ELMIRA SKYE WHITESTONE 20. Huntress. Quiet, serious, yet with a thirst for adventure. Elmira grew up in a poor, yet satisfying household, the only child of the Whitestone family. Yet she left for the desire to obtain some freedom, and when coming back, realized that her parents had been killed. She avenged them with the help of a saber tooth cat. Since the dragons have become more than a legend, Elmira has the goal of becoming a member of the Blades and being a dragon huntress in a way to help protect Skyrim. So...someone should totally decide to become a Blade member too ;3 *nudgy nudge* But yeah! Anything would be good, just ready to start role playing some Skyrim! IAIN ARROWAY Twenty one years old. Nord. Stormcloak scout. Hotheaded. Iain is from an influential family with the last name from Arroway and hails from the city of Solitude. With two older brothers and one younger sister, he decided to leave the cushioned life that had been given to him and join the Stormcloak rebellion. AARALYN ARCHMAN Aaralyn is a seventeen year old Wood Elf. Originally she hails from Ivarsted, but after bandits murdered her parents, she and her brother Alek were carted off to the orphanage of Riften. Though she was previously a happy, balanced child, after she witnessed her parents execution, she became withdrawn, and what she endured in the orphanage only deepened this reservation. She now has a home that her brother provided, unknown to her, from money he got from the Thieves Guild, and she is free to study Alchemy like she has growing up. It's not uncommon to see her roaming the surrounding area to gather the supplies she needs to make potions and other concoctions, including food that she loves to cook. Despite her cold outer shell, she's an extremely compassionate and curious being, and loves to explore, but usually avoids people if they aren't in need of help in some way. DERRICK RAIHL Twenty four. Imperial intelligence. Emotionally controlled, charismatic, somewhat sarcastic, and very cunning. Derrick grew up in a rough way, his father failing to provide for his family. Eventually the death of his mother and father caused them to be on their own, with Derrick to keep them both alive. They lived in a cave near a small village for some time, before they were found and adopted into the Raihl family. Since then he's become educated and finally joined the army after his older adopted brother got killed in duty. He's a bit of a rogue scout and intelligence gatherer for the Imperial army, wanting to avenge his brothers death. ASTRID Assassin. 26 years old. Nord. Astrid is the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. I'd love to get her started in plots and stuff, anything would be great! Except...lovers. She's faithful to her husband, but she would definitely like to kill some people, or attempt of course ;3 She's cold, heartless, and power hungry. TONILIA 22, Redguard. Sarcastic, intelligent, cold, and insolent to authority. As a member of the Thieves Guild, Tonilia is clever and sneaky, and has proved herself plenty of times in the five years she has been so. She grew up much of her younger years in Hammerfell, with an abusive father, who finally was killed in front of her for crimes he had committed. She was then sent to the orphanage in Riften, only to endure more beatings by Grelod the Kind. Finally she was adopted out to a family that used her as nothing more than a farm slave. Yet she continued to bide her time, until the husband of the couple that had adopted her died. From seventeen years old to her current age at 22, she's been a member of the Thieves Guild, and serves as their Fence, or person that buys and sells stolen items as well. CAPTAIN WESLEY MOREL 25. Breton. Roguish, mischievous, self-serving, mad genius, arrogant, Spontaneous, unpredictable, cunning, witty, yet always seeming to bumble into situations. Captain Wesley Morel hails from Daggerfell. He's the eldest sibling from a large and wealthy family. He was supposed to be the heir to his father's business, but instead he stowed away on a merchant ship. That got raided by a band of pirates that took him in. Four years after, he was given the ship by the old Captain, and now sails the seas as Captain Wesley Morel, pirate and adventure extraordinaire. SIRI THE DARING 23. Nord. Siri is a Stormcloak soldier. She grew up in a peaceful life free from many problems. A bandit raid gave her the second name 'the Daring', which is appropriate for this young woman. She's extremely witty, sharp, intelligent, and adventurous. With a taste for new and exciting things, Siri would much rather do something daring than live a quiet life in a quiet town. The last thing on her mind is marriage, and she grew up as quite the tomboy, where ruffles and lace meant extremely little. Despite her mother's best attempts, she still doesn't resemble the lady that her mother tried to mold her into. LYDIA 27. Nord. Somewhat violent, hotheaded, impulsive, sarcastic, and loyal. Housecarl of the Thane in Whiterun. Lydia was the daughter of a previous Thane in that fine city, who got severely injured in battle during the first dragon attack and died later from his injuries. After that, Lydia was promoted to being a housecarl, and eventually stationed as the Housecarl for a Thane that proved worthy of that title. She now spends most of her time guarding that Thane, though she also can be found around most places in Whiterun. Say anything bad about her or her own, and she'll knock you on your backside. NARIKO 19. Breton. Bandit. Neutral. Mage. Nariko is arrogant, insolent, sarcastic, willful, and passionate about life. Nariko's always had problems with authority. She was raised by her elderly grandmother and had to flee Daggerfall after running with the wrong crowd caused her to get in over her head and in trouble with the authorities. She's now been in Skyrim for two years and continues to live a wild life as a bandit. FAILDE Failde is a twenty year old Altmer. He's arrogant, sarcastic, dramatic, extremely intelligent yet extremely socially incompetent. He also has an extreme phobia of germs and anything that he deems as barbaric. Having grow up in Solitude, Failde's parents forced him to go from his dream of being a writer to being a Thalmor. Despite this, he despises the barbaric life of most that live in Skyrim and wants only to hide out in his room and avoid the Thalmor that he's become an aide to. Elenwen...or the devil himself. How such a hot momma can be so evil, he'll never quite figure out. THORIN BATTLE-REND 51 years old, Thorin is the Jarl of Winterhold and has been for many years. He's quick tempered, ornery, and a bit of a rogue. On the flip side, he has a sharp sense of wit to those he doesn't want to throttle, and is also loyal as far as death. He fought in the Great War when he was a young man and came home from that to find his family slaughtered, thus forcing him to take on the role of a Jarl. He's strongly aligned to the Stormcloak rebellion and hates the Thalmor and everything they stand for. I have a request up for his family here! You should definitely take a look!

