Oblivion:Roleplaying/Lunatic

This article provides one suggestion for character-type roleplaying. Please see the main Roleplaying article for contribution guidelines.

Go insane! One day gather up your kit (usually a few tattered rags and some yarn) and set off. Find yourself a good base your own sanctum and sit there for a few hours everyday to brood on life and those you hate. Are you a dangerous lunatic? A man who mothers talk about to scare their children into being good? Or are you the odd man who occasionaly breaks into houses and leaves cabbages on tables?

Be inventive! Remember you are insane so act like it! Visit the SI or Sheogorath's shrine once every month. Live in Flooded Mine and only come out at night. Remember the golden rule at all times: You are the lunatic of Cyrodiil.

World not big enough for two lunatics? Kill Glarthir. Use frenzy spells to create bar fights and join in! You are one of Sheogorath's chosen, so don't skimp on causing madness!

Flooded Mine is by far the best of any lair to hang out in because it has no monsters and is partially underwater (Only a lunatic would live in a partially submerged cave). It also has a functional sleeping mattress and plenty of room for your random collections and trophies. (try filling a section with lettuce - for those hungry months)

Lunatics should always carry a dagger and be quite proficent in hand to hand combat. They never think about their own safety and it is quite normal for a lunatic to run into an Oblivion Gate, punch a daedra, and run for it!

If you choose to act out the dangerous lunatic try to adopt Glarthir's mannerisms; find someone who was following you last Turdas and follow them collect evidence of where they went, e.g. some scraps of paper if they went to a bookshop, some grapes if they went to a vineyard. Learn their schedule and when you confront them about it cast frenzy so they attack you. Join in the slaughter of your stalker and take something from their corpse or house to remember them by, e.g. Pinarus Inventius bow.

Make circles of skulls and stand in them if anyone approaches you look shiftily around and throw skulls at them until they leave you all alone. Then rebuild your skull circle.

Jump around naked, constantly running into people.

Perhaps you are completely normal most of the time, but come full moon(s) you go on a psycho rampage!

Cry "The end of the world is coming, flee for your lives!"
