Rána Eressëa · 02-03-2002, 02:47 PM

Ooh, an RP? Of our characters on this thread? Interesting...

As long as no one tries killing me I'm down.

Do we make up characters now?

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-03-2002, 03:05 PM

Yes indeedy-do RE, go ahead and make up your charecter for it and post the info here.

I would like to ask everyone to use this basic info outline:

Name:
Age:
Race:
Height:
Commonly wears:
Eye color:
Hair color/type:

Other info and background.

thankyou ^_^

Rána Eressëa · 02-03-2002, 03:15 PM

Name: Heather (RN)
Age: 15
Race: 3/5 Human, 1/5 Hobbit, 1/5 Unknown (distant ancestors include Elves on both sides).
Height: 5'6
Commonly wears: Anything snug, lots of light colors - mostly white, blue, & peach.
Eye color: Blue
Hair color/type: Blonde/straight

She is your fairly normal teenager, but has some oddities about her, such as a strong foretelling sense of whether something done in the present will bring on a good outcome or not, and for the most part is 90% of the time right.

Enjoys music, especially soft soothing tones. Has a deep love and yearning for the forests, but is torn between them and the ocean.

She's very feminine in most ways: likes make-up and shopping. Usually hates getting dirty, but it doesn't take long for her to begin not minding it. Quite the shy, mysterious sort of person until you get to know her, then she becomes open and loves talking a lot.

LilaGrubb_o_LittleDelving · 02-03-2002, 03:51 PM

I suppose if I saw big-blue-eyed-boy in the street I would just try to make eye contact and then approach him for an autograph. I'm 5'1" so it would be neat to see him actually looking down for once.

FrodoFriend · 02-03-2002, 04:52 PM

Name: Tanaquil (nickname)
Age: doesn't matter
Race: 3/4 Hobbit, 1/4 human (Rohan ancestry, not Gondor)
Height: 4' even!
Commonly wears: loose overalls w/ short legs, no shoes, toe ring
Eye color: Dark blue
Hair color/type: dark brown and wavy

Um . . . not ordinary, somewhat of a self-exiled social outcast. Doesn't care what people think or do. Wants to be left alone, mostly: "Live and let live." Loves music, specifically playing it (has a magical guitar that shrinks for storage in pocket). Likes to read and write stories or poetry. Likes the ocean, the plains, and the stars. Likes running. She takes what comes and makes the best of it. Hates crowds.

Thinks everything is funny and often has laughing fits for no apparent reason. Scares people with weirdness and odd sayings.

Okee dokee!!

Rána Eressëa · 02-03-2002, 05:31 PM

Magical Shrinking Guitar???

I tried making mine as normal as possible. Did I succeed?

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-03-2002, 05:40 PM

RE-Yours is fine, though any Elven herritage would have to have been from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay way way back. mmm.

FF- Yours, for the most part, is fine....uuuh...gonna have to lose the magic shrinking guitar tho. The modern time of this game is exactly the same as the one we all really live in, theres no magic like that. You can have a guitar, but it cant be magic.

I'm so sorry, you dont hate me, right?

FrodoFriend · 02-03-2002, 05:44 PM

NOOOOO! My guitar! But I don't want a carry a normal-sized guitar around, that would be really inconvenient!

Fine, I'll just have an Irish whistle instead . . . but it's a white one, inlaid with silver! Okay?

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-03-2002, 05:46 PM

uuuh, ok. That'd be fine.

FrodoFriend · 02-03-2002, 05:54 PM

Good.

I can still make charming, seductive music then. But someone else will have to sing, I don't think I can sing and play a flute at the same time.

Gerbil · 02-03-2002, 05:58 PM

Name: Gerbil
Age: 2 years
Race: Rodent
Height: 5 inches on hind legs
Commonly wears: Cheeky grin
Eye color: Pink
Hair color/type: Brown
Favourite quote: *squeak*

Am Rogue Elf's pet and companion.
Understands spoken languages.
Nimble and practical.
All girls love me because I'm so cute and innocent and furry.

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-03-2002, 06:09 PM

No Gerbil, I already said, no rodents.