| [atrb=border,0,true] You can't hunt dragons with out arrows. Well you could, but you'll probably get eaten. Ella sells arrows to hunters, soldiers, dragon hunters,adventurers, and anyone else who really wants them through Skyrim. She often stops at hunter's camps to trade with them for arrows or other supplies. So they very likely have met or at least know the similar people. Rosella would find her desire to join the Blades interesting, and would suggest that she recommend Ella's arrows when she does find the remnants of the blades.
|
app . 20 . bosmer . arrowsmith . merchant . awkward . kind . stubborn .
| [atrb=border,0,true] Nord. Nord. Nord. He grew up in Windhelm, attended the mages college and is now in Solitude. He does travel somewhat often, especially between Solitude and the College. He's only two years older than she is. He is a little bit stuck up, but he's brilliant with restoration magic. He would be more than willing to give her a few pointers if she wanted. And could get him to stop reading long enough to talk to her. I doubt he will be helpful in her quest to find the blades, but he is fairly certain that they will have quite an interesting time should they cross paths.
|
app . 22 . nord . apprentice court wizard . healer . bookish . careless .
| [atrb=border,0,true] Isobel is an Imperial Soldier. They have a thread together, but she did not want to be left out of the plotting. She is the most likely of the three to be at all interested in joining the blades, but only if she felt it was for the good of the Imperial Legion, and only if it did not require her to go missing form her normal duties. Her loyalty is to the Legion first, but she would not be opposed to making friends with Elmira, as long as she isn't a Stormcloak and keeps her wolf under control.

XD I can see them being friends over their proficiency with a bow. Elmira would definitely have to thread with her to get some arrows sometime, perhaps after she runs in with a dragon and most of her arrows were used or destroyed? After all, what's a huntress without her weapons?
Elmira always desires to get stronger, and would probably welcome someone teaching her more magic that she could use to advance in that strength. For that reason, she might travel to Solitude to see what she could find out about magic, and somehow manage to get him to help her in that area? XD (She says she shouldn't have a problem getting attention...but books > Sexy girl? )
XD Poor Isobel and her wolf. Though Elmira isn't exactly fond of the Thalmor, she has yet to choose sides and will probably continue to remain neutral. She would love to have someone join the Blades with her ;3 But of course, she wouldn't expect someone to give up their life for a dream that she has. Basically she just needs to stop talking to her animals and get some friends.

