with Aravi and there seemed little point of keeping her at the inn. So she left.

[Darkness Eternal]

Interrogaton time

[Grits]

Vera: Bitch, WHAT?!

Abiene: *points at Lycus*

[Elisabeth Hollow]

This is gonna be good!

[Black Hand]

*Pulls out rolled-up Black Horse Courier*

Bad Lycanthropes! Bad!

But well written!

[mALX]

Wait, so Vera was jealous of Lycus having a woman in his room? She is a jealous cat ... er, wolf? And Lycus smells of wet dog or just stinks despite his basic honesty and ... wait, Abiene is going to eat a meal at the inn?


Just kidding. I have to say, this entire interchange was absolutely spectacular, both Grits and DE!

[Grits]

It's been a lot of fun.

I was going to make a joke about Abiene asking if she could have her panties back, but she's not out of there yet!

[Darkness Eternal]

Thanks, mALX! I enjoyed writing it.

After I pull Lycus and Vera out, I am introducing a new character. New to the RP, but some of you may know him. I wanted a richy rich guy in the RP. A noble.

Full Name: Drathen.

Sex: Male.

Race: Imperial.

Age: Undefined.

Birthplace: Cyrodiil.

Occupation: Nobleman. Former Legion Commander. Member of a secret society.

Combat skills:

Drathen was known among one of the most skilled duelists and fighters in Cyrodiil. His competitive spirit drove him toward one of the famous forms of fencing. Though he maintained an expert knowledge of other forms as well. In melee combat he used his blade to redirect and deflect enemy blades, rather than attempting to meet his opponent face-on, fending off opponents with a little expenditure of energy before unleashing fast and devastating counter attacks. He relies heavily on his footwork to outmaneuver his opponent, basing himself on balance and stance, back-and-forth lunges and leverage, and sudden retreats.

Although his hand was of use for combat, he was well-taught in the art of "Verbal fencing". A tactic he learned from his sibling that focused on disrupting an enemies concentration by the use of psychological negativity. Such as taunting and mocking, bit by bit exposing their inner doubts. Causing their emotions to slowly take over their conscious skill until the point where they make an inevitable fatal move.

When facing larger opponents, such as Mages, he drew heavily his volatile emotions to augment his ferocity. He combined his swordsmanship with martial arts and hand-to-hand combat abilities--a lethal mixture which made him a powerful fighter. And whenever he encountered a foe he could not defeat through his martial prowess, he would fall back on his tactical ways, outmaneuvering such enemies with psychological warfare.

Phisically Drathen pretty strong, quick and agile. He is capable of grand physical feats, such as jumping across walls, climbing very quickly, and running far distances. He is skilled in martial arts such as the Whispering Fang, Rawlith Khaj and the Goutfang. He was able to break apart incoming wooden weapons like staffs and spears with his hands and legs. He also could disarm, subdue and knock out his foes.

He is also proficient at infiltration and stealth but far from being a master. It is his lesser skill and relies more on his natural powers for invisibility.

Magic Powers: Throughout his life, Drathen learned much in the arts of Destruction magic. As a child, he could only summon small bursts of flame, but by the time he was older in his mid twenties, he was confident enough in his abilities to use them in the open against many students in the Arcane University. His fire attacks have became more deadlier as he charges his spell before creating enormous blasts of fire. In his present years, he was able to create a raging inferno around him that could effect a seven feet radious without scorching himself in the process.

He was able to use more of his magicka, unleashing fiery sheets of flame. He once engaged in a fight with a battle-mage, fighting with less strain while his opponent was shoved towards exhaustion and growing lack of confidence. He learned several mastering techniques: such as blocking large streams of incoming flames with short blasts of fire. Aside from his flames, he was well-taught to cast lightning and shock spells, though not as the same degree as his sibling.



Drathen became a proficient strategist, able to take advantage of most situations by exploitation. He also forms alliances with individuals with amazing skills and influence and uses them to his advantage. Although he shows these traits, he suffers from weaknesses of his own.

