[Morning Coffee] The Black Horse Courier - Prolific Edition

Winchester1306

*Shambles into the tavern and flops down on an available chair. Waves hand to get the attention of the innkeeper for some coffee.*

Good Morning Everyone!

So, worked 14 hours yesterday (had stocktake last night), had 5 hours of sleep and now I am back at work for another 12 hour shift.

After a few days' discussion on the Morning Coffee threads, we have seen a fee regular faces pop up. So, let's take a moment today to introduce ourselves and/or our characters - a short biography if you'd like. Pictures or references are also welcomed! (I will write mine up in a bit when work quietens down.)

*Grabs hold of coffee mug with both hands and begins to drink eagerly*

Good morning, today I did have coffee!

As far as introducing myself, I'm from Denmark and my day job, for the next 6 days before I start to study for schoolteacher, is as a real estate agent. It's not really morning here, but let's just call it morning coffee

"And then there's Dastan Kingfrey, my gentleman thief, he's born poor and wrestled with the law as youngling. When the heat got to much in his hometown Leyawin, he set out to find his estranged father. He never met his father, but did meet a partner when he set foot in Wayrest outlaws den. A high elven acrobatic thief named Quen, and the rest, as they say, is history. "

This is Dastans ultra short biography, it's way longer than I'd care to admit I will post a picture of him later.

Now, back to work

Khajitt peers in. This one tries to keep a low profile as otherwise random people come visiting asking why this one is sipping coffee out of their prized mug. Mainly enjoys exploring the lands and seeing what has been left lying around. Fishing is done when the local town folk mutter to much about lost items.

Its human looks after red tape and tries to help people get untangled from it. Peers out window at the overcast sky and guesses more rain on the way. Does lead to less playing in the evenings as game has to compete with a warm bed and for a Khajiit that is no debate.

Hope all have sufficient beverage for the day and have a fun time.

@katiesmith12341 Thank you for remembering to upload! I will admit that the text is a little hard to read, but I appreciate the effort! If you do find time, cleared pictures will greatly be appreciated

@kenneth.friisb16_ESO Glad to see you finally on the coffee train! Even his abbreviated biography was interesting to read - he sounds like a really interesting and 'cool' character! What race is he if I may ask?

@trav2609rwb17_ESO Hehe I love Khajiiti-talk and you do it so well! I can imagine that roleplaying a Khajiit must be a super fun thing to do. As long as that is not my prized mug that is sneakily being sipped out of! Personally my favourite race is Breton and then Altmer.

Good Morning!

Well I have been up since 04:00 as I was joining the Bleakers AP far a little before work (I am a bad person now, RIP morals).

My main character is Tarvynus Vedralu, a Dunmer Nightblade.
When I made him I didn't really have any background in mind, I just wanted a slow paced completionist character (he was my alt at the time), however as friends fled the game he moved over to being my main.
I kind of just power gamed him through the game never taking RP choices in the story as I wanted a strong character.

This year when I returned to the game I decided to play him as a character who wants to attain nobility and recognition (power) through any means necessary.
I also created a new character which is his twin sister, a Dunmer Socerer named Terynus Vedralu.

This is a picture of the siblings.

Derzelas

Good evening, today no coffee but a juice seems to be fit better with the meal in the night.

My profession is that of a Sales Assistant with the desire to become a carer. Living in Australia it was extremely hot until it cooled down for the past few days (it is now summer here currently)

I am an Argonian named Derzelas who is bound by the teachings of Stendarr to demonstrate peace among the community. The main mission is to walk on a journey through the lands of Tamriel to heal those in need and bless the lands with so much fish that people can be fed for months. Although not really a pilgrimage of massive endeavours, my primary focused on trying out new fish to fill one's needs. Moral is: I love fish.

Now time to continue my journey to find an Adobe. Hopefully one that is near a swamp. Truthfully always loved the argonian and have had chosen the race since TES III Morrowwind came to Xbox.

@Winchester1306

He is an imperial, mostly because that is my go to class

I'm currently writing a fan-fic origin story about his time in Leyawin, mostly for myself but my friend talked me in to putting it up on the net, when it's done

Chill here, now semi-retired, last job was teaching English in Poland. I now potter about the house and garden, brew great coffee and enjoy cycling both far and wide.

I got into TESO via some of my students during a discussion about gaming and an MMO many of them were playing at the time, (first letter, first word in title a W, first letter last word in title, also W!) During the discussion with them I disclosed I'd played a game called Skyrim, one of the students suggested I take a look at TESO which was on Beta. During a rare quiet weekend, I got around to doing that and was stunned with complexity and beauty of TESO. I've been here ever since.

No experience of PC gaming per se, but on console, yes, being seriously in love with Skyrim, which I stumbled into when my son 'gifted' me his old X-box and a variety of games which included Skyrim. (I say 'gifted', but when he later asked me for the 80 quid for the console, games, etc I still 'owed' him, I was obliged to pay up as I was utterly intrigued and 'hooked' with the Skyrim experience! Shrewd operator! Over time, I stopped playing Skyrim having completed the storyline multiple times and the many add-on expansion things you could get. A long gap of no gaming at all. I had no time to be honest.

