So... ever since I read someone's idea of how an RP's rules should be, I was thinking of trying to put it to the test, including myself. (I refuse to disclose his name for his own safety and privacy. ;) )

I'm also planning to test out a new form of story, which only few events are scripted that will not heavily and negatively impact characters, but only the story.

So here goes:

A mysterious magical fissure has appeared somewhere near Fallowstone Cave in 4E 217.

Ever since it appeared, hundreds and hundreds of intrigued scholars decided to make a trip there and investigate the fissure. Mysteriously, they never returned.

Now the Orcs who value Fallowstone Cave consider the Path to the Fissure a place of no return, and warned people not to enter it.

But rumors of countless treasures and the insane rumor of a gateway to an alternate version of Tamriel has only ignited adventurers and scholars even more to investigate the fissure. Like those before them, they never returned.

Now the fissure remains unvisited, until now.

It's the year 4E 219.

Bio/Backstory: (Required unless you have a good reason not to post it. If you do have a good reason put it where the backstory would go)

Rules:

1: You are not Dragonborn.

2. You can have one special power and one special item OR two of either, These powers are of your own making and unique to you.

3. You must have some sort of severe weakness.

4. Any extra powerful stuff(Like daedric/aedric artifacts or other unique items) MUST be gained through RP.

5. Keep your characters to a minimum max 3 + any number of NPC's or minor characters

6. 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 or NPC's.)

7. You can not be overpowered under any circumstances.

12: Do not imprison characters unless they agree.

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

14: The thu'um is allowed but only 3 words of power, these 3 words cannot all be of the same shout, Thu'um counts as a power.

Also, I'm gonna add a new rule to test out.

15: Your character can switch sides, but only once. You can only switch sides again when the GM approves.

Note: Some events are scripted, but will not imprison characters against their will and it's only made for a scene. The planned scripted events are roughly only two, which have a major effect in the storyline.
