I've been playing a lot of Skyrim lately, perhaps a little too much and I've been interested in RPing in Skyrim and I've got a variety of plots that might be interest you, but first, let's get to my characters.

Lizalfos - He is a cold, sarcastic Argonian with a love for adventure. He might seem pretty tough on the outside, but once he warms up to you, he's quite a softy. As a member of the Imperial Legion, he works hard to keep the rebellion down, though he also has less savory ambitions with the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood.

The Drunkenborn - A kind hearted, mead loving Stormcloak. He genuinely wishes to see Skyrim free from the Thalmor's influences, though he's unaware of how much the country needs the empire. He's also affiliated with similar guilds simply so he can obtain as much gold as possible. He loves to battle and despite a kind heart, he's quite sadistic, he's known to take advantage of those he ends up besting in combat, usually using them for his pleasure before killing them.

Now, while both of them are Dovahkiin, since they are based on in-game avatars, this is completely adjustable.

Now, onto plot ideas. Lizalfos' plots will take place after the Imperial Legion has won the civil war, while Roy's will take place after the Stormcloaks have won.


Lizalfos plots


1. Reshaping Windhelm: The civil war may be over, but that doesn't mean many people are happy with the outcome. Thanks to the Imperials cutting off the head of the rebellion, Windhelm has grown unstable. Many of Ulfric's staunchest supporters have become restless and angry, many have begun harassing the Dunmer and Argonians even more, though no violence has broken out just yet, it's apparent that it'll likely happen soon.

Having expected conditions to improve for the Dunmer and Argonians, Lizalfos returns to Windhelm, but only to discover things have worsened. This leads him to go on another adventure to travel through in search of help, from other Argonians and Dunmer, to Nords, and everything in between. Will you aid Lizalfos in reshaping Windhelm?

2. An Underground Menace: For centuries, the Falmer have laid waste to those foolish enough to explore the ancient Dwemer ruins, savagely killing or enslaving those people for their own nefarious purposes. Thankfully, these vile creatures have kept to their underground chambers, but suddenly they've begun appearing above ground, kidnapping anyone that wanders nearby. So far, no one has managed to return after being taken by them, it's unknown what they do to those unfortunately caught.

Panic sweeps across the country and the Jarls have put up bounties to stop this menace, with many of them pointing towards the city of Blackreach. Lizalfos, who already has a stern hatred for the Falmer was quick to accept the bounty, he eventually runs into your character. Whether your character is a fellow mercenary or an escaped Falmer captive is up to you. But, after they meet, they decide it'd be best to work together to get rid of the Falmer.

3. A Vampire/Werewolf Menace: Thanks to the rise of the newly reformed Dawnguard, people all across Skyrim have been chipping away at the hidden coves of vampires, believing them to be nothing more than an eyesore to Skyrim and they want them gone, but they've failed to realize that not all vampires of vicious killers. Serana and her mother are great examples of it not being true. Werewolves have also been targeted for similar reasons.

Lizalfos has worked with loving vampires before and he wishes to change the nation's perception of the vampires, and being a werewolf himself, he'd like to change that a bit himself. Eventually, he runs into your character. Whether your character is a vampire, werewolf, both, or none of the above is up to you. The two of you begin working on helping the vampires that are genuinely trying to be good or loving.


The Drunkenborn plots


1. The Unlikely Duo: You are an Imperial, Roy is a Stormcloak. Naturally, you two have completely different goals. You believe Skyrim is apart of the empire and is subject to its laws and regulations. Roy believes that Skyrim should be free to do as it pleases. However, both of you can agree that the dragon crisis is something that needs to be dealt with. After all, you can't fight for a country that's been razed to nothing but ashes.

While you'd rather rip each other's throat out, you decide that can wait for awhile and hesitantly decide to work together. The two of you slowly build a reputation as a pair of fearsome dragon hunters, renowned for your strength and skill in combat. As you travel, you realize that the other isn't as bad as they seem. Will you remain friends despite being on different sides, or will you grow closer?

2. Bounty Hunters: Bounty hunters are common in Skyrim, it's a fun and exciting way to make money. Whether you're raiding bandits, slaying giants, or whatever, you're bound to find some kind of excitement. Today, you've come across a bounty asking for someone to take out both a cove of vampires and a group of Falmer that have been terrorizing the Reach. Normally, you'd take the job yourself, but you decided you wanted an extra hand. The reward was large enough for you to split in half and still make a nice profit.

You eventually bump into the Drunkenborn and decide to get to his help, offering to split the reward 50/50. Unable to pass up the opportunity to kill Falmer and the chance to make a ton of gold, he accepted. The two of you head off to complete the mission, and after its completion, you decide to keep working together, forming a fearsome reputation.

3. A Forsworn Rebellion: The Forsworn have always been known for their hatred of the major settlements in the Reach and have often raided them for various reasons, but usually these attacks were minor and resulted in little bloodshed. However, the King in Rags, Madanoch has decided to launch an attack, beginning with Markarth. The guards are doing their best to hold back the waves of Forsworn, but they cannot do it alone.

You, the Drunkenborn, Lizalfos, among a few others have been called out to help quell the menace. The battle has been long and hard, but eventually you manage to come out on top. Following the battle for Markarth, an order had been given to exterminate the remaining Forsworn. A massive 200,000 gold reward has been offered for each camp taken out. Will you and your new allies accept the offer and exterminate the Forsworn?


Your character's race really doesn't matter, but realize that they're more likely to work with their own race than others. Lizalfos gets along with the Argonians mostly, but he'll also cooperate with Khajiit, Bosmer, Dunmer, and Imperials as well. He doesn't get along well with Altmer or Nords very well, and the Orcs, Bretons, and Redguards are neutral for him.

Roy gets along best with fellow Nords, but will also cooperate with Khajiit, Bretons, Redguards, and occasionally Imperials. He doesn't get along with any of the mers or the Argonians, just keep that this in mind.

I don't have many requirements for the RP, except I need at least a paragraph per response and patience is necessary when playing with me. I can respond right away sometimes, other times it'll be a week before I get to you. Romance is a possibility in any of the plots, but it isn't required. Shoot me a PM if any of these interest you.
Magic 80%
Magic is common.
Technology 20%
Iron age
Combat 50%
Combat is expected as part of the storyline but it won't dominate the plot.

Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.

I love Skyrim but most of my avatars are named-after my own characters like Nickolas Ward (AKA Nightward)
So I created Arraan and Deejia, the children of the (my) last dragonborn.

I'm not sure where Roy came from, but Lizalfos was named after a Zelda enemy.

Did any of the plots catch your eye?
I think the Stormcloaks winning seems cooler so I would like to go with the "unlikely duo" plot
And do I have to stick with one character or can I use both?

Shoot me a PM and we'll discuss it further.

Also, this is still open for other players!

I'm still looking for others.
Hey, I'd be willing to work with you on the Vampire Menace plot with Lizalfos. It sounds like it could be a lot of fun! My character Ghaurug gro-Khazgur is an Orcish vampire, and while he is pretty much a bad guy, he'd like to see more acceptance for vampires in society because that would make his (un)life a lot easier. What I have in his bio is only up to the mid-Second Era, but in his "canon" timeline he does survive up until Skyrim's time, and I do have backstory written for him up through that point.
