KSPAM PARTY PARTY PARTY I WANNA HAVE A PARTY from PARTY ROCK Since: Oct, 2009 Relationship Status: Giving love a bad name
PARTY PARTY PARTY I WANNA HAVE A PARTY
#201: Jan 14th 2012 at 1:31:34 AM

Since no one opposed the idea in the discussion thread, here is my proposal for a second character:

  • Name: Liethlri
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 27
  • Race: Bosmer
  • Birthsign: The Thief
  • Homeland: Skyrim
  • Appearance: Liethlri is actually quite tall, especially for a female elf, standing around 6' to 6' 1''. She has tan skin, just slightly darker than the Bosmer average, and has sharp, bedeviling hazel eyes. Her hair is braided here and there and is distinctly mangy, like she's spent weeks out in the wild without a comb or a shower. As far as attire is concerned, she is almost always found in an ensemble that is part Thieves Guild equipment and part Dark Brotherhood armor. While the outfits of the two groups are more than enough to raise a few eyebrows separately, together they often go unnoticed, although this is simply an unintentional side-effect to the look as far as she's concerned.
  • Personality: Affable, talkative, and generally quite fun to be around once you get to know her, many would suspect nothing of this particular Bosmer. However, be warned. Liethlri is not normal, and she prefers that to be the first thing she gets out of the way when introducing herself. In fact, she is often alarmingly straight forward about what one would imagine to be sensitive or disturbing topics, despite being remarkably deceptive and tight-lipped when she wants to be. She will freely admit what she is and what she's done to just about anyone who asks, but will spend the next five minutes lying to their face if it means cheating them out of even five septims. While this behavior seems unpredictable and abnormal, Liethlri simply refuses to lie about herself if it can be helped, plain and simple. She's rather proud of her skills as a career killer, not to mention habitual thief, and loves to show off and make a scene. One would be forgiven for mistaking this attitude for incompetence. However, Liethlri is anything but. She's frightfully good at what she does, and what she does is ruin and end lives in the cruelest and most prolonged ways she can imagine. She kills not for the money (but the money's good), but because she enjoys it. It provides her with a high both emotional and physical, and is quite possibly her greatest joy in life. However, this doesn't mean she'll kill on a whim. Not because of any sort of self-control, but because she feels a kill is best when it's special, when it's an occasion. So she waits, steals, and waits some more for her contracts to come in.
  • Possessions/Gear: Two Orcish Daggers, Thieves Guild Armor, Shrouded Gloves, Shrouded Boots, Maskless Shrouded Cowl, and a number of empty potion bottles. She also carries about fifteen hundred septims on her at any given time, with more tucked away in various locations.
  • Skills: Expert Pickpocket and Alchemy*, Adept Sneak and Apprentice One-Handed
  • Background: Liethlri never knew her mother or her father. She was simply another orphan, cast aside on the streets of Riften to fend for herself. She scraped by on scraps and whatever her little hands could catch hold of, but it was rarely enough, especially for a growing young girl. Then, one day, when she was around seven or eight, she decided to be bold, and take a step up from foraging and pickpocketing. She decided it was high time she stole something of actual value. Late one starless night, she picked a house, and made her move, sneaking in through the window. It was her intent to only steal the caluables and get out, but fate had other plans. As it turns out, the house's occupant, a lone old man, was still up and at 'em, and was not at all pleased to hear the commotion downstairs when Liethlri snuck in. Scared out of her mind, of both the old man and the consequences if she got turned over to the guards, Liethlri reacted solely on instinct, and assaulted the man, plunging an iron dagger lying around the kitchen right into his ribs. It was then, as the old man lay bloodied and dying before her, that Liethlri experienced something truly unusual. It was joy. Overwhelming, uncontrollable joy, excitement, ecstasy! It filled her up to the brim, threatening to pour over like so much of the man's blood. The feeling of it all was intoxicating. She wanted more. And it was more she found in the Dark Brotherhood. Years passed, and Liethlri killed and slaughtered and stole to her heart's content, honing her skills and making quite a pretty penny doing it. She became a member of the Thieves Guild in addition to her position in the Brotherhood as a way to ditch much of her stolen goods, as well as to give her an easy out should she ever be caught. Combine this with her tendency to kill exclusively with poisons as opposed to knives and swords, and you have a very successful, very free criminal.

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.

[up][up] I'm fine with the character, Chadderbox. Head on into the RP.

[up] 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.

Hmmm, 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.

[up] I 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.

[up][up] 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.

I think I'll just settle with Jeane for now. Forget I posted this.

Beurgh, 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.

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.

[up] Okay, gimme a moment to look that over...

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.

He 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.
