I think people like to play characters such as elf maidens with uknown pasts and amazing sword skills because it makes them more interesting, though now that almost ever other character is like that it is getting a little pathetic. I'm being a bit of hypocrite here as I had an elf maiden with a forgotten past at the Green Dragon. I guess its a lot easier for those RPers who aren't very good writers or are new to RP to come up with that sort of character because they've seen so many examples of it in the RPGs.

Maybe its because these type of characters are so rare in LOTR that people want to explore them more. Plus, since there aren't many of them in the books they can be interpretted and written in anyway they want.
