Ah, well. Maltheniel originally got green eyes as this was suggested by the Ambar Qenta role playing rules. Blue and green were supposed to be the most common colors among the Silvan. I asked the author of the rules where he got this from, and he replied the Middle Earth Role Playing (MERPs) variation of GURPs. Obviously, not canon. A token attempt to find a canon reference failed. I've no idea where MERPs got it from. Anyway, while she's visiting here, her eyes can be 'dark.'

Her unusual coloring does effect her personality. She is unusual enough among the Lindon elves that she became a bit of an outsider and rebel. This is deliberate. I wanted a few things in her background that justified a female elf mingling with other races.

Ironically, I originally put her birthplace in the Tower Hills as I wanted her personality influenced somewhat by hobbit culture. I proposed that she occasionally wandered into Westfarthing, and sang in various inns there. Alas, it was not to be. The game master forbade it. Elves in Shire inns are not canon.

Anyway, she's been in play with green eyes since late 2008, but I have no trouble tweaking it while she's in this realm.

Apologies about my silence; I've been very busy the past few days. I've read all the posts up till now, and I'll respond tomorrow.

The men and hobbits at the inn aren't getting a good impression of Elves, I see.

So I'm not quite sure on the rules of this game. How do I create a character? What can I do with it? Sorry for all the questions.

You might want to have a look at this handy character creation form. Hope it helps!

Welcome to the RP forum of the Downs!!

Please read through the Information Links for this Inn thread - HERE.

You'll find links there to the types of characters allowed in the Inn, where and when the Inn is, and the link to the actual Character Bio form for the RPG forum.

Also, take a look through the Barrow-Downs RPG Guidelines (in Roleplaying Rules and Resources section of this forum) - HERE - so that you're familiar with the general rules for RP'ing on the Barrow-Downs.

The Innkeeper for The Golden Perch is Folwren - feel free to contact her for any questions you might still have about playing in the inn.

Or contact me . . .

Hi, Glaurcrist! I noticed your return on another thread somewhere. I'm glad you decided to drop by the RP forums! I'm sorry I'm slow on the uptake of answering your posts, though. Looks like Pio and Nerwen have taken care of your questions.

As Pio said, you are more than welcome to contact me with any questions you have.

-- Folwren
