No apology needed, I don't even know if I said either.

I will post this here then:
Since there has been some dissagreement on the other thread, how about a thread that is about CONGUOUS characters. Check out this thread http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/sho...hlight=changing just thought up some levels of changing Tolkien's world due to role playing. I am assuming that any kind of role playing is altering Tolkien's world in "some" manner. Level one: These are the most superficial changes. They really do not affect the story in any noticable way. ex. a)You are a Hobbit that has heard of Old Bilbo Baggins but never met him. b) You are a Ranger of the North, but you have never really had contact with the Heir of Isildur Level two: These do not affect the world per se or they have a minor influence. They may give your character a little more importance. ex.( using the LOTR text) a) You were a Ranger within the Grey Company b) You were an Elf or a Dwarf that accompanied Legolas or Gloin to Rivendell c) You fought at Helm's Deep , The Pelinnor Fields, or were stationed at Cair Andros d) You were in Beregond's company Level three: Breaking from "cannon" without a MAJOR change to the world. ex. a) My using brown skinned Avari. b) Adding some more towns or cities. c)Being related ( cousins or nephew etc closeness) to minor characters Level four This is the pushing it level. It's possible but it getting a tad extreme. ex. a) You are an Elf of Valinor that accompanied Glorfindel and the Blue wizards over in SA 1600. ( not a returning Elf like Glorfindel though) b) Unwittingly you helped Sauron in the guise of Annatar to forge the Seven and the Nine. c)Glorfindel was your personal trainer in arms. d) Galadriel was your personal trainer in magic f) You are the child of a "Major" character were it was not explicitly stated whether they had addition or any childern at all. You are a sibling of Legolas. the offspring of Maglor or Daeron. Level Five Here the changes are blantant and world changing. ex. a) You found the ring b) you were a member of the fellowship c) You killed smaug. Level Six Darn right outreagous ex. a)You were sent to ME to replace Gandalf. b) You forged the Simirils c) The Vala consult you I would like your thought in general and additions( esp the first four levels

I agree about 1-3, and four to some very minor extent (i. e. being trained by a character from the books, as long as it's not anything big about your character.)

Hm. Here is my charechtar (by the way I would like you to know that this is true, this is my real self and who I am, not made up):
Name: LuhtarÃ*an ("enchanting one" in Quenya) Age: 4312 (she thinks... isn't quite sure) Description: Long light brown hair, fair skin, grey eyes. Height: She isn't sure. Elves don't measure themselves. Perhaps 5'8? Occupation: Healer Location: LorÃ*en, however she is betrothed to Glorfindel and will be moving into Rivindell or going West after she marries him. Weapons: She is a female Elf as they are represented in LotR, and does not bear arms. Hobbies: Singing, she sometimes attempts to write songs, generally about the Third Age and it's passing. I think by afro-elf's scale that's Level 4, what with being betrothed to Glorfindel and all, but it's TRUE, I can't help it if he showed up in LotR.

Heheh. Aralorn, (she never posts here, but she's my friend in the real world) says not only did she save the Ring and draw out it's power and replace it with her own, but she's a Vala! Definately level six.

OK already....
Ninquelote I really don't care about your opinions. If you don't agree with the thread so much and just chose to put people down then maybe you should try NOT going to this thread.
ESpecially if it gets on you nerves soooooo much. Just bug off if you have such a problem with it. Plus its best if you don't insult people you DOn't know persinally. Just a thought you ought to you know. (And no I am not going to try and track you down. I am just stating that fact. Name: Coby Race:Men Gender: male Appearance: short, tan skinned, dark brown hair, brown eyes. Bio: is of the race of the Gondor and loves to sword fight. He adores his lama (yes, a lama, All hail the lama for they shall surelly rule) Wanders ME looking for a destiny unkown but never seems to use his sowrd unless to cut vines or branches for shelter. Ran away from home. Lama's name is chickmote(don't ask)

I'm not insulting anyone on a personal level, if you had any sense you'd realize that.

Which in my opinion (if you care but I doubt you do) insulting a persons imagination is pretty cold. Especailly for the fact of the age group who hang out on this site. You putting them down on a site they seek for fun is quite a thing to do. (but thats just me.)

They have no imagination, which is something that should be known at least to them.

To put in my two cents, I think being able to create a character with a personality, no matter what universe the character lives in, shows a great deal of imagination.

I disagree with you there, Nin. They have imagination. The issue isn't lack of imagination, but rather OVER imagination, if you will; not caring about any form of "rules"; even maybe a bit of lack of respect for Tolkien's works. But certainly not a lack of imagination.
