[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Oh, I'm joining.

As a bad guy (girl...whatever)

Here's my character profile:

Name: Dawnnamira Artanis Nerwen. ‘Dawnnamira’ was given to her by Samwise Gamgee, when he came to Rivendell. It’s a hobbit name. ‘Artanis’ Elvish, it means ‘Noble Woman’, and it’s her father name. (Given to her by her father at birth). ‘Nerwen’ Elvish, it means ‘Man-Maiden’, and it’s her mother name. (Given to her by her mother at birth.)
Race: She’s half-Elven. Her mother is of Lórien, and her father was of Gondor.
Age: She’s 1,769. She was born in the fall, at Imladris (Rivendell) on September 21st
Eyes: They change color, and there seems to be no notable pattern in them, (What color they change when) however, when she’s mad, her pupils glow red.
Hair: It reaches to her thighs; it’s midnight black, with dark, dark, red highlights. (The color of dried blood) It is mostly straight, but it curls slightly at the ends. She usually keeps it in a French braid.
Clothing: T-shirt, camo, with a backpack, usually containing herbs, and small throwing darts. Cargo pants, camo as well. She also wears boots. (She’s been a wanderer for about a thousand years.) She also has a cloak made in Lórien, A gift from her mother.
Personality: Dawn voices her opinion She knows when to be serious, and when to tease. Most people that don’t know her very well are inclined to think that she is a quiet, wise person, that normally keeps to herself.
Weapons: She carries two swords, (one at her left side, and one on her back), one dagger, (at her right side.) twelve throwing knives, (All poisoned, hidden in various places about her body, most of them were made by her father, and they are in a cross <†> shape), a long knife, (made by a friend of hers, it’s long and thin, designed for going through chain mail, it’s poisoned), and a bow and arrows. (A gift from Elrond on her 75th birthday)
Skin Color: Tan, due to the fact that she’s outside most of the time.
Body Build: Lithe, athletic. Similar to Legolas’
Scars: She has very many. Her most prominent one is a long one running beneath her eyes, and across her nose, it’s slightly slanted down. She earned it in a fight with Haldir, on the borders of Lorien when she was 1,225 years old. She also has a strange birthmark on her neck. It became her trademark, because it appears like a sun, just rising above the horizon. All of her murder victims had this mark somewhere on them. Her face is also branded with a White Hand, signifying her service to Saruman.
Jewelry: Dawn wears a necklace, similar to Arwen’s Evenstar, but in emerald, topaz, and sapphire stones. Her mother, who got it from Galadriel, gave it to her right before she left for the Undying Lands with Celebrían. She also wears a gold bracelet on her right wrist, with 8 white stones, and one emerald (In the center); it was a gift from a friend, Bethrael.
Biography: Dawn was born in Imladris, due to the fact that her mother was a faithful handmaiden to Celebrían. Her father was the youngest son of the Steward of Gondor, but when he met her mother, he left his father. She has minor telekinetic powers, and she can change the way people perceive things. She doesn’t know why she has these powers, but Elrond is inclined to believe that they’re a gift from Galadriel, who blessed her at birth. Dawn is a talented tracker, archer, scout, assassin, thief, actress, and healer. She was once part of an elite group of assassins, called “The Shadow Walkers”. She was, and is, a well-known assassin. She is artistic, but few people know that she is. All of Dawn’s friends consider her a trustworthy friend. They admire her for what she is, and also what she isn’t. Elrond, and Arwen raised Dawn, because her mother left with Celebrían, and her father died shortly after her mother left.

There. May I join?

[Cuthalion]

I wanna join but right know (well, in 5 minutes) I have to go make a class. I'll be back and join O.K.? can I? can I?

[Arwen Elf]

Yes! Both of you join, if you please! Dawn, that is a very impressive profile! Got a name for the evil hobbit? Group effort here!:whoohoo: *Does a funky jigish dance*

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

How about the correct hobbit spelling of my esspë? Donnamira.

I'm usually called Dawn, I hardly ever used Dawnnamira.

If we're talking male hobbit, we could use Bandoras.

[Gatsby]

alright... i'll bite... i haven't played a guy or an elf before so this should be interesting

Hadrim
GENDER: he's all man!
RACE:elf (Of imladris but has been spending a lot of time in lorien)
AGE: let's just say long enough
Apearence: Dark unkempt shoulder length hair, emerald green eyes that always shine with mischief, strong... he's a good looking elf... chiseled jaw bedroom eyes a killer smile... the whole nine yards

Skills: since he is extremely laid back but when provocted he has tremendous skill with a bow and a pair of long knives.

