Strider Mithrilstone: Discussion

Okay, this is an RPG that really sprung from an item introduced in Assassin's Shadow. It was called the mithrilstone, and was just that: a mithril stone, carved with a rune. Anyone who held it went into a beserk battle frenzy, but became "addicted" to the stone as they used it more and more. Seperation equaled "withdrawal".
The stone exited the story when the dwarf Nakoin swiped it from one of the main characters, and vanished into the mountains that Minas Tirith nestles against. This RPG will include some of the characters from Shadow, and will definitely have many new characters.
It will mostly be set in and around Moria, as the heros face a new threat underground. The Mithrilstone will play a central role.
Anyone interested? Discuss it here.

You know I'm in!
Name: Acalewia

Profession: Half elf Dunedain

Weapons: Sword, bow, two daggers, two knives.

Appearance: Tall with golden-brown hair and hazel eyes. She wears a tunic and breeches and knee-high boots. She has a quiver and two long elvish knives on her back, a sword at her side, and two daggers hidden in her boots.

Personalty: Loyal and tough. She can be a dangerous enemy to orcs and any other evil being

History: Born to an Dunedain Father and an Elvish Mother in Rivendell, Acalewia is the oldest of four children and the only daughter. Dispite her gender, Elmar taught his daughter the ways of the Dunedain. Around the age of 19, the band Acalewia's family was traveling with was attacked by orcs. Elmar was fatally wounded. With his dying breath, he passed on the family sword to Acalewia. Soon after her mother took ship to the Undying Lands, forsaking her children and leaving Acalewia to care for three teenaged boys. The two oldest sons, Ramen and Remen, shared their father's fate; they were killed by orcs they attacked in an effort to advenge Elmar.
Acalewia took her surviving brother to Mirkwood, then to Loren after being scruntized for their mixed birth. Both Acalewia and Elnar learned the bow and the use of the long elvish knife.
During the War of the Ring, Acalewia took up the name "Eruanna", a name given her by Gandalf. She fought in both Rohan and Gondor. After a falling out with the Steward, she left Gondor. When the Steward's sons, Boramir and Faramir, tried to convince her to stay she only told them her return would signafy the King's. Unbeknowst to them, Acalewia was close friends with the heir of Islidor.
True to her word, after the battle of Helm's Deep, Acalewia returned to Gondor only to find Faramir near death and the Steward's sanity gone.
After the War, Acalewia resided mostly in Gondor but went North often. It was in the North that her love, Arlagon, was killed by strange goblins. She tracked them to Ithian and got involved in a war against a man called the Assasin.
Now the man has been defeated, but another evil lurks...

Now, let's see. LWR, rTR, are you up for the sequel?
And anyone else ready to join in? We've got tons of characters already that you might be able to persuade someone to let you use. Makoin, Hluor, a few random NPCs...

Strider

Is this character a human? Orc? Cave Troll?
I guess for future reference you should include the following categories: Alignment and Race. I didn't think of those yet...
But, LWR, it looks like a pretty nasty archvillain there. (P.S. Elrohir is the name of one of Elrond's sons I think )

Also, everyone, I've left an opening for a couple of our heros to participate in a seperate mini-RPG: "Sands of Harad", which is the adventures they have on the way to give Curmaar his last respects in his homeland. You might want to commit one of your characters from Assassin's Shadow to this RPG and not to Mithrilstone.

Name: Gundir

Profession: Bodyguard

Weapons: Double headed battle axe and two short swords.

Appearance: Short and stocky. Bald on the top of his head but has a brown beard. He covers up his baldness by wearing an iron helm.

Personality: Stubborn and untrustworthy, especially to elves. If he becomes friends with someone he is very loyal, but before that he does not trust any, even if they were related to him.

History: Grew up in the Iron Mountains under the rule of Dain. His father was killed in the Battle of the Five Armies and his mother died when he was very young. He taught himself how to become self reliant. That included how to catch food and how to defend himself. He lived for a while in Dale but became ubrestful and went in search of action. His search eventually brought him to the Blue Mountains. There he was hired as a bodyguard by a rich dwarf. After saving this dwarf from a small company of orcs, he became well known as one of the best body guards around.

Nice. You could probably be the bodyguard to the chief dwarf.

Name: Tilgun Ironbeard

Race: Dwarf

Age: 130

Gender: Male

Profession: Leader of the dwarven colony

Weapons: A big battleaxe and a round shield.

Appearance: His hair is very dark, and so is his beard. He is short for a dwarf, but any enemy that underestimates him has quickly lost its head. He wears a brown cloak, and a chainmail coat. His boots are heavy and iron-studded at the heels.

Personality: He has a fierce determination, and will not back down from most threats. However, he knows when the odds are sorely against him, and will eventually retreat. He refuses compromise.

History: He proved himself as somewhat of a young dwarf in the Battle of Five Armies, when the leader of his battalion was slain by a goblin volley. He took up the standard, and led his army to defeat two whole groups of goblins. He was offered the chance to take back Moria, and jumped at it. He is one of the few who knows much about the Mithrilstone.

Yeah, Elrohir is an elf, but not a pure one. No connection to Elrond's son. That was coincidence.