So, you added a few friends since I replied to this originally….
| [atrb=border,0,true] Ella and Iain would probably be similar in relationship to Ella and Elmira. She trades with both the Stormcloaks and the Imperials so, she'd probably have stopped and sold arrows to him at some point, since he does archery. He seems pleasant enough, and he's far less scary than some of the people she tries to trade with.
|
app . 20 . bosmer . arrowsmith . merchant . awkward . kind . stubborn .
| [atrb=border,0,true] Also a Nord. Also generally aligned Stormcloak (four of his older brothers are Stormcloak soliders). And he currently lives in Solitude. He also grew up in an influential family, but in Windhelm not Solitude. He feels him on that one. He however did not leave his family to join a rebellion or anything so noble. He was shipped off to learn magic, because he's a horrible embarrassment to his family. ANYWAY… they could be friends-ish. It would be fun.
|
app . 22 . nord . apprentice court wizard . healer . bookish . careless .
| [atrb=border,0,true] If Isobel did not know he was a Stormcloak, she would be head over heals for him, because… well look at him… they also have similar go getter mindsets, hot tempers, and are incredibly loyal. However, if she did know he were a Stormcloak, it would be bad. They would have to be enemies, no matter how incredibly attractive he is for a Nord.
|
app . 18 . imperial . imperial courier . soldier . overeager . brash . excitable .
| [atrb=border,0,true] They both lived in Solitude. She is married, expecting her first child, but otherwise unoccupied really. She is a witch hunter, and when her husband is away on business she spends her time answering bounties relating to Withes, Hagravens, Necromancers and Vampires in Skyrim. The chance that they have or will cross paths is pretty high.
|
app . 26 . altmer . witchhunter . enchanter . intelligent . steady . kind-hearted .
| [atrb=border,0,true] They are both Bosmer. As such, Ella automatically likes her. Ella is not an alchemist, so she would probably be willing to trade arrows or bows with Aaralyn for potions and what not. She thinks that Aaralyn is adorable. Being a little awkward herself, I think that they would get along very well outside of business relationships as well. Ella comes to Riften pretty often, (thieves like arrows) so they probably know of each other.
|
app . 20 . bosmer . arrowsmith . merchant . awkward . kind . stubborn .
| [atrb=border,0,true] Both elves, though different types. Layla is also an alchemist, from a professional stand point she may have stopped to see what Aaralyn had to sell once or twice while she was out hunting. Layla is currently feeling all maternal and would totally want to take care of her. And would be willing to trade potions recipes and tips. It's the whole with child thing, it makes her a little nurturing. She can't help it.
|
app . 26 . altmer . witchhunter . enchanter . intelligent . steady . kind-hearted .
| [atrb=border,0,true] We can totally do a thread with them if you want!
|
app . 20 . bosmer . arrowsmith . merchant . awkward . kind . stubborn .
| [atrb=border,0,true] I would love to see her attempt to get his attention away from his books by being sexy… Just because in my head, he's totally oblivious to anything that would be considered sexy… He is pretty sure that books are > girls. Not that girls aren't nice to look at. He'd just be oblivious, because thats just how he is.

Iain & Rosella Yeah, I think he would definitely know her. I was going to specialize him in duel wielding (and still did) but reading Violet's history, the Arroway family is amazing at being archers, so heck yes he'd love some arrows! And a friendly conversation with someone that isn't a Stormcloak male. XD Iain & Alistair Iain needs a broski, even if he is a not very friendly broski! Like Elmira, Iain could definitely have a desire to learn some more magics, since it's in his interest to...you know, stay alive. Does Alistair ever leave Solitude? Because though Iain is a hothead, he might not travel so far into Imperial land just to hang out. xD Iain & Isobel XD That's funny. Okay, so they should totally have a conflicting thread. Since she's just hanging out, pretending to be a hunter, he definitely doesn't hang out in Stormcloak garb, has a more 'wealthy' stance about him, they should totally just meet and be all friendly, and then she could realize that he's a Stormcloak. Draaaama! I can imagine she'd not be happy while he's just grinning and admitting he is a Stormcloak soldier. ;D He's just cheeky enough to be laughing about meeting a pretty Imperial soldier. Iain & Layla I would imagine that these two knew each other, if they both grew up in Solitude and yada yada. Does she still do bounties even while pregnant? If so, their paths could cross out in the wilds, perhaps he has something against a vampire or one of those for some reason, and is just going after it for his own personal interest? Elmira and Alistair XD I think that would be pretty funny. Elmira definitely isn't a social butterfly and has never thought of herself as anyone with the ability to catch the attention of men, but she could definitely give it a go ;3 The hilarious waiting to happen here! Aaralyn and Rosella Aaralyn definitely needs a few friends, since she normally just sticks to her brother and her dog. XD She's a bit of an archer herself, and I'm sure she's at least seen Rosella around Riften, maybe even selling her brother some things, (Though she doesn't know for sure that Alek is in the Thieves Guild) since she's highly observant. They could have some grand adventure of some sort, like Rosella being attacked by bandits (Or vice versa) on the road to Riften and Aaralyn would help out (Or vice versa) and then bond over selling each other things. Aaralyn and Layla . Aaralyn would definitely be willing to sell her potions and stuff, and she'd probably be completely enthralled with Layla's being pregnant (Behind her monotone face? XD) More friends is definitely needed. Is...is that everyone? o.o So many

