[Sicirus]

WELCOME!!!!!!!!
Ok so I am a bit happy. But I need characters to get this rpg ctarted and one the road.
So now we need a Legolas
Pippin
Merry
Gimli
and Gandalf
and any onter extra characters you want. Like we have a wormtoung

[elvishfaerie3088]

Oooooo i'll be Legolas or Gandalf or even one of the hobbits!

[Human#3.141592653]

Is this going to be serious or not? I heard talk of a tail...

I defintly want to be Legolas(AKA Leg-ol-amb. Baaaah!) That ok, elvishfaerie3088??

[elvishfaerie3088]

Yeah thats totaly cool with me. I'm thinking i might stick to an elf though so if someone else wants the part of Gandalf they can have it but i will take it if necessary. oh and 1 question is this based mainly on the book or the movie?

[Aralyn]

OOOH I want to be Merry if this starts up. I CLAIM HIM.

ahem excuse me . .

[Sicirus]

Maybe I should better express my joy on the happy thread on how happy I am to have characters.
This is going to be based on the book. Though for those who have only seen the movie we can fill you in.
so now we have a Legolas and a merry. Though I don't know who elvishfaerie3088 is going to be yet. So lets start the rpg off as we are in Lorien. Or sooner if someone wants Gandalf. I don't want to go through the whole tale when we basicly want Boromir to live an go on from there. But we shall see Gandlaf later on as they meet him in Rohan. Or the bordors of Fangorn.

Enter Boromir! Now which of you is my tail?

Just how serious is this supposed to be? Really serious? Tongue-in-cheek? Downright silly?

Sicirus - are you going to start a new thread for the actual RPG once all the character positions are filled?

Just a thought...what kind of tail does Boromir have? Like a monkey? I should think he would have a lion's tail, but that's just my opinion. And when the tail talks, is it for all to hear (like does it have a mouth?) or is just a telepathically linked with Boromir? Thus spoke...~Sam

[Lord Manafirogh]

The Tail of Boromir was mighty in all living tails! (how man living tails are there) The tail had the malace of Boromir and in him there was no good (just evil). The tail wanted to posses the ring as the ring fitted nicely in the middle and also that way the tail of Boromir was hidded forever from all the eyes of middle earth.
(Im serious here)
The tail did alot of evil things. Some times it had the power to control Boromir. So Boromir came across as a evil character because his tail made him want the ring so bad so he can be free of it forever.

[Sicirus]

I believe the persong playing the tail is going to say if he/she is going to talk or not. I think that it will speak through Boromir though so that no one will suspect the tail. Or to make it funnier the tail can speak for itself.

ic: I sat by the fire after the long journey on the river and sat mezmerized at the glowing crackeling flames jumping around in on the half devoured wood. Bits of ashes rose to the stars and smoke was heavy upone the air. Raragorn was worried the fire would give the enemy our location but did not want to deny our only comfort besides each other.
We had already lost Gandalf and had to leave a land of undying peace and life. And the ring still remained with us as a burden of heavy dread. I sighed and looked over to notice Aragorn pacing. Boromir was talking to Pippin and Merry was listening to the conversation. Legolas and Gimli were debating a subject only kown to their ears. And I was in a half dream trying to see the fire as my fire in Baggend but found it harder then I thought without Bilbo around.
ooc: Lets start. By the way LM state your character if you please.

[Lord Manafirogh]

I'll be Gnadalf or if he is taken I'll be Imrahil if he comes on later.
Actually can i be 2 characters as they both come in later?
If so My second character is Faramir.
thanks

In Character...~"Mr. Frodo, I dunno what's troublin' you but there sure is something suspicious about that Boromir character. Thought so all along." Sam sat down after having said this, biting his bottom lip and thinking about something or another. Like why in god's name hadn't he packed any rope!

