I tend to read cosy mysteries,  though  I will dive into media -tie in books  (star trek books  or the doctor who novels).    I did enjoy the hunger games  and I do enjoy  Rick Riordons books.  But I mainly stick to cosy mysteries.

feels like i should have more stuff on here , i removed a few but i probably shouldn't have.    I was thinking of bringing her to the draynar arc.  

I love this family   

I think the problem i have is that, i don't have a lot of stuff at the moment.   I am just trying to make  more visually easy for me.   I want to do the entrance with a fountain (some flowers etc)    I want to put a cafe somewhere (maybe near the beach)  a library.  I will have to check out the hot springs thing, i do have the one tub thing that looks like a spa. 

thank you @fltwoodsmonster

recently bought the game, i keep wanting to design my island but i keep getting stuck on what i want to do.  Anyone have any ideas,  has anyone done more  on their islands

@AndrasteKer   can you help me with this  I am looking at flame's numbers, but  I knwo I don't have her as old as flame   .   I also don't really want to totally copy flame either.    I just never been good at the number thing and figuring it out (probably why i don't have a lot of rp toons)

I just can't get motivated.  I would love the link @Annamika.   I have been trying to do more smoothies, and using it as  a meal suppliment.  I need ideas for  smoothies though.   I do try to walk in front  of the tv while watching something but that can get a bit boring.   

I want to be back at the weight I was at when I was in  my 20's /late teens  but healthier. 

congrats @Annamika for losing the weight.  I wish  I was  at it like you.   Hopefully 2021 will be better for me

I just honestly can't get motivated to do much really.  

Sounds good

This is all great!! I'm so excited about her, she's going to be a really fun character!

 

That could totally tie in to alchemy! This is a really cool idea. In lore, vampires that are turned as part of the ritual with Molag Bal are "supposed" to consider that a "blessing and a gift" rather than a curse. So having a deep knowledge of daedra would be helpful for someone researching the cure to vamparism, but it might not be likely for that researcher to work WITH daedra. After all, the daedra would either a) be opposed to helping because that would interfere with Molag Bal's actions, and risk his wrath, or b) be associated with Molag Bal and get angry that you rejected his "gift." Alchemy would absolutely be the best route to go down in researching a cure!

She would have no problem with working on/experimenting on daedra.   In her mind they represent all she hates about the disease.   But yeah i like the idea of she only works with alchemy.

The risk of being recognized could be taken as a flaw too, and something fun for the GM to know since CoH RPs have frequently involved the Mages Guild recently. 60 years might be long for humanoid races, but for mer it's likely there's still many members around that could remember her!

I like that, it would be an interesting one.  I can see her trying to illusion herself or at least do some kind of disguise.   She really has no problems with the mages guild but she think they should expand on their teachings and knowledge but she also understands why they dont.

Hmm. There are a few options you could go with if you want to incorporate this idea into Morticia's backstory. You could have had her victim be someone close to her (a lover or a family member, for example). If you went with a close friend in the Mages Guild, that might provide motivation for her to have left them quickly (though it would also make sense for her to leave as soon as she turned into a vampire - after all, the Guild probably wouldn't be very accepting of her condition). You could also intentionally leave this part of her backstory vague for now and then develop it later - or not! Maybe Morticia is so ashamed of what she has done she doesn't ever want to bring it up again.

I kind of like the idea maybe she left in the dead of the night or setup a situation where the people back then thought she died.  (well she did literally die so she isnt lying there).  I an also see her trying not to eat people and one day it just happened and she ran into the ravenwatch and they helped her.

Another idea for something you could possibly include - maybe she's involved with the antiquarians in Skyrim?

 

Let me know about what you think about this feedback! I really like the direction Morticia is going!

Oh i like that idea, not sure what skills or what i should add to that.  I also added a bunch to the first post but I think I over did it.  I do like the idea of that and it is a good excuse for her moving around alot and being in areas that normal people wouldn't be around. (tombs , caves etc )

Already off to a great start!!! I love the idea of her being a researcher into either a cure or ways to lessen the negative side effects of Vampirism! Goes especially well with her prior involvement with the Mages Guild, she's a trained researcher! Here's some ideas I'm getting, let me know what you think:

 

- Necromancy is a fantastic pairing for her goals. After all, how much truly separates a reanimated corpse from the living un-death that is vampirism? Perhaps researching further into the metaphysical, magical mechanisms that govern postmortem animation/immortality could be a character justification for why she uses necromancy?

that sounds good

1 hour ago, fltwoodsmonster said:

- Mysticism/Conjuration might be another magicka school she could specialize in, as Mysticism in the RP sheet  includes "soul trap" (a spell that falls under Conjuration in the other Elder Scrolls games).  Perhaps the preserved body is just a vessel that houses a vampire's soul? This could be another area she's researching. There's actually an existing character from the Elder Scrolls Skyrim who was a Vampire that specialized in Conjuration/Necromancy you could use for inspiration. Here's a link to her lore page on UESP.

*nods*  i can see her adding necromancy as a course of study after she turns

1 hour ago, fltwoodsmonster said:

- She could be a Scholar of Daedra, specifically Molag Bal, as it is the Daughters of Coldharbor who are considered the origin of vampirism within Tamriel. Here is a link to the lore page with information on Daughters of Coldharbor, but CONTENT WARNING for discussion of violent sexual assault. If you'd like a censored version of the lore without that potentially upsetting info, let me know and I can send a short summary! 