Personality: EXTREMELY laid back... rarely gets angry, finds practically everything halarious, especially elrond; but when things get serious enough he will as well.

Background: grew up in Imladris, he knows a great deal of the lore of Middle earth and it's people. His father who he is said to be exactly like in everyway passed to the gray havens and age ago but his mother remains. Despite his nonchalant atitude toward the world around him, earlier in his life he had been a great elven captain and fought for many long hard years and was very very serious... but about a thousand years ago he gave it up and weary of such a serious and pesimistic view of the world adopted a completely different personality and occupation... he traded in his sword for a paint brush and his scowl for a mischievous grin.

Random notes: considering looking for love... but like everything else he could go either way
is that cool?
out

[Arwen Elf]

To quote me, "Sweet"! I think the hobbit will be a guy. . .

[Cuthalion]

O.k. here I go..
NAME: Eriol, also called Elfwine, friend of the elves.
GENDER:Male
RACE: Man
AGE: Indefinite
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Black
CLOTHING:The only thing he always wear is his black elven cloak.The rest changes.
PERSONALITY: Loner by nature, Eriol has a very receptive and open mind. He can always be trusted in battle and in ordinary life.
WEAPONS: His weapon of choice is a long elven bow but he also carries two daggers and a long sword that he got from a dragon's cave. This particular sword glows red when in battle and it's called Arvedui as in the lost Realm of Arnor.
SKIN COLOR: Pale.
SCARS: One big one across his forehead gotten on a fight with a black dragon.
JEWELRY: Only a silver star on his shoulder which glows red along with his sword. Some say the glow is the reflection of the sword but the legend says it's the grief, anger and hatred towards orcs and evil men.
BIOGRAPHY: Eriol was found by the elves in the borders of Mirkwood when he was a baby and taken to Thranduil. The elven king felt somehow moved by this human baby and he raised him among the elves.In Mirkwood he learned his fighting skills and his love for the woods and all growing things. When he was mature enough, Thranduil gave him a star that was found along with him and told him that there was a possibility that he would be one of the Dunedain from the lost Realm of Arnor. Eriol travelled then to Rivendel to find out about his past. Three elves joined him on this trip. When they were crossing the mountains, Eriol went ahead as a scout and his three friends were ambushed by orcs and goblin-men. He went back and kill most of them but his friends were badly wounded.He took the three of them to Rivendel by himself but unfortunately one of them died on their way. In Rivendel he sat and remain silent for a week until Lord Elrond came to him and said "I feel your grief but it's not your fault that your friend died. You saved the other two instead and for that you shall have from now the Power of Healing". Since then he became a healer and a fighter in the woods of Mirkwood and although nobody told him about his past he no longer cares. For him, Thranduil is his father and the elves,his brothers.
CODE OF HONOR: Never let your friend down.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Impressive, both of you.

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and post. The hobbit's name will be Bandoras, unless someone suggests something else.

I can edit it if needed.

Edit: I request that no signatures be used. If you forget, I can edit it so it doesn't show up, but signatures are distracting when trying to follow a storyline.

Thank you. (You may notice that I've edited all the posts that are up now to remove the signatures.)

[Elbereth]

OK, what do you think? May I join?

[Cuthalion]

Nice :thumbs: . You can go now to the "Another RPG at WOTR" thread and read the story so far (it has just begun,so don't worry)

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Cuth is Right Elbereth, It's nice for a first time.

And once Algy, Fir and I get moving, you'll have lots of chances.

[Arwen Elf]

Umkay, I was wondering (and I suppose it to be my fault) if we could calm down the elf population for a bit. Those of you who have already joined as elves, I say:thumbs: . But anyone in the future, could we be another race too? Don't get me wrong, I love the elves:loveyou: , but one can have too much of a good thing! Anyway, thankee for joining!

