Greetings all!

Now that the RP threads are open again, I would like to offer anyone who wishes to have their Roleplaying skills assessed by myself, using some of the scenarios that I was readying for the official assessment.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL ASSESSMENTS AS DISCUSSED IN THE RPG FORUM

How would this be done?
  • Put down your name here, and the type of character you like to run
  • I will contact you via IM (if you have one) or PM as to what the scenarios entail
  • We will go through several scenarios with me as the GM, and you as a player
  • When done, I will give you a written assessment, based on the responses to the scenarios, noting strengths and things that might need improving
Is this a real test?
No - there is no passing or failing, just an assessment of how you react to certain situations, your style of play, what kinds of campaigns/games you might be best suited for, and tips on how to work well with others.

When will it begin?

As soon as I get the first people to sign up on this thread, I will start to contact them.

What about the results? I don't want everyone to know what you rate me like.
i will send you the results via PM or e-mail. No one but you and I will know the results.

What if they decide to go forward with the tests at a later date, will this count?
We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.

Why do you think you have the experience to do this?

I have been a GM for 30 years, and a player for just as long. During my tenure, I have run over 500 different players through sections of my world. I am also a student of people, and have seen many varying styles of play. I have played with over a hundred different people, and I have watched what works and what doesn't while roleplaying. I would love to pass on some of the experience that I have with RPing to any who wish to receive it.

If you have any questions, or are unsure about anything, please feel free to PM me or e-mail me, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks

Name... well.. its, right there.....

Character type: Archer human

IM: Wesay12
ArtKing1239
Character Name: It depends. I think I'll run Ural.

Character Type: Celtic Warlord of the Old School. Fights, knows some basic magic, and makes/repairs his own weapons and armor. He's not formally educated, but comes across as fairly wise, if a little rough around the edges.
Adrian Laguna
This is a Morrowind Character

Name:
Macbeth

Gender:
Male

Race (Custom):
Imperial, descendant of an Akaviri General and several Akaviri-Human hybrids.
(Essentially a stock Imperial but with the ability "Adrenaline Rush" instead of "Star of the West" and "Voice of the Emperor")

Physical Appearance:
Looks like the guy at the right, but with bright green eyes and golden hair. The sharply angled face, golden hair, and green eyes are telltale signs of his Akaviri ascendants.

Brief Biography:
The son of a rich merchant based in Cyrodiil. It has been a long-standing tradition in his family for the young men of the family to learn about the world by either joining the Imperal Army or going adventuring by themselves (young women may also do this, but they don't have to, unlike the young men). They may take over the business upon their return around the age of 30. So my character set out at the of 18 to see the world as an adventurer.

Personality:
His motto is "I'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hack'd." The motto suggests a hot temper, but instead it refers to an incredible stubbornness and refusal to give up until the end. His temper on the other hand, resembles a large tabular iceberg (not even a nuclear bomb can melt a large tabular iceberg completely).

Level:
The GM can decide

Favorite Attributes:
Strength
Willpower

Major Skills:
Long Blade
Medium Armor
Block
Destruction
Security

Minor Skills:
Mercantile
Speechcraft
Athletics
Acrobatics
Armorer

Born under the sign of:
The Lady

Inventory:
Akaviri Medium Armor (same stats as Indoril Armor)
Akaviri Katana (same stats as a Daedric Katana, it is possible to get one at Lvl 1)
Akaviri Shield (same stats as Indoril Shield)
Gold (amount determined by GM if relevant)
Assortment of various potions (type and quantity determined by GM)

Spells:
Assorted Destruction Spells (determined by GM depending on Level)
Possibly other spells

Second of all, if you are still giving out these tests, hook me up. Got my char down yonder.
QUOTE

Name: Argos Nevalantti

Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: Mid to Elder 30's

Profession: Mercinary (previously enlisted in a/the/whatever army)

Favored Weapon: Polearms

History Highlights: Argos grew up with battle. When he was a boy, it was all he knew living on the streets. Not that he had too. His father was a wealthy merchant, and provided well for the two of them (his mother 'supposedly' died during his birth).

Sadly, like all business men of the time, his father was often away, and Argos had only the rare opportunity to see him. So, he decided that he preferred the fresh air of the outside to the stuffy, cramped living space in doors.

There was a slight problem though, many of the local boys didn't hold favor with him. And he succeeded many times in making more foes then freinds for himself. This put him at a disadvantage, as many of the older boys taveled in gangs while Argos travelled alone. Even as a boy, Argos knew the value of a well faught battle. And he knew how to take down boys many times his size.

It was like this then, that he became accustomed to polearms. They had excelent reach and kept him out of the way of the other boys' blades. Time after time, he found that a good staff was a better choice then the sharpest sword.

