I was only kidding with the balrog,

But I had an idea of writing a back story for the easterling and how his family was slaughtered by his own clan over petty issues and vowed to fight against them.
In desperation to save his own life he traveled as a lone wanderer for 5 or so years he joined a few mercenary clans over the years but only stayed in each for a limited time before moving on.

DIGI you are thinking of Khim from my mod.
I created him specially for my mod

[DIGI_Byte]

Well at least you based it of something that wasn't complete hog wash, I remember you telling me of a dwarf who went rogue, I thought it was the same dwarf you put in.

@ Mike: That was Mim, not Nim.

@ Digi: My character is an Khandish guy who looks like a Gondorian, but is actually an assassin.

[mike_]

Yeah, that's right. Slipped up for a moment.

..and I'm still not too sure how that will work, IRS.

[Florisz]

So yeah...I'm going to change my guy. A lot. Like, name, sword, backstory...and so on.

Edit: so, here he is!

Name: Beradrin.
-Biography: Beradrin is a proud man of the Bree-lands. He is 25 years old. He has brown hair, it comes to his shoulders. His eyes are green-grey, and he is tall. He was born on the sixth of July, 2996, Third Age. His family on his mother’s side has lived in Bree and the surrounding lands for as long they can remember. The family stories tell that they lived here before the Numenoreands came to colonize Middle-Earth. His fathers side has been on the move for a long time. They started out at Framsburg, where one of Beradrin’s fore fathers came south with Eorl the Young, and he settled in Rohan. His family moved a lot since that day. To other regions of Rohan, to Gondor, and so on. Until Beradrin’s father fled Rohan with his family, afraid of the growing Shadow in the East.
Beradrin really loves to be outside. To hunt in the forests, fish in the rivers, feed the cattle in the meadow, or just simply read a book on a sunny day on a hill. Also, he loves to cook and make new bows and spears for hunting. He is a great merchant, he can get a lot of supplies for a lower price then it actually is…(may come in handy, not?)
Beradrin hasn’t seen a lot of the World, only the Bree-lands, a part of the Shire, a small region of the Lone Lands and the North Downs. But that will change soon…
Race.: the race of Man
Age: 25 years old
Physical Appearance and Notable Features: He is tall, has long brown hair till his shoulders, and green-grey eyes.
-Height: Taller then the common Man, but smaller then common Elf
-Weight: The usual for the race of Man.
Weapons:
-Ranged: A long hunting bow
-Melee: A spear
Allegiance and Kingdom of Origin: The Bree-lands.

Everyone is cooler than me
All I have is a pitiful hunting bow....and rocks
Lets get this thing started so We can get our swords

[Florisz]

You poor little Hobbit! Ah, well someone has to be the weak one. But you are a good minstil, I hope"? I wanted mine to be a minstril but this is cooler. Like an Elf in the body of a Man...

[Mathijs]

Very good Floris! Moderate and well-rounded.

[Florisz]

Thank you!

Alright everyone. The RP (which I'll now be referring to as 'In the Footsteps of Doom' (until a better name presents itself )) has been submitted and *should* be up tomorrow.

Now, everyone will have to resubmit their characters for individual evaluation - most are fine as-is, but more than a few have some 'rough spots' I'll have to help iron out on an individual basis. Sorry for the inconvenience, it's just how it's is



So yeah. Get prepared - Sauron's Eye is moving, and soon so shall we.


EDIT: Forgot the linkage here's the submission topic. Feel free to post up something (keep in mind; it must be worth posting (so no 'finally!!111!')) there if you want.

[Vortigern]

And here's the RPG itself. Mike, as you forgot to tell me what subforums you wanted, I decided to take a little creative licence. Anyway, it's up and waiting, all it needs is FZM to remind me how to make you and Matias moderators in it, because I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. Admin CP is way confusing.

[Florisz]

Looks cool!

Name: Lanathriel
Biography:
Born as the third child of the nobleman Imrador, Lanathriel has lived a life of comfort. Her father, as many others were in the port city of Dol Amroth, was a wealthy trader who made a living by trading exquisite weapons and armor to the ships that would dock in the ports.

Imrador had the least of expectations for Lanathriel, since he already had two tall and proud sons that would continue his legacy as a trader. Thus Lana spent most of her days lazing around the house, helping her mother with the house work and going to the market to snag some good deals. The most exciting events of her life would include getting vegetables for half their price or listening to the usual gossip of their neighbors. Life for Lanathriel was extremely dull. It was during this time that she took an interest in herbalism, studying a variety of herbs and their medicinal uses from the local market traders.

Finally unable to cope with the dullness of her life, Lanathriel implored her father to allow her to accompany her eldest brother on a trading trip to see the world outside. After much conflict and arguments, Imrador finally allowed Lanathriel to join her brother, seeing as there's not that much harm in allowing her to learn some trading skills. Who knows? Maybe she'll provide more revenue for the household.

Race: Daughter of the princedom Dol Amroth.
Age: 21
Physical Appearance and Notable Features: Lanathriel is easily distinguished by her gray eyes and her pale skin that contrasts with her black hair. Some has described the noble daughter to be a like a light gentle breeze that floats by the city with grace. Her figure is slim and delicate in every way, showing no signs of labor at all.

Height: 5'3
Weight: Lana's weight is slightly lighter than the average woman, as she's never worked in her life to develop any muscle weight in her arms nor does she consume enough food to make her overweight.
Weapons:
Melee: Steel Gondorian Short Sword.

[Mathijs]

Sounds good to me, Lanathriel's youth reminds me of the girls often portrayed in Murakami novels.

So she's away with her brother... fine again, I mean there's the thing about women in Middle-earth not often doing things like this, but I'm not one to keep someone shut out from this for this reason. We can bend the rules no problem.

Will she be arriving at Archet? If so... I suggest waiting a little before introducing her and her brother... mike and I have something planned that should give you a great incentive to join the ''2nd Fellowship'', while at the same time getting rid of the 2nd character, her brother. You should wait until the RP topic (have you seen it? The RP is set up at the RPG Frontier) is far enough to be leaving Archet, and come in there. You'll see what I mean by the right kind of incentive.

Approved.

[DIGI_Byte]
