I'm fine with the character, Chadderbox. Head on into the RP.
I'm pretty against this character, to be honest. Being both in the TG and the DB basically makes her untouchable, and she has way too much money on her for her to actually need to participate in anything, really. If there isn't a high chance she'll get to kill something, it kinda doesn't seem like she'd ever do anything.
She essentially has a good deal too much resources and backing in whatever she does to make anything matter.
"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillHmmm, you're right. I suppose I let a little too much of my personal experience with TG's "Get Out Of Jail Free" card influence this character. I can tweak that around, assuming you don't have any problems with her personality and background.
I forget, are merchants going to be psychic in this RP? If not, that could eliminate the need for a fence.

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serialI think if the GMs are trying for realism, the question becomes whether or not the news of a given theft will have reached the ears of a given merchant, as well as how suspicious/gullible the merchant is.
Mind you, I'm not even in the...
@GMs: Uh, should I not be here, if I'm not planning on playing?

Ponders too much; thinks too little. Currently goes by Knowlessman.I don't mind a slight input once or twice, but if you're not interested in joining, you really shouldn't be hanging around.
The only real gripe that i have with personality is one i oddly feel like i'm seeing alot recently: It's kinda a very jarring mesh between two personality sets. Mind you, i know you have justification for it and know how to mesh it, but it's still kinda one of those personalities that feels like it'll keep violently switching around for eternity.

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillI think I'll just settle with Jeane for now. Forget I posted this.

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillBeurgh, mortals are boooooooooooooooooooring.
NAME: Richard Motierre*
Age: 30
Race: Breton
Homeland: Skyrim. He still doesn't like cold or bar fights, so he must have been raised by weirdos.
Appearance: Well groomed. Fine clothes, a distinctive lack of bruises or missing teeth. Red hair (Which causes a lot of problems. People get superstitious.), a dazzling** smile.
Personality: Charming, in a evil adviser sort of way. Throw in some Illusion magic (a school he has a tremendous gift in), and you have the perfect businessman.
Possessions: 2 Gold and Emerald Rings, one enchanted with Fortify Speech, another with Fortify Illusion. Enchanted by himself, made by some poor chap he convinced** to move to Morrowind. A Dwarven Dagger, pickpocketed off of a drunken mage in Winterhold. A good 700 septims. The rest is stored in an enchanted safe in a Nordic tomb. Three vials of Paralysis Posion, brewed by the late apothecary of Riften, prior to being commiting suicide under mysterious circumstances. (Coincidentally, said apothecary had left the entire estate to dear Richard after some negotiation**.) Speaking of which, he owns several small businesses, but due to the previously mentioned enchanted safe, most of the profits made are siphoned into that bloody Nordic ruin for who knows who to spend. He also had several hundred coin purses, for a reason later explained.
Skills: Illusion magic is his specialty, using it to commit various heinous crimes. He also has knowledge of Conjuration and Destruction. Speech is yet another skill of his, backed up by pickpocketing and lockpicking.
Background: Richard isn't actually a Motierre. He frankly has no idea what his family name is, and doesn't particularly care, unlike many an over-emotional orphan. Instead, he spent his early life blackmailing and scamming his way to the top of the business world, never once resorting to drawing a weapon to solve his problems. No, he has someone else do it for him, whether they like it or not. Eventually, he became extraordinarily rich. He decided not just to invest in an excursion into a ruin, but to participate. This was a grave mistake. Some ancient king had forseen the greed of the coming ages, and had powerful mages enchant his vault to siphon the wealth of its plunderers. Since that fateful day, coins and jewels and the likes have mysteriously disappeared from wherever poor Richard stored them. Because of the curse, he hasn't been able to hire anyone powerful enough to assist him in plundering the ruin and take back his vast fortune (and the fortunes of the other expedition members).
...
Until now.
:3
(*) Not actually a Motierre. Chose this name to help bolster his facade of being an honest businessman.
(**) Richard used Illusion magic to do this.

I AM TEEMO. I AM ETERNAL.That's good to know.
Cganale, if you're reading this: I am wounded, good sir. I'm nothing if not approachable about an RP i GM. Your ideas would need to be toned down, obviously, but we could possibly work something out if you're interested enough in joining.
KSPAM, if you're reading this, i'm still here and still willing to see to it that this doesn't die. I may not have an overarching plot in mind, but i'm working on whatever i can other than that.
Okay, gimme a moment to look that over...

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillHello there, good fellow!!!
...
This RP is in poor condition? How terrible.
Hopefully my participation will revive it???
I AM TEEMO. I AM ETERNAL.It's still active.
Gimme a bit longer on that profile...
That's alright, but keep in mind Illusion's kinda more of a very high persuasion check sort of thing; still costs something to use, but doesn't immediately make them do whatever you want. It just helps you persuade them.
Other than that, good to go, i suppose.

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank HillHe does have a high Speech to back it up, my good fellow.
Also, he's smart enough to know to pick on stupid people. You won't see him trying to trick a Greybeard.
And thank you. Going to finish perusing the RP.
I AM TEEMO. I AM ETERNAL.Dammit, I've been called out. XD
is the rp still open?
FUS RO DAWWWH!!!
Since no one opposed the idea in the discussion thread, here is my proposal for a second character:
Feel free to let me know if something doesn't sit right with you about any of this. Also, this was written in the middle of the night, so expect there to be changes made here and there.
