Here's where you can give us a few details about your in-game character, maybe his/her name, age, gender, ancestors, weapons, likes, looks, whatever. Just do what comes naturally...

As it was my idea for this board i think that it should be for everyone so we get an idea of what our ingame character is like. Well heres me....
Amras Séregon I was a great Elf of my kind. I fought along side my brothers at our camp out side Lothlorien. But when our camp was attacked, i was on the front line to protect it. We bought enougth time for the civilians to get away, but we lost many warriors. Ii was 1 of 10 to escape. I never went back to the new camp, and i was presumed dead.
I went round for 200 years, hunting and camping. I hunted Orcs mainly, the odd Uruk-hai group. Untill one day i became aware that things were not right. More and more dark enemies were patrolling the lands.
I only hunted the small groups, being alone. Untill one day, when i was out side Fangorn, a whole army of Orcs attacked my camp. I fought, knowing my end was near. Then a huge hail of Arrows connected with their target, and all the Orcs fell.
I met the Elven warriors of Famgorn, and found that their cause was just, joined them. It was a great houner to be among such great warrios. I rose my way up the ranks. And now reside in Fangorn till the end of my days, serving the Elves with my life.

Well heres some info on my character... He was born on the edge of mirkwood www.glyphweb.com/arda/maps/dolguldur.gifHe lived in a village to the south of Mirkwood. One day he was attacked by Orcs from Dol Guldur. His home was destroyed and his village burnt. He was the only one to escape alive. He managed to flee to Lorien were he was looked after and his wounds healed. After some years training Galadriel sent him to join some elves in Fangorn and help protect Fangorn from Saruman...

well here we go
he was born in the center of Mirkwood, shortly after his birth his small village was attacked. His dad took him to to Rivendell with an arrow in his back and a cut from his left side to his right. once they reached Rivendell his father collapsed, the elves there did all they could to heal him, but they failed. all the elves there helped raise him. now, 763 and a half years later, he is framed for a war crime, treason, he must flee, with 20 men chasing him, he flees to fangorn, the elves here nurish him back to full health, he promises them that he will do the best he can at any command he is given. this is where he can redem and prove to Rivendell that he would never treason his people...

Name= Imbeglín Oronrá ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ancestors Father= Elrohir Oronrá Father's Father= Caranthir Oronrá Father's Mother= Isil Oronrá Mother= Alatariel Aldaríon Stepfather= Aikanáro Lossëhelin Mother's Father= Curufinwë Aldaríon Mother's Mother= Nindë Aldaríon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Weapons Sword= Aegnor Pallanén (Orc Reaper) Bow= Elrohir Nénharma (Foe Shooter) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Race= Sindarin Elf Birthplace= Lothlorien (now living in Fangorn) Class= Warrior/Diplomat/Ranger Tradeskills= Diplomat/Loremaster Eyecolour= Jade (Deep Green) Hair= Long, Brown Hair Clothing/Armor= Elven Cloak Of Lothlorien and/or High-Elf Armour (worn by Elven Archers sent to Helm's Deep in TTT) Weapons= Elven Bow Of Lothlorien and Elvish sword, as wielded by the Elves of the Second Age
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And Now For My History... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I was born to two elves of nobility within Lothlórien, but they separated whilst I was still a stripling, merely 10 years old. I think this made me stronger mentally. I always did well at my schooling, but I wasn't only good at academics. I was also an accurate bowmen, so by the time I was fifty I was training with the Guard, led by Haldir. As I grew older I grew restless, often wandering in the lands around Lórien, wondering what else is out there. That was when I saw them. Crebain from Dunland, winging their way back towads the pinprick that was Isengard, and that was when I thought "If Saruman is in league with the crebain, maybe he is league with Gorthaur. He must not be allowed to harm the people of Rohan." With that, I ran back to Lórien and asked if I could take five hundred of my kin with me to Fangorn Forest, there to set up a watch on the Gap of Rohan, and also to help Treebeard in his war against the invading orcs. In the end Lady Galadriel persuaded Lord Celeborn to let me take what I needed and go with their blessing. With that I chose suitable people for different jobs and set off. This was all in the year 2017 T.A., it is now 3017 T.A. Fifty lives have been lost in that time, but even one life lost is too much.

