LOTR character backgrounds

Started by Ushgarak9 pages

Below are the original character and game background threads.

Buttel, Hobbit with big hairy feet, has some skill with a dagger, job eat and sleep..Does often disapper and show up at extreme times..

Vardalain, a noldor elf. animist. (i know it has the smallest background but tell me if this fits) He has extended knowledges about healing. ( i assume that implies SOME herbology) He dedicates most of his fighting experience towards bow training. (i want that to be his main offense). he carries a light armor and a sword.

ok.I'm Palanfirith a High Elf.I handle the bow extremely good and for hand-to-hand combat I'm using 2 knifes(good handling).I always like to be focused and never loose temper.My job is RANGER,a good scout,so I try to keep my colegues away from danger.I use a light armor a very light one so my moves are fast and effective.As an artifact I have The Arrow Bag of Enrhosiel,a megical bag with an infinit number of elven crafted arrows(think it's legal,isn't it ?🙂 ).
I think that's all for now....if any other ideeas come into my head I'll put them here.

P.S:For nicks check http://www.barrowdowns.com/middleearthname.asp

Aranui - Dunadain Ranger. good with bow, which he carries. also a sword. uses a pretty light armour. he has a gentle nature; dislikes war but is a good fighter, and acts valiantly in battle.

oh,Ushwhat do you mean by 'Noldor get the least background ties' ?

As I explained at the start, the more powerful your character, the less background advantages- money, equipment, positions, contacts and so on- you get. Noldor are the most powerful and so you get nothing other than the clothes you wear and weapons you carry. Aranui gets to be a member of the Royal Household of Gondor, whilst Buttel probably owns a fair bit of land and is quite rich from his exciting Hobbit gardening activities. Sorry, was I mocking Hobbits again?

guess not.....🙄

do not have connections and stuff I understand,but I'm treated like any other.right?
oh and another thing:what are we doing with the money if we travel all the time as a Fallowship ?

Well, how you are treated is up to the others! But I have to overrule your magical quiver, I am afraid. That would be a bit much even for a human.

well...ok.Then,I'm ready

(You'll be using Elven weaponry, of course, which is just plain better than human stuff...)

finúvien: silvan elf, i'm not sure what job to pick yet...for now i'll say mage since no one else has. >D knowledge consists mainly of languages, lore, and a limited amount of botany. is studying the power of water; has some skill with the bow (defense), relatively good vision, and is very agile. somewhat impetuous, lacking the wisdom and patience of older, more learned mages.

Gee, it's Elf city around here...

I think we'll need someone to take a Warrior. (Thinks).

FIRE!

we need a dwarf!

Could the Noldor Elves please choose where they come from? Your choices are Rivendell (in which case you are probably the son of one of Elrond's inner circle), Lothlorien (in which case you are an unusually adventerous member of Galadriel's hardcore weird followers) or Grey Havens (in which case you are a LONG way from home...)

hehe I won't take dwarf, sorry but I played way to many dwarves
I'm going for a Male Half-Elf (chose elf) Fighter named Zeratul
he was a sergeant or something like that in the army of Gondor, untill someone, most likely orcs, killed his wife. Then he gave up his duties as sergeant and began to hunt orcs in a violent way.
Speciality, one armed sword combat, without using shield and small group tactical combat

tell me if this is ok ush

It's fine.

nooooo, another elf! nothin' but elves around here..damn those pointy-eared bast....yeah.

Well, he hasn;t been around long enough to be a full Elf so as a Half-Elf he will be more like man than Elf right now. But yes, it is an exceptionally gay party...

i'll be from rivendell
elf predominance ws expected, no? I was this close to be a dunedain myself
