Shadow Hide You

[ZeRoc]

My guy grew up in a Forsworn camp, I think he might have you beat. Or at least comparable.

[BetaB17]

Touche ZeRoc. But no joke, just about everyone came from a high status or a good home, while you got the few who had to brace the harsh realities from day one. Though just about everyone fell upon hard times at one point or another

As per the whole forsworn bit. I could tease a bit and say even if Raven was raised by her mother<_< things would still be far from pleasant Hell, if she had, Paras may of had more in common with her than you think. But I digress, Cidhna mine is far worse than some slum

What day is better for everyone to start: April 26, May 3, or May 10?

Edit: Poll added for convenience.

[The SheoDovah]

Any day works for me. Would prefer this saturday as i'm not at the charity shop so can steal everything before everyone else. Including the DM. Yes, i intend to steal Musicman.

[Musicman247]

...this Saturday isn't an option...

[ZeRoc]

I voted the 3rd, since I have finals the week before, though I could still do the 26th.

[Eltee]

Anything works for me.

[The SheoDovah]

It is if i steal next saturday and replace it with this saturday.

Username: MARS
Character Name: Flavia Silius
Race: Imperial
Age: 21
Background: Originally from Anvil in the western reaches of Cyrodiil, Flavia was born to wealthy, moderately caring parents. Though they took great pride in their child as one would take pride in a trinket, they never did grow to be very good parents. Her father was always tending to his shipping business, her mother attended several tea-parties daily, and Flavia was left to tutors, chaperones, maids and whoever else was present. Her cocky and curious nature drew her out of the study and to the kitchens and servant's quarters at an early age where she learned to swear, back-talk, make excuses and laugh. Getting to know the low-class staff brought her in contact with the much more exciting world of the street, poverty, violence and everything else. Soon enough she started roaming the streets and the docks, making friends and enemies, and having the time of her life. She learned to talk others into getting her her way, intimidating her challengers, and going for the eyes when things get rough. Though she never committed any serious crimes, her reputation as a hoodlum grew. Her parents eventually learned of her exploits and ordered her to stay put in the house. Obviously she disobeyed. Word spread that the Silius household was home to a hoodlum and Flavia's parents took more drastic measures, actively locking her inside the top floor of their manor. She was captive in her own home for several months Eventually she managed to convince one of her guards (a servant she had befriended) to let her out. Once she got out, she had to find that her crew had changed; they were past the point of fun: they were in it for business now. She reluctantly went along with them; a bad decision. The job they had planned at a warehouse went bad, many were arrested; including Flavia. To her bad luck, the owner of the warehouse was a business rival of her father's. He saw to it that Flavia was packed off to the Imperial City's jail as a way to strike a blow at his opponent. Though the sentence wasn't overly long, another few months of captivity right after the first few had ended weren't really fun for Flav. Furthermore, when she got out she was informed that she would have to make due on her own for a while until help from her parents arrived. Though she was sharp and had learned quite a few things from her lessons at home, reading and writing, history, mathematics and literature, it wasn't nearly enough to allow her to make some money quickly, and so she took to the streets: cutting purses from well-to-do gentlemen while charming them with her words and smiles, punching affectionate thugs in the throat when they tried to lay hands on her, and other such things. After some time, she attracted the attention of the Thieves Guild.

Flavia is more of a daylight rogue than a shadow-lurking thief: she relies on charm, wit, lies, empty compliments and threats to get past her obstacles. She works best in a team in which she serves as the distraction. Regardless, she can hold her own if need be; and if she isn't dealing with anyone too alert.

Physical description: As she grew older, Flavia dismissed the lady-like appearance her parents had her groomed into, and took on a tomboyish, cocky style. Her brown hair is short, barely covering her ears, and always ruffled. One of the perks of her upbringing was that she never had to go hungry; her cheeks are still full (though her prison stay made them fall in a little), her tint is healthy. Her features are round and not particularly remarkable, her eyes are green. She is a little bit above average height.

Equipment: Black shirt, pants, and shoes.

Major Skills: Speechcraft/Mercantile, Pickpocket, Unarmed

Minor Skills: Sneak, Lockpick, Illusion: charm, frenzy, light.

[DarkEastwood]

I'll let Speechcraft and mercantile be together, insofar as talking to shop owners.

[MARS]

Thank ye.

[BetaB17]

I do believe Mm said they can be regarded as the same, or rather that Speech incorporates it

MARS, you're in.

[ZeRoc]

Quick question: When it comes to things such as Greater and Lesser powers, which game should we go by? (Or should we just ignore them?)

[Musicman247]

Ignore powers, but Abilities (passive traits) from Skyrim will apply.

[BetaB17]

By that, you mean how Argonians have some immunity, Altmer have better magicka reserves, and Khajiit got them claws?

[MARS]

MARS, you're in.

Schweet.

[Musicman247]

You know what? Nevermind. We're going with the Skyrim Abilities and powers found on this list: http://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Races

[Eltee]

But... But... Eye of Fear. :'(

[Musicman247]

Ermagerd, I just can't win, can I?

[MARS]

What even is the issue? We can simply use a blend of all of the stuff. No one says we can't cherry pick the best racial traits >_>

[BetaB17]

I'm fine with no Powers, really. Hell, I'm just find with the general standard most TES RPs have used, with only certain races getting exceptions via traits we've always associated with(waterbreathing, claws, ect). Hell, I'm using a Breton, and I'm content getting the short end of the stick<_<

I 100% agree with this. I'd prefer no Powers, with a few obvious Traits.

[Musicman247]

Ok, traits (Abilities) only. Since Orcs don't have one, I'll give them a bump in skills that rely on strength.

[BetaB17]

Fair enough
