4E 193: A Elder Scrolls RP (OOC; Open)

[North Banrodesia]

The year is 4E 193; twenty-three years since the beginning of the Great War, And One hundred and ninety three years since Martin Septim sacrificed himself and end the Oblivion crisis. It seems the whole of Tamriel has settled into an uneasy peace with the Empire only controlling the provinces of Cyrodiil, Skyrim and High Rock with the borders being threatened by the Aldmeri Dominion in the south, Hammerfell to the west and the Argonian states of Black Marsh and Morrowind to the east after the eruption of Red Mountain which consequently destroyed Vvardenfell. However, This story does not concern the bloody battles in far away lands; In concerns the rich Imperial Pliton Magius, Who is sitting in his study from his house in Skingrad, Writing an advertisment to collect mercanaries for a rather certain task involving a particular series of books: The Mythic Dawn Commentaries. No-one knows where these mysterious books are, But Magius is paying an extreme price for whoever can find them. The Mercanaries are asked to meet at Twelve Noon at Luther Broads boarding house in The Imperial City before they set out over the whole of Tamriel to find the treasured books.


(Ok, Here's how applications go. The group of Mercanaries will be closed at 10 people, And there can only be one of each race in the party. If you didn't get to be the race you wished to be, Tough. I will still be accepting applications for other roles as opposed to the mercanaries, E.g. Bandits, Marauders, Counts, And anyone who may be involved. Applications should look like this:)

[Lancearc]

Name: Okan-Re
Race: Argonian
Age: 20
Appearance (Preferably Text): As a young Argonian, he has green-streaked scales around his eyes and face, but for the most part his scales are the typical red-orange.
Profession: Formerly a hunter in Black Marsh
Classification: Scout
Skills: Hunting in Black Marsh's swamps has enhanced his tracking skill, he is also a decent shot with the bow, and also due to hunting is decent at sneaking around people
Personality: As his parents always taught him, he is quick to forgive people for their wrongs, but this has before ended bad for him. He also possesses a courageous side when the time requires it, and is generally making jokes as he is a light-hearted guy, despite a painful past.
History: As a hatchling Okan-Re was always exploring when his parents avertd their watchful eye. As his grandfather was an archer for the Imperial Legion, and his father was the one who taught him how to track prey in the difficult to navigate swamps and wetlands of Black Marsh, Okan-RE quickly learned the trade. However, when he was 12, his father was lost in the swamps--either killed by many of the still unknown predators or by some other mysterious force, he did not know--and his mother fell ill. She died shortly after, and the young Argonian boy took it upon himself to make his way to Cyrodiil and to a better life, using the skills he'd gained. He was a woodsman around Chorrol for a few years, but then, once he was bored of the work, he leapt into the mercnary life.
Experience: His father taught him a few techniques Imperial Legion scouts used to track the enemy, and also wildlife.

[North Banrodesia]

Woops, Forgot to re-edit classification into the Application. You're approved, But If you could just edit a Classification into your app.

[Lancearc]

There we go, got it.

[North Banrodesia]

Ok, thanks.

Once all the Mercanary Spots are filled, I could do with some Marauder Applications, maybe a group that know the Mercanaries goal and plan to kill them and claim the books, in order to spice things up and actually have a person behind the adversaries.

[Knoxidus]

