Hallo, I'd still like to join as an Elf if possible (I'm suprised you need some, usually they're overwhelming).
Name: Lanaey (if not elven enough, tell me)
Race: Originally from Rivendell, but left after the first war with Sauron
Age: thousands - no one quite knows
Description: Short for an elf, she comes to about 5'10''. Her hair is a light brown and constantly bound up in convenient manners for fighting with two ornate, slender hair sticks that have a hidden dual nature. When unbound her hair falls to her waist, almost. Her eyes are also of a light brown and usually have a guarded look about them. She wears Elven traditional hunting garb of muted browns, greens, and grays. Her cloak is usually a light brown, though occasionally she'll turn it around for the gray/green side. Living for so long she has long ago mastered most fighting skills; however, her favorite is the bow and her two long knives. On her person, she always keeps several throwing knives that are braced around her chest, with one in her boot. She only speaks when she feels it is something important, so normally doesn't indulge in idle chatter. She does give her horse, Drass (a warhorse of dark brown color and a gift from Rohan) many chats when they are alone. She is also exceptionally observant, but doesn't always share what she see's.
Background: As long as she can remember her Father taught her how to fight. Her mother had died in a raid while they were travelling to their new home in Rivendell and her Father felt that it was better that she knew how to defend herself, even if it was unorthodox. She had always loved the art and found nothing wrong in giving up the lady ways for the ways of battle. She fought in the first war with Sauron under Elrond. In the battle her husband of many centuries died. Griefstricken, she found no solace in her home and left, continually traveling middle earth. Her son, not wanting to leave Rivendell, stayed behind. She would come and visit him every 20-50 years, but would never stay for more than a few months. In the war of the Ring, she immediately started fighting and was in as many battles as she could find. Her son, who went to Helm's Deep, died in battle. Knowing only sorrow, she refused to go with the rest of her people. Currently she wanders middle earth, just fighting and living. She doesn't just fight for any reason, however, she will look at what is happening and decide from her own set of morals. Families and villages being attacked almost always get her. While passing through Mirkwood, she heard about the raiders and immediately went to Calembal.
Special features: She wears an intricate, thin leather band about her forehead and a small, mithril ear cuff that she never removes. She has several scares over her in various places, but one very noticable scar is one that runs along her neck and slants down to her collar bone, about half a hand in length. Though it is mostly hidden by her clothes and cloak.
