 That's how it goes... Well, Nerindel popped in after a long while, like a wqeek ago, and sent the BIO of Balvir promising to write "when she could". The three were originally introduced and written by Nerindel, but Foley is right that especially Matrim has been kind of an NPC lately...

Good, thanks for your willingness to answer
 Well, it's all right then. I think the most problematic thing in these terms would have been to decide what kind of impression will the characters make on first sight on the others (we will know their actions, but we won't know e.g. what they look like, or so).By the way, it is by no means my intention to spam us with names, but it was just natural to add a few things like that as Hilderinc knows these men. And, of course, I wanted to illustrate a bit of the relationship between them. And of course again the knowledge of these characters can be used later as these "background guys". I hope the name for our "friend" is fine. I feel much better now. Yay, it's so brilliant to be posting in a thread which is moving!

A lot more people, well soldiers to be more exact, but with names!
All of them NPCs for the time being for anyone to use. Here's a shortcut to them... - Baldwic (son of Baldwin), 18 years, a kind of insecure young man met by Stigend. - Feargall, a bit more authoritative soldier, calm, collected, met by Stigend and Garstan. - Áforglæd, a young and impetuos soldier getting into a fight with Matrim. - Scyrr, a senior guard of Athanar's house, possibly a bit bad-temepered - or just straight with his opinions... Of the four I think we will be married with Áforglæd and Scyrr as they seem like Athanar's guard both of them (well Scyrr is actually said to be one). With the two Stigend and Garstan met we can decide - maybe a bit later - whether they were part of king Eomer's escort to the convoy or belong to Athanar's men.

And ha, good list, Nogrod! I think quite handy. Personally, I think that it is good to have at least some basic "types" in the background to use, like, if you need some random people to use in your posts, you can always pick some of those and they will have already a bit of personality behind themselves, and so gradually they may even develop more of it... and they might even become more "familiar" to us.