| [atrb=border,0,true] Yes. He does leave Solitude. He goes out to get ingredients or run errands up to the college. Alistair would be all in favor of Iain staying away from Solitude. He wouldn't be there if it wasn't such a great opportunity for learning. He's kind of a book-junkie. It's a big problem for him. But yeah they could do something out in Skyrim somewhere else.
|
app . 22 . nord . apprentice court wizard . healer . bookish . careless .
| [atrb=border,0,true] I like this idea. We need to have them have a thread. Because well its too good to pass up. Also their names both start with I, and personally, I love a good alliterations. So… just saying.
|
app . 18 . imperial . imperial courier . soldier . overeager . brash . excitable .
| [atrb=border,0,true] Yes, she still does bounties. She shouldn't but it's her personal addiciton. She does try to keep them close to home, but will travel if the plea is desperate enough or the prey particularly challenging. Witchhunting is her drug… She just tries to make sure she's home before Taros gets back. They could totally know each other, and bounty and things. Adventure Time!
|
app . 26 . altmer . witchhunter . enchanter . intelligent . steady . kind-hearted .
| [atrb=border,0,true] I approve of this idea. We should write threads with them at some point in the near future. I love Elmira. She's a hilarious character.
|
app . 22 . nord . apprentice court wizard . healer . bookish . careless .
| [atrb=border,0,true] Ella has spoken to Aleks at least once. They have a thread together. Ella has no issue with thieves as long as they don't steal form her. I like this idea. Bandit attacks are good. Ella spends quite a bit of time being rescued by bandits, it would be interesting for her to be the rescuer, but I'm game with either way.
|
app . 20 . bosmer . arrowsmith . merchant . awkward . kind . stubborn .
| [atrb=border,0,true] Off subject, I love her name Aaralyn… it just feels really cool to type. Okay back on topic. Layla would be amused that she was enthralled with pregnancy, she doesn't find it particularly wonderful herself. But it's starting to hinder her ability to make a living, so… that's a a thing. But yes Yay Potions buddies!
|
app . 26 . altmer . witchhunter . enchanter . intelligent . steady . kind-hearted .
| [atrb=border,0,true] OMG. These two have to get together at some point. They are both Imeprials for their own personal reasons, and are non-traditional soldiers. She couriers, he scouts, they're going to be awesome. She's one of the few women in the Imperial Legion (Fun fact there are no random NPC women in the game in the Imperial Legion in the game, all the Imperial soldiers are Men, except the few important plot women.) She loves her job and is super loyal to the Empire and they need to be friends, or lover, or awesome bad asses, or super secret ninjas, or whatever. Okay probably not ninjas… let's not get carried away… Yes. She's super excited for Imperial friends.

Iain & Alistair *strokes chin* Well they can totally meet somewhere. Iain is just forward enough that he would go into almost any city Imperial controlled to do something he needed, and being a scout, he could always be up for getting information from people. Since Alistair's family is sided with Stormcloaks, perhaps Iain could somehow ask for him to be somewhat of a spy for information, even if he doesn't get involved or something? XD I dunno, just coming up with strange ideas. Iain & Isobel Okay! This does like a lot of fun, so I can start a thread for them? Ivarstead sound alright? :0 Or the outskirts? XD No sense in him blowing her cover or something, so it could be away from a city. Though he probably would be so flabbergasted and amused that he would just let her go and not really say anything. Because...he likes dancing with fate? Iain & Layla Adventure time sounds like fun! Iain would probably be a little dismayed about her being pregnant and out there. Because he would freak out about it, because he freaks out. Yeah... XD Anyways! It's up to you, if you would like a thread, I'd be happy to thread these two! Elmira and Alistair Okay! I also approve, because she could always use more threads. Do you want me to start it too? I don't mind XD Aaralyn and Rosella XD I'd totally be fine with Aaralyn being rescued by Rosella! It's not like she's a true full born hunter strong warrior lady, so though she can wield that bow of hers with style, Rosella would definitely be a help to her! Aaralyn and Layla . Well thank you! xD I absolutely hate coming up with names. She's really not used to babies and things like that, so she could probably get Layla more excited about it ;3 Derrick and Isobel Well Derrick definitely needs some posting love! XD Since they're really..the only two in the army on the site, right? o.o He's a charming type, so he'd be happy to be around a pretty woman, and eventually I don't see why they couldn't get together and be super secret ninjas ;3 Because he deals with a lot of Intel and she carries messages, perhaps he's supposed to be giving her some information on something for her to take back to Solitude, and then decides to travel back with her?

