This was a Lord of the Rings role play that a dear friend of mine started up on the original forum. I can't seem to find her or any of the original members-all who I will sorely miss- and decided to carry on their legacy here. It has been 100 years after the war if the ring where Frodo Baggins destroyed the One in the pits of Mt Doom. Yet a new evil brews atop the dark mountain top and it will take a whole new band of heroes to chase it away and keep Middle Earth safe.
Races: Hobbits- They are very short and fat by nature from eating multiple meals a day. Friendly folk who tend to keep to their own and avoid big people. They can move quietly and unseen if they so wish.
Dwarves- Proud,short and stout creatures who mine for precious metals deep within mountains. Fiercely loyal with a hatred of elves.
Elves- The fair creatures of middle earth; tall, thin and beautiful with unending life unless struck down by grief or blade. Two kinds remain in middle earth: The wise and fair grey elves, and the wild and dangerous wood elves
Humans- The humans hail from one of the major kingdoms of Rohan or Gonder, most typically. They live short lives but always make the most of it.
Wizards- The rarest and possibly the most powerful of those who dwell in middle earth. Their use of arcane magic often frightens those unfamiliar with them. Orks, Uruk Hai, Trolls- The main eneimies who serve the dark lord. All three tend to be rather ugly and hard to fight
Characters: Erileth: Also known as Erileth the Brave. She is a Lothlorien wood elf who left the first chance she got. At a very young age she learned common speak and went out into the world. Now she keeps to herself, always travelling, sometimes helping the Riders of Rohan, but always eeting new people.
Parish Took: He was a normal hobbit up until Hobbiton was invaded and had to fight against the uruk hai. His valiant actions led to his capture, where he had planned for months for his escape until he was finally able to. Now he travels with his mule Abby, helping anyone who wished to fight orcs p]
I'm going to try my best to honor my friends and keep this thing alive and kicking However I also lead a very busy life so please bear with me guys. Lets keep the road going ever on!

(I'm so down for this, i know all about middle earth. Are we really gonna have the wizards? they are like demigods... they might be a bit op)
(Joining form) (Btw, can i have one or more characters? I'l start with one) Erileth The Brave. Fighter (so like no trace of magic, but can use all types of weapons. The difference is a fighter is no magic a ranger is some magic a mage is a lot of magic) A wood elf. Erileth was known for leaving the elves the first chance she got. At a very young age she learned common speak and went out into the world. Now she keeps to herself, always traveling, sometimes helping the riders of Rohan, but always meeting new people. Now she is stopped at the small town of [insert name here] to grab a nice drink, trail food, and buy some extra food. (If you care she's a Lothlorien)
(i'm assuming you'd care about what she has) Inventory: Short Sword Dagger Cloak Leather chest piece Bow Whip Trail Rations x7 Rope Tent (She doesn't have a mount at the moment. I'm so happy you did this rp, i love lord of the rings so much)

(i'm gonna create one more, then if you want we can start the rp) (Oh! i forgot about Erileth's skills. She is proficient in navigation, speaks many languages, and can climb quite well. She is best at using a bow and arrow, but can use a sword and whip equally well) Parish Took. Scout. Skills, Cooking, Stalk and Hide, Pick Lock, and Disarm Trap. Parish was a normal hobbit, but then, when he was merely twenty Hobbiton was attacked. Parish fought against the Uruk Hai valiantly, striking down many. Seeing his proficiency in combat they knew their leader would be proud, so when they ran from Hobbiton they took Parish as a captive. He spent months planning his escape, and eventually did. He now travels with his mule Abby, trying to help any who wish to fight against the orcs.
Inventory: Cooking supplies Fire starter Dagger Tent Bedroll Rope Trail food x9 (If you're gonna have like levels, just to see how good they are, Parish is about level five - seven, whereas Erileth is about level twelve)

Ok sweet!! Do you mind if I put them on the front later? I'm feeling super lazy rn but I promise it'll be done by tomorrow )) And also my character is Minsy (which is short for something that will probably be revealed later because why not) She is a wood elf from Mirkwood who was raised by Radagast. She's pretty short for an elf and she has short, messy blonde hair and blue eyes)) Lets RP, shall we?))

