Rock on! I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....

Sorry, just kidding. Hey, just wondering. When this thing actually starts.

Crystal and others

This is just the list of those who have submitted bios and posts for Everdawn to consider.

Everyone still needs to wait until she's made her choices.

~*~ Pio

So we only have to wait for Everdawn?

..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ...... ..... .....

I can't wait to start - that is, if I get chosen.

The suspense is killing me!

By the way Everdawn, if you're waiting for Miaka to post, I talked to her yesterday, and she said that she wouldn't be joining us.

Ya, as you guys were saying, I can't wait to find out if I'm accepted, I like my guard alot!

REally? I like the 45 year old guard best, but as I'm also applying for a guard, I can't admit it or I might get rejected!

I like Ferethor too, but he broods too much, not my happy-go-lucky style. Even though he's my opwn character.

Eladain: Thats a pitty! Oh well.

OK guys, i know it's been like ive been driving a hot knife into your sides about this waiting, but im almost decided and The final list will be up in a while, i just need to chat with Pio on something...

But, you know, some wont get places ok, and i feel really bad about it. (Which is why ive been taking my time) All in all, it's about the characters which fit the story best, and i really love it that you guys chose this game worthy of your writing talent.

Thankyou
-Everdawn

This is the seventeenth time I checked this post today. I already wrote the second adn the third and the fourth chapter ^_^ WE call this rash attitude, in Korean proverb, "Starving for a week in anticipation for a feast, when it may be that you aren't even invited". A funny proverb.

But never mind - writing is it's own reward.

PS. twenty-second time.

This is my first RP game and I'm so excited. Checked first thing in the morning and I'm already having the BEST day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You too?

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well, that's fine. I'll save my character for whenever else I can find a use for him. If any cameos or something of that sort are needed, just call (in PM form, that is)
By the way, how often do new RPG's pop up around here?

W00t!!! I can't wait to get started!
Now to o re-read the bios of those excepted.

Kransha- Games come pu ever so often, you usually dont have to wait very long for one to start becuase a few are always close to finishing.

Ok guys, When Game opens, in going to have Maén get to an Inn around where she is, what you guys could do is set your character's affairs in order so that they might get to the inn in your next two or so posts. Of course Thegal's character wont need to becuase he is already at Lysia's house which is where Maén will take the party to get organised, and checked out by Lysia. An Aman wont have to worry about running into Maén, it's already done.

Sound Good?
-Everdawn

_______________________________________

For your character please include:

NAME: Aramir

AGE: 34

RACE: Human

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Has a Gondorian make longsword, as to fit in. He also has a dark knife, that he does not pull out often, as with close inspection, it would reveal to be Mordor make.

APPEARANCE: Tall, dark, and handsome, (literally) he tries to maintain a clean cut, ‘good-guy’ appearance, as to not be mistaken for his true self.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Maintains the image of a good guy, through and through. Has a personality that seems to attract most people to him. He is witty and charming… on the outside. Inside, he has a heart for evil, and he uses his people skills to twist people so that he can use them for his own gain.

HISTORY: Born to a Gondor man and a woman from the tribes of the wild men. The children of Gondor, because of his mixed blood never accepted Aramir as a kid. When a band of wild men attacked a Gondorian infantry patrol, his father was killed, as he was suspected to be plotting to take Gondor, with the family of his wife. His mother took him into the hills, where Aramir was taught by his mother’s brother to hate Gondorians, and, as they killed his father, he believed it right away. When he became an adult, he was sent into Minas Tirith, to spy, as he looked most like one of them, once he was cleaned up. Aramir stayed there, gathering intel, and boosting his social status with his newly found people skills. But, when his uncle, and all the wild men he felt loyal to, died, at Helms Deep, he didn’t know what to do, so he kept up his image, by even fighting with Gondor at the Pelennor Fields. He went with Aragorn’s army to the black gates, in hopes to join Sauron’s army, the strongest force against Gondor. When they fell, however, Aramir slunk back to Minas Tirith, always looking for an organized force against Gondor.

Aramir’s first post.

Aramir strode down the streets in his high boots, and well made clothes. Many people that knew him well, were waving, and saying ‘hello,’ as he walked, but he wasn’t paying any attention to them right now. He couldn’t care less about who they thought he was, he was not the nice, outgoing lord, that everyone thought. He had played them all too well, over the last ten 15 years, so well, that he had grown quite wealthy from it. But right now, he was his true self, he had heard that there was a group being gathered to go after some Guriel Il Galoth. Apparently he was a traitor to Gondor, and had killed many Gondorians in the war of the ring. Perfect, Aramir thought, if this Il Galoth is still around, and organized, it could well be my ticket out of this swelling mess of Gondor scum. I’ve been here so long that I feel as if they’re attaching themselves to me, like a mold, or a virus that is taking me over, I cannot stand this much longer!

The only person Aramir was paying attention to right now was the peasant boy who was leading him to a source of information on this Il Galoth quest. The boy turned down one last road, and went to a small tavern, and pointed to a table, where a scruffy looking man sat. “Thank you boy,” he said, and he dropped a silver coin into the boys hand, as promised. He walked over to the table, and sat down across from the man.

