Fantastic! Lommy, still has to get in her secondary character that she wants. Legate, are you going to pick up a secondary character or are you going to stick with just Oin?

Well, the communication obviously ceased around the time when the Dwarves were wiped out Or attacked, for that matter. Obviously, because nobody knew about Balin's demise. The last words from the colony were that big labours began and such. Positive news. Boro's character - or so I understood it - would be just a messenger who happened to be around in the bad time, and ended up stuck here with the rest of us.

Well, if there is a possibility - I thought with the list being full, that's it. I would have taken a secondary character, but the other things is, we don't want a horde there (although there was a horde, of course). I pity a little Lóni and Náli - or maybe just one if Kitanna's going to take one of them - for when they are named, I'd have expected them to show up (although when I was thinking about taking a second, I would have had preferred another one, too - just because Oin himself dies earlier than most, too, so having only early-dying characters won't be that much of help).

Ilya has just left Hobbiton.
Shield

Very late to the game, alas. Is one of the secondary characters still up for grabs? I'd take Loni or Nali, since all the other spots are now filled.

If Ilya wants to take Loni and Nali I'll happily relinquish the role.

Bah, get over it.

I definitely would not mind to explicity give my female dwarf a beard. I only skirted the issue cause I wasn't actually sure if that was actually canon or not.

Yay, Boro! It will be great to RP with you again! And I really hope you can play, Ilya! I'd love to RP with you again

I'd also like to second Gwathagor's statement...this is lot of dwarves! I hope I can keep up with everyone...

Well, we can forget about having a nice small RPG here. I thought that we could have small RPG but noooo everyone had to get in on the fun! This is really fantastic, I never dreamed that Dwarves were such an attraction to RPGers.

Thanks for keeping that list up to dat Pio, and great job on your new characters Folwren and Kitanna. Nice job with sharing your characters I love it when people do that!

Bang on job with your character, yours is probably the most original out of all of them.

Very good point Lommy. I was also thinking that due to the similarity in names that they might be related. Like Fili and Kili, Loni and Nali aren't that much different when it come to pronouncing them
