The Elder Scrolls: Damnation
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2018 5:24 pmby The Third Triumverate
There have been plenty of TES rp's on this site, but none like this. In fact, I hope that this will be novel enough that no rp has been like what I have planned. Before we go any further, if you're interested, this will not be for the faint of heart. There won't be any guro or scat or anything like that, but "hardcore" or "rough" don't come close to the punishments your characters will likely face.
Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business...
Lore:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
One hundred years have passed since the Dragonborn heroically defeated Alduin, Miraak, and the Dawnguard. After retiring to Solstheim, The Dragonborn watched from afar as the empire deteriorated. After the Stormcloaks pushed the Empire out of Skyrim, others followed suit. Now, one hundred years later, the Empire is fragmented, and ripe to be plucked by an age old enemy.
A letter arrived months ago from a woman who claimed to be a snow elf, the last of her kind. She described how her old master, Molag Bal, is collecting power to mount an assault on Tamriel, and only a few mortals are capable of stopping him. Two strangers, this elf, and you make up the force assigned from the gods, both good and bad, to stop him. Such an imbalance of power brings together unlikely allies; never before have both Daedra and Aedra fought ont he same side to defeat a common enemy. The snow elf, for instance, claims to be the champion of Auri-el and and a Daedric Prince. The curious letter has drawn you to the border of Skyrim, High Rock, and Cyrodil, to a gloomy cave where the elf plans to cast mysterious spells to bind the three of you to your quest.

Gameplay:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Your characters will form a team, but will venture out individually on missions to increase your power and destroy your opponents before coming together periodically to fight battles. Furthermore, the three characters must be a female Nord (Skyrim), Imperial (Cyrodil), and Breton (High Rock). This will be first-come-first-serve, but please read my final notes regarding story development. This style is different from other rp's in that the plot is quite structured (at least in my experience)- I've planned out the missions and battles for each character. If you win, you'll obtain whatever you set out to obtain (numbers for your armies, better equipment, broken enemy leadership, etc), but if you lose... ohhhho ho ho OH BOY IF YOU LOSE
You can check out the "Losing/captivity" spoiler if you like, which is a lot of boring math, but if you lose, it'll be rape, rape, and more rape.
Another aspect that sets this rp apart is how fast-paced and brutal the battles will be. We'll discuss combat below, but both you and your enemies can fall in two, sometimes just one, hit.

Character sheet:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Some of this may not make sense immidiately, but if you read the rest of the page, it should. For example, I measure health in hearts (<3's) and weapon/armor damage capabilities in stars (*'s).
Name:
Appearance (the appearance of your character can be whatever you like. You can have multiple pictures depicting your character and her armor separately. Regarding the armor, I would prefer it be a "3D" picture from a TES game, or a mod, or something like that (please rip from what I have attached below! That'd make me happy!), but if you prefer a drawing, I'd rather you be content :>):
Stats:
Combat: (melee skill, both offensive and defensive. Skill for everything from swords to shields to lances to daggers to maces to whips to whatever you want to wield)
Magic: (again, both offensive and defensive. Destruction, conjuration, alteration, restoration, whatever school of magic you'd like to make up)
Ranged (skill evading and attacking with bows, crossbows, spears, throwing knives, whatever else you can think up.)
Thievery: (affects your sneak skill and escape chance if captured)
Health: (should be at least 6 <3's, but if you feel like your character should be extra tough, go for it)
Armor: (typically light armor is 25 *'s and heavy armor is 50 *'s, but your armor could be extra special)
Weapon: (at least 60 *'s; enemies usually have weapons that are 50 *'s)
If you are the Breton, start with three spells (can be ripped from the game or entirely made up). If you are the Imperial, start with two. Nord starts with one.
Powers: these are completely up to you.
Divine power: this could be given to you by one of the Nine Divines, a blessing from an ancestor, whatever.
Daedric power: usually Daedric worship is outlawed, but in times like these, power is worshipped.
History: describe your character's history. How did they get to be such a badass? It isn't often that someone becomes a Daedric Champion, especially while also maintaining a powerful blessing from the gods above. This is what makes you three so special: your twin affinities for light and dark. So how'd you get to become who you are?

Missions:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Between each battle (battles are with your teammates, missions are solo), your character will attempt two missions. One will be to increase her power (numbers, equipment, training, etc) and one will be to decrease enemy power. If you fail in a mission (do not complete your objective or lose all hearts), you will need to attempt an escape. More details on escaping in the "Losing/captivity" section below. If you do not escape... very bad, and very long lasting things will happen. And if it wasn't obvious, you will be captured and need of rescue quite often.