“What can you tell me of this Il Galoth quest?” Aramir asked, caring not for small talk at the present. “I don’t know nothing about no Galoth, or no quests, ” the man said. Aramir slid three gold coins across the table to the man. “Oh, yes, I know of that quest now!” said the man, his memory quickly returning. “Well, there’s a widow Il Galoth, trying to get some men together to find this Guriel fellow, who’s apparently a traitor to Gondor,” said the man. “Is this widow leading the quest?” asked Aramir, surprised that a woman was leading a journey like this. “No, no, she’s funding it for a relative of hers,” came the reply. Aramir relaxed, Good, it’s not being led by a woman. “Her neice, I believe,” the man said as an afterthought. Then again, it is. Aramir thought about it for a second, but then realized that he would not get another chance like this for maybe another 15 years.

He made up his mind, “Send word to this widow, that the lord Aramir, will join the quest, to rid the world of this traitor.” The man looked down at the three coins and toyed with them a bit. Aramir slid two more gold coins across the table. The man suddenly gained some energy, “Of course sir, I will get right on it!” The man got up, and left the tavern, walking quickly. Aramir slowly got up, and started walking back to his villa. He was back in his ‘regular’ mood, he nodded, and said a cheery ‘hello’ to those along the road that he recognized. He strode away down the streets in his high boots, and well made clothes.

Sound's good. Should I just not do anything till the party come's to Lysia's house?

That's a beautiful profile, SonofBombadil, even if it might not be used this time [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

thanks Aman, I wish I had gotten it in earlier, oh well, I'll try and use it somewhere else maybe. I just thought i'd post anyways

I guess I'll start working on my next post for when we're able to post then.

Hurray! I got picked!

So... All that's left to do for now is to bring Ferethor to the specified inn in two post's time? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Please remember to use this discussion thread for game matters only - take any personal matters to PM.

OK, Maén is going to rally everyone in an Inn which will appear in my post and from there she has to bring them all back to Lysia so that Lysia can lay some ground rules and they set out form there.

EDIT: Ive had a better idea. Maén will meet everyone in Minas Tirith, and Carathir will be sent by Lysia after Maén has left to mett her at the Inn with instruction.

For all the new gamers, let me clarify the Shire's view on using 'SAVE' in an RPG, from The Red Book of Westmarch:
_____________________________________________

Reasons for 'SAVES' in RPG's:

Often, writers, because of work schedules, or time zone differences cannot post when the majority of the other players are on. In order to keep the game rolling along, they will post a 'SAVE' when they note a part of the game they need to respond to. They can then make their posts when their schedules are free to do so.

Uses:

To provide an opportunity for the writer have a space where he/she can insert a post so that it will follow logically in the storyline.

Rules:

Keep the 'SAVE' option to a minimum. Don't use it for a crutch, thinking you will get back to the post later - this usually doesn't happen.

** 'SAVE's should be gone back to and posted on within a 24 hour time period.(& preferably less time than this) **

'SAVE's should contain a brief, even one sentence description of what the poster intends to post about.

Other writers are free to post after a 'SAVE' has been put on a space. It is the responsibility of the writer who has posted the 'SAVE' to work within the posts before and after it.

If you decide you are not going to use a 'SAVE', then it is your responsibility to DELETE it from the game.

Im really pleased with the way the game is going guys.

Just a few things in your last post Eorl, Miradir went a little "crazy" (for want of a better word) becuase it was his cousin who had betrayed them in Northern Ithilien, (family betrayl and Kinslaying is not a nice thing!) Caradhras is a long way from Gondor to be fighting something in the war of the ring.

Other than that, keep it up guys! In my next post Maén will give details of her little expedition.

To give you an idea of what the first part of out Adventure is going i have the first part of the plan here.

Dont worry there are some surprises in store, which means you will have to react quickly... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 6:02 PM January 31, 2004: Message edited by: Everdawn ]

EDIT: oh yes.. and on another note: the ball went excel... oops.. I mean, someone else please post on the acual game, I was last post, so I can't post again, but I'm sure it's been more then a day. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I have a post, it's sort of a flashback leading up to how Delphinous got to Minas Tirith. Hopefully it'll be up by tonight.

P.S. it's "most fun", not "funnest"

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 1:01 AM February 01, 2004: Message edited by: Eladain Moruviel ]

IM working on a post now, so it should be up in a few hours, basically becuase im doing research for my formal dress at the same time, i get preocupied... IM on track now though!&gt; now that i have my shoes that is!

Eladain: Are you going to meet up with us on the road? Or would you like to come ot the inn as well? EDIT: OK i just read you last post... ignore me, im blonde.
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thengel: You can come from Lysia's now if you like!

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 2:03 AM February 01, 2004: Message edited by: Everdawn ]

I'm already at the Inn, in my post you told me to come with you and the others so that you could explane to us what was going on.

[QUOTE]After what seemed like an eternity, a redheaded lass walked over to him and motioned for him to follow her. He stood up and stretched nonchalantly, and started to follow. “So tell me lass” he said as they walked,“you must be Maen?”[QUOTE]

My last post was a flashback kind of telling more about how Del found out about Maen.

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 1:41 AM February 01, 2004: Message edited by: Eladain Moruviel ]

I see how i got confused, i thought you were then meeting with Crystal, becuase Maén has Bright blonde hair. Not to worry, is that everyone there?.. Yes, ok still writing post..

ah, sorry. I'll go change that.

Changed my poast so it read "barren land" instead of Cahadras the cruel, geography has never been my strong point.

So, is it OK then?

Fantastic!
