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.

2.)
3.)
4.)
5.)

Pio: I will do that. Lets see, I have decided that as the game progresses I will add in some other character, which are insignificant right now, these will be the others that fall or turn back. If there is any objections from you or anyone else, please feel obligated to let me know.

Hookbill, Sleepy, and Boromir: Its good to see that everyone has atleast one "sidekick". Everything is looking good right now. If you have any questions about Thranduil's character let me know. Don't be afraid to ask. After all when this is done with I can't wait to play in a game you have created.

1420!

I wish to add another carry-along if nobody minds, this way I can have a few people my character can have discussions with.

NAME: Targon

AGE: 5,682

WEAPONS: A long sword named Grambling. A long ash hunting knife.

INFO:
A Sindarin elf with long blonde hair. He steps into that "father figure/peer" role for Ercuion and Nefal. The worst of the three in Weapon skill, but what he lacks in fighting he makes up with wisdom and his ability to always say the right thing. Targon is a character Ercuion and Nefal often looked up to. Targon's only weakness, besides his fighting, is he's always along that "fence" he is never able to choose sides and is always trying to be the peacemaker.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT

I've put your additional carry-along on the Character List above.

1.) Have you ever played in an RPG at the Barrow Downs? – YES- Which one? Legacy of Traitors, Last Ride of the Heir, Bloodstained Elanor

2.) How many RPG’s on the Barrow Downs are you currently involved in? 1

List them, please: Seekers of Truth

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: Lossenfirithion, known as Firith to his friends.

AGE: 2000

RACE: Mirkwood Elf, Thranduril's nephew

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Finely detailed elven blade, about a metre long. A bow and quiver of arrows, expertly carved from a yew tree, and two long knives forged from blue steel.

APPEARANCE: Tall, even for his race. Long blond hair falls to about his armpits and he has light grey eyes. Normally wears mirkwood scout attire, a green leather tunic and leggings, leather bracers and a long, hooded cloak. He speaks very poetically and is a great charmer. His jaw is fairly chiseled and he has small lips, often thinning when angry.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Generally Lossenfirithion is kind, but he can be vengeful, and has been known to hold several grudges against humans for many decades, often content at just watching them die of old age while he remains eternally youthful. He is arrogant, being the favoured nephew of thranduril, and is excellent freinds with his cousin Legolas, though not nearly as skilled. He sometimes resents the way Thranduril compares him to his son, but loves his uncle dearly, and becomes furious when any danger is laid upon Thranduril.

HISTORY:

Born in TA 941, Lossenfirithion gew quickly, and soon won his uncles affection over his other nephews. He proved himself to be an excellent fighter and bowman in the scouts and quickly won himself his bride, Nevithhien. He loved and cared for her for years, and still does. He has had three children by her, a son and two daughters. Thranduril recently commended his efforts in a border skirmish with the orcs.

Lossenfirithion looked around at the elves gathered in the great hall. As Thranduril finished his speech the elves raised their swords in a cheer Firith smiled and raised his, crying out "For Mirkwood!" at the top of his voice. As they began to exit the hall, Thranduril stopped his nephew with a hand on his shoulder. "Nephew, this will be dangerous...I do not want to put you in danger, I do not want to lose you." Firith smiled widely. "And I don't want to lose you, uncle, that's why I'm coming. You don't think I'd let you go off and risk your life without me do you?" Thranduril's face appeared strained. "Firith I love you more than any of my nephews. You are one of the best fighters we have here only-" Firith cut him off, "Not as good Legolas." he finished his uncles sentance. Thranduril smiled warmly as a small tear trickled down his cheek. "In some ways, Firith, you are as good as Legolas, and in others better than him...Its not fair to compare yourself to him all the time. Legolas, as my heir, needs to stay here and keep order while we are gone. He cannot come. Yes...Firith I need you with me on this." Firith smiled and patted his uncles shoulder, "I'll go and get ready."

Back in his room Firith pulled his leather tunic over his shirt and buckled it. He looked at himself in a mirror, a gift from his uncle. He smiled again. Yes, in some ways he was better than Legolas, but not in many. This was enough to comfort him as he tied his bracers onto his arms. He drew his sword and balanced it on his finger, throwing it up and catching it by the hilt, then swiping at a dummy he kept there. The head flew off, covering the floor with straw. Sheathing his sword he picked his bow and arrows off the wall and slung them onto his back, going back to the great hall to join the others...

Hama

Do you want to put up a short bio for a carry along? A lieutenant of your general's perhaps?
