NAME: Bragel

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: 13 / M / Human / Rohan

APPEARANCE : Small, almost emaciated. Fair skinned, blonde and blue eyed like many among the Rohirrim. Speaks Westron reasonably well, but the accent is there. Dresses rugged and practical, with tunic pants and boots that tend to be loose fitting. He tends to wear an extra layer of dirt as well.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER : Handles all sorts of odd jobs at the stable from mucking stalls to occasionally trying to teach ignorant city folk how to stay on top of a horse. When in the market, he is often looking to spot riders whose beasts need care before they get to the next inn up the mountain. His light weight and horse sense have put him on the edges of the horse racing set. Has not been in the city that long. Lacks some streetwise skill the local kids might take for granted.

Ang and Formendacil - Sorry to take so long to post! I've taken care of the lingering situation between the twins and the gentleman. So, go ahead and move time forward if you wish.

Blantyr - looking forward to running into Bragel

Galad55 - looking forward to meeting your character, too

I initially read this as 'emaciated.' I can't figure out which word you intended, since both work so well!

We'll be shifting to later in the Day today or tomorrow, but feel free to post any time you like.

I intended.... scrawny. I suspect that his role would fit vaguely near the 'apprentice' level. Technically, emancipated, but I'm not sure he would feel this would entirely be so. You know how adults are...

Formendacil · 04-20-2011, 06:15 PM

Well, the time-shift has been effected, and Captain Formy is now "out of sight" but hardly "out of mind."

Welcome aboard, Blantyr!

May I join? I know I've missed all the build up but I just read the actual RPG thread and it looks very interesting. If yes, these are the characters I was considering.

NAME: Eleth

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: She'd never tell you, but certainly well past middle aged/Female/Human/Minas Tirith.

APPEARANCE: Has clearly lived. There are lines to her face and a stoop to her back. She dresses simply but always in shades of dark grey or black. Of average height, somewhat wiry, with grey hair and brown eyes. Well groomed but drab. Will often be seen dozing slightly.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER: Husband and sons long dead. A daughter married off to a son-in-law she does not like but respects for her daughters' sake. Fiercely independent. Maintains a small stall thanks to the goodwill of her fellow marketeers - needed as she is rarely able to make it to the market early enough to stake her own pitch due to various aches and pains. Never parted from her companion -

~ ~ ~

NAME: Hil

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM?: 10/Male/Dog/Minas Tirith

APPEARANCE: Mid-size, dark brown fur. Paws and ears too big for his body giving him a somewhat comical appearance. Has no mark of ownership but is well groomed and well fed.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER: Adopted his mistress soon after birth, having been born in the street outside her home and left for dead by his mother. Is very protective of her as a result. His bark is much worse than his bite - indeed he has never bitten anyway. Spends his days curled up under the stall at the market watching the world go by. Loves to play with the youngsters but will not stray far from the stall.

Since this thread is picking up more players, I'm going to place a

*** PLAYER LIST WITH LINKS TO CHARACTER BIOS ***

at the end of post #1.

It will be a quick way to see what color the dogs hair was, the twins hair color, and other characters' quirks. And I'll confess - I'm lazy and hate scrolling through a discussion thread to find a character's description . . .

List will be up later this evening . . .

I'll add my thanks to Fea's for linking the characters, Pio.
