another. Except mirocu because he doesn't roleplay lol

Thatīs only because I suck at it :P
We have a thread at chorrol where we can have conversations
between Fallout characters in a bar. Is that something we can do
here? If so, I think Lothran will accept :)

No character sheet for Lothran?
Anyway, here's mine. This notion's been building for a while,
and got a spin off a character in a trilogy I just finished
reading...
Name: Caliban
Gender:Male
Sexual Orientation:Hetero
Race:Altmer
Gear (weapons, potions, etc):Elven longsword enchanted with
shock damage. Elven shortsword enchanted with absorb magicka.
Grand Ring of Aegis. Carries a handful of potions of dispel, and
half a dozen vials of poison. Wears a silver circlet enchanted
with fortify magicka.
Supplies (Clothing, foodstuffs, etc): Carries a selection of
high quality clothing, all with minor enchantments; resist the
elements(as in weather) and stain resistance. Has a fair amount
of gold and gems in a pouch on a chain around his neck.
General demeanor: Opportunistic, unpredictable, refined, erudite
and elegant. Known to be something of a rake/rogue.
Backstory:Born in High Rock, he spent over a century ducking on
and out of the ongoing. political powerplays. Trained as a
Nightblade he carved out a reputation, but tired of playing
games in which he had no real stake. So he struck out on his own
and came to Cyrodiil, heading for Kvatch. Skilled with blades,
stealth, and all schools of magic except conjuration.
Appearance: Aristocratic. Still looks young, despite being over
150 years old. Emerald green eyes, light blond hair that goes
past his shoulders, pulled back into a rogue's knot. Always well
dressed. Longsword at his left hip, shortsword at his right.
I hope I've not gone over the top here, I'll hold off on posting
anything for the moment, just in case.

You're fine, mirocu. It's just something we can do that isn't
serious or time consuming.
And sweet, Callidus takes the first dive! I'll be making my
character sheet on Monday when I head to the library

I didnīt bother with a character sheet for Lothran because I
reckon everyone knew him already anyway :D

I take it Liz that you don't like the TES lore that says there
are no halfbreeds. Though I guess Bethesda only went with that
to avoid having to sort out all the possible halfbreeds in TES
games. And iirc there's no explanation in the lore to explain
why there aren't any.
*shrugs*

According to lore, the Grey Prince doesn't exist then.
(I forgot to add, that was said sarcastically in my head lol)

Well in the lore the child takes the race of their mother, as
the Gray Prince does. He is an Orc, but the fact his father was
a vampire means he picked up a few of those traits without
actually becoming a vampire. So he's still within the lore,
since he's not actually a halfbreed, even if he stretches it a
little.

He's still half Breton and half Orc though.

Orc/Imperial actually, but in the TES universe that makes him an
Orc with a few traits from his vampire Imperial father. He's
only really a half-Orc in terms of parentage. In his case the
traits carried down are more pronounced due to his father's
vampiric nature. Another thing to consider is the Bretons, still
humans, but with different traits brought on by generations of
interbreeding with Mer. Sure, Merish traits were passed down,
but they're still human, as opposed to being half-elves.
About the only thing in the lore that covers the subject though
is this

While it can be considered a little questionable due to its
classification of Orcs, it has been present in Morrowind,
Oblivion, Skyrim, and *shudders* TES Online.
But, all of this is pretty academic really.
