[M][OOC] Skyrim: Rise of the Stormcloaks

[lain]

Such lovely posts all around! As you can see, I'm quite a bit out of practice. I don't think I've been in a successful rp in probably 3 years. hahaha

I shall add both to the character list. I think when we get one more person we can start the IC up.

I'd love to join I just find myself to not be a big fan of Ulfric personally. Are there any other majorly needed roles? If not I could be persuaded to be the High King

Psh no worries! Play whoever you like! Looking forward to your sheet!

[Alanoth]

Thanks for the welcome I'll have something up tonight

[Fox Xalian]

All of us look forward to it, Alanoth

Oh heck, I'll play Ulfric if you want. He's was my favorite character in Skyrim<3

[Fox Xalian]

Go for it, Canaan! Although he won thave an easy time of things I'm sure. All of them Boethia.

Sweet! We have a leader conflict! I may submit this for rp of the week so we can have more people for both sides! I don't want you to end up alone, Canaan.

By the way, if anyone has any suggestions for the layout of the first post with the character sheet and story, PLEASE let me know. I feel like it's lacking but my brain isn't good at explaining the actual plot and stuff. Like for real, you could type something up and I'll copy and paste it over my crummy post. lol

I just want to attract lots of players.

Awesome! I'm reading up on Ulfric and the world-state during the events of Skyrim so I can try to play him accurately. While our rp is taking place in Skyrim, I have to point out the important, and unstable political situation of Tamriel at time of our rp. The rp itself doesn't have to leave Skyrim, but an important part of playing Ulfric's character would be diplomacy and politics with the other states, especially with his aims against the Aldmerri Dominion, and vice versa.

Spoiler: Map of Tamriel's Political State 

Of course, Skyrim is now Independent. Pursuing an alliance with Hammerfell is an obvious course of action. Then comes the competition between the Empire and Ulfric over control of a now isolated High Rock. Of course, this can all potentially be played out in Skyrim if we wish to do so.

"There will be peace for a time, during which we must rebuild Skyrim into the land it once was. Strong. Self-reliant. The center of mankind. Because getting rid of the Empire was only half the problem. Soon, the elves will again seek to rule the world. We must ready ourselves to fight them. For it will be Skyrim that shall lead Tamriel in those dark days, when the fate of the world is finally determined." -Ulfric Stormcloak