ok, hereeeeeeesss me! (ill use the same structure as Imbeglins one cause i like it ;D)
Name=Elrohir Carnesir ======================== Ancestors Unfortunately, Elrohirs ancestors have been unknown for a long, long time. It is a mystery to all those who try to discover, and most that do try hard enough, are often found dead on the city outskirts. There are many rumors about his ancestors, one such rumor is that Elrohir is really a descendant of a higher spirit, but that has still remained unproven. ======================== Weapons Longsword=Ruin (Red Flame) Bow=Astaldo (Valiant) ======================== Race=Sindarin Elf Birthplace=Nimrais-in a small camp(North-west Gondor) Class=Ranger/Sharpshooter Tradeskills=Diplomat Eyecolour=Greeny-Grey Hair=Medium-Long, Black Clothing/Armour=Tough Leather mixed with small chainmail armour, has a large symbol on the front. And a dark black coat, also has the symbol on it. Weapons=Elvish looking Longsword with the same symbol on it, but it does not seem to be of any local blacksmith style, at first glance you see a faint red glow eminate from the sword, but when you look again, it is gone. Also an Elvish Bow with a strange pattern marked all the way along it, you dont recognise the style.
Note= The stuff about the strange symbol and the weapons being of distant origions is a secret for now, you must find out what they mean and where they came from ;D. ======================== My History I was born far away from most of Middle Earths disputes and petty conflicts. Down in Gondor, we were quite far away from the Mordor orcs and Isengard. In our small encampment, we trained in peace, practicing to become legendary warriors before we set out to fight the orcs with the rest of Middle Earth.
One day while scouting the land i saw a small band of orcs heading for my camp. Being the selfish and arrogant person that i was back then, i fought them. I managed to kill all of them, but i was critically injured, i crawled to a nearby alcove and rested to regain my strength. I must've fallen asleep, because the next time i opened my eyes i saw pillars of smoke rising from my camp and i could hear some faint screams. I tried to run over there, but my legs would not allow me, i lay there, helpless and unable to aid in the protection of my camp, i had failed. When i awoke it was evening, i had regained some of my energy and managed to walk over to my camp. When i arrived i saw tents burned down, corpses of people i had only talked to yesterday, lying on the ground lifeless.
I stayed there for days, mabye even weeks, mourning the death of my fellow warriors, and most importantly, my brother. Eventually i managed to walk away from the camp, weak and striken with guilt and sorrow, i walked to a town many miles from my camp. There i rested and recovered my stength, but i never did recover fully from that day. From that day forth i sweared to become a lone ranger, and use the best of my abilities to hunt the orc.
It was a long 25 years after that when i met the Elven Warriors Of Fangorn Forest. I joined with them, hoping i could further my cause of revenge in this kinship. Since that day i have calmed down much, regained much of my confidence and determination i had once been known for. But i know, i had never regained all of it, some i had lost, lost forever.

We did but it got deleted.
[glow=red,2,300]race:[/glow] elf [glow=red,2,300]name:[/glow] Elesar Telrunya [glow=red,2,300]weapons:[/glow] Elven blade of Arnedon that can be used two handed or one handed, Galadhrim bow and two long daggers for secondary weapon. [glow=red,2,300]looks:[/glow] Blond hair and quite pale complection. Quite nimbly built but still strong. [glow=red,2,300]Clothes:[/glow]Normal clothes are green and brown leather tunic (alot like legolas). But when i ride out to war i wear elven gold armour and a blue cape like Haldir's elves.
[glow=red,2,300]History[/glow] I lived in the woods of Lothlorien for many many years, and have seen many battles, i am very good with a bow and always carry my Sword of Arnedon passed down to my by my grandfather and my two long daggers of Telrunya passed to me by my father after he was killed by orcs in a raid. I prefer to use a bow and have eyes like a hawk whwn it comes to spotting enemies. I have always been ready for a fight but am very good in diplomatic talks and peace keeping rather than running in and killing everything, but sometimes with orcs, quiet talking just doesnt work. As i said i lived in the woods of Lothlorien until i was told by Galadriel and Celeborn of an attempt to colonise Fangorn led by Imbeglin Oronra. I had heard of this elf before and had always wanted to see the wonderous woods of Fangorn so i set off with him and a few other elves. The rest of our adventures are recorded in many other tales like the famous quest into Fangorn scripts written long long ago.

Description: I wear green woodland cloth made in Mirkwood. I carry a bow made of yew that’s is 60 inches when strung. I carry one long thin white elven knife just less than 2 feet long. Its blade is 16 inches long and is made of mithril. The knife is honed only on the downward side, and the point is sharply tapered. With my quiver I also carry a long white thin elven sword. It is 40 inches in total length. The sword is honed only on the downward side, and the point is sharply tapered. This sword’s blade is also made of mithril.
History: I do not now much of my past, but my parents lived in Mirkwood before my father was slain by orcs in battle and my mother ran to find him and was slain by orcs. I was taken and trained in lore and combat by the warriors of Mirkwood.I was told that i was a silven elf. When I was older I scouted and fought many wars a battles on the edges of Mirkwood. Later some of the Mirkwood fighters and I were called to Gondor in there aid. So we went and fought many battles. And they thought me and my compony were so brave and swift in battle that they replayst the blades on my dagger and sword with mithril. Then when i was scouting, I found Fangorn forest and knew this was where I belong. So now I have joined a kinship there and are now fighting for Fangorn. I train and hope to find many comrades to talk with here.

History: I was born in Mirkwood but I don’t remember much of my childhood for they where gloomy years. The two things I do remember is when my parents left for Lothlorien and the day I got the news that my parents where killed. My dad (arimin) and my mom (glathery) left Mirkwood with 50 other elves to Lothlorien. They where ambushed by orcs. Only two escaped. They told me of my parents death. They took me to be trained as an elf archer. I left Mirkwood after my training and wandered middle-earth. Then I found Fangorn Forest
Player info: I am pure hearted. Primary weapon: Mirkwood bow (if they have then). Secondary weapon: the sword they used in Helms Deep. Armor type: light or medium armor (more medium then light).