Erileth walked through the gate of Edoras and smelled the crisp air. She headed straight for the town center, hoping to sell some venom she got from the Murkwood Spiders. Erileth was one of the only elves that visited Edoras after the battle there, so she stood out like a sore thumb. She scanned the crowd for anyone who might want it, her eyes landing on an elf who was surprisingly short, and had her hair cut short, which was not allowed in the elven cities. She knew this meant the girl had given up on the elven lifestyle as well. She rested her hand on the pommel of her sword instinctively as she strode towards the girl "You getting stares too?" She smiled, nodding to a woman who had her jaw dropped as a man whispered in her ear.
(idk how descriptive you want me to be, so tell me if this is good) (I'm gonna save Parish for later on in the rp, for now he's in the reserves)

No worries sounds good)) Minsy is a ranger)) And that is some quality rping right there, and you can RP however you like I'm not picky))
Minsy jumped in surprise, her eyes tilting upwards to meet with the girl who spoke with her. 'Another elf?' She blinked, unsure of how to reply or react. That was when Minsy noticed how people were indeed staring at her. "Oh would you look at that?" She mused quietly, unused to being around anyone. She had come to Edoras periodically, mostly to run errands since she rarely travelled into Thranduils domain.

Erileth decided the girl was not bad, and took her hand from the pommel of her sword and rested it on her hip. Erileth was well... buff, even for a human. She could often beat dwarves in arm wrestles. "I was wondering if you would like to purchase some murkwood spider poison, it's very potent, and if it won't kill you immediately, it will definitely stun you." She had dealt with these spiders before, and her best friend Calcemo was... Wasn't privy to the spiders when she asked him to cross murkwood with her. It was getting late, and most of the men decided to leave the two strange folk to do their business as they went to various inns and taverns to listen to music, dance, laugh, and enjoy themselves (Thank you for the compliment <3)

Minsy made note of the gesture, and in turn also relaxed slightly. "Spider poison, hmm? How much do you want for it?" Not like she had a clue what she was going to do with the stuff, but one never knew when they may need some spider poison.

"Just... just two copper pieces for the three vials" Erileth gave the girl a discount, you could never have enough friends. (Should something dire happen to make them go from business partners to friends) The girl seemed powerful, she could sense magic radiating off her. "You here alone or can you have someone tag along?" Erileth put on a goofy grin, she had nothing else to do that night, and wanted to have some fun.

I'm all about dire situations lets do it!!))
"You got yourself a deal." Minsy fished in her bag for her coins. The girls question had also caught her off guard. She was so used to being alone, or in the company of animals-which sometimes couldn't really count- or Radagast. "Why would you want to be around me?" She stared at the ground for a second, her eyes growing distant with old memory before she handed the girl the coins

(am i the only one who like hardcore ships them right now? lmao) "I.. I'm lonely" Erileth blushed as she handed the girl the vials "My name is Erileth, my title to those i face in battle is Erileth the Brave though" She quickly regained her confidence "And i think you seem awesome!" She gave a reassuring smile" Erileth didn't understand it. She had met every kind of person but still thought she would never be good enough to talk to an elf after she cut her hair.
(orcs at the door? Robbing? you choose. Oh! we could go to a tavern, where there are sauron worshippers in the basement, they can summon the witch king... oh wait he'd dead lol)

I was kinda thinking the same thing lol the first ship of the RP))
Minsy smiled softly. "Is that so? My name is Minsy...just Minsy." She suddenly realized how plain her name sounded and shyly looked away. "Can I call you Eri?" Minsy placed the vials on the pouch she kept on her hip, on the opposite from her sword
Who doesn't love a little ork action)

Is Minsy part wizard? Radagast's daughter and the first female wizard? that would be real cool!)
Erileth smiled "I never thought of that" she responded to Minsy's question "You can call me Eri of course, i actually really like that name, and i like yours too" Erileth scanned the town "What do you want to do? The world is our oyster" Eri showed a goofy grin to Minsy.
Okay, orks it is!)

