Javan's bio looks fine to me. It'a a concise little picture of him that will be helpful for a fellow player to read and get the flavor of the character.

This seems to be moving along nicely. Great!

I will post a bio for Modtryth later today.

What about Celuien's characters? Should we who carry them along write something for then or leave their character descriptions be until Celuien pops in for a visit? She's my friend in LiveJournal, should I try to contact her that way?

I just skimmed through the Scarburg Meadhall thread and it made me feel a little guilty... how on earth have I not had "time" to write for such a long while?

Well, I'll write as soon as I do have time, but currently ww game, a pile schoolwork and a nearing exam week are keeping me busy... Maybe I'll have to take a nice meeadhall pause someday soon...

Also, I know a couple of writers I'd like to invite to the Meadhall. So in case I manage to send PMs to them and to convince them, be ready to see a couple of new faces here soon-ish...

For Kara:

NAME: Kara

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: 20. Female. An Eorlinga. No fixed abode before the Mead Hall.

APPEARANCE: Not tall, probably around 5'4". Dirty-blonde hair, dark eyes. Not fan but a little wider than she perhaps should be due to the availability of food in a kitchen!

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER: Generally cheery and always friendly to all and sundry. Loves to be involved in what's going on but won't often offer opinions on it unless pushed.

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

And for Frodides:

NAME: Frodides

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: Ooh never stated I don't think, I would assume around 40. She's female. An Eorlinga.

APPEARANCE: Around 5'2" with darker hair starting to go grey. Gives the appearance of being little and a bit dumpy but when roused can appear alarmingly tall, especially to youngsters trying to sneak food out.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER: Has been at the Mead Hall in whatever incarnation for a long time and considers herself in charge of the important bits. She respects Lord Eodwine but just wishes he'd take her advice more often. She can come across as a crotchety old thing but it's a well-practised front and she has a heart of gold within, though you have to earn it to see it.

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

Hope these are alright! I will try to get a post on to the main thread tonight if we're alright to be posting there?

A suggestion: This is rpg is from the perspective of those living in Rohan. However, 'Rohan' and 'Rohirrim' and 'Rohirric' are Gondorian terms used by Gondorians to refer to the folk that dwell there.

They call themselves the Eorlingas; an individual calls himself an Eorling.

IF you want to try to give this as much of a feel of Rohan as you can, follow Tolkien's example.

Foley, 4' tall is really, really short for a 12 year old boy. Average height would be 4'9", I'm thinking.

Lommy, go ahead and contact Celuien and see what she wants done.

Kath, Eodwine being 41, Frodides would have to be older than that. My sense was at least 50, maybe closing in on 60.

Kath · 03-26-2008, 09:19 AM

Oops, you're quite right lmp, I'll go change that.

Are we allowed to post whenever our character bio is up, or should we wait for the Nogrod to go first?