Rána Eressëa · 02-03-2002, 06:41 PM

Haha...Gerbil won't wanna be in it unless he's a Gerbil

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-03-2002, 06:49 PM

I really hope he will change his mind. I have a specific Idea for the flow of the story..and...well..a lil rodent just wouldnt have any place i that flow...I'm really not trying to do this to be mean, I hope he understands that.

Rána Eressëa · 02-03-2002, 07:28 PM

I just changed mine some. Check it a second time, Feraway

I don't care how far back the ancestory is: I'ma have Elf blood in me or I'ma be maaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Gerbil · 02-03-2002, 08:01 PM

To be honest I think I'm probably not cut out for role-playing - I played MUDs a lot when I was at Uni, and to be honest it sucked for a variety of reasons.

Also, I can't really commit time right now, I have tons of work and will be in and out of the country over the next month which kind of makes life difficult.

I wouldn't mind watching this all happen, be a silent witness kind of thingy, or perhaps I could help plan it with ya Feraway? That way I wouldn't have to be around all the time.

Can you expand a bit on what you want to do / how often to play?

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-03-2002, 08:41 PM

I'm so glad you're not mad at me ^_^ if you dont want to play, thats fine. Work ALWAYS takes first priority lol.

Umm, as far as helping me and stuff, Yeah you can help if you want, tho there not really much more to plan...hrmmm..but having you to speak with would be good, just in case something does come up.

"Can you expand a bit on what you want to do / how often to play?"

Well you see, in this kind of roleplay, theres no specific times when you need to post. Basically, I start the story and then everyone just comes and adds their bits on to it whenever they feel like it usually once or twice a day. But its not the same as the 'WWYD?" story because you're only writing for your own charcecter and not for the other peoples charecter. only the GM *me in this case* can do that. This way is nice because you dont have to worry about haveing to be at a computer at a cirtain time, or getting behind in a game.

Feraway Hawkbriar · 02-03-2002, 08:53 PM

RE- mmmm, ok your profile is still pretty much fine, but just two things.

1. Because by now Elves are thought to be a mythical or long extinct race and almost noone even beleiev they ever existed. so all I have to say about thatis, as long as your charecter dosnt KNOW about the elven blood ( meaning- as far as she knows, shes just 1/5 hobbit and 4/5 human) its fine.

2. Can someone be 1/5 something? I'm not sure its been too long since I've last done punet squares...hrmmm...I'll let it slide. s'all good. ^_^

FrodoFriend · 02-03-2002, 09:25 PM

Yeah, 1/5? How would you have an odd fraction? You'd have an odd number of ancestors. Wouldn't one of your ancestors have to be asexual for that?

bropous · 02-04-2002, 12:10 AM

Well, I have two personalities apparently:

Personality #1:
Name: bropous
Age: 38
Race: Caucasian Man
Height: 5'10"
Commonly wears: Forest colors, hiking boots, cargo shorts, glasses
Eye color: brown
Hair color/type: blonde

Other info and background: Louisiana-born mountaineer. Climber of high peaks. Observant, complimentary, born despotic leader. Ascerbic. Semi-organized, over-read, weakness for [selective] hedonism. No priors. Walking contradiction. Liberal conservative. Quotes Tolkien, Monty Python and Mystery Science Theater at inordinate moments. "The Quiet One" til he gets a few ales down him. Constant "thumb-in-the-eye" to the "elite." Verbose, professorial, research-oriented. Handy in a crisis. Over-user of punctuation, especially the ellipse...

Personality #2:
Name: Brollum
Age: Indeterminate, but "too old to act like that"
Race: 100 yard misquotation sprint with broad jump to conclusion
Height: 4'6", 4'7" standing straight up and out of heels
Commonly wears: Sequined ball gown, fake multi-colored pearl necklace, 6" stilletto heels, five-o'clock-shadow, shaved legs, penciled eyebrows, too much makeup, adam's apple, medallion with "I Hate Grandma" on chain
Eye color: red
Hair color/type: varies depending upon wig

Other info and background: Petty Larceny, Breaking and Entering, two counts of Evading Nazgul, one count of Consorting with Known Ringbearer. Tends to vacation in Amsterdam. Inherited nasty latex novelty fortune. On quest to regain something very important, but can't really recall what it was now....Hang-Up about Bagginses....despises anyone named Sam..... murky past we won't really get into right now... penchant for leading people through the wilderness with dead-on accuracy right to their deaths...

Have fun!
