The Rise of The Dragonguard OOC and Singup thread #1

[Arnier the fallen]

In the year 205 of the Fourth Era, the Dragonborn of legend rose up to stop Alduin the world eater as the legend fortold. The Empire had won back Skyrim in a bloody conflict that lasted many years, however the victory was not decisive and there are still remnants of the rebellion. These have taken up the spirit of Ulfric’s cause.

On the coat tails of the Dragonborn’s rise to power, and during the Dragonborn’s leave for the island of Solstheim, the blades have began to reform however these are not the Blades of old. One group has decided enough is enough.

if you're interested post a character sheet here actual RP will be starting tomorrow.

In this the Empire have won but there are some rebel groups. In other words, Ulfric is dead. We COULD slightly alter it depending on what Arnier thinks.

We have decided that since it goes against our planned backstory you will have to change your character.
If you wish to stick to the Ulfric theme maybe you could be his bastard son, and lead a rebel remnant.

[Vulgruff]

Yeah, i meant to say the Stormcloak Sigil is painted over by the way.

[Sovngarde]

sorry been busy for awhile will post soon

[The Rebel]

Question to you guys: Why is everyone at the Winking Skeever?

You know you guys don't have to be there, you can continue where you started and do your own story arcs.

I half expected the two stormcloaks/ anti-imperials to team up and make their own story arc, etc.

[Sovngarde]

i was just trying to get into the story

[The Rebel]

i was just trying to get into the story

Page for polls and news regarding the RP

We'll have polls there regarding what happens in the RP and we'll post news and recaps on the RP there as well.

[Vulgruff]

Its habbit from D&D I guess

[Vulgruff]

EXTRA BACKSTORY:
(I have a lot of it, I've played this character in D&D before)

His father is a Blade that was killed after the Great War by Thalmor. That's when He knew for sure the Empire was dead. When young (about 16) he was in the forest when he encountered a bear. This spoke to him and offered him a gift. When he said okay, the Bear bit his arm and Vulgruff passed out. He has been a Werebear ever since. He rarely uses this "gift" and has never told anyone of it, thinking they will kill him on sight. In the week after Ulfric died, he approached an Empire camp at night, turned into his werebear state, and killed everyone in it. While many Stormcloaks ket on fighting after Ulfric's death, Vulgruff knew the war would never be won in traditional ways so he set out to find revenge on his own.

[james.steelhaven]

NAME: Jurgen the Stone-eyed, of Clan Free-Winter (pronounced: "yer-GEN")
RACE: Male Nord AGE: 43
REGION OF BIRTH: Windhelm (Brother of Brunwolf Free-Winter)

GROUP: Imperial Legions (MIA- Captured by the Thalmor before Battle of Red Ring, held for 15 years.)
SEGMENT IN GROUP: Centurion (Officer corps before MIA)
OCCUPATION: Imperial Centurion (MIA at the Battle of Red Ring, taken POW by Thalmor troops ), currently, mercenary going by the Imperial name "Jarrod".

WEAPON/MAGIC OF PREFERENCE: Greatsword or Sword -n- Board as the situation calls for it and Restoration magics
(Jurgen will use an appropriate weapon when the situation calls for it, however. Jurgen doesn't begrudge magic users any, unless Thalmor. Those die first.)

PERSONALITY: Jovial when the mood strikes him, He enjoys his freedom and lives life to its fullest. However, when on the battlefield, he is a gruff, no-nonsense military officer, a complete professional soldier, like the old days.
BODY: Built like the Throat of the World, a very strong and well developed, muscular warrior, honed by years of warfare.
SKIN: Fair skinned like most Nords, but scarred from many battles and Thalmor "interrogation" sessions.
HAIR: Black, long and stringy. Unlike most Imperial soldiers, Jurgen let his hair grow out until he can return to Skyrim.
EYES: Darkened, fierce brown eyes. Blinded in the right eye by Thalmor torturers, with a scar running forehead to jaw line over that eye. Worn with pride.
'Stone-eyed' moniker given by Ulfric during POW times. Jurgen has recently taken to dress it up with black and/or red war paint.

CLOTHING: Currently, just a set of traveling clothing and leather armors, built for a Skyrim winter. Weapons include iron sword and shield.
LIKES: Like most Nords,he enjoys strong drink, hot food, good weapons, warm beds, and warmer 'company' in those beds. He enjoys his freedom and lives life to its fullest.
DISLIKES: The Aldmeri Dominion (especially the Thalmor) as a whole (not high elves, however. Jurgen met many a high elf dissident while a POW and admired their defiance to their bitter ends), the White-Gold Treaty, Daedric worshipers (and by extension, the Daedra themselves). They are all crazy.

AMBITIONS: Reclaim Skyrim from the Thalmor (not so much the Empire, however. He IS Imperial Legion, after all) and any Daedric influences.
REASONS FOR AMBITIONS: Since his time fighting the Aldmeri forces then his rough treatment at the hands of the Thalmor, he wants to see them gone. If Hammerfell can force them out, then so can Skyrim. What Jurgen is not sure of, however, is if Skyrim can do it with out the Legions. That remains to be seen.

History:
Jurgen was born into the Free-Winter clan in Windhelm, in 4E, 162. It was frigid winter, even for Skyrim that year. He quickly became a skilled but young warrior, and when the Empire called the Nords to war, he followed his older brother Brunwulf into battle despite his youth. War, as it often does, makes a man out you fast. At the age of 13, and already taller then most Imperial soldiers, Jurgen's unit was attacked in the predawn hours of the Battle of the Red Ring and he fell, but was taken prisoner. At least he was in good company, along the side of future Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak, during his stay. He assisted in Ulfric's escape but was recaptured allowing Ulfric to get away (or so he was led to believe). He spent a good 15 years as a Thalmor captive, before finally escaping himself into the Cyrodillic lowlands.

He spent the next 5 years traveling under the guise of "Jarrod" as a sell sword until he was able to make his way back to Skyrim. He noticed there was a great sadness in the land, and he lived in Falkreath for years until the Dragon Crisis roused him from his life as a simple guard and the discovery that his father was still alive. However, the civil war and the dragons rampaging across the countryside curbed any chance of traveling to Windhelm, the land of his birth, so very, very, long ago.....

(edited to being the brother of Brunwulf Free-Winter, instead of son.)