Another thing put Argos at a disadvantage however. Being a merchant, his father often moved around. So, as they passed from city to city, Argos frequently found himself in unfammiliar territory. Quite a bother, considering that many of the other boys knew their turf well, and often caught poor Argos in a bloody ambush.

Thus, Argos decided to figure out ways of memorizing the layout of an area realativly quickly. It saved him the trouble of many a cut by reducing the number of ambushes he was caught in. Later, it began to save his life.

When he was old enough (based on the laws of where he was living) Argos decided to join the army. He quickly found, though, that he rather detested being a rank and file soldier. And when opportunity arose he opted to become a scout.

For close to a decade, Argos served in the army. Dealing death to many a foe. He discovered that the things he learned as a boy helped him greatly in combat. Polearms were still highly effective, and while the heavier weapons like haleberds were slow to weild, they offered considerable punch in return, often cleaving groups of enemies in two with a single sweep.

Eventually, Argos was forced to retire. A sad tale though, as combat was the only thing he had ever known. After being removed from enlisted duty, Argos set out as a mercinary, continuing(sp?) to fight where he was needed. In the end, he discovered happiness in a small vale town, and started a life. Now, while he still works as a mercinary and law enforcer, he is a hero within his small community.

Discription: Argos is a burly fellow, rather big and he holds a very commanding presence. While he is generaly fearsome looking, he is kind hearted and slow tempered. One thing that does anger him quickly, however, is when someone else is being excessivly rude or obnoxious. Especially to women and children. The people of his community see him as a great protector and Warhero.

He has peircing green eyes and white-flecked brown hair which covers his head like a thick mop. His facial expression is often flat and emotionless, but he often smiles. He loves good drink and good company.


Starting Equipment: Preferably some type of polearm. Perhaps some armor. But I leave it to the DM to decide. This is a 'test' after all.



Notes: I pride myself in the fact that my characters are spontaneously genorated. I came up with all that on the spot. Meh, if you don't think it looks like much, thats your opinion. But where I come from I am the best, and it feels good. biggrin.gif

I know I'm not the best out there, but I always make a point of putting my greatest effort into my RP.

I'm looking forward to this test, but if you're not running it anymore I understand. And by the way, Kethruch, those are some BAD ASS credentials.

Ever think about applying as a writer for memod? I'm an art department guy, but its easy to see that your imagination is wilder than most. Well, its up to you, if you enjoy writing, you'll definetely improve through the deveopement of memod by gaining more experience in the field.

This character would be like a paladen, except focusing more on fighting and using magic to improve fighting, thanks
Lestat De'vire
Name: Dante Lestat De'vire,
Race: Dunmer,
Class: assasin (perhaps morag tong? you decide)

History Ideas: Dante's the bastard child of a Great house Matriarch and a lowly ashlander, his mother abandoned both he and his father when she ascended in rank. knowledge of his existance would bring shame and scandal into the great house councils thus she arranged the quick execution of these potential embarrasments, dante returns home from his hunting trip one day and finds his fathers yurt in flames, the scorched corpse of his father and his best friend (invent a suitable name) only recognisable by the silver medalions around their neck. after giving them an honourable buriel dante swears revenge on those reponsible, hey look tracks leading southwards lets follow them. After several months of travel the trail leads young dante to Vivec, here he keeps to the shadows lieading the life of a gutter thief whilst tring to learn more of his father's killers, until one day he picks the wrong pocket. The stranger should have killed him outright but was bemused that one so young and inexperianced was able to sneak up on him. Sensing potential in the boy the old assasin offered him a an aprenticeship, dante accepted and was inducted into the order. It has been several years, Dante is older, wiser, and deadly, stalking his targets across the realms with his fathers wolf amulet around his neck and his silver shortsword Kanderass at his belt he stands before Matriarch Magdalen of great house (you decide) presenting his completed writ he knows it will not be long before he earns her full trust and learns the identities of his father's killers. Meanwhile an all knowing Magdalen gazes at the young dunmer kneeling before her she could almost admit a mothers pride that her son has grown into such an effective assasin. she bites it back and hands him another writ, smiling, perhaps the next target will kill him?

this character would have a range of skills both what he learned from the order and from his time as an ashlands hunter. kick around and test me yes?
Silvermistshadow
Name: Silvermist
Type of charecter: I play usually in a science fiction/fantasy setting. The race of my charecter has lots of technology, but also some magic, although it is restricted. He is a ranged fighter, usually with a bow(Guns aren't affective against the main enemy in his story), and uses his wind magic to increase the arrow's speed. He is powerful, but does not go into combat alone unless he has to, usually this is so he can attack from his preferred distance.
Biocontrol
Name: Xenin.
Type: Elf Assassin in Fantasy, some type of alien assassin in SciFi.

