Character Description Form: the man of Rohan

1.) Have you ever played in an RPG at the Barrow Downs? only the Green Dragon and the White Horse Inns

2.) How many RPG’s on the Barrow Downs are you currently involved in? does the White Horse inn in Rohan count? That's the only one.

Please note you may play in only 2 (TWO) Shire games at one time. Exceptions to this may be made for this on a case by case basis by the Shire Moderators. (The Green Dragon Inn DOES NOT count as a game for this.)

3.) Have you posted in The Green Dragon Inn – yes
_______________________________________

For your character please include:

NAME: Osric Falkur

AGE: 42

RACE: Men (Rohirrrim)

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: He carries a long sword and a yew short bow. He also has a dozen throwing knives hidden about his person.

APPEARANCE: He is slender and lithely muscled, with shoulder-length sandy blonde or light-brown hair and a well trimmed beard. He dresses for the most part when traveling in quiet earth tones, though when he gets the chance he may wear one of his many fancy embroided coats. He wears a light mail shirt under his cloak.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: He is objective to a fault, though he has a taste for flamboyant clothing. He is a highly skilled blademaster, quite an effficient marksman with his bow, a talented equestrian, suprisingly swift of foot, and possessed of an inordinate sinewy strength, but his greatest asset by far is his sharp wit. He considers himself something of an intellectual and at times may come across as a bit imperious. He will not hesitate to tell his opinion if asked, though he has the prudence to hold his tongue when neccesary.

HISTORY:He is a former soldier, so he is proficient with most weapons. As his father was a shepherd, he retired from the army and is now a shepherd himself. He instructs the boys in his vilage how to use a sword and is an officer of the provincial militia. He was once married, but his wife contracted a rare disease and died of it. At heart he is still grieving for her.

"I heard what you said to Aldor. Could I talk to you about it?"

The Elf turned on his heel smoothly. "Certainly" was his cautious reply.

"What manner of errand might you be running for King Elessar?" Tarondo opened his mouth, but the Rohirrim man cut him off. "No, don't bother answering. My name is Osric Falkur, and I was a soldier of Rohan. I am greatly indebted to your King, indeed with my very life, and would be more than happy to assist in your errand for the King, if my services could be of use." He spoke of King Elessar with a touch of reverence.

Alaksoron, thanks so much for your interest in the game. If you would, please rewrite your first post as was requested above under Characters Needed:

Quote:

1 Man of Rohan needed

Gives them additional news of happenings in the northwest, and decides to travel with them. NOTE: First Post for Man of Rohan – See Nuranar’s 4th Post for the Game for your lead in – you can offer the group your services and ask to go with them.

The man of Rohan joins Envinyatar's Ranger and my two Elves in Rohan, not in the inn at Tharbad. That is where the two Rivendell Elves join. I provided a very clear pick-up in my 4th game post. The man of Rohan has heard Tarondo speaking to the baker, Aldor, of their errand from the king.

Just continue the scene from there. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me. Thanks!

~ Nuranar

Thank you, Nuranar, for the help. I was'nt clear on that.

I'll get that fixed for you right away, and thank you. Hope you liked my character, this'll be my first RPG.

THIS IS MY REVISED FIRST POST FOR THE GAME, AS NURANAR REQUESTED

"I heard what you said to Aldor. Could I talk to you about it?"

The Elf turned on his heel smoothly, regarding the dark haired, muscular Rohirrim man facing him. My name is Osric Falkur." he said extending his hand. He did not wait for the Elf to take it before continuing. "What manner of errand might you be on for the King?"

Envinyatar · 08-23-2004, 03:06 PM

Welcome to the game, Sarin Mithrilanger!

Alaksoron, welcome also & thanks for your edit - we just need to give Nuranar time to read it.

Looking forward to playing with all of you.