[Elven Daughter]

Well, technically, I am an elf, but because i love you all so much, I'll use my other brand new character... Tah-dah (hehe)

NAME: Renell
GENDER: Female
RACE: Woman of Rohan (Half unknown heritage)
AGE: 19
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Tall and slender. Beautiful emerald green eyes and wavy honey colored hair that she usually wears loose. People in Rohan considered her a beauty, and she is as fair as a good number of elves, if not as beautiful as most.
CLOTHING: Light elf-like clothing, but made in the style of Rohan, always with a silver horse emblem embroidered somewhere on her outfit. She now wears a sliver elven cloak.
PERSONALITY: Has a knack for getting into trouble, but can (usually) find a way out. Has no problems talking to different people of different races (well, almost none...YOU try talking to uruk-hai and see how you like it...) Easily able to befriend civil people, but others take work. Outgoing and strong, but has a distrust she carries deep inside for almost everyone but her very closest friends, who are currently mostly elven. In Rohan she had a fair number of boys after her, but in Lorien she is shy with the elves, feeling certain they would prefer a pretty elf over her.
WEAPONS: Longbow and an elven broadsword
SKILL WITH SAID WEAPONS: She was trained well with a broadsword starting from a very ealry age, and when she was 15 she took up archery, and prooved better than her trainer after a year.
SKIN COLOR: white marble complexion (Like Eowyn)
BODY BUILD: Tall and slender. Very flexible and lithe. Almost as light on her feet as the elves.
JEWELRY: A small rearing horse made of mithril on a thin chain around her neck. Given to her by her mother before her death. Also wears a bracelet made of small silver links. A small, pure white stone hangs from it. Left to her by her father, whom she never knew.
WHAT THE HECK SHE IS DOING WITH THE ELVES: Her mother was killed on the way to Lorien, and she was forced to continue there by herself, where she was given shelter for a time. She soon made friends with the elves. When they found that she had no family left, Celeborn and Galadriel insisted that she stay with them.
BIOGRAPHY: Renell's mother was from Rohan. Renell never met her father. Only her mother knew who her father was, and she died suddenly, before she had a chance to tell Renell who he was. Some say he was a man of Gondor that she met while traveling abroad, others say he was from Rohan. Very few thought it was possible that he was an elf. When Renell was born he had already gone, but left her her bracelet to be given to her on her 16th birthday. When Renell turned 17, she and her mother traveled away from Rohan. They visited Fangorn forest, and when Renell saw it, she immediately fell in love with the woods. She begged her mother to take her to Lorien to see if the stories were true about the Golden Lady of the Woods. Right after Renell's 19 birthday her mother agreed. On the way there, they were traveling at night by moonlight when they were suddenly attacked by a party of orcs. They killed Renell's mother, but Renell had pulled her sword and killed a few before they killed her. The others moved on, not wanting to waste the energy in a fight. Renell's mother's dying words were: "Don't believe anything anyone says about your father. He wasn't from Rohan anyway, he was..." She died before finishing the sentence. Left alone, Renell was forced to build a cairn and move on. She reached Lorien exhausted. A patroling group of elves led by Haldir brought her in. The Lady Galadriel took pity on her, and she was allowed to stay. She made some very close friendships with the elves.
CODE OF HONOR: Do not trust what others say, for there are those who would decieve you, and others who know not what they speak of. Trust only yourself. Never fall out of friendship with the elves.

[Arwen Elf]

Thankee!:wiggle: Everyone has a longer character profile than I!:( mecry

[Elbereth]

Uh, I'm very new so take pity on my stupid questions but what is the status of other elves etc. Elrond and Haldir have been mentioned a lot but what is happening to them now? Forgive me if this has already been answered elsewhere.
Otherwise, I would say Elwen's code of honour would be 'fight for what you believe in, even if you have to die for it'.

[Arwen Elf]

I think Galadriel was mentioned more (?) But, as far as I know, the positions of the two are unkown as of yet, but don't call me the expert.:grin: And by the way, that is not a "dumb question". As many a teacher has said to me: "There are no such things as stupid questions!" and this one applies to that rule. (There are a few exceptions!):thumbs:

