This roleplay is based on the Oblivion Xbox/PC game.

Oblivion is a fantasy game, with swords, magic, goblins etc etc. This roleplay is set after all the quests in the game have been completed: the gates to Oblivion have been shut ( ninja but not for long... ninja ninja ). In the meantime, there are monsters, creatures, bandits and all sorts of things for you to battle. You can work for the Thieves Guild, the Mages Guild, whatever you like. The Guildmasters for the various factions are already chosen (they aren't played by anyone in particular), and you may use them in your posts, to recieve orders etc. You can have a horse, a house, anything that you can have in the game, bar Imperial Dragon Armour or the Amulet of Kings etc

This referense site Click Here will tell you all about the game, and help with character creation.

RULES

Follow the Gaia rules

Fight realistically - this is based on the games but that doesn't mean your character can survive 5 arrows to the head or kill a Minotaur Lord with one shot

You may have more than one character

If you're playing an assassin, don't go killing anyone vital, or anyone else's character without permission

Your character cannot be an ultimate mage, an ultimate blade, and an ultimate hand to hand fighter, pick one to be really good at

Use existing items from the game, they can be enchanted, but there's no such thing as a levitation helmet and so on. For clothing, you may make up stuff, but keep it reasonable please

GUILDS AND GUILDMASTERS


This is a list of all the joinable factions in the roleplay. You may encounter the Guildmasters, but they are there for everyone to use. Click on the title links to find out more about each guild, as well as a list of members for each guild and the possible ranks. The questlines are there as well, and within reason, you may choose to do some of the lesser ones. Just not the final ones or the ones that involve killing guildmembers/drastic events.


The Mages Guild
Guildmaster: Archmage Traven (old fart, wears blue Archmage robes, has a grudge against necromancy)

This is for the spellcasters, obviously. The current allround purpose for the guild is to stamp out necromancy/necromancers whenever encountered. Vampires as well if you like, and to study magic...go figure


The Fighter's Guild
Guildmaster: Vilena Donton (Violent old lady)

They get contracts to fight stuff. Usually clearing monsters out of places people want to go or getting rid of something that's attacking someplace.


The Thieves Guild
Guildmaster: The Gray Fox (the new one who replaced Count Corvus, he's a human, and that's all you can really tell)

For those who wish to steal stuff...You take orders from the Doyens, S'Krivva and Armand Christophe, and from the Gray Fox. Don't kill anyone, and try not to get caught. Otherwise, have fun.


The Dark Brotherhood
Guildmaster: Ungolin

The assassin's guild, you get contracts to kill people. You can make up characters to kill as well. You may kill off any of the NPCs targeted by teh game's quests, just make sure you're not killing someone twice etc. Try not to target characters other people may want to use. The roleplay is set before the "Cleansing", so you'll take orders from Vincent and Ocheeva who serve the Night Mother through the Listener Ungolim and the four Speakers.

The Arena

Guildmaster(s): Owyn and Ysabel

Fight for sport and entertainment. The Grand Champion is the Gray Prince, and for the moment no one can fight him.


The Blades

Guildmaster: Jauffre

The bodyguards of the emperor...the empire's private spies...etc etc


MINOR GUILDS

Knights of the White Stallion - An order of knights in Leyawin
Order of the Virtuous Blood - vampire slayers galore
Knights of the Thorn - a group of rather useless knights led by Count Indarys' fop of a son
Mythic Dawn - remenants of the main baddies, they're evil...
The Blackwood Company - erm...like the Fighter's Guild, but evil and high on tree sap

A servant sitting in the laundry room of his master's house suddenly noticed that all was quite upstairs; something must be wrong. He rushed upstairs and found his master lying dead in the entrance hall, with a Katana sticking out of his chest. Next to him was a young servant woman, curled up in a terrifed ball, whimpering.
"What... who..." the servant began, paralysed with shock.
"I heard a disturbance and came to see what was wrong. I just found him like this," sobbed the woman.
"Who... who are you? I don't remember you..." the servant stammered.
The woman's eyes widened. "I'm Claudia... are you sure you don't remember me? I'm a servant, just like you..." She then went back to sobbing.
The servant felt pity for Claudia, and, kneeling down beside her, he pulled her into a hug. Claudia then kissed him fiercely on the lips. Because she was born under the sign of the Lover, this caused the servant to collapse and fall into her lap. She bared her fangs, sinking them into his neck and drinking some of his blood. Once she had satisfied her hunger for blood, she stood up, pulled her Katana out of the dead man's chest, pulled her hood over her head and headed out the door. She quietly shut it behind her, retrieved her torch and disappeared into the night. Her work for the Night Mother was done.

It was just another day in Cyrodiil. A house that stood alone from others near the palace, the champion of Cyrodiil's house. Koji watched the outside from the window as passerbyers waved and bowed down at him. A few people even blew him kisses. He waved like a princess and turned around to yawn. The sun was tooo hot. The air was too damp and Koji was tooo bored.

A few hours passed by and a random servant (The name might have been Geraldina) ran in. She was yelling loudly and had to be calmed down by louder yelling. After Koji got a very sort throat, he had her sitting down on a chair at his round table. (Much like the one from King Arthur cept... there wasn't any knights except Koji unless you count the butler.)

"What's wrong.. Geraldina?"
"My name is Geraldetta sir."
"Err.. whatever your name is."
"I consider my name very important sir."
"Fine. Geraldetta."
She promptly began yelling again. "A MAN!! A MAN FOUND DEAD!!!"
"SHUT UP!!!!" Koji's voice broke and he cleared his throat loudly.
"Would you like a strepsil?"
Koji punched her. Then he left his house to investigate the "dead man."

