Hope this is ok. Mike already knows how I intend to get a new sword.

Wow, Mike! In two days you've got more action than I've got in two weeks for my RP

I might put up a Dalesman or a man of Esgaroth, but not yet. I'll put it up in the appropriate forum when it's created.

[Nertea]

Name: Ignir son of Harnasson
Bio: Harnasson was a dwarf of the Grey Mountains, whose hatred for Orcs led him to quickly join the hosts of Durin's folk in the War of Dwarves and Goblins. He was slain by the bodyguard of Azog near the gates of Khazad-Dum. Harnasson left behind only his son Ignir, who was more enamoured with the working of metals than the arts of war, though he harboured a great loathing for the Orcs for the death of his father. When the goblins began to infest the the Grey Mountains again, he moved his halls and house to the Ered Luin after a long trek that saw him look upon the halls of Khazad-Dum and dreamed the dream of truesilver. Passing through the Gap of Rohan he eventually moved though the land of Hollin, seeing in its pass the workings of the ELven-smiths and their strong friendship with his kin of Khazad-dum.
Once in the Blue Mountains, he carved out the halls of his house, which were by no means majestic but demonstrated the intricacies of his craft. Ignir became greatly skilled in the working of lesser metals and stone, forging weapons of great repute and fixtures of great beauty. He hungers however for some more fitting challenge, and to work truesilver as his ancestors once did.
Ignir is slow to anger, and is a shrewd prospector. When presented with a challenge he will asess it carefully before making a decision, as he has come to believe that the wars of Thrain were rash and his father rushed off ill-advisedly to battle. This caution is tempered by his lingering hatred for all things orcish.
Race: Dwarf of Eriador
Age: 219
Physical appearance, notable features: Ignir is short but well-built after spending a hundred years working steel and stone. His beard is long and elaborate, with plain but exquisitely crafted ornamentation - for each work of master craftsmanship he has produced he has added one small clip, braid or stud. He wears a dwarven travelling cloak, underneath this is a haberk of interlocking scale mail forged of steel and inlaid with bronze designs. The resot of Ignir's garb is leather and cloth, made for travelling and ease of use.
Height: 4'8"
Weight: 200 lb?
Weapons
Ranged: none
Melee: a long-handled mattock and a short, beautifully engraved hand axe
Allegiance and kingdom of origin: Allied to the Dwarves of Ered Luin

Still haven't decided what he would be doing around Rivendell, but I'll figure that out later

*Cough Archet Cough*

[Neutron4ever]

When are we going to start?
We've got tons of people now, I don't think we'll need an army

[mike_]

Going to wait and see if anyone else joins, then post it up in the Frontier and get the ball rolling.

Also, some things with pretty much all the characters will need to be ironed out, but I'll take care of that individually.

Before that though... if the Admin/Mod/Power-Abuser that Locked this Topic would please contact me and explain their reasoning, I'd really appreciate it

[Ring o' Fate]

(Loads shotgun)
YEAH!!

[Mathijs]

*Cough Archet Cough*

You don't *have* to start off in Archet, if Nertea wants to join the group by Rivendell, he is free to do so.

[mike_]

Yeah. But the most fun will happen around us, so...

[Florisz]

*Cough Archet Cough*

You don't *have* to start off in Archet, if Nertea wants to join the group by Rivendell, he is free to do so.

Oh, he means that! I thought he meant we were starting at Rivendell. Sorry for that.

Hm....My backstory is a little odd? I shall look to it again tomorrow...

[Neutron4ever]

Will we be goin' on like 'side-quests' or something (Like places in Middle Earth that the Fellowship didn't go to)
Or will we be strictly following the path of the fellowship

and will there be a 'splitting of the fellowship'? Like when we split up to follow either Merry and Pippen, Sam and Frodo, the Three Hunters

and will we be able to chose to...stay and defend osgiliath for example, instead of rushing straight to Minas Tirith

So many questions.....so little time....be back again later

[Mathijs]

Yep, you are free to go wherever you want, provided it will make for some decent RP. So going off alone for the rest of the RP probably isn't a good idea. Don't worry, I won't be sticking around everyone forever. I've got my own things in mind, not just follow the members of the Fellowship forever.

Mike and I have some pretty good ideas to stimulate these splits, you'll like them.

[{IRS}Athos]

But I would be stalking Aragorn the whole time, since my character is like that...

[mike_]

Yeah, that's one of those things we'll have to talk about personally later on

[DIGI_Byte]

I'm game...
Hmmm you left class options a bit open,

I wanna be a lesser balrog
If not I'd be a converted harradrim or easterling.

If the first one is not OK, Then I'll go with my second choice.

[mike_]

How about neither?

[DIGI_Byte]

How about neither?

naww why not?
If Tolkien had a dwarf convert to the easterlings side, why can't I have a character the other way around?

Edited by DIGI_Byte, 24 February 2009 - 04:31 AM.

[mike_]

It did?

Anyway.. until I finalize the details about Evil Characters, just make a Good one if you're interested. By that I mean an Elf, Man, Dwarf or Hobbit. Sorry to impose these kinds of restrictions, but it's just one of those things.

[DIGI_Byte]

He did, I believe there was 1 maybe 2 references of a dwarf who went rogue, I think Radspakr put him in his mod as well.

I don't know his name but i'm sure Rad can back me up with that.

[mike_]

There was Nim the Petty-dwarf, but he was fueled by hatred and jealousy of Beleg Cuthalion, fear of torture (both for himself and his only surviving son), among other things.

Regardless.. there were only one or two Balrogs left in Arda by the time this RP is concerned with, and they were sealed in the deepest roots of the Mountains, far away from any contact with anyone. And I severely doubt they were up to reforming their evil ways

As for the reformed Easterling or Southron... well, what would they be doing all the way in Eriador, and how would they have gotten through the bloc of Gondor and Rohan? I'm pretty sure they would have been executed on the spot under suspicion of treachery or being a spy.