At one point I did consider that but nah she's just an orphaned/cast out elf who got picked up along the way by him))
Minsy chuckled, feeling rather amused by this girl. It was strange. This was the first other female she had actually carried on a long conversation with and it was nice change. "I actually came here looking for an apothecary." She had nearly forgotten her original intention of coming all this way

(Oh, and what level would you say Minsy is, like in any video game, As an example Gandalf is level 80, Radaghast is 60, and Legolas is 30. I think we should be on the lower end)
"Apothecary?" Erileth was puzzled "There's one right outside of town, i saw it when i walked in, but it's too late to go out there now. The gate's been closed." Erileth's sarcastic, and loud voice softened "What happened?" She bent her knees to meet Minsy's pretty blue eyes "I know it may not seem it, but i understand how it feels to loose someone" She thought back to Calcemo's screams as the spiders ate him alive, she was next, but she got out alive. Erileth grimaced at the pain thinking of it caused.

Hmm probably 12 or 13))
Minsy instantly dropped her gaze. "I guess the time just slipped away from me." She noticed the sudden change in Erileth's attitude. "No one in middle earth is free from grief and I am no exception-" Minsy froze, catching a sound on the breeze. It was faint, very faint, but her senses were very sharp due to the dangerous woods she lived. There was something familiar about the sound, and it sent chills down her as she tried to identify it

Erileth saw Minsy go rigid and listened aswell. She had bad feeling about that sound "Minsy" She whispered, hearing the sound get louder, almost sounding like a chant "Is your sword elven?" She strung her bow, and took out her quiver, hearing the sound get louder. The Men still cheerfully sang and drank.

Minsy swallowed hard before pulling the blade out just an inch. Blue light glowed softly from it. Her face grew very serious, more of a seasoned warrior than the shy elf she was just seconds ago. " Orcs." Her voice was stone cold and she drew out the full length of the blade, catching a few odd looks from the townspeople close enough to see

"We must go to the gates" Eri stashed her bags down an alleyway then followed her ears to the side of the city. She ran through the tons of buildings and climbed the stairs on the edge of the wall. She could clearly hear the chant, and the steady beating of a drum as the orks approached. This town had been ravaged by the savages once before, and knew it was not as strong as it was during the war against saurumon. At the top of the wall were a few soldiers who had drunk themselves silly. She tried to warn one, but he was top drunk. Deciding she'd be better suited to defend the town Eri punched the man out, taking his leather armor. "Why are they here?" she asked Minsy who was nearb as she strapped on bracers and put on the man's metal helmet. A young half elf boy had heard the commotion and had followed the two up the wall. He tugged Mimsy's sleeve "You need help, what can i do?" He had a sword of hiw own, but was very good at magic for his age
(Sorry for the megapost, couldn't help myself)

Lol its all good))
"They are Orcs,Eri, don't try to understand them" She said bitterly, wishing she had brought her bow with her. Minsy looked at the boy. "Gather the people who can fight. We need a force to drive these monsters back." The sound droned on louder and louder as the Orcs got even closer. Minsy could see their ugly faces looming towards her and she gritted her teeth, hoping her sword wouldn't slip from her sweaty palms

"Minsy" Erileth shivered from fear, something that she rarely did "if they get close, i'm jumping off the wall. I can hold them back for longer than ten of these men. Erileth took the man's bow and handed it to Minsy. "Minsy what if this town has something important, that's why they attack this town in such force" Erileth coudn't help but think about these things. The boy ran off, by the time he was back with about fifty men and women, the orks were in sight. They readied themselves as best they could.

Minsy curled a fist around the bow. "I will go with you to face them then." She had a certain steel in her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to watch this woman jumped willing into a mass of Orcs and then standby and shoot arrows from above. That simply wasn't her style. "Whatever their reason, we will take them all out or fight until we cannot anymore."
Sorry but I'm really tired rn >.< I'll be back tomorrow, good night!))
