Alright, I'm planning on doing an a character RP, sorta like Fable, meaning you have the choice to be good or evil, or in between, and choosing how you do things. I personally think it has a rather unique story myself, ( the thread, not the game), twists and turns and all that. However, I am rarely online, so would not be able to do something like this, at least not alone. As such, I was wondering if anyone would consider helping me out, by being "in charge", while I'm gone. This person would get the basic storyline told to them, get to be the 'big baddie', and be able to make any REASONABLE changes, if another RP'er does something unexpected.

Alright, now to explain some stuff, this will take place over two continents, Rezha, and Galgaresia. Galgeresia is a land of magic, and diverse beings, many lands, and is led by a council of all the different nations, (Which is of course corrupt). They carry along with the vying for power, and the politics, but over in Rezha, mister big baddie comes in. He has carefully and methodically taken over the entire continent, and of course has his eyes on nice rich continent over there. This may all appear to be your average maniac taking over the world story, but this is where things get interesting. For you see, there are these secret blokes over in Rezha, who have their own goals in mind. (No, it is not freedom for the conquered continent) They send an agent of theirs to steal a specific magical item, which is of course very dangerous.

Now, enter the heroes! And villians of course. All these brave souls, try to either combat or help the evil empire dude, or perhaps set up their own new world order. (Yes, I'll allow you to do that) Alright, heres what you need to join:

Name of character:
Gender:
Side: (i.e. good or evil, or in between.)
Proffesion: (i.e. theif, knight, polotician, magician, ect)
Affiliations: Brotherhoods, guilds, (I'll let a few od you be with the secret order)

*Sigh* On the second page already?

Well, as I said, I'm not on often enough to give this justice, I'm usually on every other weekend or so. So, I need someone to more or less take over while I'm gone.

I'm interested in this. And what do you mean become your partner?

So ya interested?

Hmmm.... What exactly did you want to know? I think I put in the relevant parts, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. In case you missed it because of the damned time warp, I already answered your question.

I said that I was. Just I want to know what this deal is with being your partner?

Twice bedamned time warp.

I'm interested, your plot could use some tweeking though.

OOC: I don't have anything else to do and I don't post every day either.

Why do you need a thief?

Name of character: Vekkesh 'Shadow' Quickclaw
Gender: Male
Side: Neither, but leans towards the good
Proffesion: Thief
Affiliations: No Affiliation
Weapon or magic style: Argonian dagger
Looks: Standard Argonian, scar on left side of face and three rings in left ear-fin, athletic build

Bio: Vekkesh, or simply 'Vek' grew up poor in the Black Marsh. An orphan from the first civil war, Vek survived mainly by fighting for and stealing what he needed to survive. Eventually as he aged, the stealing became easier than the fighting, and Vek assumed the occupation of thief. Like most Argonians, he is gifted in terms of agility and is a natural swimmer, which led him to this strange new land after fleeing execution in his homeland after stealing the prized ceremonial spear from the chief of a coastal village. Vek didn't count on the fact that the head merchant which he tried to fence the spear to was also the individual he'd stolen it from. The chieftain demanded Vek's head, and off he went through the Marsh until he hit the sea and he kept right on going as far as his body would take him. After several days of drifting and swimming, surviving on what few fish he could catch and eat raw, Vek washed up on the shores of this strange new land, Galgaresia.

It was here that he became a much better thief. The people of this new land lived in something other than one-room huts, which allowed him to use his natural agility to develop his acrobatical skills and become one of the best, if little-known, thieves in Galgaresia. Few others have his talent of balance and grace, making escape fairly easy for jumping between buildings and running up walls in those rare events that he is discovered. While a skilled fighter with his knife, Vek prefers a clean operation, taking life only when there is no other option. While a thief, he follows a code of honor similar to that of the Thieve's Guild even though he isn't a member. Vek's ability to enter places he shouldn't, be it by lock-picking or acrobatics, has made him something of a hot commodity for the resident nobles, who seek to out-do their neighbors by making their prized goods disappear, and Vek enjoys the practice. He's also made a bit of coin selling information he overhears during his theft operations, which he considers a nice little side operation...

I'm interested, your plot could use some tweeking though.

Such as?

Oh, and you're accepted WA.

OOC: Great, now why the thief?

Ah, I need someone to play the theif that steals the artifact for that secret order, more because its a very important role and I won't be on enough to do all the things that need doing.

OOC: OK. Just tell me what I need to do and it will be done.