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

NAME: Winyaél Greenleaf Almaѓëa
GENDER: Female
RACE: Elf
Place of Dwelling: Castle Almaѓëa of Mirkwood
AGE: 986
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Grey almond eyes, sharp nose and a slender, oval face, with long wavy blond hair and wonderfully manicured nails (was forced to do 'em!)
CLOTHING: Normally donned in the full regalia of an elven princess at formal palace meetings but prefers her usual attire of a white knee length dress with long wide sleeves and white sandles with string laced up to a few inches below the knee. (like those greek footwear)
PERSONALITY: Excitable, kinda juvenile, rash, inexperienced, always getting her guardians into trouble but is generally kind at heart, loves animals and longs to be of service to the elven community. Thus, she longs to go onto the battlefields and be a heroine like fellow Mirkwood elf hero Prince Legolas
WEAPONS: Darts and daggers
SKILL WITH SAID WEAPONS: Uh-oh, not too good. Her dad is rather conservative and says: "What should a princess like you be doing on the battlefields?" So no archery training. Pretty good at throwing those deadly poison darts though and trouting others :trout: with those daggers for self-protection.
SKIN COLOR: Fair complexion (like all fellow elves)
BODY BUILD: Slender and petite.
JEWELRY: Lots (All princesses do), but her fave is a heart shape locket made of elvish stone with her name engraved on it, given to her by mummy dearest :)
BIOGRAPHY: Youngest daughter of King Almaѓëa. She lives in the comfort of her father's grand castle but all her life, she wishes to be out at the battle fields because she just thinks it’s darn cool and heroic. (That's an example of being juvenile)

CODE OF HONOR: Remain true to the light as even if the darkest nights, an evening star still dawns upon you (from my siggy)

Code of Honour: Allways respect who you are fighting because you may over estimate yourself.

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Sorry but when's this rpg going to take place?

[Cuthalion]

It's already taking place in the " Another RPG at WOTR" thread.

[Arwen Elf]

Okay, ideas. I think that perhaps there should be a backup army. No one really specific, but a backup army nonetheless. So ,I also think that Laewethë should be the first to go in, though not with the others' permission. I think that perhaps, oh-so-talented Dawn (:) ) should have the brother and sister as hostages, turning them into minions. . . what say you? Have you guys any ideas?

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Actually, when you first posted that dream, I had the same idea. I thought:

'What if I had them, and I was slowly corrupting them for use?'

So, why not...? Any one else got an opinion?

[Akiba]

hey umm I was just wondering if I could still join but I thinthe plot is too developed now cause I tried reading it all and that's alot of reading, so umm yeah is it too late? just wondering

[Arwen Elf]

Nah, you can still join! Go ahead and post your character!

[Elbereth]

Join us and have fun!
sorry I can't think of anything wildly exciting plot-wise at the minute but I agree there should be a back-up army somewhere. No one would be daft enough to go into the fortress with only a handful of companions (well Elwen might but I think I'll ignre her for now. I think she might be one of those people who does stupid things in the name of revenge)
Laewethë should go in first - she has the major incentive to do so. The others might be more inclined to wait until they find out more about what's going on.

[Akiba]

ok I don't wanna bugbut I am confused.. what exactly is going on in the umm story thing and how could I come in? I don wanna waste anyone's time but umm help?

[Arwen Elf]

Okay, well, Akiba, there is a lot going on and nothing at the same time. The goodies are outside of the fortress, and the baddies are inside. The so-called leader of the baddies is Bandoras, a hobbit. (:elfeek: ) There is also Dawn, and she's delightfully evil.:batty: So, my character, Laewethë, is ticked/depressed because her sister and sister's lover were taken by the creatures of the fortress. So, she is on the verge of going to the fortress.

How you can come in: Well, first you have to post your character bio here, so we know what we're dealing with, then, if you're gonna be a goodie or baddie, there are a few options.

Goodie: You could lead the backup army that we SO need.

Baddie: You can reveal yourself to Dawn and share an evil plans.

Any other questions, just PM me or Dawnmaria Nerwen (she's the big cheese at WOTR roleplay).

Elbereth, I think I'll post for Laewethë. I think she's going to do something really stupid. . . .

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

So many nice descriptions of me in this thread! :p

Arwen's right Akiba...join whenever (and wherever) you want.

[Halindir]

I have the back-up army taken care of. So don't worry about that.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Halindir...

My archers would be hidden all the way up. None of the back-up archers would have been able to hit them/and or kill them.

And in RPGing it is polite to only kill something or someone after you have told the other members of the RPG, and you have the go-ahead from the person RPGing the character you are going to kill.

[Halindir]

sorry about that. I just got a little carried away.

[Arwen Elf]

I am confused! I know that I haven't been here lately, but I am not with the others! I don't know why they are putting me there, but I remember specifically writing that I was standing at the gates. So, just thought I would clear it up.:blush:
