So, I've had an idea. I've been wanting to start my own RP thread for a long while. I was talking to Colonel Mustard about it, and an idea struck me. Remember the Dark Brotherhood mission"Whodunit?" You play the assassin and have to kill off each member in any way you please?

What if we did that...but the killer is assigned by me, to be one of you?

The layout of the house is sketched. The basic idea is, you create an entirely new character, you CANNOT use an already made character, and I'll tell you why. Not only will you, the players, not know anything beyond the appearance of another player, but there will be causalities as they killer cuts his or her way through the house.

The participants are lured to the house by a common acquaintance, baiting them with the common "If you find the chest of gold, you win!" scheme. I will be DM'ing solely, so situation control will be up to me. Character interactions will be left up to you. "Winner" gets to live, quite simply.

If you'd like to join in, all you have to do is write your character's appearance, down to the dress and scars. Anything noted when you look at someone. Then, write the rest of the character sheet and send it in a PM to me.

For clarification: Only put the character's appearance on this thread, send the rest to me. That includes the "real" name.

Hope people join in! I welcome questions!

p.s. Hate to be nit-picky, but please.no were-creatures or vampires. Why? because it would be too easy for them to solve it or overpower anyone they'd come across.

So, we all sign up, you pick the killer, and only the two of you know about it? Sounds like fun.

"No were-creatures or vampires", so elves and magic are allowed? *crosses fingers*

Is this TES universe, or just generic fantasy?

Yeah, elves and magic are allowed since they're an "accepted" form of supernatural. And it's the TES universe.

Yeeesss. So in.

Sweet!

TIme to start working on a character sheet.

Right, 'public' profile is here. I'll PM you the private one later on this evening, Liz, I've got work I need to be doing for the rest of the day.


Name: Aranios Sayle
Race: Imperial
Age: 22

Appearance: Tall enough to suggest some Altmer blood somewhere in the family line, Aranios' face is boyishly handsome and clean-shaven. He has short blonde hair with a slight upward tuft at the front, brown eyes, a slight nick in his left ear and a winning smile. He is obviously athletic, though not as heavily muscled as a professional warrior, build more similar to that of a gymnast than a brawler. He walks with a swagger in his step, and exudes an air of cocky charm and ease.

He is always well dressed, and for this party has attired himself in a sleeveless doublet of red velvet, black trousers and a long-sleeved white shirt. He also has three rings on his fingers, and any with the ability to perceive the arcane would be able to see that they are magical in nature.

I'll sign up too.

This intrigues me.

Soon...

This is a great idea, Hollow. My roommates and I used to host murder parties like this in the dark ages before the internet. Lots of fun. And costumes.

Just to be sure, the only person doing the murdering is the one you secretly assign that role, right? It’s not a free-for-all?

Exactly. If I assign KC to be the murerder, no one else can be the murderer.

*Leaps on KC and stabs him in the neck*

It's OK, everybody, I got him. We're safe now.


On a more serious note, where/when is this going to be set? I think you mentioned somewhere in the Rift, but I'm writing up Aranios' bio and I just want to make sure that the date/time/lore etc all line up properly.

I've decided The Pale instead. The swampy atmosphere would add some creepiness.

Ermm, any chance of a little more info on this?

Because "The Rift" and "The Pale" just have me wondering

The Rift is the Hold of Riften. The Pale is the Hold of Morthal if memory serves.

Both are located in Skyrim.

Ah, Skyrim, thanks.

So that's one full character sheet sent in! Who's the next brave soul?

Also, don't worry about making a character fit to be a killer. If you know me, you know I like to surprise people and will pick the most inconspicuous person if possible.

Aargh!

On the one hand, it sounds so interesting.

On the other, it's set in Skyrim.

Aargh!



One last thing: Are you talking 4th era Skyrim? I'm assuming you are.

Yeah. But don't worry, I'm setting the scene entirely. Don't worry about current events or anything of the like. The whole world is set on the property of the mansion.

Really awesome idea! I like it but I don´t think I´m gonna be in it.

Anyone could be the murderer and no one except you Liz and the one you assign to be the killer will know. That´s killer!

Pun intended

Hoooo boy:

Dunmer, early forties. Typical red eyes, ashy grey skin. Charcoal hair in a topknot, small sideburns. Scowling face, with neck tattoos in the general shape of some daedric letters.

Red-and-gold Dunmer outfit from Dragonborn with flared sleeves, black cloth boots, and a sturdy leather belt with a Cyrodiilic steel longsword and scabbard.

Uh...thanks for posting in the thread telling us you won't be doing it XD

Did you miss that I just gave you a compliment?

I overlooked it to criticize you. Just like a woman XD

No wonder I´m single!

Ok, nuff unnecessary posting

I was so tempted to say something along those lines, but...

So not a good idea



Well, if it's only set in Skyrim, I suppose I'll take a crack at it.

Name: Enarvy Verothan

Dunmer, about 75, just starting to show signs of age. Somewhat pale, thin, with silver hair cropped close to his scalp, with a widow's peak. Red eyes of course, though a more dull red, like hot metal rather than fire. Wearing the red robe in this picture

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to sort out the character sheet though. Done enough writing for tonight.

Glad to have you aboard!!!!

Jeanstar Lelltal

Breton Male in his late-thirties, appears older with graying tribal-esque hair and beard. Raw complexion, with smile wrinkles and creases beginning to show in the face.

So that's three profiles in (I'm counting Callidus' unfinished one)

In order for this to work, I'd like at least two more people. who's the next brave soul?

Why am I the only woman in the RP?!

Reminding y'all I still want this.

A little busy here!

So do I!

Well, as soon as finals are over, let me know. UNless someone wants to hop in, we can save you a spot. Late entries are fine.

Well, since I'm here, I might as well have Enarvy as the first guest to arrive.

I do have one question though: If everyone has been invited to the mansion, with the promise of a pot of gold to be found, can we get a name for the person who invited them?

Introductions will be made at the parlor.

As soon as Rohirrim posts, we can begin officially

Rohirrim has posted. SHANKS MCGEE CAN COME OUT TO PLAY!!!

Rohirrim, what have you done with my stablehand?! Why is my coat-hanger outside? XD

Wha?
