Hircine's Hunt
The year is 4E201. A bloodmoon rises high in the sky. Mortals from Tamriel have been taken from their homes to the Hunting Grounds. They are to be given the honour of being prey to a Daedric Lord. Your task is simple escape the Hunting Grounds alive. Hircine and his servants will be hunting you do whatever it takes to survive. (More will be explained when the RP starts.)

Battle System
It will be determined by rolling 5 dice behind the scenes done by me. Requirements are based off a number of factors such as SAPIE, Major Skills, Type of Weapon et cetra. Health is as follows:
Okay
Lightly Wounded
Wounded
Badly Wounded
Dead

You can heal in a number of ways spells, potions or naturally overtime. You will have both more health and restore in naturally faster by having a higher endurance.

Major Skills and SAPIE

SAPIE
For Hircine's Hunt say hello to SAPIE
But what is SAPIE I hear you say. Is it a rip off of SPECIAL from Fallout without the charisma and luck?
Yes, yes it is.
S is Strength.
A is Agility.
P is Perception.
I is Intelligence.
E is Endurance.
You must have at least 1 attribute point in each attribute and 10 is the cap. You get 30 AP overall. A sample build would be:

S10 (capped)
A5
P5
I1 (can't go lower)
E9

Strength means you hit hard in physical fights and you are good with unarmed, long blade, axe, blunt, acrobatics et cetra.
Agility means you are agile and fast helps with sneak, light armour, short blade, athletics, et cetra.
Perception allows you to be percise and see targets it helps with security (traps/lockpicking), marksman et cetra.
Intelligence helps with all kinds of magic.You can know 1 spell for each point of it.
Endurance allows you to take more damage it helps with heavy armour, spears et cetra.

Traits

Traits are character modifications that have positive and negative effects. You can chose 1,2 or no Traits.

Don't Need No Education:
Who needs spells when you have a weapon? You are better with all weapons but you can't use magic.

One Hander:
I can beat you up one handed, not so much with two hands. You are better with all one handed melee weapons but worse with two handed melee weapons.

Look Ma' Two Hands:
You are more used to using large weapons that you have to hold in two hands. Anything that needs one hand is like a baby's toy to you. You are better with all two handed melee weapons but worse with all one handed melee weapons.

Agoraphobic:
You hate the outdoors and are much better suited inside. You will find you do worse outside but better inside.

Gifted:
You have more innate abilities than most, so you have not spent as much time honing your skills. You have 5 extra SAPIE points but can only major in 3 skills.

Up Close:
When you come to deal with a problem you want to be right up in its face. You are better in melee combat but worse at ranged.

Far Away:
When you want to deal with a problem you don't want to get your hands dirty. You are better in ranged combat but worse at melee combat.

Porphyric Hemophilia:
The one thing about living in Tamriel I never could stomach, all the damn vampires. You are creature of the night. you are better at all skills, can't be paralyzed however you are very badly damaged by sunlight and fire.

Nerd:
You may not be strong but you know lots of magic. You are poor in melee combat but know 2 extra spells.

Small Frame:
You aren't as big as others but you are faster. You gain 2 points to agility but lose 1 point of strength.

Race: Dunmer

Sex: Yes, please Male

Age: 30

Personality: Alt is usually serious and no-nonsense. He is always thinking on his feet and clever, he knows most of the flora and fauna of Tamriel.

Biography: Alt was born and raised in Morrowind, in Mournhold. From early ages, he was a hunter, exploring Morrowind’s harsh lands and killing the exotic animals for food and fur. Eventually, Alt left Morrowind and began travelling around Tamriel, exploring and hunting. He particularly enjoys surviving the Deserts of Elsweyr and wading through the marshes of Black Marsh to find the most exotic and dangerous game to hunt. Alt never over does his hunting and makes sure not to disrupt the environment he is intruding in. Alt uses only his bow and arrows to hunt, with the exception of his dagger in case of emergencies.

Likes: Hunting animals, exploring hostile environments, being alone. Alt also has a deep respect for animals in general, and has always accepted the fact that one day, an animal would take his life and balance his life of hunting.

Dislikes: Cliff Racers, Daedra, the Morrowind Tribunal (Alt has embraced the Nine Divines), Necromancers, Undead

Fears: Being without food or a weapon, Werewolves, Vampires

Weapons and Equipment: Alt has a bonemold longbow and around 200 bonemold arrows strapped to a small bag on his back. Also in the bag: fishing line, hooks, 5 health potions, a compass, five torches, a canteen of water, and stale bread. He also carries 10 steel throwing stars for dire emergencies and has a steel dagger attached to his side.

Age: 27

Physical Appearance: Skinny, but not much. Pale white skin, long black hair (waist) and hazel eyes.

Personality: Kind, courteous and delicate. Don't like to fight much but when the danger is near she tries to fight rather than run and hide.

Biography: Grew in Cyrodill, in a rich family. Her father was a fierce Breton who worked for the Legion as a Rider and her mother was an Imperial Alchemist. Since her father went into heavy trips to patrol the Imperial borders she spent most of the time with her mother therefore learning more magic than combat.

In her 16th birthday she became a member of the Mage's Guild and met a Imperial man and married with him. After 4 years together they left for Elsweyr because the war in Cyrodill was heavy and Elsweyr was the only near option at the time. Her father died during the war with the Thalmor but her mother went to Eslweyr with them. She lived with her husband, Claudius Artorius, until he left one night. A letter with a message "Sorry. We'll meet again." was all he left for her.

Biography: Born to a good family from Colovia, Brennus grew up on a farm until the age of 7, at which point he entered into monastic service. He became enchanted with his new life and all that he learned, and eventually made his way to an fighting order of religious knights, where he truly blossomed.

EDIT: As I'm both offended and a bit hurt, I'll just take my application down. I can rest easy knowing I would not do the same to someone else over a personal dislike for them. Thanks anyway, though, Kerr! I hope your RP does well. 8D

For reasons I don't wish to state I'm going to deny Witchery's application.

May I ask why? D: Perhaps a PM is in order?

Yeah accepted.

One thing that I find quite funny (not really): All of the characters are goody 2 shoes, one way or another...

NED MOAR EBILZ.

I could totally make an evil character...but I am at my roleplay limit. But this is very, very interesting...hmmmmmm. Temptation! Let me think it over. If you need more variety perhaps I'll join in Kerr.

^ Because your character HAD to find a way to survive. He's not THAT evil when you think about it.

I meant something like a twisted cannibal who worships Sithis and spits in the face of Mehrunes Dagon and tortures worshippers of the Nine Divines just "for the lulz".

...and is a vampire.

Red Guardian wrote:I meant something like a twisted cannibal who worships Sithis and spits in the face of Mehrunes Dagon and tortures worshippers of the Nine Divines just "for the lulz".

That is beyond badass. Someone needs to do this pronto.

Yes Avron why don't you?

Return to my old trolling ways for the sake of a roleplay?

Sounds noble to me. I'll craft up a character when I get home tonight!