Grey was just in the act of easing herself out of the top of the chimney with a large quantity of jewellery stashed in her boots, when she just about fell out as shouting erupted beneath her. Something about a dead man and a bloke called Geraldinette...or something. She rolled over the roof top and dropped almost noiselessly into the well shadowed scrub behind the house. Thieving during the day was perhaps...a little reckless, but so much more fun. There was a faint creaking sound and she turned to see a slightly wonky sign reading: This be the fair dweling of our mosted ador-ed Champy of Cyrodit

She read it a few times, frowning. There was something not quite right about the spelling...then it clicked...she had just emptied one coffer, four jewellery boxes and what she presumed was supposed to be a private stash, from the house of the most famous person...She shook her head, grinning, and scarpered.

Koji looked down at the dead man and frowned. This was no work of a small time bandit, it was the work of an assasin for sure. And probably of the dark brotherhood. He would have to check it up with them when he got to the grand ol'e meeting that night. He looked down the corridor and noticed another corpse. This time of a lowly servant. He looked closely and sniffled a bit. 'Vampires, could they get any filthier?' He muttered. And by the looks of it poisoned as well. Someone born under the lover. He muttered to himself a bit about subtlety and then got up. There was nothing much to do about it but find out who did this and have the dark brotherhood hide whoever it was from Koji for a long time. Then, with no blood split, the people of Cyrodiil would be.. err.. safe again.

As he walked in the direction of his home, it occured to Koji that maybe being a champion and part of the dark brotherhood hadn't been his greatest achievement. He sighed, what could he do?

Claudia opened the door to her room inside the headquaters of the Dark Brotherhood and, once inside, she took off her bloody robes, put on some new ones and lay down on her bed. She thought she deserved a small nap after all of the work she had done. She licked a little blood that had dribbled down her chin, savouring the taste. She always said that men's blood tasted the best. Then, smiling evilly to herself, she fell asleep.

The day passed with a few hundred maids complaining about things being stolen out of his house. Koji shrugged, nothing around THAT house was of value. All that he really needed he kept in a very special compartment in the dark brotherhood that he knew was completely safe. As night began to fall he readied himself. He had to pretend to fall asleep and slip out the back leaving a... scarecrow behind. Something to that effect anyway. Then he would have to make his way to the dark brotherhood's headquarters. Now that was the tricky bit. Sighting, he lay down, pretending to fall asleep.

As the hours passed and the people of the house finally decided to go to sleep, Koji got up, ready for the day.. night. He slipped out the back, nearly tripping on the not so well made stairs and finally got out. From there he made his way to the brotherhood, using his stealthy skills on rooftops. He finally made it and got inside, greeting everyone with an indifference and keeping an eye out for vampires.

Claudia was already sitting down when Koji entered the room. She sat far away from the others, her long blonde hair hiding most of her pale face. She looked down at her hands and examined her long nails, a vacant look in her blue eyes.

((Oblivion vampires have red eyes))
((Oblivion money system I've just made up on the spot - 5 bronzes to a silver, 20 silvers to a gold piece, any problems?))

"600 bronze."
"250."
"Dreaming, I'll take 550."
"I could go as high as 300..."
"After all the work I did to earn this?" Grey asked indignantly. The store owner needn't know, but the work she was referring to was the picking of 12 locks and considerable sneaking.
"It's just a ring," came the unrepentant response.
"Ahah, it may seem that way but," Grey lowered her voice for dramatic effect.
"Not just any ring, this ring is enchanted to render the wearer more handsome than an elf." The stall owner looked a bit dubious.
"Well let me try it out then..." he said reluctantly. Right on cue the prebribed maid stopped in her tracks.
"Excuse me Sir," she said, blushing as she scuttled past. Before turning the corner, she snuck a quick glance back at the vender - on seeing him staring back she flushed again and hurried off. Grey waited patiently, trying not to laugh. The vender looked after the maid, and thoughtfully ran his fingers around the ring.
"I'll take it for 520," he said eventually, emptying a number of gold coins from his purse. She smiled graciously and sauntered out of the marketplace. The ring probably was enchanted, but any mage would be able to tell the real spell on it. As she stepped around the corner she snagged a bronze piece from the air as another elf fell into step beside her. Long black hair flowing elegantly, he tucked his coin purse back into his belt and shrugged, looking slightly agrieved.
"Told you I could get at least 500 for it," she said modestly.
"You were lucky, here comes the watch now," Tachii replied.
"Shall we?" Grey said, gesturing at the manhole half covered by a garden.
"Why do your escape routes always involve sewers?" he grumbled as they climbed down. Grey grinned, 34 gold pieces richer, with the Imperial Watch none the wiser.

Koji sat down at the table as people gestured to him frantically to drink with them. He didn't quite understand why but the fact he was the champion of cyrodiil and still aligned with this lot made him.. attractive?, to them. Sipping the drink slowly he peered at the other occupants of the table. Most of them were happily drunk, a few dark looking ones but none of them had that mad twinge in their eye that most vampires did have. He got up and left, feeling a little dissapointed, though he knew he would have to search more than a table he had wished he would find them soon. Staring around he noticed one. A female that was looking vacantly down at her hands. It was her. It had to be.

((I know they do, but at the moment she's at that point where she's looking like herself before she was turned. Or have I got myself all confuzled? Oh well.))

Claudia noticed Koji looking at her.
"What are you looking at?" she snapped.
