Paid: Flat Rate 60 USD
Role assigned to: Jake Ruddle Audio

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Horik Strong-hand is a retired Nord soldier currently living in Riften.

- Horik Strong-hand is a veteran of The Great War and a native of Skyrim. He lived in Riften for years and has seen the rise of crime within the city. He is accompanied by his old friend, Cassius. He is an alternative option for jarl of Riften if the Empire takes over the city.

- Horik is an honorable individual who respects the law. He has seen firsthand what war can do to someone. He is not a fan of the Civil War, as he believes that it has caused a rift within the Nord communities. Seeing families and friends breaking bonds over politics fills him with dread. What also displeases him is the rampant crime within the city he lives in. Seeing the place he calls home being turned into a safehaven for criminals displeases him greatly. If given the chance to Jarl, he would promise to crack down on the crime in Riften and make it great again.

- He's 45-55 years old.

- Scandanavian accent, Central European, Eastern European accent, or North American accent. No other exceptions.

- He should sound like an honorable leader. A grizzled soldier. The type of person who'd you want to lead your community.

  • [Person asks who you are]

    I am Horik Strong-Hand. I'm a veteran of the Great War. Lived here in Riften for a very long time. (Sigh)(contempt in voice) It's really tragic how this city has fallen.

    [Person asks where they can find work]

    If you want good, honest work, talk to Mjoll.

    |
    If you have a more... (Sigh)(gritting teeth)(Contempt in voice) criminal disposition, there's no shortage of that kind of work here.

    [Person asks who's in charge of Riften[

    (Hate in voice)(Disappointed tone) If it wasn't clear before, Maven Black-Briar is in charge. Being installed as Jarl of Riften further legitimized her grip over this city.

    [Person asks what you think of The Civil War]

    (Passionate tone) If you ask me, the whole damn thing is pointless. Nord blood is being spilled across the land just to install one man as High King.

    I fought in the Great War. It pains me to see all these young boys eager to charge into their deaths, against their own brothers.

  • [A month has passed since your last meeting with this individual][The Empire has since taken back Riften, and has installed you as jarl after discovering that their previous choice was "less than adequate" for the role][This person meets you again and asks who's charge of Riften now that the Empire has it under their control again]

    That would be me. The Empire has finally seen how corrupt Maven is, and put me in charge. I'm going to help clean up this town, one step at a time.

    [Person states they have found a skooma dealer in Riften]

    Yes, I'm afraid we're aware of Sarthis' presence in the warehouse.

    |
    Unfortunately, we're certain he has informants within the city guard. Every time we've made a move to arrest him, he's escaped.
    |
    |
    However, if you'd take care of this discreetly, you might be able to surprise him without warning.

    [Person declines the assignment][Says it's too dangerous]

    (Subtle feeling of disappointment) Hmm. Well, if you change your mind, come see me again.

  • [Person comes to see you again][You have been told of their good deeds in helping the city]

    (Smile)(Happy tone) Ah, there you are. I was wondering when you'd visit us again.
    |
    |
    I've been informed by my steward that you've made quite an impression in the Rift; several of our citizens have expressed their admiration.

    [Person says, "Regarding what, my lord"]

    Much like Mjoll, you've become champion of our hold; helping people with their difficulties and providing assistance for their needs.
    |
    |
    As the Jarl of Riften, I feel it's my duty to honor your selfless behavior by honoring you with the title Thane of Riften.

    [Person says they would be honored to accept]

    You've already taken all the necessary steps in becoming eligible for the title.
    |
    |
    Therefore all that remains is to bestow it upon you.

    [Person says thank you in response]

    (Smile)(Happy tone)(Laugh) I should be the one thanking you. You've solved more problems in the short time you've been here than anyone in my court has their entire careers.
    |
    |
    You've been a beacon of hope in these dark times for my people and I will never forget it.
    |
    |
    Therefore, by my authority as Jarl, I pronounce you Thane of Riften and award you all the benefits befitting your station. Congratulations.
