If Frodo turned evil...

Dreran the Green · 06-12-2003, 08:45 PM

Hi everyone. This is my first time starting an RPG and I am really nervous because I don't know if anyone will join in

I wasn't really sure how to do this, but E,LoR helped me out. Thanks, Eowyn.

Anyway, This is the idea: What if at the end of LOTR Frodo kept the ring and somehow (no one said it had to make absolute sense

) turned into a dark lord, got some evil minions, and tried to conquer Middle Earth. We'd need a Frodo, and probably the rest of the Fellowship members and other important people like Sarumaun, Elrond, Eowyn, ect. We could just start with Frodo being evil and go on from there with everything. I claim Gandalf.
Someone please join me. I'm really nervous about starting this.

Question. May I be Jessira, an elf who traveled with Gandalf? It's kind of silly, but when I read, I sometimes pretend that I am a new character, and I rewrite the story to fit it.

Bilbo and his group found Jessira inside the goblin's cave. She had gone in to sleep, just like the group, and got pulled in after them. She traveled with them, and was the one that actually shot down the dragon Smaug when Bard's arrow glanced off. Later, she travelled with Gandalf and Aragorn. When Frodo began his quest, Jessira went with them, but was called away on an urgent errand when they met Farmer Maggot. She traveled with the Fellowship, helping out when Gandalf fell into shadow. She did many things, parting company with the remains of the Fellowship when they went to the Paths of the Dead. She nudged Eowyn toward the idea of traveling with the company, and then rode swiftly to Minas Tirith. She rejoined Aragorn and the others when they stepped ashore from their boats, and rode with them until the end of the War.
(This is rather complicated, I know, but I would like to play her.)

Hey! Could I be Pippin? And if no one else wants to, can I be Faramir too? If anyone else wants to be him though I can just be Pippin.

Dreran the Green · 06-13-2003, 10:08 AM

Kalile, of course you can be Jessira. And I don't think there's any problem with Aewionen being two characters for now, but if some more people join in you might have to give up Faramir.

Wow. My RPG is working

Lets wait a little to see who else joins, then we can get started.

Adrian Baggins · 06-13-2003, 10:21 AM

Just because I like being EVIL, I wanna be FRODO yes I will be Frodo, and you forgot 1 important detail, did Smeagol/Gollum die?

Cause if he did I wanna be Frodo's sister but if he didn't I wanna be Gollum.

Dreran the Green · 06-13-2003, 10:26 AM

No, he didn't. I don't want to kill Smeagol off, he's always very amusing in these RPGs

So wait, do you want to be Smeagol now or Frodo?

Adrian Baggins · 06-13-2003, 12:39 PM

both please, Smeagol is a minion and trusted advisor

Dreran the Green · 06-13-2003, 02:39 PM

OK

I hope some other people come soon.

LutraMage · 06-13-2003, 06:24 PM

Okay, I'll take Aragorn. I didn't take the Paths of the Dead and fight my way across Rohan and Gondor just to see one Dark Lord replaced with another (however diminutive)!

Dreran the Green · 06-13-2003, 06:39 PM

Great! So now we have Gandalf, Jessira, Pippin, Faramir, Frodo, Smeagol, and Aragorn!

Cool!

Silme*Christian · 06-14-2003, 10:08 AM

Hello, may I join?

LutraMage · 06-14-2003, 03:05 PM

Welcome Silme, I'm sure you can join, just let us know what character you want to be.

Are we ready to get started yet?

Dreran the Green · 06-14-2003, 05:29 PM

You don't have to ask to join, just tell us your character

Seems like we have a good amount of players. Should we wait for a few more or start now?

Silme*Christian · 06-14-2003, 08:57 PM

Character from LOTR or just made up?

Kalile · 06-14-2003, 09:35 PM

From LOTR, only mine had a plausible background, so if you have a made up character that fits into the story, you can be it.

I think.

Silme*Christian · 06-14-2003, 09:37 PM

OK. Ummmm, Is Éowen taken?

Kalile · 06-15-2003, 01:30 AM

Nope!