So, here I am still enjoying my gaming experience with 12 characters, stories too complex to describe in any detail on 5 of them, the rest I've not thought about who, where, why...etc..etc. All are DC, but I have each race, and all classes.

I'm currently playing a great deal of time on Folnie, (my second oldest character) a Dunmer nightblade. (Why she chooses to fight under a blue banner is a long story, but there we go)

My gameplay is chaotic, and due to some real life issues which I won't bore you with, I need to take a lot of breaks, and sadly developed a colour perception issue which makes some elements of the game very difficult, not impossible, but just difficult. All colour is beautiful, please never take what you can see for granted people, no matter what it is.

I don't wish to take up too much time, but anyone would like more information about me, just ask!

Best Wishes. Have a great game today.

Chill.

will post in a bit - just putting this so i dont forget

ZunaRoath

Don't want to be late, but I am, kiiinda! Still ~30 minutes until today's day is over, so... here I come..!

I'm from Spain. Currently student of videogame design, but I consider myself a CGI Artist, mostly oriented to asset design for videogames. Always loved TES, and is the reason why I'm here. I've done mods for many Bethesda games, including Skyrim (SE too), and Fallout 4, I love making mods =D Been doing them for the past 9-10 years.

I currently do a bit of all in ESO, mostly inclined to RP and PvP, even though I started PvPing before all. My characters always surround the same story, even though they might be from different families:

Zuna Roath (or now Zuna Ice-Bear) was my main, she is a Nord Pact Legate who has dedicated all her life to the military in Skyrim. Her main objective is protect Skyrim and its people, and I imagine she'll most likely die doing so. Her father is Throdar Ice-Bear, he has a complex story, after fighting the Akaviri, he was thought dead, but instead he was forced to leave Skyrim and change his name, now he is back, and only wants to help Zuna. Zuna's story... is kinda the pillar of the other character's stories.

Hjalmar War-Shield is my actual main now, because I enjoy playing him more. He's a Nord, was a Pact Sergeant, but he recently left the Pact temporary to help someone he cares about. His main objective is make sure his family is fine, mostly his little sister. He is the kind of Nord who spends his life in the wilderness, hunting and learning from it, living it.

Hronvir Winter-Wind is some alt I made to RP with a friend in Wayrest. He is a Lamp Knight from the Mages Guild, though recently he lost his left arm, and has decided to become a priest of Kyne. Haven't done much else with him.


Their stories become a same one by their interactions, Hjalmar had being a Sergeant under Zuna's command, and him having helped her on so many things, as well her helping him, in the past and in the present. Hronvir's story along with Hjalmar's, both having fought in the same squad against the Akaviri. And Throdar basically being Zuna's father.

I know my reply is quite late as the OP, but here it is anyway! Decided I need to reply to this one before I can get today's up.

Loved reading everyone's profiles and introductions. All your characters have a lot of depth and layers to them, even for some people who do not consider themselves RP'ers - which is something I really love about the immersion Elder Scrolls offers, it encourages Roleplay in one way or another at different levels. I would call that a trait of a good RPG.

My name is Gordon and I am from South Africa. I am in my mid-twenties and I am the assistant manager for an technology retail store here. Although I do not get much time for hobbies apart from work and catching up with online things, when I do get the chance I enjoy reading, writing and sketching/drawing. I do need several cups of coffee a day to function

My main at the moment is Araeth Elsinaine, an Altmer Sorceress. She is descendent from a noble family, but the life of leisure and luxury is not for her. Yearning for adventure and the thrill of feeling alive that one cannot experience confined to the comforts of your mansion. So one day she abandoned the life that has come to oppress her and ran away from home. Despite being a little bit spoilt and snobbish, she gets a thrill from stealing high value coveted items from collector's and ancient ruins and then selling them on the black market to the highest bidder.

My main-to-be once Morrowind launches it Arden LeBrante, a Breton Warden/Druid. He will be dual wielding daggers and a bear companion who practices nature magic to ensure healthy crop growths (like a harvest witch almost) - he lives to preserve balance, making him a morally grey character. But he will also have a restoration staff as his secondary weapon to heal and buff his allies. He has been bitten by a werewolf, but only unleashes this side when the need for it is great enough. But, knowing his potential danger to society when he does lose control has caused him to isolate himself relatively and live in secluded areas outside of major towns and cities. He does not mind lending his unique talents to steal from the corrupt, or assassinating those who pose a threat to society - so he will be a part of the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood. An anti-hero of sorts.

Here is a link to a concept board I have made for him on Pinterest: http://pin.it/qHTkYJo
And screenshots of his outfit and mount that I have planned so far in-game: http://imgur.com/a/8KMgT

Awesome story Winchester, especially you future Druid/Warden. Kinda like the whole True Neutral thing you've got going