Please contact me over AIM or MSN, I'm on them more often than Nexus.

I hope I am not late for participating on this.



Name: Arnigniel

Race: Demon

Age: unknown

Battle style: Battlemage supported with powers that I collected while serving Lord Molag Bal.

History: Once upon the time Daedirc lord Molag Bal was in war and he needed army to fight for him. He created Demons. We wined war but cost was great. Many of us died in battle. But even after that war we have to battle. One part of army organized revolution against Molag Bal, and we, other part of army haved to protect our Lord against those betrayers. After that Molag Ball seen that even he can`t control Demons. But we, litle group of Demons served him well and he didn`t killed us. We continiued training. We trained melee combait with swords and destruction maginc of element of fire. We trainded so for years or even more, but one day oru Lord sended us to other relam to we learn how surivive. But there where we went people weren`t holtile to us. They accepted us as we are same race as them. There in secret one of them learned me how can I use magic to seal souls. But one day they changed, they haved new ruler and he gived order to kill us. First 2 of us was killed but they warned us so we have time to escape. We retuirned to Molag Bal`s relam, there we trained to lead waragains those who killed 2 of us before. But before war we haved to do one final task for our Lord Molag Bal. He wanted us to get work of one Lich. And so 4 of us, Demons who survived started one final task before going to war. We entered first chamber in Lich`s lair, and there happened someting we never thinked it will. We maked few steps in and Vampires attacked us. So we are outnumbered, but we haved skills in battle so we defighted them without any of us be seriously hurted. We thinked he used them only in first chamber. We were heading to last chamber, and all is goinig too god to be reality. We seen him and he is preforming ritual that is bounding his soul to magic stone. He was protected with 4 Vampires, we thinked they are strong as group we meeted before. We were wrong. I getted they`r attention while other 3 Demons sorounded Lich and attacked him from all sides. He was killed ,but his soul is not, it`s bounded to magic stone. In meantime I was defending against those 4 Vampires, I getted my arm hurted adn they are about finish me. But they saw that Lich needs help and 3 of them headed that way, one stayed to be shure I will not escape. My firends, 3 Demons shoted firebals on vampire that stayed with me, he was buirned and he died. But now they were opened for attack of 3 Vampires that is heading to them. Vampires hoped they will be able to make my friends Vampires too. They tryed to bite my friends, 2 succesfilly bited my friends and they both burned to ashes, but one my friend tryed to strike back,and he wasn`t bitten but cutted on peaces. Now in room there are only me and one Vampire. We haved little talk. He sayed "You see I am not like other Vampires you meet here, I am ancient Vampire and I will not buirn if I bite you." I thinked this is my end. And we started battle. He attacked with magic sword and I am defending with my shortsword. I was looking for right time to land my counterattack on him. an dI geted it, my attack is succesfully landed in hearth. And as soon as I getted my sword out of him his wound was cured. And he sayed "Amazing gift wasn`t it ?" I didn`t sayed anything but just concentarating on battle. So we battled for hours, he didn`t showing any signs onf getting tierd, not even little , he attacked even stronger that on begining of battle. He bited me in my neck. Then I getted idea how defight it. I taked my demonic sign amulet and stabbed in him. I used sealing magic to seal his soul to my amulet. And as soon as I casted spell his lifeless body falled on ground. I took sword that Vampire used. and stone with Lich`s soul bounded and sealed it so he can`t revive. And I retuirned to my Lord Molag Bal. When I retuirned to his palace I am going to give him Lich`s soul. But before I gived it to him he sayed: " I see you defighted my new army that is loyal and will remain that way until they die. That is warriors like Demons was one time, but they are superior among my warriors and that will stay that way." I svinged sword I haved and stabbed him. He smiled on my and sayed: "You realy think you can kill daedric lord with that move ? " I answered "It is not finished ,jet" And I sealed his energy in sword, his soul is to strong to be sealed in anything I have. He sayed: "What did you do ?" I answer: "I just sealed your energy in my sword so you will not be strong as you was. Now you have only enough energy to your relam do not break and colapse in waters of Oblivion and be normal Human."
I leaved his relam and I hided in relam known as Tamriel. If I realise all powers what I have sealed in my stuff I will destroy myself relam where I am and fef relams that is near that in what I am, so most time I use only my demonic powers. This is my backstory.

Discription: My character is Demon. He have red skin, who horns on his head his hair is long and collor of his hair is cooper. He have muscles sho he can swing his swhor with one hand, but he prefer doing that with 2 hands because it is easyer to do with two hands.
