Welcome, Groin

.
Guys, I know that I haven't done much for the game lately, but now that I've got used to univeristy life and everything no longer seems so new and frightening, I'm back and I promise to be more involved.

Groin Redbeard · 11-21-2007, 12:25 PM

Thank you all for your kind comments!

Hope you like my character.

Name: Gorin Redbrow

Age: 45

Race: Dwarf

Gender: Male

Weapons: One single handed battle axe, two small throwing axes, and one dwarven made oak shield.

Appearance: Gorin stands 4’2 feet tall with dark red hair and beard; relatively skinny for a dwarf. He is a broad shouldered, and wears a chain mail shirt.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: A quiet type of fellow, Gorin seldom speaks when he is with a group. He likes the solitude of the wilderness, but will join with anyone who is on looking for excitement. Due to his solitude, Gorin has grown accustomed to traveling at night, and is considered unstoppable when he is on the hunt. He is an extraordinary tracker, but not an extraordinary fighter.

Groin often gets into arguments with other people and uses a twisted, and some say, illogical form of logic. He will tolerate any opinion so long as it doesn’t interfere with his own. Somewhat of a bigot, Gorin despises women, but won’t openly admit it.

Gorin has made few friends since he left the Glittering Caves. He believes that his friends should be well tried before he gives them his trust; he would do anything for a friend. His motto is: “A friend to all is a friend to none.”

HISTORY: Gorin was born in the dwarven colony of the Glittering Caves. He was stern and mellow even as a child, and when the time came he left the colony with his only friend, Tro’r Worbleblade. Tro’r left Gorin when he decided to go back to the colony and marry a dwarf, whom he loved. Gorin then traveled to the northern regions of Arnor, where he found few people and much danger, just how he likes it. However, Gorin decided to travel south to the village of Bree, where he could relax and rest for a couple of days.

Looks great, Groin!

How will Gorin be met and taken along? Do the other characters just meet him the woods or something?

Who's going to post next?

Groin Redbeard · 11-22-2007, 09:29 AM

Thanks for your approval Thinlómien.

I will have Gorin camp around two miles or so on the outskirts of Bree, planning to enter the town sometime during the day. If the adventurers are off before daybreak, or early morining they can run into him.

I would to do the next post and introduce my character. That is if it's all right.

I think it would be nice to have a sort of recommitment from those who are still willing to actively participate in this RPG. Having never done this before I don't know protocol on this but personally I feel a bit lost on what the next move is going to be mainly because I don't know who is active or not.

So I am active and wanting the game to progress.

Thinlómien · 11-26-2007, 12:59 PM

That is a good idea, morm, even though it makes me feel quite dreadful, because inactivity in RPGs seems to follow me like a plague.

But yes, I'm still in and willing and able to participate.

Still in, and should be able to post regularly.