Bio;

Basics:
Name: Coron Ekken
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Land of Origin: Unknown
Current Home: Galgaresia
Alignment: Neutral Good
Occupation: Mercenary

Appearance:

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 164 lbs.
Build: Slim-Athletic

Hair Color: Dark Brown
Hair Style: Kept at short-medium length, pushed back
Facial Hair: A patch of dark hair that covers the bottom of his chin

Eye Color: Forest Green

Clothing:
Coron dresses (normally) in a white, short-sleeve, loose-fitting shirt and black trousers, held up by a black belt with a silver buckle. On his feet are black boots. All in all, this is a very common dress, save for an orange, hooded cloak that he seems to always don. The cloak has a peculiar mark on the back: two silver keyes crossing one another with their edges facing outwards, whilst their bottoms are connected by a chain. Coron has been unwilling to explain the symbol or its meaning with anyone.

Weaponry:
Main Weapon: Otasai, a longsword that, for some odd reason, has a blade as green as Coron's eyes. A remnant of his father, who died before Coron was born, he has carried it with him for as long as he can remember. The weapon's true power was unleashed only once, and so far Coron has been unable to tap into it's magical essence.

Secondary Weapon: A curved dagger with a blade that seems to have a watery-appearance to it. The metal it is made out of is known as Damascus Steel: surprisingly tough, and it fits the weapon well. Coron has been known to draw this long knife and use it alongside Otasai in battle.

Weapons Capable of Using: Besides being a proficient swordsman, Coron has had training in using both the short- and longbow, as well as a basic experience in the pole-weapons (spears, staves, halberds, poleblades, and the like), daggers in general, and in most other common melee weapons (maces, axes, etc.)


History:

Coron has known nothing but wandering in his life. A swordsman for hire, he has done countless things that he's regretted, and even more so that he wishes he could take his life for. But, when times are hard and coin and bread are hard to come by, he has had no choice but to take up his blade for the highest bidder. Nonetheless, Coron Ekken is pure at heart, and deeply resents killing just for the sake of murder or to show power. He even detests the slaughter he commits just to earn a living. However, with his immediate family taken by disease and himself cast out onto the street, Coron learned very quickly that only the strong would survive. He took up the way of the sword, earning the respect and hatred of many all at once. To those that liked him, he was always kind and generous. To those that opposed him, he killed them quickly and mercifully when they attacked.

Over time, Coron grew weary of people taking advantage of his deadly art to achieve their own ends. However, when he began to refuse jobs on a moral basis, his benefactors and "friends" turned on him. In time, Coron Ekken became on of the most wanted and hunted people in his entire homeland.

So, in light of this, he left his home, eventually coming to Galgaresia in the hopes of finding a new home, a new job, and, with hope, a new life. He had no training in magicks or alchelmy, was intelligent but had no formal schooling, and was a born leader, although he never held a position of power. In truth, all Coron wants is just a peaceful life where he could settle down and relax for a change.

Fate, however, has denied him this, and with another twist of her meddeling fingers, she's about to take away Coron's peace once and for all ...

Haha, nice. Both accepted. Maybe I can finally get this thing going.

Name of character: Ali Hassan al-Sammoud
Gender: Male
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Build: Built
Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: Medium Length,
Facial Hair: A black goatee
Side: Evil
Proffesion: Apothecary/Tradesman
Point of Origin: Unknown
Current Location: Wanderer
Affiliations: None
Attire: Ali adorns a white trench coat with a hood lined with leather. A further white/grey pair of trousers is underneath this. He wears a leather X-Strap across his torso which holsters his main weapon with a leather holster on his right side for his revolver. A pair of heavy leather boots and gloves are also worn.
Weapons:
-Primary: A large Yatagan is used as his primary, and can be enhanced using the various oils and substances he makes as an apothecary. It has a shiny Indurium blade with a sturdy handle and hilt.

-Secondary: As his secondary weapons, Ali carries a small dagger and a six-shot .357 revolver. He makes his own ammunition and shells for it, and has become quite proficient at it to the point where he has been able to use the knowledge of propellants to fabricate bombs which he has been known to carry.

Bio: Ali was raised by an apothecary father and learned the ways of the trade by an early age. He was also taught by his father that in order to turn a profit, anything can be done to get your hands on the supplies you need. Ali joined a mercenary band for a short time and learned to fight and coerce people to do the things he pleased. After quitting the mercenary job, he worked his way up the apothecary ladder, becoming an Artisan at the trade after 11 years. His work with potions and dark brews have tainted his sould badly, and Ali rarely shows any compassion for his fellow man. He has been known to kill for things he needs and has a very dark demeanor, except for, of course, when he is selling his wares in markets across the continents of the world.

Alright, that should do it. I'll start the thread here soon. And, Wandering Argonians, still interested in being the theif?
