Skyrim Roleplay
If you came here from searching on google you're welcome to join in by simply making an account.

Basic info:

In a cold region in Tamriel.. named Skyrim, you can make a character based of the Elder-scrolls lore.

A humanoid, Dragon, A monster.. you decide.

You can start of anywhere within the borders of Skyrim.

The timeline is starting when the Dragonborn (Dovahkiin) crosses the border to Skyrim, 200 Years after the Oblivion crisis. Don't make characters from Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion.

There can be multiple dragon-borns involved. You decide if you want to be one, or not.

This is multiplayer, so Skyrim in this thread, is not the Skyrim in the game. <- We know there isn't an orc or an argonian in the beginning of the game, in the wagon on its way to helgen.. But in this version of Skyrim, there was.

The story of this game will progress as it does in the video-game, but we will have to tweek the story here and there to make it multi-player. Just go with the flow, and we'll see how this turns out.

Below, the format will be found. If you are uncertain of any of the races or something like that, use the elderscrolls wiki.

Un-serious formats will be ignored.

Physical Description: (What you look like at first eye-sight.)
Equipment: (Your starting gear, don't overpower your character.)
Home-region: (Where your character was born.)
Short Backstory: (You don't need to add too much here, make it interesting to talk to you IC.)
Starting location: (Where you first take control of your character.)
Main skills: (Example: Small weapons, restoration. You don't need to sum up every skill. Just the ones that you mainly use.
Any other information?:

I don't think we need more than this. ^ Feel free to add something if you want.

Although I'm the founder of the Skyrim text-RP, You don't need acceptance from me anymore. I don't think its needed, and i trust the ones that even bother. If you somehow managed to decide to troll the thread.. Well, consider yourself warned.

If you suck when it comes to making a character.. I will probably tell you to fix it.

General rules regarding IN character. (IC)

All mobs are controlled by players.. Don't constantly rely on others to fight against you, although taking control of NPC's and mobs are greatly encouraged.

When you fight by yourself, you take control of the mob/mobs.

If you fight in a group with other players, you should discuss who controls the mobs or take the role as the group of mobs as you fight.

The roleplay doesn't have an official "Dungeonmaster".

Until further notice, you will have the upper hand in fights with Mobs and NPC's. depending on your equipment and skill. If you start without weapons, find one and learn how to use it. If you somehow manage to face a dragon, you're most likely to be dead if you're alone.

FIGHTS DEPEND UPON THE PROBABILITY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS TO OCCUR. <- You can't kill a powerful dragon alone.

When you roleplay, don't expect others to constantly control NPC's that are talking around you. I personally enjoy it, but I'm not available all the time, so if you want.. You can always progress the story yourself by making something happen.

You can allways make a new character if you die, or been imprisoned or something like that. Make sure you just have maximum 2 characters at the time.

If you've been inactive for a day or two.. Read what has happened and try to explain what happened to you while active members have progressed the story further from the point that you were active. If you KNOW that you're going to be inactive for a couple of days.. Please state so, and kill off your character or do something to make him/her vanish from the other players. It's ok if he's already somewhere else or something like that.

Example: *Johan walks out of the Inn explaining he just have to do something real quick.* ( I HAVE TO GO OOC FOR A FEW DAYS)

^ You can then join in later by suddenly appearing stating something like this:

*Johan suddenly walks into the dungeon behind them, panting.. "I've been looking all over for you guys!"

You can always make a new character, but make sure to kill off your current character first.

When you fight another player or mob or something like that, prepare to get owned. Accept death if players clearly have a advantage against you..you can always make a new character.

A mage would have an advantage if he's far from his enemy. If you're a mage and close to an enemy with a giant fucking axe, you're probably dead.

If a heavy armored melee-character is close too an archer, the archer stands no chance if he hasn't changed weapon or ran away.

Use common sence in what would have happened. Don't argue each other too much.


?If you're insecure in how stuff works.. Read some history in the thread below, do what players have done.
