Towerfall.

It is the year 4E 235. Nearly three decades has passed since the Dragon Cult Crisis, where the Second Dragon Cult threatened to take over Tamriel.

What seemed to be an era of peace was to be disturbed once more, as a new threat emerges from the shadows after a millennia of hiding... and concerns the fate of the known world itself...

"Some things simply never change..." - Unknown

________________________________________________________________________

Rules:

1. You are not Dragonborn or any of the TES protagonists. Make characters who will contribute to the story. The Dragonborn is the Emperor of Tamriel, the Hero of Kvatch is Sheogorath and the Agent of Daggerfall and Eternal Champion are dead.

2: One of your characters of your choosing is protected from death. He/She can only be killed if you allow it. Wounds may be inflicted, but they can always be healed. (Meaning you cannot cut off a part of someone's body unless they agree, barring the exception where they can regrow body parts.)

3. You can have special powers and special spells as listed on the character card These powers are of your own making and unique to you. They CANNOT be too powerful to the point that it will kill a character in an instant or be a god that is capable of destroying anything that stood in his/her path. ALL Blink-like spells have a 5-second cooldown and cost 20% of the user's max magicka.

4. You must have some sort of severe weakness, or a few of them, actually. You also must be at least vulnerable to attacks. All characters should be well-balanced.

5. You can not be any of the following...

Divine Daedric Prince Any over-powered super races. Modded races (Without consent, please submit your modded races' character card and I'll approve it or disapprove it. Half-Breeds don't count as modded races and can be used at will.) Dragons (Dragons are too large and are impossible to fit into a story that isn't solely about dragons.) Dragonborn (At best it would be an underwhelming character trait and at worst, it would be overpowered, that and the Last Dragonborn is ruling Tamriel!) 6. You cannot be overpowered: By this I mean…

No avoiding damage or ignoring it: You take hits, just like you dish them out. You may block or dodge attacks. Depending on the skills of the combatants, some attacks will hit, so have some discretion about such. No ridiculously over-powered super-spells or weapons Anything that allows you to destroy powerful enemies in one hit or gives you a majorly unfair advantage over other players and NPCs will be considered over-powered. This will be considered powerplay. You cannot destroy a building in one post unless it's really, really small: Depending on the building’s size; you must destroy it over the course of several posts. The only exception is during Flashbacks, dream sequences or during written plot pieces (over the course of a paragraph or two). ‘Fridge Magic’ is also considered a form of overpoweredness. Fridge Magic is spontaneous luck, which allows the player to avoid damage or consequence for their actions. It can be done accidentally, so it’s not treated as harshly, but please undo it if multiple people call you out on it or if the GM calls you out on it. 7. When attacking another character he must be allowed to retaliate 2 times, the 3rd time it will always hit unless it is lethal. The character can be incapacitated but not killed unless the character's creator accepts. (Does not apply to minor characters, story-essential characters or NPC's.)

8. You can not be overpowered nor powerplay under any circumstances.

9. The lore can NOT be altered, without a GM's permission.

10. You can only control your own character unless stated otherwise by the original creator of the character...

11. NO Dovah characters... Don't even ask...

12. DO NOT force other people's characters to do something. This is a form of powerplaying.

13: Do not imprison characters unless they agree. This is considered powerplay.

14: Characters must be approved by the GM before they can be used.

15: The thu'um is allowed but only 1 word of power. Thu'um consumes a slot for Spells and/or Abilities. If a character will have Thu'um, ask for permission first. Storm call, Marked for Death and Soul Tear are not allowed as they are considered overpowered.

16. You can have Flashbacks: Unless you have arrangements with another player, you cannot interact with another player’s characters in a flashback, you can with NPCs and your own characters. You can also write dream sequences: In a dream, most rules do not apply but only, because dreams have no bearing on the plot or actual world. Anything that happened in the dream stays in the dream; therefore dreams should only be kept to one or two post.

17. METAgaming shall never be tolerated under any circumstances whatsoever... META is when you break a rule but continue playing, ignoring rules to make you more powerful than everyone else, or having your character know things that he or she is not meant to know. A METAgamer's post shall always be deleted immediately. Appropriate actions might be taken at the GM's discretions. And again, no, you cannot pull a Divine or a Daedric Prince out of your pocket to destroy an army, town, or a province. This rule also applies to NPCs. If an Aedra or Daedric Prince is vital to a character's story, they must be approved by the GM first.

18: Do not fool around. Do not have your character fooling around for no particular reason, even if they are written as idiotic, jesters or jokers.

19: You cannot change major plot points without a GM's permission. Talk to us if you want to have anything changed.

20: Give players some time to react to posts. 21: Powerplaying is strictly not tolerated. An example of powerplaying is User A attacking and destroying User B without letting the latter react/retaliate in any way, or putting the latter into a situation with no other course of action. A user persistently breaking this rule will have his/her offending characters eliminated by random all-powerful entities without prior notice.

22. Powers might be removed from a character via depowering if used unfairly, especially for powerplaying. This is for the first offence. Spamming once a day powers is also considered as METAgaming and will not be tolerated.

23. TL;DR: Don't be an asshole.

Note: If you don't know what's going on, just ask for a recap.