Battles:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
After each character has completed her missions, a battle will ensue. The result of each battle will be a culmination of mission successes/failures and performance of each character during the battle. Battle wins/losses will result in momentum for the next missions and battles (ie, the final battle could be a last ditch effort by your enemies or your own last stand, depending on how previous battles go). Therefore, these battles will pull from previous missions' successes and failures. If you manage to recruit a group of fighters in one mission but then are captured by the enemy in the next, they may quickly become demoralized when they see their great savior getting assfucked on a pillory on the ramparts of the fort they're trying to capture. More info on that in the "Losing/captivity" section.

Combat:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Combat success will be governed by your skill in the appropriate area , your enemy's skill, and a touch of luck. Enemies will typically have three <3's (you have a base of six). You may attack with a weapon or magic, and use a power with an attack. The duration and replenishment time for your powers can be negotiated (your characters should be pretty OP). Each turn will be divided into two or three segments, depending on if you are sneaking (see combat example below).
The first segment is the hit chance; this determines if you actually hit your opponent. This is broken down into three numbers: your appropriate skill (if it is a ranged attack, it's your ranged combat skill; if a magic attack, it's your magic skill) plus a roll (a random number usually from -30 to +30, but there are exceptions which I'll mention) subtracted by the enemy's skill (again, ranged if ranged, magic if magic, combat if combat). If the sum of these is greater than zero, you hit your enemy.
As for the damage sustained, a similar formula is used, except the numbers are substituted with your weapon
and enemy armor *'s. If you are attacking, the first number is your weapon *'s (typically 60), added to a roll (again, usually a random number between -30 and 30), subtracted by your enemy's armor (heavy armor is 50 *'s and light armor is 25 *'s) "Why would I use light armor, then?" you may ask. Light armor will give you half the *'s of heavy armor, but if attacked by an enemy while you wear light armor, the roll in their hit chance calculation becomes -50 to 10 instead of -30 to 30. This is one example of when the roll is not -30 to 30; another is during sneaking with light armor, with the same result. Sneak attempts will be the same as any other attempt, with success calculated by your skill + a roll - enemy skill. Ranged sneak attacks are double damage, combat sneak attacks are triple damage but require an extra turn to approach your enemy, and may alert you to other enemies (magic attacks can be either ranged or combat). Failed sneak attacks result in your enemy(ies) attacking first instead of you.

Failed sneak attacks result in your enemy(ies) attacking first instead of you.
Losing/captivity:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
The results of losing all your health depends on how and when you lose it. If you are knocked out during a mission to increase your army's power, the results will be different from losing while attacking the enemy. If you lose while garnering power yourself, your temporary allies for that mission may turn hostile and take you prisoner for a few turns. As for being captured in enemy territory, you'll play a game similar to rock paper scissors, only with higher stakes. If you cannot escape, your enemies will begin the long process of sacrificing your soul to their god. For them to be successful in their sacrifice and permanently cursing you, they must win the next battle. Mirelle can take the fall for you the first time, but if this happens again, your teammates will need to travel to another dimension to save you before the next battle.
Each time you lose, your captors will do anything from inflicting a curse on you to tattooing humiliating things on your body. If captured in enemy territory, your soulless vessel will be put up on display and gangraped during the next battle to demoralize your troops. You must defeat the enemy and recapture your vessel to limit the effects of the enemy's curse. If you are unsuccessful, the curse will also be applied to Mirelle, since a part of her soul is keeping your vessel alive. After losing the corresponding battle, your vessel will become a rape slave for your enemy, and cannot be rescued. Finally, if/once Mirelle saves all three of you, she will have no soul left.
Escape minigame mechanics:
For friendly territory missions (recruiting/improving your power), you will attempt to escape each turn, and this will be similar to a combat roll. Your aim is to add your thievery skill and a roll to equal exactly one hundred, and the roll will be the difference between your skill and the number one hundred. A couple examples will help.
Say you are captured, and your thievery skill is 90. Your attempt would look like this:
Attempt 1: 90 (skill) + 5 (roll from 0 to 10) = 95, not successful
Attempt 2: 90 (skill) + 10 (roll from 0 to 10) = 100, success!
For enemy territory missions: the same game will be played, but if you lose, you move on to another. It is similar to rock paper scissors, except with worse chances for you. The enemy will try to break either your mind, break your body, or humiliate and disgrace your soul. Each turn, you will choose to steady your mind, prepare your body, or pray to ease your soul. If you choose the right option, the enemy's torment will have no effect on you (I will choose what your tormentors do with a roll of a die, 1-3; 1 is mind, 2 is body, 3 is soul). Choose incorrectly, however, and you will be that much closer to breaking. Each part of you, mind body soul, can endure three turns' worth of torture before breaking. Once broken, you will endure a curse and your soul will begin the slow process of pilgrimage back to the shrine where you start the game (home base).

