_______________________________________


For your character please include:

NAME: Melen

AGE: 458

RACE: Elf

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Long bow, long sword (called Remil), two sleek daggers.

APPEARANCE: Tall and agile, black hair down till shoulders, a cute youngish face which has a never ceasing smile on it, sleepy eyes and doesn't seem to be that well built.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Happy-go-lucky elf, rarely concerned about the problems of the world or even of his own home. He prefers the finer things in life, like food and drink but whenever theres any hint of a fight he isn't the type to back away. He prefers to use speed and strategy rather than brawn to win his battles. If its a fight in a small enclosed area with not much foot room, it would be unlikely of him emerging as the victor but that doesn't bother him much since he prefers not to think at times. He is still young going by elf standards and often gets himself into rather ridculous situations but thats where he relies on his quick wit to save him unfortunately for him its often strength thats his undoing.

HISTORY: He was the only child of Aldora and Ernaster. His father, Ernaster, died when he was but an infant of seven. His mother raised him with great love and affection. His agility came from the mothers side of his family and his wit and logic from his fathers. He ever really worried about much in life and never really did have much to worry about in the first place. He has never been in any big battle except for the time when he and some of his friends staged a fake battle for their own amusment.

Sleepy Ranger's post

He had been trying as hard as he could to listen to what Tharanduil was saying but his attention kept being drawn away by something. Sounds like there'll be a fight. If there is I don't see why I won't be there. He looks hard at Tharanduil not really concerned about the spiders or anything else for that matter.

I wonder if there will be a feast before we leave or if we just leave right away. His fingers were toying around with the hilt of his sword. Hmmm...Ale...don't mind if I do. He gets himself a mug and drains it in one go. Maybe now I'll pay attention.

He looks at Tharanduil again, trying his best not to scream out that they should meet them head on with a large army. Well whatever happens I'm in. It'll be fun after all. The smile that was always on his face was still there and he seemed a bit more happier than usual, the thought of going into a real battle was rather exciting for him.

Witchie, Hookbill, and Sleepy R -

How about giving yourselves sidekicks to carry along with your characters. No need to go into a long character description -

Just:

NAME

AGE

WEAPONS

AND A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES

These are the sorts of characters you can use for dialog if you need it or have them killed etc . . .

EDIT: Thanks, Hookbill ~*~ Pio

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Alright, seeing as how everyone will bug me till the end of days if I don't...
Side kick for Taurthol:


NAME:
Tâlmor (Dark foot)

AGE:
523

WEAPONS:
Short sword, Bow and quiver. One large shield and a small knife.

A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES:

He had a large pack on his back (Sam Gamgee esque), a Dark blue tunic and cloak, and sturdy boots. He has long hair that often gets caught in is eyes. He is not a very good shot with the bow and arrow. He as one finger missing on his left hand as he had a mishap with a knife when he was an Elfling.

[Sleepy Ranger]

NAME- Berkengrond (I doubt you'd have allowed Donkey or Puss in Boots )

AGE- 501

WEAPONS- Crossbow and a broadword

AND A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES

Has a rather pointy nose and a curved mouth. His indebted to Melen for saving him from a spider long back when Melen had recieved his first bow. (Melen prefers keeping it secret that he had been aiming at a tree and he accidentaly hit the spider which he hadn't noticed.) Ever since then hes been Melens best friend and the two are rarely seen without each other.

Hope that'll be fine.

[Witch_Queen]

Pio,

Being the crazy one I am and since everyone else is having a carry along/ side kick, why not. The only thing is I think I'll be the odd ball. Give me two side kicks.

NAME Uragonia

AGE 1369

WEAPONS: He carries with him always his bow. Only when he is concerned about running out of arrows does he carry his sword (which is always).

AND A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES
He has blonde hair, which he got from his mother. Under his left eye is a scar from a sword fight he was in when he was younger and more naive.

Number 2

NAME Runia

AGE 578

WEAPONS: He has his twin swords and is bow. Always attached the his back is an extra quiver of arrows.

AND A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES
He has dark hair down to his shoulders. He always keeps it pulled loosely back behind his head. He always fearing that he will loose what hair he has in a battle.



Pio,
I hope this is good enough. I will PM Hama and anyone else I can think of. I will probably have Hama PM me his post (in case he isn't able to put it in). Anyways after Hama posts and any one else that may be interested. I say Monday open the RPG.

Any objections let me know. (This goes for all participants so far).

Everyone: I am really looking foward to getting this started. The sooner Hama posts the sooner the game begins. I hope its as promising as I believe.
