Welcome to Brotherhood of Sithis. We hope you enjoy your visit.


You're currently viewing our forum as a guest. This means you are limited to certain aspects of the board and there are some features you cannot use. If you would like to join our Elder Scrolls based community, you must create a character within the lore of the Elder Scrolls and write them a back story. Our story began approximately a year after the Oblivion Crisis, and it ranges all over Tamriel. Each Province is represented and usable. Please take the time to read the back stories of those who are already here before you write yours, so we do not have repeats of ideas. (Great minds, after all, do think alike!)

We now have a section that takes place during and after the events in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This section does not in any way interact with the old one.

Again, you are most welcome here! Once your story is complete, join up and post it! A Speaker will contact you, and you will be able to join a Sanctuary. Or, if you would rather not be a member of the Brotherhood, you can request to play another faction. It is rather flexible and good. If you have any questions, feel free to email Shivani at anonymous_celt@yahoo.com.

Please note that The Elder Scrolls, The Dark Brotherhood, Sithis, and several of the NPCs are all owned by Bethesda Softworks.

OOC PlayPen; Because we need one!

If I may add, as I understand it, when canon characters such as Lucien and Vicente were added, the Members of the Black Hand played them simply to safeguard the characters, and also to prevent people jostling to claim the role. I was recruited when I started-ages ago, now, to play as Lucien, because, like a few others, I was personally known to the Listener, and she thought I would be perfect to play him. I just have to hope she's been proved right!

From there, I have recruited friends, and so on. When Lucien and the others appeared at first though, we had quite a number who might have taken the roles. I think that the then Black Hand did a great job in making them part of the site without ruining their integrity as canon. It is an honour to play him, though sometimes difficult, as he is so complex!

Our Vicente arrived about the same time as I did, fortunately, and we have become very good friends. I hope that comes across in the story lines. One day we hope to sit down together in actuality. Now, I have spoken far too much for me!

Yeah... Initially, I was playing Vicente. I felt that I was dishing up a HUGE load of FAILSAUCE, so I recruited someone I knew through Minx. Someone with acting experience, who ad-libbed well, and who had played a similar character before. That's how we ended up with our Vicente!

Oh, me. LOL Yeah, I was nervous at first!!! But it's sooo fun!
Besides, playing a canon character meant I didn't have to write a backstory. Score!

I was unsure as to what a glomp was myself... so... I did a little research. I think I shall avoid being glomped for the time being if its anything like this link describes!

Angry Ghost! BOO!
Well, my day has officially gone down the shitter! My 360 RROD'd again. Its been about 6 years since it did it the first time, and I had to get it fixed, but it was at least under warranty then. Don't know what to do with it. I'm flat broke. My options as they stand:

1) Send it in to get fixed for $99, risk RROD again
2) Buy a refurbished old version for $80-$150 (all used, and risking RROD)
3) Buy a new Slim with a big hdd for $299 and waste a new 120GB hard drive (or sell it for a fraction of the price)
4) Attempt to fix it myself.

Dude... that SUCKS. Really, really sucks. If it were me.... I'd go with option 4, but then... I'm crazy, so... yeah.
Shivani... you are not allowed to stop writing that story. You gave me an awesome job and then STOPPED? Oh, fuck no. You will continue writing, or I will... um... have my minion call you. ;) You know the one.

Really, guys? Gods blood! Alright, I give! I am shielding this potential RPer for a very good reason. I want her to be able to remain anonymous behind the mask of Cicero just as we are all anonymous behind the faces of our characters. Only if she wants, will her identity be revealed. And that's not about to change. I don't want her to feel any pressure. Pressure isn't fun. I know that's how we ended up with Throyn (lolz), but that only works when the pressure is coming from someone who is actually hitting you with a sword. (Reenactment fighting FTW.)
So, on that note, I CAN tell you that she is like all of us. She gets into the character she's playing very, very well, and the only way to know it's her playing... is to already know. The seams do not exist. Unless provoked, she's very nice. I think she's loads of fun, but that's just me. She is, like a few of us here, a Loki fangirl. Actually, I think it goes past the character of Loki and right into the actor, which is cool. Gotta love Tom Hiddleston! Obviously, she's into the Elder Scrolls. Duh, right.
So now you know all I will tell. Keep your shirts on!

Oh! A fellow Loki fan! :D
I hope she decides to join, Shivani. She sounds like a good person to have on board, and it would be a shame to waste your kindness on someone who doesn't... I dunno, accept it. I don't know if that's right, but... it seems that you're so nice to everyone, and you're always get shit on.

Ha! You think it's bad now? You should have seen her ten years ago. Nicest person I'd ever come across, and some slutty bitches decide they're going to set her up and make her look like an idiot in front of everyone. Yeah. Didn't work. She's not just nice: she's smart. Don't worry about her, Arielle. If this person she's trying to recruit DOESN'T join, she wont take it personally. It'll end up in the category of "shit happens", and she'll continue to be nice to her. That's just who she is. Nice to everybody she comes across... until she is given a reason to not be so nice. And I got to watch this transformation! It was like... the Hulk. She went from sweet, kind, etc Shivani to a fucking tiger and tore into those bitches like nothin I've ever seen. And she didn't ever take her hands off of her desk. But when she got done with them, they'd all wished they'd left her alone. And then... she fumed for an hour, and it was over. They left her alone, and she went back to being nice to everyone.
She's no pushover.

That's not really what I meant, though I haven't seen her be anything BUT nice. I dunno. She just lavishes love and affection unconditionally to people that she hardly knows, and she gets burned for it sometimes. I don't think this'll be one of those cases, but, you know? I like Shivani. I consider her a friend, loosely. I'd not like to see her hurt.

Well, like I said, if this person doesn't join, it's not like they're insulting her or anything. Could just be that something came up or whatever.
Just the way she is. She sees someone hurting and tries to help. Even though she hates people passionately.

I hate to interrupt this lovely analysis of me and why I do things, but... would you two shut up? You're makin me squirmy! Oy vay!
Yes, I hate people. To quote one of my favorite movies, "People are dumb, panicky animals," and they PROVE it all the time. However, I like individuals, and I think that offering someone a hand is harmless. If they take it, kudos to them. If they scorn it, well, I tried. No skin of my teeth, as it were.
As for the "mystery person", as someone back there put it (Jhared, I think), I'm not going to be hurt if she opts out. I'll be really psyched if she joins though, mostly because I am terrified to try playing Cicero. And I know I'd end up playing him if she doesn't join. He's a great character, and I LOVE taking him places in Skyrim, but I do not have the grasp of his personality that she does. I've written insanity before, but it was brief and INTENSE. The character snapped, went bonkers, and then died. Cicero's brand of madness is... Cicero's. So, I will wait patiently and see what she says. If she doesn't join, I'll ask her for pointers.

As someone who has shared a home with our dear Voice for almost a year, I know she is no pushover, but she is a very sweet and happy person. I miss her greatly. :'(

I just had one of those "movie" moments. In Bruma, Jack just waved his fork around and declared himself "Jack the Pirate". My thought was "Jack? That's a terrible name for a pirate!" Thank you, Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson!