Example CS, example combat, and intro:
It's the total package! The character sheet I included here is an example for you to follow, and the character I introduce will also be your guide during the rp.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
The mild wind cools off your brow as you enter the tunnel, thirsty for air in the high altitude. Once inside the gloomy cave, you listen closely for anything other than the occasional drip of water or scurrying critter. You hear nothing, but soon reach a cavern at the end of which is an altar.
You spend a few moments to study the figure praying at the altar's base, and the altar itself. The figure appears ordinary: a black cloak, hood, and boots; but the purple-green mist surrounding the statue of Molag Bal is disconcerting to say the least. As the figure begins a new prayer, you see a rustle in the leaves behind him.
You scan the foliage to no avail, then suddenly she popped up from the greens to fire a piercing shot from her bow.

"You three can come out now. The coast is clear."
Two more figures, previously hidden to you, grow from the ominous fog of the cave.
"As you all know, Molag Bal, the King of Rape, aims for the complete domination of our realm, Nirn, as well as the other Daedra, and even the Aedra themselves. But his mission starts here, on Mundus. If we stop him here, he cannot continue devouring the other realms.
"Thus, Auri-el has brought you three to me. My champions, you have the ability to stop this madness, and bring back balance. You wouldn't be here if you didn't already believe in this cause, but many in Tamriel remain unconvinced. Our primary objective, at least initially, will be to recruit numbers to our cause. Molag Bal's servants are sure to attempt the same, so we must stop them with whatever means necessary.
"Your quest will not be easy. I fear that we may need to endure the worst to find victory. I am prepared to give my soul to help our cause; can you say the same? If not, leave this place now.
None of you move a muscle.
"Good. Now if you would, please stand on that pedestal. This will bind your soul, your armor, and this shrine, allowing you to return here if captured. Remember, though, that the process will take many days, giving your tormentors ample time to take you as their prisoner if you are bested in combat. And as a final reminder, this magic works well with souls, but not so much with anything inanimate. So unfortunately, you must keep your armor to a minimum at all times after the incantation."
Yourself and your new teammates step onto the grey, cold platform and the elf begins her strange, foreign magics. She chants in ancient elvish, reading from a coveted Elder Scroll as the ground shakes and the air itself seems to be breaking apart. You all collectively hold your breath as she pauses briefly before throwing her hands down, and an explosion of magic ripples through the air.
When you open your eyes, the statue of Molag Bal has crumbled, and a pillar of purple light surrounds you all on the pedestal. Gingerly, you step down.
Your eyes widen as the snow elf's armor has transformed into something clearly magical, but clearly more... Revealing. That must be what she meant by keeping armor to a minimum.
The elf, exhausted from the ordeal, speaks in a raspy but victorious voice.
"Let our crusade begin."

Final (important) notes:

Again, all characters must be female. One nord, one Breton, and one imperial only. I will consider another character type after we've started, but I think three will still be plenty for me to handle. Your outfit must be quite revealing (not because I want it that way, but because of the plot!) I would love for you to use the armors I have listed, but if they don't float your boat, that's ok too.
Please be as creative as you like creating your character! If you think she should get four instead of three turns for torture during captivity, go for it. I'll tell you if you're too overpowered, but it'll take a lot to get there. You are the last line of defense against Molag Bal, after all!
To be clear: if you lose on a mission in enemy territory, and are captured and broken, your soul will be transported back to the platform on which you start, but you will need to rescue your body (vessel) to eliminate or limit the enemy's curse. To curse you successfully, the enemy must capture and break you, then defend your broken vessel against your teammates' attempt of rescue, then defeat you on the battlefield. All the while, the curse's power will grow and limit your capabilities. Mirelle will sacrifice her soul for you the first time so that you don't have to rescue yourself, but if all three of your teammates fall to the enemy, she will have no more soul to give.
I understand this is quite confusing, and vomiting words on a page like I did here isn't very helpful. Please ask questions if you are confused, I would be delighted to answer them.
Also, in your CS's, please include your turn-ons and turn-offs. Please be as exhaustive as possible, as it helps tailor the story to what you like. For example:
Turn-ons: ryona, aheago, forced orgasms, forced gangbangs, humiliation, watersports, body modification, exhibitionism, bondage, anal.
Turn-offs: scat, guro, gay, cross dressing, yuri, the aldmeri dominion
Finally, if you choose to join this rp, I ask that you be prepared to develop your character as thoroughly as possible. I won't be able to enjoy GM'ing for characters whose stories are bland and emotionless. This is why I hope those who sign up will be comfortable taking freedoms with their characters; I don't plan to be an overbearing god who decides every character's actions.
