» Sun Jun 17, 2012 5:00 am Somewhere in Tamriel's future, a bunch of elvish mages/scientists create a space/dimensional travel device. It's revolutionary, but dangerous. So they put out an ad looking for test subjects. Then it cuts to the scene where the introduce the main cast. I'm just making this up, but theres: Hansel (Aka Han) Who's the main character. He's a breton with a relatable personality. He's kind of a guy who imagines that he's going to be a big, famous mage. So he spends much of his time studying and daydreaming about magic. However he struggles to cast even the simplest of spells, and works a low-paying job as a barmaid at an inn.
Dack-Fa-Meeck (Aka "Swims-With Fishes" ((Mcka "Fish"))) Fish is Han's roomate, and best friend. He's an Argonian, and his hobbies are pretty much the same as Han's but with theivery instead of magic. The main difference being, however, that Fish is actually at least half-competent at this, and steal pretty much anything he can on a regular baisis. He's no master theif thou, mind you. Think more like those random thugs who steal womens purses, try to run away, then get beat up by "Protagonist X". He enjoys decorating his and Han's apartment with the many small things he steals. Fish has no real job besides theivery. He takes what he can, and mooches the rest off of Han. Han sometimes worries that one day, karma will punish his friend. But he tolerates his crime nonetheless, sometimes even getting involved with his "Master heists".
Ar'taesi is a female khajiit, and Fish's adopted sister. As opposed to Fish and Han's Very-Low-Middleclass standing, Ar'taesi is at the absolute lowest rung of society; Begging for food and gold on the streets. She's a bit quiet and shy. She has been ever since her and Fish's family were [NUMMIT]. But she opens up to those she knows and trusts, such as Fish, and Han to an extent. Revealing a bubbly, and even eccentric personality. However, she tends to return to her normal, sad, shy, stand-in the-corners self whenever purrsented with a new person, or situation. And so she spends the majority of her days sittin on street corners with a hat intended for charity beside her, not daring to call out to the citizens who pass her.
Ma'dargo is anothe khajiit. He's a middle class citizen, leading a fairly normal life. And he's also Fish's "Partner in Crime". Thogh he's not really as interested in the "profit" side of crime (As he makes a fair amout of coin printing papers for the Black Horse Cor.) as much as the "Romance and Drama" side. If Fish's life goal is "Money and Success" then Ma'dargo's is "Love". He dreams of finding a fair maiden, one who will fancy him. And the, he say, "Ma'dargo shall truly be able to live happily ever after.". His neverending search for love, however is what keeps him from noticing that it's right in front of him. (Hinthint, winkwink. )
And lastly, Lisli. Lisli is a high elf of royal blood. She know everyone else only because Han once tricked her into thinking he was a prince due to shenanegins which shall be specified at a later date... Anyway after she first met everyone, they had some really interesting stuff to talk about due to their social differences. They started hanging out more and more, and soon, she was not only Han's friend but fairly close with Fish, Ah'sarir, and Ma'dargo as well.
Now on to the actual plot: When fish first hears about the search for test subjects, he can't believe his ears. Not only would simply testing out this new Thalmor machine pull him, his sister, and his best friend out of poverty, they might even become somthing of celebrities! "The Legendary Fish, First being to Conquer Space and Time" sounded amazingly appealing to him. So he told Han, who told Ma'dargo, who told Ah'sarir, and Lisli jumped in on what she thought would be a perfectly safe wy not only to escape from her life for a while, but also to make some money.