- Another possible trait: Alchemy! Vampirism can also be achieved through alchemical means. Surely it can be cured that way as well!

maybe to see what makes the daedra tick, i can see her maybe experimenting to see if daedra can help in the cure.  Would alchemy be part of researching etc?

Some questions/things to consider:

- What's her relationship with Ravenwatch like? Is she a respected member within their ranks, or is she a loner who aligns herself with them only for the protection bearing their name brings?

I would like her to be a respected member who has been there a while.

- How did she become a member of House Ravenwatch?

Well i put her at 90 , I want to put her in her 20's when she was the mage's guild and was a researcher and  around 30 when she became a vamp.   She was lost for a few years and then qwenis found her (or someone from there )

1 hour ago, fltwoodsmonster said:

- What sort of espionage does she engage in? Is she spying on some group/place in particular, or is she a pair of wandering eyes & ears for them?

 maybe she has done a little of both but mostly ears and eyes that wonder around

1 hour ago, fltwoodsmonster said:

- What was her departure from the Mages Guild like? Is there anyone out there who would recognize her from before she turned? If so, would that put her secret in danger of being exposed?

Not sure,  if ido the time line of her being turned at 30 and her maybe running from them or just disappearing.  it would be 60 yrs, we could do a person recognizes her.  

1 hour ago, fltwoodsmonster said:

- Has she ever hurt anyone as a result of her bloodlust?

Yes and she felt guilty and somehow she was found by ravenwatch?  not sure

1 hour ago, fltwoodsmonster said:

- How does she feel about being a vampire? Is she proud? Ashamed? Or is it so much a part of her, she doesn't think about it much at all?

part of her hates it and sometimes she doesn't  think about it.  (the vial she carries around helps ).  But she has never enjoyed really being a vampire but she is used to it now.

1 hour ago, fltwoodsmonster said:

- Besides pursuing her research, are there any other aspects to Morticia's character you hope to incorporate?

She likes music, she likes to read she does love reading history and digging into old tombs and ancient cities etc.

not sure, she does like to drink

Let me know what you think about what I've said here! And feel free to respond/ignore whatever you'd like. I'm happy to talk more here on the forums, or talk over discord if its easier for you. Also... this is selfish, but I think Rayrasa and Morticia could totally be friends. Rayrasa would find her pursuit of a therapy for vampirism fascinating!!

I like alot of what you wrote, i am not sure what i would add.

Daedric Curse |  Morticia  is a vampire and despises this curse that was forced upon her

Infertile | She's a vampire thus infertile (not a issue for her)

Driving Goal | Books/Learning: distraction he act of combat or killingwhen around new books, kind of a driving need for knowledge

addiction :    Tea, must have at least a cup of tea for the day or she will be cranky  

Naive:    She grew up isolated on summerset, so she is learning about the world now while traveling.   (jance gave me this idea since layessa has commented she thinks this of arwen ) 

@Draynar  I  did new post in this overly long thread so we can discus or i can just edit and add stuff without messing anything up in the first post.     I wanted to change the numbers since I did  age her up and I did have her be in the school of mage and I also did that one quest in desham the ultra fancy dark elf school of  magic.

I wanted to add destruction since I  did do it in the last one and I may have done it before.  I figure she probably have learned that.   I don't know if you want to leave the schools at novice or if it was ok if we changed it to adept.   I want to change scholar to adept also if that is possible.  I also want to  maybe make diplomacy/persuasion to adept?  Since i did flirt with the guy on the island.

change the flaws? eh  i never good at thinking of them.

(i don't want to try to be over powerful but  Her numbers are kind of crap )

I love her oh and  I love the format Of your page

oh thanks

High intensity interval workout. There are a ton online. About a year ago, I purchased one from VShred that I’ll be following. 
 

I’m attempting to avoid the gym as much as possible. I hate working out in front of people lol. 

 I hate going to the gym also and that added with my vision/hearing it can be a little harder  for me.    I kind of like the stuff either online or the dvd's. 

I need to get back to the routine of exercising, I do have a fitbit watch.    I would love some plant based recipes or something healthier.  I am  am never going to be a vegetarian.  I love fish/chicken/turkey too much      I have been trying to be better incorporating fruit smoothies (i add protein powder to it ) .    

What is a HIIT workout @Ezoura?

I am also limited in what I can do (ok not really since there is a adult center with classes and a small gym about a mile away) since I use public transit or my two feet.   (also financially limited  )

I am going to try slowly because if I do too much at first I will get bored and or burnt out.  

Wish i had pointers @Ezoura, I need motivation and pointers myself.

I have it on PS4 and haven't played very far. Like crap ship if any tbh. 

 

I have a raid tonight but tomorrow night I'd be game suggesting the PS4 and PC servers are one and the same. I don't know much about it. It was Free to download and play on ps4 and I love me some star trek so I downloaded it

It’s free on pc to I don’t know if there is a difference game wise. Starter ships are always crap

With me watching DS9 for the 3rd or 4th time within 2 years, plus with this sudden upsurge, I redownloaded the game last night. Not sure when I'll be available during the weekend to play, however.

You will love the gamma expansion I suspect
