First, thankyou to all those who have joined, second, there are a few things I'd like to inform you of before I talk about your characters...don't worry, nothing
real bad! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Okay, me and Aylwen got into talking about this RPG at one point and she came up with something to smooth out the conflict with the tribesmen. You kinda wonder how exactly the tribe will split, so Aylwen suggested that the 'younglings' have already rebelled a bit against the elders, so when the 'party' comes, they will find a way to get away from the boring elders and traditional sort of lifestyle of the tribes and go to Umbar. They also get to slaughter the elders, which we be quite fun.
Also, if you have not noticed, I ask for two months or so out of you to play this game, when it only covers fifteen days. I wanted this game to have a lot with character interaction, since that can be quite interesting among baddies. Plus, this RPG can create a history/personality/lifestyle of the Haradrim, which Tolkien didn't really do. So, what comes out of this can be experimental and very creative. I am glad that you writers have already started being creative, with Arien adding her own touch to the Dark Citadel. I like it, Arien! I
really like what I'm seeing. And Lyra, you created a feeling found in most Haradrim, a connection to their nation. Quite exquisite! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And Aylwen has a basis of the tribal relations and a cool psychic thing with Sauron. Yep, yep. We are totally rockin! So, basically what I'm saying is that we're going to move at a real life pace, and I wanted extra time, and I want to make sure that everyone has the chance to post just to talk to someone or fight with someone, because I know many people run into trouble getting online (people have life outside of the Barrow-Downs, wow!) and only post at times when they feel they need to, like battles, because they can't catch up with the conversations and such. Yeah, well...long sentence, eh?
But, anyway...

Durelin, I know how you feel about female warriors, so if this is no good I'll do a male.

Hmmmm...yes, well...I do want to limit the number of females so we have a good diversity, both in the little company and from other RPGs. I ask all you potential joiners to, if you are going to be a member of the Dark Citadel, to be a male priest since we have two priestess already. Maybe he should be unhappy about that, also... And, if you're going to be a Haradrim warrior, I'd only like one or two more females, and I ask for the same with the tribesmen. I want people to try new things here, and create new things, so maybe you should play something different than you usually do. Just a suggestion, and, if more than three people
have to be female, I'm not
that mean.
Okay, now, just a couple of things. First, Arien, there's just one thing. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind changing your character just a tiny little bit. All you have to change is the word 'tribesmen' or 'tribe' because that's what we're calling those that live
way down south, who the Dark Citadel has never come in contact with. Everything else is fine. Lyra, you're looking good...and Aylwen, we already met Jasara.
Hmmmm...I wonder if my good friend Helky will show up...I hope not...I have permission to not accept people's characters... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
Oh, yes, good first posts everyone! That's really all I wanted, to give us an idea of what the character is like, and maybe a reason for you coming or whatever. When the RPG thread opens, we'll begin outside the Dark Citadel, in the courtyard, and will receive a blessing from the High Priest.
Okay. Thankyou for reading all this crap.
Oh, I forgot. Here is a link to a site on the Haradrim that I have based this RPG around. Just if you needed something for your character...
