Oh, thank God I got here when I did. Ok, I haven't posted in any RPG for a while because I was waiting for certain things to hurry up and get over with so I would have more time. But now I have plenty of time and I was wondering if I could play the other male Rhûn character.

For your character please include:

NAME: Narvi Silverfist

AGE: 103

RACE: Dwarf

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Skilled with a bow. Uses an axe for close combat.

APPEARANCE: The picture of a true Dwarven warrior. He is tall for a Dwarf, with well-trimmed black beard. His dark brown eyes add grimness to his stern countenance. He is strong and lithe of limb.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: He is grim to look upon, but Narvi is one to enjoy good company. But one must not cross him - his anger is explosive, and he will not stop until a foe is down.

HISTORY: Narvi son of Gimli was born in the Lonely Mountain. At a young age, he has shown skill for hitting a mark at any distance, earning him the attention of the king's elite company of archers. Once he was of proper age, he joined the said group, and showe his prowess during the Battle of Dale, when the company defended the rear of the remnant of Dain and Brand's shattered army's retreat to Erebor.

Narvi had received a letter. It told him of an expedition to Rhûn. Rhûn. A fitting name for a place little-known.

"Father," said he, "read this."

"Rhûn," Gimli said after setting down the missive. "I have heard of it in the writings of Baren Longhelm. A place full of riches, they say. This will be a journey any Dwarf will desire."

"Maybe," answered Narvi.

"I feel doubt in your words. Why is that?"

"This is a journey for miners and craftsmen, not one fit for a warrior."

"Ah, but the war is over. Peace now reign in all the lands. One must find new things to explore. Either you go, or you marry now."

"I am not ready for that." He sighed. "Very well. I shall go."

"If only I were a hundred years younger..." Gimli said.

Sorry if it took me awhile. Here's the profile for the travelling dwarf:

Im currently involved in the 'Last Hope for Moria' RPG, and yes, I have posted at the Green Dragon.




Name: Gortek Mad-Eye

Race: Dwarf

Gender: Male

Age: 202

Description: Gortek is well muscled and short in stature, as are all dwarfs. His skin is taned and his beard and hair are a light brown from all his time spent outside. A crude eyepatch covers his left eye, a memento from one of his many deadly adventures.
He wears brown boots, black britches and navy blue tunic over a white shirt. His hands are encased in gloves made of fine, but worn, leather. A woolen, grey cloak is wrapped about his person, avid protection against harsh weather.

Personality: Mad as brush. Gortek is usually very good-humoured and friendly (if somewhat odd), but can fall into bouts of screaming rage or cynical depression. The most usuall cause for this is the lack of trust other people place on him. He is allway ready to exploit any opportunity promising riches.

Weapons: From Gortek's belt hangs his most trusted weapon, a short and sturdy sword wich can be used for a myriad of purposes. He also keeps a long dagger stuffed in his left boot, and three throwing knives of an odd design are kept in the belt crossing his torso over his left shoulder and under his left arm.

Character Strengths/Weaknesses: Years of wandering have left Gortek with the skill's necessary to survive in the wilds. His outdoor experience combined with the long memory customary of the dwarf race means that he has a good sense of direction, and has up to this day never gotten lost. He has also gotten used to the harship of the world, and is skilled in the use of his weapons.
All the years of wandering have taken their toll, though. Too many perilous situations combined with the baking sun's effect on the dwarfish mind, have left Gortek quite mad. Once in combat, forexample, it is near impossible to restrain him.

History: Born in the Iron Hills to a small and peacefull dwarf clan, young Gortek's childhood in the mountains was unbearably dull. When he came to be of age, he ran away from his home, embracing the exciting life of an explorer.

Dwarf Traveler
Will Witfoot - Outdoor skills, eh? We can use those in Ruhn.... Accepted.

Elven Traveler
Elentarimir - Accepted.

To Those Playing the three travellers.

You do not need a first post. Your first post in the game, however, should be about travelling in the area between Ruhn and Erebor. Perhaps you could meet each other on the way, in order to familerize yourselves with other characters - and then meet the dwarves as a group.

Saraphim: Sorry, but the ranger position has already been taken. You can still play a male dwarf.


All Positions Are Filled Except for 6 Male Dwarves!

Himaran

[bilbo_baggins]

No Problem, Himaran!

Arasiniel (cont.)

Arasiniel, or Aras, has dirty, road-worn clothes. He has a wide, dark cloak to be used as a sleeping cloth if necessary, with a hood. Under that, is a tunic woven by the old Dunedain before the Reforged Kingdom. He always wear his weapons over his tunic yet under his cloak, if he is wearing it. His sword belt also keeps his tunic gathered. He wears no armor, whatsoever, being careless and knowing that his time will come and no armor would stop it.

Arasiniel is quiet and withdrawn. He is not prone to enjoying others company, so don't approach him carelessly. He has given his love to a Dunedain woman, who is meant for someone else. He has been wronged ever since he was born, making him rather wary around others of his kind.

Is this enough, Himaran? I don't know much about 'defining characterisitics.'

[Himaran]

Bilbo_baggins: That will be fine. You are accepted.

Six Male Dwarves are still needed/
