Have you posted in The Green Dragon Inn or in The White Horse in Rohan? – YES – Which one? Both

For your character please include:

NAME: Airelómë Firith

AGE: 1867

RACE: Silvan Elf

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Airelómë has a long, slightly curved sword with fine lines running down its flat representing vines. He also likes to carry a medium length bow (about half his height) carved from ash. In his belt he has a long dagger, which he normally uses for carving extra arrows.

APPEARANCE: Medium length dark golden hair. It is quite often plaited at the sides to keep it out of his grey eyes. He is of average height and wears dark greens and greys so that he can hide easilly in the darkening Greenwood. He is sometimes seen frowning, thinking about the evil growing, but it isn't something he often does. Airelómë is a swift runner and a good climber.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Airelómë has a lively character when amoung friends, but can be very solem at times. He is extremely kind and cares deeply about his friends and their safety. Airelómë smiles most of the time as he is always cheerful, as long as nothing is troubling him. His strengths are his ability to make friends and protect them at his own cost, but he trusts people too easily. He is often taken in by people's lies and it has got him into trouble on more than one occasion.

HISTORY: Airelómë grew up in Greenwood and became part of the guard when he was still fairly young. However, he soon decided the guard was not for him, and gained permanent leave. He learnt many fighting skills when he was in it and now that Greenwood has begun to grow dark, he is using the skills to kill anything evil he encounters, if he can defeat it. His parents are connected with the trading between Greenwood and surrounding areas, but have little work now because the free peoples of Middle Earth are being to want nothing to do with Greenwood. Airelómë has often wondered what is causing such a fair place as Greenwood to become so dark, and wants to find out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Airelómë sat in a tree, a breeze blowing through the leaves causing them to make a sweet rustling noise. He sighed. Things were getting so bad now in Greenwood that seeing elves out in the forest was a rare sight. Airelómë neatly re-did his plaits, which he had taken out, to stop his dark golden hair blowing across his face. He looked to his right and nearly fell out of the tree in shock.

"Seré," exclaimed Airelómë. "You climb these trees too swiftly and silently. What is it?" He added, seeing the expression on his friend's face.

"A meeting has been arranged. Ceros intends to stop this evil growing before it destoys us. It will be held soon, in a few minutes I think. I thought I ought to tell you."

"Thank you Seré," shouted Airelómë as he climbed down the tree. He ran though the forest as fast as he could, his feet carrying him more swiftly than they had in a long time.

Airelómë walked down the corridor toward the meeting hall. The growing darkness needed to be stopped, and when something was done he wanted to be part of it. He didn't just want to be, but felt he needed to be part of it. Perhaps it was because his parents were loosing out on work now there was less trade, or perhaps he just wanted an adventrue, but he would help in whatever way he could.

As he entered the hall, he realised he was late, as per usual, and quietly sat at the back. Ceros, an elf Airelómë had seen and heard of but never spoken to, began talking and Airelómë listened intently, suprised when several elves interupted. When he heard that the company was to only be of nine elves, Airelómë knew he must join. He rose at the end of Ceros's speach and said what he had to say, though he had heard elves say it would be dangerous.

"Ceros," he began. "I am Airelómë Firith, and I will help you. But where will the quest lead us? Where do you think the darkness arises from?"

Ceros explained to everyone that their journey would take them to the southern parts of Greenwood and back again. He also said that both male and female elves were needed for each is skilled in their own way. Missing elves were mentioned, which Airelómë had heard before, but he had not heard which elves until now. Though he was not familiar with the names, they were elves all the same and needed to be found. Airelómë would not let the thought that they could be dead enter his mind.

"I too will join the company," Airelómë said after seven or eight others had.

Sorry it's short. I'll try and add somemore, but I wanted to get it done before I went offline so I'm in with a chance of joining ^_^