Name: Knoxos "The End" Aurelius
Race: Nord
Age: 26
Appearance: Highly pale skin as is typical for a Nord, mid-length brown hair with a dark tint, height 6 foot 2, Strong build and stubble for facial hair.
Profession: Bounty hunter
Classification: Battle Mage (I know it's unusual, but my character on Skyrim is actually built like this)
Weapon: Soszahkrii, meaning "blood sword", a weapon enchanted by the mages at the College of Winterhold to possess an unnatural sharpness. This enchantment extends to drawing blood from whoever even touches the edges, thus its name.
Armour: Steel Plate Armour enchanted with magical energies that allow destruction spells to be cast limitlessly: this eliminates the need for a colossal amount of magicka that the master level destruction spells would normally consume.
Skills: Heavy armour, One-Handed (blade) and Destruction magicks.
Personality: With the possession of apparent skill with a blade from an early age and the acquisition of his nickname ("The End"), Knoxos quickly developed the characteristic of arrogance. He is also well-known for his perfectionism, and his refusal to accept anything less. As well as possessing sarcastic wit, he has been known to act light-heartedly in non-important situations.
History: It was the year of 183 of the Fourth Era, in which he happened to stumble across a bizarre poster. The upper case letters read "WANTED", and the rest he ignored for the most part, as he had glanced upon a rather tantalising opportunity: 100 septims. At the age of 16, he surely wasn't capable of hunting a man down and claiming the wealth for accomplishing such a task... but he endeavoured against the odds. An easy kill he took, and witnessing the ease in which he acquired the gold, he continued bounty hunting for four further years. However, at the age of twenty, he became locked in a sword fight, one which he was confident he could win. His opponent, however, sensed his overconfidence, and used it to his advantage; he lunged, a lunge wihich was parried by a narrow degree; the parry had, however, had caused Knoxos to lower his guard, and his opponent struck; one blow to the arm, and one to the knee which knocked him off his feet. In an act of desperation, Knoxos made a quick slash at his opponent's torso, resulting in a fatal wound. Weeks later, Knoxos had recovered from his arm wound, however, it was not without long-term consequences: his shoulder has been permanently scarred, and another wound like that would be, unlike the original, irreparable. But this event had now made Knoxos realise that he required an additional attack strategy, and he turned to the College of Winterhold for his answer. Demonstrating an aptitude for Destruction magicks, he now commanded the elements of frost, shock and fire. Utilising his sword of blood "Soszahkrii" and his new mastery over fire, he destroyed his foes with lightning-fast efficiency, hence earning the title of "The End", being the last thing his enemies would ever see.
Experience: 10 years as a bounty hunter, advanced destruction training at the College of Winterhold.

[North Banrodesia]

Approved, but his skills will have to be balanced out due to their nature, so he could be average at using heavy armour, casting destruction spells and so on or exceedingly good at one and poor at the others.

Also, when specifying one-handed, could you also put whether he prefers bladed or blunt weapons?

[Knoxidus]

Done. And also, would it be possible to have a signature/trademark weapon category?

[Avorez]

Name: Karanak Dur'Barag
Race: Orsimer
Age: 27
Appearance: Karanak is a well-built, muscular young Orc. He has a warriors bit of hair cropped into a pony-tail at the top of his head, wrapped in a red cloth. He has a scar which runs from his brow, across his eye and into his cheek.
Profession: Soldier
Classification: Orc Berserker
Skills: Heavy Armor, Blunt, Tactician
Personality: Karanak is usually taciturn outside of battle, but when in battle Karanak becomes a weapon that brutally crushes all who stand in his way. He uses the ability of his race to fly into blood rages with ease. Karanak is, however, known to engage in revelry whenever he is able, enjoying drink, food, song, and women to his hearts content.
History: Karanak, like many orcs, was born in a Stronghold, there he learned the basics on how to be an orc: fight and prosper. He grew into his role as a protector of the stronghold, but he was bored fighting the lone bandit or the occasional marauder group, he wanted more. He left his stronghold, which was far to the north in the Jallus Mountains, and went to Anvil where he joined the Fighters Guild.

During his tenure with the Fighters Guild, Karanak encountered many threats such as Goblin Tribes, Marauder Warbands, and Bandit Rings, of which all were met with a screaming orc who chopped them to bits with his battleaxe. After four years with the guild, Karanak left at the age of 23 and became a soldier in the army of a rich nobleman. This nobleman, Lord Enriel, was (and still is) a rich man who owned an estate in County Chorrol, known as Battlehorn Castle.

Karanak was Enriel's best soldier and eventually became his honor guard, however this wasn't to last. Karanak fled at the age of 25 when Enriel's son attempted to murder Karanak. SInce then, he has been a freelance sword-for-hire until he found this group and began to travel with them as a mercenary band.

Experience: Warrior of a Stronghold until age 19 (3 Years), Fighters Guild member until age 23 (4 years), Battlehorn Vanguard (1 year), Honour Guard (1 year), Independent Mercenary (2 years).

Quoted from the OP. And how can you know of the Elder Scrolls and know only of the Nords?

[North Banrodesia]

You can be a nord, but you'd have to settle as a bandit or other third party.

[Alrainia]

never said anything abought knowing anything abought elderscrolls and i guess ill be a human

[North Banrodesia]

If you don't know about TES I strongly recommend you do not apply for a main role. I'm not asking you to leave as you could quite quickly adapt, but If you would be OK with settling as a Third Party for now, it would save a lot of trouble, and you would have a decreased burden.

Also, there is no true 'Human' in TES; there is Man and Mer, Man being, well, Races most resembling your bog-standard Human. You have:

Imperials, a race of Man which I would probably relate to a Human the closest.
Bretons, Skilled with magic and melee, toughened from the conditions of their home province of High Rock.
Redguard, A Dark-skinned race, skilled warriors and renown for the Alik'r, a force from the home province of Hammerfell, known for their curved swords.
