I plan to but I may need a small period of grace. I have a character in mind and will have her arrive ASAP.

It's okay, just take your time. I'm in no place to rush, either, coming onto finals as I am.

I'll watch the thread a little bit before I join in again.

Mithalwen · 12-13-2010, 05:57 AM

OK I should be able to post shortly

Ghan, maybe you might like to take a look at the earlier pages where there was more going on and several really skilled and generous RPG writers at work to get a feel of the place at its best.

Ghanberryghan · 12-28-2010, 01:30 PM

I shall do that

Here are two characters I hope to soon bring to the Inn.

NAME: Iris Puddifoot

AGE: 67

RACE: Hobbit

GENDER: Female

WEAPONS: Whatever might be at hand – a frying pan; broom; cleaver; turning fork; her walnut walking stick; her quick, sharp tongue

APPEARANCE: 3’3” tall; sturdy build. Brown eyes; thick, brown curls usually restrained by a bright yellow scarf. Usually found wearing a dark green skirt, white blouse, and over all a bib apron of some flowery print with big pockets.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: A no-nonsense, practical person at first take, but beneath this exterior runs a quite fanciful, romantic streak. Has a good sense of humor; a soft heart, for the most part. Loves to cook; runs her kitchen with a firm hand. Loves to garden – her kitchen garden of vegetables and herbs is her pride and joy. Has a particularly dim view of the slug population and has waged many a battle with them in defense of her beloved plantings.

HISTORY: Youngest daughter of Odo Noakes and Lavender Chubb Noakes originally of Pincup. Has three older sisters and two older brothers – all of whom are married with families of their own. She, too, was married - for five years to Anson Puddifoot (he was killed when the big wagon he used for hauling lumber slid off a steep embankment and crushed him). Iris and Anson lived in Woodhall and had two children: Betony, 34; lives in Woodhall & married to Carl Cotman - Hob, 35; also lives in Woodhall & married to Bella Goodchild. She has three grandchildren so far – Betony’s daughter, Buttercup 1y/o; Hob’s son, Anson 3 y/o & his daughter, Ginger 2 y/o.

Has a shaggy-haired, roan pony named Velvet.

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

NAME: Penstemon (Penny) Noakes

AGE: 30

RACE: Hobbit

GENDER: Female

WEAPONS: No weapons as such; is quite adept with her little sling and can bring down a rabbit

APPEARANCE: 3’5” tall; coppery curls; hazel eyes.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Friendly; independent of mind; adventurous; curious - sometimes too much so

HISTORY: One of Iris Puddifoot’s young cousins from Pincup. Caught a case of ‘itchy-foot’, or so her Gammer says, and persuaded her family to let her visit Cousin Iris. Her Gammer would be clucking her tongue had she known Iris and Penny were now traveling about, seeing the sights of the East Farthing.

Oh! Exciting!! I hope this game comes alive soon!

NAME: Aeron

AGE: 35

RACE: Man, of the Dunedain

GENDER: Female

WEAPONS/EQUIPMENT: A longsword, Maple recurve bow and a dagger in her boot. She rides a painted (chestnut and white) stallion named Aergolas that she loves dearly. She travels lightly, only carrying a few ointments to treat wounds, a small tent, fire/fishing kit, canteen, a bedroll and traveling rations.

APPEARANCE: 5’10”, 165 lbs; slight muscles on her arms from using a bow for so long. Aeron has shoulder length straight dark brown hair with bangs that are side swept to the left side of her face. She has grey eyes and wears that of what a Ranger would wear; maille in under her green cloth tunic with the same colored leggings, made of a thick cloth. Over top of her tunic she wears a dark brown leather jerkin. Aeron also wears brown leather gloves with the same colored, 1 inch heeled, knee length boots. She wears a grey hooded cloak with the multi pointed star brooch (I tend to like to go with eight points) and a green mask, hood and mask always up and hiding her face.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Aeron is a quiet, observant woman; she looks upon the world with bright eyes, yearning to learn the lore that Arda has to offer to her. She doesn't have a lot to say, and when she does she tries to make it count. Aeron loves to meet anyone of a different race than her own, finding hobbits to be the most peculiar. She prides herself in being a good hunter and archer, seeing that as her strength. She also knows a great deal about horses, though she is not one of the horse lords of Rohan. Her weaknesses would be melee attacks (both offensive and defensive) and the lack of armour she wears. Her curiosity and yearning to travel to different places often causes her to stray from her duties as a Ranger, as well as the eastern borders of Bree Land.

HISTORY: Born in 2922 TA. Aeron's parents currently reside in the Angle south of Rivendell, where she was also born. Her father trained her to be a Ranger when she was at the young age of 15. She cannot trace her lineage back to any well known Dunadan, just that her ancestors moved from Annuminas when the captial fell to ruins, settling in one of the three divided kingdoms; Arthedain. Over time, they migrated towards the Angle where the remainder of the Dunedain had went to after the Battle of Fornost.

Daeradan, her father, is the Ranger that watches the Eastern borders of Bree Land in the Weather Hills (it also extends out a few miles past Weathertop).

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

Hope I did this right! I finally decided to try my luck at RPing here after lurking around.