elmira ; cyrus - welll~ cyrus is my new guy. he's a mercenary, who travels around skyrim, looking for work, or just because he can't seem to manage his wanderlust. i'm thinking the two of them should be on good terms? perhaps they've crossed paths once or twice, shared a camp, and then been on their separate ways? idk. cyrus is a nice guy, pretty easy going, so yeah. he'd probably laugh snd encourage her dreams to join the blades, not cruelly, but just because he's kind of like that. i also think she'd remind him of his first love, looks-wise at least, so he'd probably go out of his way to run into her on occasion. sorry this kind of sucks. D: aaralyn ; violet - well, you know vi. xD violet's currently in riften, so they could always run into each other around town. violet is also going to end up with her brother at some point, so there could be a little bit of drama there depending on aaralyn's opinion of her? up to youuuu. c: derrick ; vex - i wanted to think of something for all of your characters, but all i've got for derrick is vex. vex travels a lot, so they could have crossed paths, or if derrick visits riften, they could meet in the inn there. i think she'd appreciate his sarcasm and cunning if they did meet, but i don't really see anything past acquaintances of sorts. unless you have some amazing idea, which would be cool. :D

Elmira and Cyrus I can see them having met once or twice, and Elmira can definitely use a few friends XD As for men, she's somewhat clueless, but if someone encouraged her to join the Blades, unlike most people, she would probably really value them as a friend. Perhaps he could have some information about the Blades she needs/wants, (Or just a BSed "I heard that they might be located here"?) and he can find her wandering around Skyrim? XD I dunno, I suck at plotting things out. Aaralyn and Violet I think...even if Aaralyn was trying to find some reason to dislike Violet, she would fail XD I could see Aaralyn feeling a little insecure around Violet if she didn't know her and thought she was just going to try and take her brother away from her and blah blah blah, since the only person she really trusts and loves is Alek. After she would see that Violet isn't that type, I would imagine that she would begin to really like her, and actually trust Violet? Future sissy booonding Derrick and Vex HHHHHHHMMMMMMM...well Derrick has a past history of being a bit of a thief himself while he was struggling to keep himself and his little brother alive as a young boy. He could be digging around for information on the Stormcloaks/stealing information and run into her attempting to steal something from somebody in the same place? XD That could be funny

elmira ; cyrus - omg, bullshitting elmira would be just like cyrus. but he'd follow her to make sure she didn't get into too much trouble. he'd think it was a riot, even if el got a bit mad with him. soooo friends totally sounds good for these two. :D aaralyn ; violet - aww, poor aaralyn. vi would probably think she's really sweet, and cute, and just want to protect her from everythingggg. but that all sounds good to me. i think vi would be a bit awkward around her at first, just because aaralyn is so withdrawn, but she'd try hard to make friends, and yeah, then they can trust each other, and be friends and such. c: derrick ; vex - ooh, yes. that sounds good. or vex could even be stealing from him. >3 anywayyy, i like this. they should be fun. (:
i know you have a lot of threads atm, so if you want to start any of these now or later, that's totally cool with me. just let me know. :3

Elmira and Cyrus Bahaha, as long as he doesn't mind an arrow to the knee with the BSing ;3 Kidding...of course I"m kidding <.< >.> Who ever gets arrows to the knees in Skyrim? Psh. Anyways, yeah XD I can see friends with these two! They can go on grand adventures of his BSing things Aaralyn and Violet Violet would totally start bringing Aaralyn out of her shell and learn to trust again XD Which Aaralyn really does need. Perhaps she could stay over or something? Or...just be there, or somewhere-...I'm terrible at plotting, can't you tell? ;3 Derrick and Vex LOL oh man...he would not take kindly to someone trying to steal from him XD He'd take it as such an offense, especially if she actually accomplished it. This should totally happen, so he can get all put out and cranky and have to track her down to get his stuff back. I love it XD -- Well I'm super busy this week, but I should be able to post :3 So I guess I'll put up threads when I can, or if you want to start them, that's fine! Either way, if you don't mind waiting a few days (or not, whatever my muse and homework allows), I don't mind the threads!
