Within the Depths of a Dream
Hello! I have had an idea to create a new Elder scrolls V: Skyrim rp. I have a ton of details to post about, everything from your ever filling journal to the fact that Lydia can't be everywhere at once. If I get enough interested then I'll post a mile long list of details.


Thanks for taking the time to read this,


-Stone

Great, I'll work on posting the details at soon a I can. It might be for a bit because if all the things I have to address.
 
OK here we go:


RULES:

  • This will be a Casual Rp so I would like AT LEAST 1 paragraph (5 sentences).
  • Please no Metagaming, Overpowered characters, and Mary suing.
  • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stick to lore as best you can. I may modify some things to fit and rp of several people but for the most part its 100% Skyrim lore.
  • All RP Nation Rules apply
  • Language should remain decent (But I don't mind Skyrim related insults)


CHARACTERS:


Your character can be any of the in-game races. For your appearance, NO ANIME. Please if possible get a screenshot of them in-game then just describe the changes And I should mention that yes your race DOES affect your rp. As in:


Khajits:

  • Will talk in 3rd person unless they have a good reason not to
  • They are not allowed in cities. The main reason being that they are see as thieves.


Elves (All races):

  • Snow elves are gone the only one left isn't mating anytime soon.
  • The high elves tend to be full of themselves, if you rp as one expect lots of hate.


Nords:

  • They generally HATE the empire so I wouldn't suggest joining the legion.
  • Are in love with their mead.
  • Some aren't that fond of other races.


You get the idea.


DRAGONBORN:


You will have the option to rp as the dragonborn or not. If you chose not to then your character can’t know or do the following:

  • Meet with the greybeards
  • Obtain a word of power
  • You have no change at killing alduin (Other dragons maybe)
  • You can’t obtain dragon souls
  • No shouts
  • Do i need to continue?


WORDS OF POWER:


You will gain words of power as you would in game. Completing random dungeons and absorbing the word. Now, you can’t be walking along near whiterun and find a ruin like Ysgramor's Tomb you actually have to find them while rping. Also, when rping a dungeon DO NOT FADE TO BLACK THEN COMPLETE IT. Fight some druger, collect some loot and work for it. When at the word wall, how does your character react to obtaining a word? Does it give a rush of excitement? Possibly intense pain? That is all for you to decide.


ALDUIN:


Lets face it, we all can’t go and shove a nice sword in that giant scaly hide of his. Only ONE person will be able to defeat him. Some might say that isnt fair. Well you need to work up too it, not just get in the rp and your first post is something along the lines of


“Getting off of Odaving’s back (Insert name here) exclaims “Alduin is DEAD!” Villagers rushing towards them, Adorning (Insert name here) with Jewels and..”


Trust me, if you do this then most would slap you for meta. To decide who gets the glory of defeating him i will either:

  1. Make it a first come first serve.
  2. Randomly generate who will get the honor
  3. not have the option at all


Most likely B but we’ll see.


FOLLOWERS:


Now there will not be 18 million lydias running around skyrim. The followers will work like this, first come first serve. NO exceptions. If someone has already become thane for that hold then the jarl with either decline your application for thane or you will get a totally different house carl.


I may or may not have a spot on your Character application to reserve a certain follower but I make no promises.


GUILDS/QUEST LINES:


We all can’t be harbinger or obtain the skeleton key so the guilds and quest lines are going to have to be modified in a way. Because I know we all want that nightingale armor. Other that that i have no idea what the modification would be. If you have any ideas feel free to tell me.


WEREWOLVES AND VAMPIRES:


(For all of you who left your Twilight hatred at the door please go retrieve it. I am no fan of twilight so go right on ahead and rant to your hearts content)


You will be able to contract both of the diseases in more than one way. The first is your old gets attacked in the woods, 3 days later the infection has reached its full and you are either a vampire or werewolf. Now the quest line for the companions is another option but how that is going to be modified to fit more than one player is still unknown.


WOLVES:


If you are a wolf, you are affected by the following:

  • Lunar transformations (Ill try and list what phase the moon is on)
  • Silver- when touched it will burn, when wounded by a silver or silver laced weapon the wound will heal as if you were human.
  • Heightened senses (Smell, hearing, strength etc.
  • You don't have to be in the companions and I am making them obsolete for now


VAMPIRES:

  • You will contract vampirism as you would in game by having one use life drain on you. You can also get infected by having another person bite you.
  • Heightened senses
  • Sunlight will burn you unless your skin is covered. Your health and Magicka will be affected as well.
  • Anything I failed to mention


DAWNGUARD:


The RP will be played as in Dawnguard is installed. I'm not using dragonborn for the sole reason that I don't want people flying dragons and killing people with no time to react. The quest line is first come first serve and I'll tell you when I'm allowing it to be rped. And yes I love Serena too so expect me to be their at well.


MODS:


I think it'll stay vanilla for now but I'll add some mods (that go with lore) at request. Some I'm thinking of adding to the rp are:

  • Animated dragon wings and flight- the potion recipe will require more ingredients to make but if your born with the soul of a dragon, it would make sense. Right?
  • Various player homes- I'll think of some later. We don't want 12 people living in breezehome now do we?
  • Enhanced Khajiits and argonians- so they have feline like feet, Argonians talons.
  • Any suggestions that I dem "go with lore"
  • Maybe some quest mods but as of right now you have an empty journal to fill


They won't be added right away but when I think there needed or i get requests to add them then I will. If added I would announce to the whole RP what was added, who requested it and why it's needed.

OK, please let me know if you have any questions and or if i missed any thing.
 
drummerboi said:
what about the dedra?
You are free to do any dedric quests and get the item. But keep in mind that they may only be completed once.


As for playable races, no. You many only be the races that are playable in vanilla Skyrim.
 
i know i was just asking and can any number of people be in a guild for example if one of are charicters are in a guild and anotehr persons in that guild can we still join?
 
so if i understand right its more like solo pvp then a group coop quests or something and we basicly fight each other to be "the hero"

Well I want more than one person in a guild at a time but then the quest would need to be modified in order to fit that many players. I was thinking that when enough people want to join a guild. Say 3 or 4. Then we open that guild up and modify the quest line as those 3-4 people make their way through it.

SaintHound said:

Well yes and no. If you wanted to, instead of getting a follower NPC you could have another player join you. If your both playing as Dragonborn then both or more of you could defeat alduin instead of just one person.


This goes for any other "major" quests as in the dawnguard quest line. A few could be in the vampire faction and some others could be playing as the dawnguard.
 
I dont think i will join this rp then i just dont like the system of it, with the first come first serve to compelete quest and get items this basicly will guarantee to make some one feel less/more powerfull then some one else while im fine with pvp rp this is feels kinda more like a race then pvp

At the moment I'm trying to think of a way to modify the main quest line so that no one would feel powerless. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
how about we do a how about we do like a real time quest reset like each week the quests reset in a week

I know what you mean, as in a weekly rest. Ehhh then the whole storyline wouldn't make sense if we constantly all kill alduin.


 
I have an idea but then i would require a set amount of players. As in i have (insert number here) Players join and close the rp. Then i modify the quest line for that set number of players so that everyone has a "part" in every "major" quest line.
