That's what I was thinking, and I don't think it's too nasty.... After all I don't think she seems to have much time for this, so she would probably not mind if we got rid of her character. It would be nice though if we could contact her.

Did you notice that you said "if she doesn't... killed his character"?

No I did not but actually Aganzir PMed me and complained of it so I was aware... but too busy to correct it. Anyway, I think it's quite funny, must be because her character is a male and I'm not 100% sure she's a she, you know...

Forest Elf has not posted to the RPG thread since June of 2007 - HERE .

She is now out of the game as a player. Please use her character as necessary to further the storyline, including killing the character if you wish.

I have PM'd her about this.

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

Here is her character's bio - please try to stay true to her depiction of him.

NAME: Grimbeorn Tinuviel

AGE: 23

RACE: Man

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Sword and he has a good shot with a bow and arrow, but prefers to use the sword.

APPEARANCE: Standing at 5'10 he would appear as a bit tall. His face bears a scar from just above his left brow that goes down his face, slanted, until it stops in the middle of his right cheek—a result of barely escaping death. His hair reaches down to his shoulders, and is a dark brown, almost black colored because it is so dark. His eyes are a light green, that once gave his face a cheery look, but ever since he had gotten the scar, they make him appear alert and dangerous. His clothes are that of a simple woodman's. He has a bit wild look about him, mainly from his scar upon his face. He also has scars on his chest and arms.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Stubborn and hard headed, this is not someone you would want to argue with, or have get angry at you. Not that many people would, mind you. His greatest wish when he was young was to be a ranger and he grew and became one. His temper is quick to come, yet it is also quick to fade away. He has a kind heart, yet isn't a softy either. He knows when to hold his tongue (even if he doesn't always do that), and he knows when it is fine to speak. He often pushes himself striving to protect those around him, or to set new challenges for himself. He can be foolish at times when he holds a grudge against another, or when betrayed. His memory is sharp, though, he strives to remember his childhood memories...many, or which he never will. It is hard to earn the trust of this ranger, because many of the memories he has are sad. He sometimes sees faces that are familiar to him, yet he cannot recall who they were, or what part they played in his memories. His decisions are usually quick and not thought through, which has gotten him into trouble countless times.

HISTORY: He does not remember much of his childhood, why, he does not know. What he does remember though, are the few memories of his parents is his mother, who died of an illness. His father left a few months later and was found dead in the wilderness. After that, he closed his heart to many. Once he was of age, he wandered from place to place, remembering his childhood dream, until he achieved it. He faced a small group of orcs, there were only four or five of them, and he attacked them after following them for a time. He managed to kill them, but nearly died from doing so. He would have died if it weren't for an old friend who recognized him and brought him to his home until he was of health again. After hearing of the killings, he traveled to Bree to find out what he can of the killings, and see if he can put a stop to them.

Ah, sorry everyone...I am so easily distracted by WW...when I wasn't constantly refreshing or posting on that thread I was doing school work...well, or sleeping...

I will get a post up ASAP to let everyone know where Parkun and Toby are. Toby will then be joining you at Edin's farm...

There have been a couple people who have posted on the "Newcomers" thread wishing to join an RPG. Does anyone think it possible to have them pick up abandoned characters? Of course, they would have to agree to that.

piosenniel · 03-03-2008, 02:29 PM

If you want newcomers to join your game I would prefer they come in with their own characters, rather than pick up other characters.

But if you really wish them to take up the old character - then go ahead and contact them and see if they are willing to do so.

What other players/characters need to be dealt with in this game, by the way?

Durelin · 03-03-2008, 04:01 PM

Yes, really I'd prefer that as well. Especially as new players (at least new to the 'Downs), they should have their own characters and not be trying to adhere to someone else's ideas.

Introducing new characters would be pretty insane, but I don't see why that couldn't happen. Actually, I just got an idea for that... I will post very soon, and after the group finds out about what happens in my post, they may very well wish to regroup - and pick up more people to help. So, insert new characters! I will PM you, Pio, in just a moment with details of my plan.

Players and characters that have disappeared:

(These have been (at least sorta) written out)
Farael - Madoc Hurnt
Newsman - Robby Twofoot
Crystal Heart - Eric Wadell

So all that's really remaining is Forest Elf's Grimbeorn. Writing one more character out shouldn't be too difficult, unless one of the current players would like to adopt him as a secondary character? (And Pio approves of this.)
