A Modern Middle-Earth

mirial · 11-30-2002, 02:32 AM

Well, it is just a concept I like alot. In today's society what if there were elves and dwarves and hobbits? What if the were ever so clever, and hid among today's people? What would happen?

Story line: In the west (of America) scientists unearthed a grand finding, a creature petrified, very ugly and seemingly mythological, in it's hand was a beautifully crafted ring. The lead scientist, Lauryn Kale, knew immediately that it would be valuable. She hid it in a grand museum.

Now the old creatures of Middle-Earth, the ones who remember and the ones who were told are greatly uneasy for in today's times, with the One Ring, it would be infinitely possible for total genocide, if the owner of the ring so chose.

There societies, units and groups in countries (very well orginized) are meeting now in London to figure out how to get the ring back, and how to destroy it.

Note to the Reader: THis is my first attempt at an rpg, but I think it is an interesting topic, but if it fails I know why.

Character I will be playing most-
Lisse
Elf
Older than the ages past
A very fun loving elf who has a terrible time being serious.

Des.
Blonde
Blue
5'7
Modern clothes, keeps hair long to cover her ears, originally born in the jungles of Africa.

Please join me on an adventure. (I sound like the Carnival cruise commercials.)

Lubyla · 11-30-2002, 03:01 AM

ok, sounds like fun, I'll join.

Name: Lubyla
Age: She's been around since the one ring was born, even before that.
Lives: What use to be Mirkwood, now known as New Zeland
Looks: Deep Forest Green Eyes, 'bout 5'9, always wears white. Hair is blonde, down to her waist. Still most beautful creature(if Fred don't join) Has little humor, not known by many, keeps to herself and a few friends.

somebodies allready done a thread like this and it's still going I'm afraid that this Rpg may be closed by earniel.

***Earniel*** · 11-30-2002, 01:40 PM

No, I don't think I will, Zavron.

Unless when asked or when it goes off topic. The storyline is simular to that of the 'Return of the Ring' RPG but not identical. I see no reason for closing it.

Duddun · 12-09-2002, 08:38 PM

OOC: OK!
IC: I traveled to New Zealand for a meeting about the ring returning now in Modern times. It was a long boat ride and when I got there Dione Jandel was waiting for me...

Dolenloteiel · 12-09-2002, 08:42 PM

I saw an old friend get off the boat. "hello! I was waiting all morning! Your boat must have had some problems! Come you must tell me everything!" In my mind I said <Aaye, Biredon! What do you make of this business!> I steered him into a small cafe, where we sat in a corner.

Duddun · 12-09-2002, 08:45 PM

I did not feel safe in here so I said: <We cannot speak of it now! We must wait for the counsel.>

Dolenloteiel · 12-09-2002, 08:47 PM

I nodded, and looked over the menu. "tea?" I asked, "Come, what delayed your boat?"

Duddun · 12-09-2002, 08:50 PM

"Yes please!" i said. "We were shot by a pirate ship. Close call" i reached my hand down to my hilt to signal what I meant.

Dolenloteiel · 12-09-2002, 08:54 PM

I nodded, smiling, then I did a double take. <what do you mean, wearing that about?>

Duddun · 12-09-2002, 09:00 PM

Dolenloteiel · 12-09-2002, 10:00 PM

I shook my head. <caution is of the utmost importance. > Our tea was brought. <Where are you staying?>

There shall no one come to harm thee, Naught shall ever break thy rest; Sleep, my darling babe, in quiet, Sleep on mother’s gentle breast. Sleep serenely, baby, slumber, Lovely baby, gently sleep; Tell me wherefore art thou smiling, Smiling sweetly in thy sleep? Do the angels smile in heaven When thy happy smile they see? Dost thou on them smile while slumb’ring On my bosom peacefully. Last edited by mirial : 11-30-2002 at 02:34 AM.