It may get confusing after awhile but take Gandalf For now and if no one else claims Faramir by the time it comes to his part you can play that character as well. I don't know how far we will get in the story but stick with Gandalf for now. Imrahil if you wish can be played by you.

ic: "Oh nothing Sam, I am just thinking about home. It seem so long since I've slept on a proper bed and eaten a proper mealfit for a hobbit. Though Boromir is probably still drunk off those blasted libas. I think there was more in those things then meets the taste(sp) I mean he has been talking to Pippin and Merry all day explaining why he was talking to that rock."
(sorry wanted this to be partly funny )

[elvishfaerie3088]

ooc: i have an idea if it's okay with everyone that is. I'd like to play Gladriel, Haldir and one other character if thats okay? i was thinking i could play them and then Gladriel could send one of her elves with the company: ME! lol yeah, and the few days that the group stays there i could become really good friends with Legolas and thats why the lady chooses me? I'll reveal my character at that time. what does everyone think? if thats confusing i'll re-type it later but now i have to go to bed I wanna stay on the entmoot longer *cries* lol. okay i'm okay now.

[FrodoFriend]

ooc: Can we decide which person we're writing in? By that I mean first person (like Sicirus) or third person (like Gamgeegurl). I'm going to write in third person for now, but if you want to change it or something, Sicirus, just say so!

About the tail: I found the idea of Boromir having a squirrel's or horse's tail particularly amusing. But I say we let whoever plays the tail decide.

IC:

************************************************** *

Boromir had never met a Halfling before he went on his quest to find the meaning of the riddle in his dream, and now that he knew several, he decided there were Halflings and Halflings, so to speak. Pippin and Merry were laughing fellows who reminded him of younger brothers (not his younger brother, since Faramir wasn't much like a Halfling in any way, but just younger brothers in general), always ready to joke with him. Sam and Frodo were not so drawn to him, although he would dearly liked to have made a better acquaintance with the Ringbearer.

He glanced over at the two less outgoing Hobbits. They were whispering together with serious faces, and he had the feeling that their conversation had something to do with him. Probably not a very favourable something either. He had unfortunately rather lost control of the . . . thing . . . earlier on, and acted a bit strangely. Hopefully everyone would merely think he had drunk too much or that the lembas (ooc: I assume that by 'libas' you mean 'lembas'?) of the Elves had gone to his head.

For Boromir had a secret, a dark secret that none but he, his father, and his brother knew. It was a terrible secret, shameful, humiliating, and very, very wriggly. He was painfully aware of it; in fact, he was sitting upon it at that very moment. At least it was silent now. There were times when it spoke . . . he shuddered. Those were the worst times.

Suddenly he snapped back to reality. Pippin had said something to him.

"No," he answered, "I don't think attempting to get Sauron drunk on Dorwinion wine and then sneaking to Mount Doom and throwing in the Ring while he lay in a stupor would be a very good plan. For one thing, giant Eyes have a hard time drinking."

[Lord Manafirogh]

ooc: I'll be gandalf. When gandalf comes I'll start writing.

[#1GaMGeeGuRL]

ic: Sam replies to Frodo reasonably, "I've been feeling the same way Mr. Frodo. I think Mr. Pippin and Mr. Merry would too except now they've started to talk to the rock." Sam notices something odd about Boromir. He's been wriggling in place for the past few minutes and its not looking right...

Whos Pippin?

As far as I know no one has claimed Pip yet. he is all yours unless the person who claimed him first speaks up now.

ic: Yeh I am kinda scared of them. I mean its like we are seeing their real selves." I said.
"Iether that or there completely drunk with that rum we packed from Rivendel" said Sam.
"Maybe we should stop satrrin at them. It looks to me as if they are now trying to act as though we are trying to listen inn on their converesations and are covering the rock in a very desturbing way."
"Yeh" said Sam
"Maybe we should."
We turned around and faced the blazing fire and again and watched as Boromir started to speak to a tree and hoped he would not try to explain why he was doing that to Merry and Pippin.
Aragorn came back and left Gimli in charge of keeping watch. He was joined by a puzzled elf who noticed Merry and Pippin and Boromir.