Though he has magical abilities and powers beyond the comprehension of mere men, Drathen refrains from using them in public or getting himself into situations that calls for violence. Though many could assume he has other powers at his disposal that he is hiding . . .

Gear: A fine sabre made of silver bearing Daedric filigree in the handle. He also has an ancient blade’s weapon, a katana. Though he does not use it as much as he did in his earlier years.

Clothes: He wears a nobleman’s clothing when he is off-duty, the hallmark of a true aristocrat. A black and burgundy outfit with gold-trimmed shoes, and even up to date. Most of them comes in shades of black, red and grey. He wears a crimson amulet around his neck; and a large set of named rings which he aquired during his travels in which he tells decorates his hands. He also owns a single black robe.

Family: Drathen only has himself and one other. His family history and whereabouts are unknown. Some say they are deceased.

Appearance: Drathen is often described as a "cruel-looking young man with a mature aura about him. This is mostly true, as Drathen seldom smiles or laughs out of feeling but nescessity. He stands tall for an Imperial, and appears reserved and genteel at times, having an air of noblesse oblige.

Personality:

Drathen was described is aloof. He is evidenly a man of great power. The questions of moral values do not enter his head. He is amoral. Morality, in fact, doesn't fit into his vocabulary. In his years is is an accomplished philosopher, politician, rhetorician and warrior, and was considered as one of the wealthiest nobles in Cyrodiil and was admired for his charismatic attitude. Though it was not always so.

He was a determined Imperial with a will of iron and tremendous ambition, stoked in his life by his upbringing. He channeled his ambition into great, utopian plans to bring about the legendary, tyranical militant future that he believed would one day replace the current Empire, which he considers as a decaying super-power.

Growing into an adolescent stage, he becomes more domineering and assertive, a result of his status and enviornment. He disdains working with people he considers are inferior and pathetically challenged in mind, spirit and body. In his belief, hatred and anger would be passions to fuel his strength in any situations, be it martial confrontations or otherwise. He also was known as a seductor of women.

When he began his journey as a young man attempting to make his way into the world, he adopted a more reasonable persona. He forged a different ego of himself which encased his truer one after extensive research and reading; poetry, music, foreign arts, history etc. Many who encountered him described him as an articulate, charismatic young man with quality charm and refined tastes. A magnificent listener, fair-tempered, influentially astute, remarkably well informed for someone who is only twenty years of age.

In the present day he is a genteel yet cruel man. He was a staunch supporter of Man’s place in the world, even if he believed himself above them. While he remained a dilettante of foreign arts antiques, he secretly hated most of he perceived as the “corrupt” Mer in the High Council. He separated society into dual, distinguished categories; threats and assets. The first standing for governmental powers and individuals that would hinder any of his hopes of personal advancement. The latter being for individuals who could aid, or simply be persuaded.

Drathen knew that the only response for the horrors and the injustices of the world was hate and anger. While often appearing as a civilized and genteel young man, he has no issues with torture or being held responsible for the deaths of various enemies, nor being leader of the clandestine atrocities behind the scenes of the Empire such as torture and executions. To him, the cost of the war was insignificant regardless of how high it could be.

Despite all of his "negative," traits, Drathen does display a charming and charismatic side when he desires, but would shift when nescessary. As a nobleman and a former commander of the Legion, he projected a dominating presence, and was magnifcently persuasive, with an aura of power that rivaled even the greatest of leaders. An aristocrat with considerable intellectual prowess, Drathen cultivated his mental power as a young man, showing many abilities in different disciplines.

Though many people loved and respected him, there were perverse rumors that he had a vast interest in the dark arts and the occult magics. Whispers that he delved into the most forbidden practices.

History: He has a long history. Currently Drathen has an interest in investing a considerable amount of coin in reputable and high-quality taverns . . . such as one called The Wobbly Goblet.
