Elder Scrolls: The Great War (OOC/Signup) - Open)

[The New Texas Lands]

I think mastery of all types of magic is a bit too excessive. There's probably only 250 mages in Tamriel who are expertise in two or more schools of magic.

..Maybe he's the Avatar.

[North Banrodesia]

Still, jokes aside, Mastering more than one school of magic would probably make your head explode.

Especially mysticism.

Just forget it man, it's too hard.

During his time on the Watch, he managed to single handedly defeat a bandit camp that the Watch Commander had claimed too difficult to defeat. After finding out about this, the Count offered him a post as Knight Errant and he accepted.

[Frisivisia]

NS Name: Frisivisia
Character Name: Crazy Al
Age: 35
Race: Orc
Faction(s): Imperial Legion
Rank: Field Marshal
Weapons: Orcish Battleaxe, Daedric Dagger (A family heirloom), Ability to do simple armor spells
Armour: Ebony Armor with Imperial Dragon emblazement in gold
Biography: Born in a large stronghold in the Dragontail Mountains as the son of the Stronghold leader. At 12, he was forced to kill his aging father to take control of the stronghold. He did so with his family's ancient daedric dagger. As he came of age, he began to see many flaws in Orcish culture and fled his Stronghold, going to the Imperial City to enlist in the legion, as he hoped that it would offer him structure, a job, and a chance at power. He soon became on of the finest soldiers in heavy armor that the Legion had ever seen. Once he had mastered this craft (as well as forging and using Heavy axes), he started to read the great books of strategy, and, upon reading "The Battle of Sancre Tor", he became intensely interested in Talos. He had worshiped some of the Nine Divines, as well as daedra, in his stronghold, but upon learning of the life of Tiber Septim, he worshiped Talos as fervently as any Nord. After becoming a strategy buff and working hard for a few years, he became an officer, and has gone up and up. Now, with war imminent, he has been promoted from general to Field Marshall, one of only a few who can wield power above all others.
RP Example: Well, I'm an AWRPer from way back as well as doing many other RPs. I am very experienced with this sort of thing and I have bee playing Elder Scrolls for a while, I still play Oblivion as well as Skyrim.

People are still studying mysticism in Tamriel? No wonder the place has been going downhill.

Hey, at least the people aren't as racist as in Skyrim.

I'm constantly being told I'll be turned into a rug.

[The Treorai]

NS Name: The Treorai
Character Name: Likus
Age: 25
Race: Imperial
Faction(s): Imperial Legion (formerly), Blades.
Rank: Knight Brother
Weapons: Glass Bow, Ebony Dagger(x2).
Armour: Chainmail with the Blade's Crest (see below) imprinted on the side.

Biography:
Likus grew up as an orphan with his sister in the Temple of the Nine in Solitude, Skyrim. He always was keen with a bow. He always would go out to the hills just outside of the city to his home-made target range, just to practice firing his bow. The archery range eventually evolved into a full blown training camp. He set up hay dummies, obstacle courses, made daggers from pieces of wood, and practiced every day.

By age 12 he had nearly mastered the art of Archery. He could shoot flying birds’ dead in the eye. He also wasn't too bad with a dagger. When he was 14 he took up an Apprenticeship with a local Hunter, and learned the ways of the hunt. He finished his apprenticeship when he was about 16. He then took up hunting as a full time job. A few months later, using his silver tongue, he earned enough money to buy himself, and his 8 year old sister a shanty shack south of town.

When he was 18, Likus was arrested for punching a visiting Imperial Nobel who tried to kidnap his sister. He was thrown into the Solitude dungeon, and there he stayed for nearly a year. He heard only three times from his sister. Each in the early months of his imprisonment. The last, she said she was going south to Cyrodiil with a traveling merchant caravan. They said their final goodbyes, and she left. He hasn't seen her since.

When he finally got out or prison, he found his shack ruined. Picked clean, and nearly destroyed. Crushed by having lost everything, he did the only thing he could do. He joined the Imperial Legion for some Gold. He rose quickly, by only one year he was an Agent. He served two more years in the legion, and reached the rank of Knight Errant. He was noticed by the blades. Because of his amazing skills with bows, and daggers, he impressed some of the higer ups in the blades. He was offered to join, and he accepted eagerly.

A year later, the heads of a hundred of his brothers rolled out onto the ground of Imperial City. Having spent a year in service to the Blades he hurried to his summons in Cloud Ruler Temple, and found himself with all of the other Blades who had been stationed in Cyrodiil. Now he awaits his orders from Marshall Antonius, fearing that it may be too late to save the Empire.
RP Example: I haven't been in Many RP's as of late (at least any note worthy ones that I have posted more than once in) so I'm going to ask If I can use the Biography for this one. Although, I have been in many RPs, and I have even created one of two decent ones.

Specify the race...?

[New Armarzia]

I don't know how close everyone is sticking to lore and all, but if I am correct Leyawiin should be taken by the Thalmor? Even with the empire's reinforcements. Because if one of the lord's armies are already beat at Leyawiin I don't think they stand a chance at even reading the capital.

[North Banrodesia]

Yes, The imperial retaliation force is too small to retake the city, but their current goal is getting the count out so the Thalmor can't torture information out of him.

Likus agreed, and joined the Blades as a Scout, and Spy.

A year later, the heads of a hundred of his brothers rolled out onto the ground of Imperial City.

21 seems a bit young. Up the age and service in the Legion a bit. Otherwise, accepted.

An high ranking Orc will be interesting, although do you think you can start out as a General, and maybe up the age a bit? Apart from that, accepted.

Accepted. Will you be inside or outside of Leyawiin (the city)? If so, the city has been occupied, so you're going to have to escape. And I think when you come back on you're going to be annoyed at seeing all those posts about 'specifying your race'. If you haven't played any of the Elder Scrolls games, then take a look at this and change, see which you like and change it to either Nord, Imperial, Redguard or Breton.

[North Banrodesia]

I reckon if you know what the knights of the white stallion are, You know what the elder scrolls is, But you never know.

[Lancearc]

NB, Mist-Walker is a Legate, not a captain, since I assume that's who you're addressing in the post.

[North Banrodesia]

Oh, Whoops. Let me go change it.

[Wolfmanne]

Just a question, what number do you think is right for the amount of legions? I'd say that 1,000 men per Legion, in my opinion, is an ok number? At the peak of the war I'd expect the Legion to have at least 50,000 men fighting and at the start of the war, at least 20,000 men, meaning that there will be a total of 20 legions; I think that in Cyrodiil there would be 5 legions in active service and 3 in the other provinces, while there will be 6 in reserve during the start of the invasion. Gradually this will increase to fifty legions as the war goes on, for 50,000 men, which will be a reasonable considering the population of Tamriel. Although it says 500 in one of the posts, personally I think for a Legion that's a bit low, so I want to set an amount to avoid confusion.

[North Banrodesia]

I reckon that at the beginning of the war, There was about 30 Legions, Around about 7 from each province under imperial control.

[Vahvanti]

I'll use the lore-accurate measurement (as seen in Skyrim) and put it down to a whopping zero point zero five legions per battle.
