A LOTR Role Play

[Assimilator]

Hey guys n gals.

Thought I would try to set up a LOTR ( lord of the rings ) RP ( role play ).

It will be set in the new age, a year after saurons defeat with the rings destruction in mount doom.

I will be writing my own story but I dont want to write it and have the thread die out.

so I need to know how many of you people would be interested.

you may pick any race you choose from the lord of the rings era.

note at this point all the other races except the race of men are beggining to dwindle.

The races I can find and remember are

Men
Dwarves
Elves
Hobbits
Orcs ]
Goblins ]
Urak-hai ] Note these three are the bad guys but i guess you could be a good one. ( fawkes comes to mind )

any others guys remind me.


All I will need is a stats thing as follows.


Name:
Race:
Height:
Age:
Speciality: ( Melee, archery mage etc )
Temprement:
Equipment:
History:
Special skill/s or item/s: ( no godding keep it sensible )
Land of origin:


Anything else you think should be added please post.

I am going to Post some rules too so you can decide if you are in or out.

• The obvious hive rules apply no swearing adult content etc
  
• If you do not wish to be a part of this anymore PM me and I will cut you out of the roleplay. its always annoying when one person quits and it makes it really hard to carry on. ( we have all been there)
  
• No godding, in other words making your character uber.
  
• I will be posting a map of middle earth so we can all follow
  
• I will be describing the locations but as a group we cna decde where we go
  
• I will choose to add little things in but feel free to add a little " hey whats that?" *blank* walks over to a small pile of remains and spots a blah blah blah
  
• You are not allowed to be a character from the books but you are allowed to make reference.
  
• 
  
• 
  

Cant think of any others, will add some though

Thanks again guys. Been a long time since I did one of these, should be good.

Yep thats fine thanks for joining

Oh and temprememnt means kind of good/ evil or karma if you will. but yes I suppose you could put in their buttons

sorry forgot to add equipment means armour too

[Assimilator]

Ok here is me

Name: Glorf Elinthor

Race: Dwarf

Height: 4 "2

Age: 36

Speciality: Heft weapons ( axes mainly )

Temprement: A good honourable warrior who will protect the good, but like all dwarfs easily swayed by ores or jewllery. Hates it with a passion when people call him Glorf the dwarf.

Equipment: A large two handed battle axe called "Erinthindel" 2 smaller throwing axes and a stern, strong metal buckler.
Heavy chainmail shirt, tough steel med helm. bearhide gloves with spiked knuckles.

History: Glorf worked as a miner in the iron hills for about 6 years, when the ore ran out so did the dwarves. He managed to accumulate a generous amount of wealth and had a small alpine cabin in the iron hills, when he left his cabin for a week to visit his relatives at Erebor, the lonely mountain he came back and the winter had consumed his cabin, only the vague out line of his path remained, he spent over 3 months in the miners haven in the iron mountains. There were other dwarves still there including a rune smith by the name of Grogroth. Grogroth taught Glorf a bit about runecraft and that is how he came to be in possesion of Erinthindel, his first and most beloved axe. The runes glow golden when a valuable ore is nearby.
Special skill/s or item/s: Erinthindel is an enchanted axe which lets glorf know when an ore is nearby that can be mined., the name"Erinthindel" is an elvish name. no one but glorf knows how it came to be with this name and he does not speak of it.


Skill: Erinthindel's fortune: the axe has a point on the other end which makes the axe double as a pickaxe ( its also a very good skull crusher.

Land of origin: The blue mountains in Eriador

Gonna start? may as well.

Coming out of the sparse shrubbery, Kayvior made sure to remember to look out for Shelob. The Cirith Ungol pass was her territory. (I can't remember if they killed Shelob or not, if so I just don't know yet) Tiptoeing down the slopes, suddenly a rock slipped from under him and he tumbled down the slopes, crashing through the rocky pass. Pulling himself to his feet, Kayvior looked around. No giant spider crashing down on him; that was good. Suddenly, he dropped to his feet once more: he saw an elf on the road below him. (Gorlan Hared) He decided to lay in wait, and ambush if neccesary, but although fighting was his thing, he didn't feel like going toe-to-toe with an elf right now. Even diplomacy would be better, but he doubted THAT would happen. Not with an elf and goblin, anyway.

Erm hey yeah can I please wirte the story first? Excellent you guys have joined but if you copy that in a word doc then put it in when we fully introduce our characters? thanks

[barkblast334]

Ok...

Hey, how about wizards, as a sub-race or a class or something? Oh wait you already have that on the speciality bit. Nvm.

[thecakewuzalie]

Shelob I don't believe is actually dead as she was heavily wounded by Sam but didn't perish, went off to nurse her wounds. She was rather unaffected by the rumination of the ring as she was a child of ungoliant not a product of the Ring.

[barkblast334]

Ah. But no, my spider amulet thing just gives me an affinity with spiders. I can call a small swarm of them every once in a while, and if I really need to I can ride a spider.

Guys when I get back from college today I will finish off the story and post it. Then we can begin.


Edit: ok no promises guys, coursework is heavy today may not be able to post tonight, sorry.
