A New Shadow RP - discussion thread

[Ice Man]

OK guys, I'm posting this for mr underhill.

Post all your doubts and questions and character profiles in here here. But we still need is a number for this RP.

I'll post my character profile as soon as I'm done with it.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Ok, I'll give this RP a try
This is the dude, but I might use myself (King Elessar) once or twice

Name: Gorloth

Race: Elf of Mirkwood

Titles: Field General of Dor-Taur-Sir, high council to the King Elessar

Personality: Always seems to be in a dark mood. He appears cold and tactical to most people, save those who get to know him. Those who do know him know that he is a very caring and deep person, who hates above all else his taking of another's life (which he tends to do quite often)

Appearance: Tall, even for elven standards; He always wears a large black cloak that is latched between his broad shoulders by a single golden flower. His cloak has a hood, but he doesn't often use it. He has long black hair. His face has a very well outlined jaw, and eyes that are both proud and deep. It is said that he is decendent of the old rulers of Greenwood, and that the fire of Doraith of old runs through his veins.

History/abilities: Has been with the armed forces of Mirkwood and Dor-Taur-Sir since he was old enough to swing a sword. He does not know of his parentage, for their fear for the safety of the kingdom and their fear of his pride. He is very accomplished with both sword and spear, better than most people have ever, or will ever, see.

Weaponry/Items: He is equiped with two elven swords, both identical. They are long and skinny, but extremely strong. They were forged by his lord Elessar, from his special blends of metals. He knows much about trees, all kinds, and loves the forests.

[Ice Man]

I think I'll go on with my good old buddy Smyern.

Name: Smyern Sillmelerin
Creature: Elf
Age: more than 1000
Gender: Male
Place Born: Mirkwood

Looks: Black long hair, black deep cold eyes, 1,80m, 70kg, slim but stronger than one may guess.

Weapons: Sword, Quarterstaff, Knife
Magic Yes/No: Yes, but only healing magic/abilities

History: He was born and raised in Mirkwood during the 3rd age, having always had an itense desire of travelling and discovering the many wonders of Middle Earth. He dedicated most of his time to learning the secrets of swordplaying, which he would learn from his father, Talcyron Silverstar. In his travelling, Smyern would seldomly join some of the Rangers in their wandering and adventuring, especially those who headed towards the northern lands of Middle Earth. When the time came, he fought the Battle of the 5 Armies, met Bilbo and Gandalf, and went with them to Rivendell. There he lived until the end of the War of the Ring, having also fought in the war. After the war was over, he decided he would only sail back to the west once he had seen all of that was to be seen in Middle Earth. From there on, he simply travelled and wandered though Middle Earth, never setting feet in a place for more than a few weeks, and always in search of new places and regions for him to admire. Rarely does he return to Mirkwood, doing so only to tell his stories and adventures to his family and close friends who still haven't left Middle Earth.

Personality: Not what can be referd to as an open person, but always willing to learn and get to see new places. Likes to listen and observe more than he likes to talk and is very suspicious of men and dwarves, thinking that they do not take notice of the world's true beauty and wonder. He has an excellent memory (remarkable even by Elvish standards) and, everytime he returns to Mirkwood, he writes down all of the most memorable things that he has seen and that have happened. After many many years of wandering, travelling and adventuring, the thought of leaving Middle Earth begins to bother him every once in a while. He has not made a visit to The Lonely Mountain after the Battle of the 5 Armies, being that what he will probably do before leaving Middle Earth.

Clothing/Armor: Black Cloak, dark green cape, leather boots. Always takes his sword, named Amnetiz with him.

ill explain the answers to doubts people pmd me...

first :

if the fellowship get the yuram they will use its power of goodness to wipe out all evil in ME!!!

if jzethos ( me ) gets to it he will use it to change ME into an evil realm. As you can imagine it would be plunged into darkness and orc / balrog infested!!!!

2nd :

sauron has no army. It now belongs to jzethos. His tower his ringwraiths. All jzethos's. Sauron has been given a small band of orcs but nothing major.

3rd :

gollum..... i dont know where he is but most likely in a dark cave somewhere most likely the misty mountans. THe caracters of gollumand sauron and gandalf may be usedby users. If not they will be controlled by everyone as long as it is believeable ie : gandalf will not get killed by one unarmed goblin

4th :

jzethos ( me ) will have at his disposal

an army of orcs ( quite reasonable as im the only real enemy )
1 balrog ( im not gonna tell you where it is. )
nazgul ( ill hardly ever use these and will not use them the same time as the balrog or orcs )
spies ( in this quest you will stop at inns etc. in some of these the innkeeper etc may be a spy. I will try to make it a bit obvious and make the characters eem a bit sinister.
When you find this out and read back you will realise how blatantly obvious it was!!!

thats about it....

[Ice Man]

In what year does the story/RPG begin?
And from where will we start?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

yes yes yes, the principle parts to begin the RP
Oh, and I would guess that we are in the fourth age, by the storyline and such. Probably 1000 or so years into it.

And, I have a few questions
In what condition are Gondor, Rohan, and Arnor; do they have armies and such to fight the new dark lord

What season will the RP be starting in?

Oh, and, the Gollum and Sauron parts are beleiveable, but Gandalf went over the seas and out of the circles of the world, I don't know if it would be wise to use him. But you are the creator of the RP, it is at your disposal. `

I thought the same.

[YayGollum]

*heroic music in the background* Here I am, as promised! Here's my profile ---> Name: Truor Tupnm
Race: One of those Beorning things
Gender: Male
POB: No creative ideas
Appearance: black hair, green eyes, short, not the handsomest dude you've ever seen, hodge-podge armor, big shield
Personality: loyal, stubborn, lover of hopeless causes, but tries to be on the side that wins, hates elves
Magic: only the ability to talk to animals and turn into a bear
Weapons: crossbow, throwing knives, poison dart shooter, sword (for the few times I have to get near the enemy)

Sounds good. I definitely hope that the super great variety, originality, and personalities of all of these crazy people will help out with an RPG that won't be copying Tolkien's work too much!
:D
