Favorite Roleplaying Characters! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Encaitare · 11-23-2006, 01:28 AM

My favorite character of mine was Wilhelmina Brochenbach from Assigned to Mordor... my favorite character someone else wrote is Primrose Bolger's Sassy Brandybuck from Sailing Away. I remember Prim wanted us to leave her character alone so she could work on her own storyline for Sassy, and it turned out very well (if sad). Oh! And Firefoot's Grimkul and Ulwakh in Red Flows the Sirannon were two really nifty characters as well.

From my first experience of BD roleplaying from the Green Dragon I remember Lommy's enigmatic Grimhorn the Beorning with great pleasure.

The Fellowship of the Fourth Age contains a host of great characters. Durelin's Khamir and Firefoot's Johari are so angsty and complex personalities (also in a sense of having complexes

) that it almost feels they must be real. I have also enjoyed playing with Regin's Ishkur a lot.

In Eorling Mead Hall there surely are remarkable people too. Somehow and for some odd reason I love Jenny's patronising Marenil and Celuien's children are also a great fun. Lmp's lord Eodwine and Fea's Saeryn are life-sized persons, written flesh and bone.

From my own characters I still remember Sythric with warmth, although as he appeared in the first actual RPG I played through (Outracing the Flames) I may have somewhat twisted judgement on this. You know the magic of the first time... Hadith (FFA) I'm slowly getting used to and there is some promise in him to become an interesting person. But that's quite open yet. And Cnebba (EMH) is just so much fun to write - even though he is a shared character with Lommy.

But Fordim, please don't have the RPG thread open until the Christmas holidays, or I may burst with work...

But hey, while we're at it, what about old Toby Hornblower, Snaveling's partner in crime? Where's Kransha...

My beloved partner in crime and rpg-ing disappeared from the Downs about a year ago if memory serves. That was a truly sad passing, as Kransha and I rather shadowed each other through our first RPGs....I'm fairly certain that we each of us played in every game together.

Toby was a particular fave, and if I do put together a Green Dragon rpg he would have to figure in it somehow since, as memory serves, he actually gave Snaveling a house in the Shire for his very own.
