Hail all.. In my years of mmo-rpg gaming I not role-played much at all, though I do attempt to every now and then. Can basically call me an rp rookie willing to learn some basics.
With that said, I wanted to attempt a background story for my main at least. It may be a bit from left-field so any input on the idea would be appreciated.
Since I do not know much of the lore of Elder Scrolls universe that well, I was thinking of a marriage between it and a time period and region I have a fondness of. That of 15th century Eastern Europe, specifically Wallachia, Hungary and their battles against the Turkish armies. The main character I am looking at would be named after Janos Hunyadi who was a regent of Hungary and one of the strongest military generals of that time. Borrowing from the "Gor" and "John Carter of Mars" book series, I came up with a possible scenario.
...
After the battle of Varna we find Janos riding alone in a stretch of woods deep in thought over the lives lost. Looking to his left, he sees, a glowing soul gem. Not sure what it was he picked it up for a closer look. Suddenly a funnel of light surrounds and lifts him off the ground, then disappears. Laying on the cold rocky ground, he starts to came to, shaking off the falling snow, and begins to take in his new surroundings. Suddenly, he was struck from behind, falling unconscious yet again. He finally wakes up in a cold cell with nothing but rags to wear...
A little too far out there? or possibly feasible? Badly written? .. Any input good or bad is welcome. :)
