Earwen is built like your typical elf, tall and thin yet strong. Her hair is a silky white with darker streaks at the roots and it falls down to her waist. Her bangs are two long strands braided behind her head and her eyes are a very pale yellow. She wears a dusty grey woven shirt with half-length sleeves. During a fight, she wears a dull silver elven chestplate. Her pants are dark grey and she wears dark brown boots. She has leather fingerless gloves, and while fighting has dull silver arm braces. There are several pouches on her belt, and her bow and quiver are slung over her shoulder. She has a couple straps on one thigh where she keeps her daggers. Over all this she wears a deep green hooded cloak. | Earwen is usually very softspoken and tends to keep to herself, but she is very friendly once she warms up to someone. However, being a typical Mirkwood elf, it takes a very long time for her to trust someone. She will often get lost in her thoughts, and much prefers being in the company of nature rather than other individuals. Despite her softspoken nature, if pushed far enough sharp words will leave her mouth. | She is a great shot with a bow and arrow and has decent blade skills, but the most she's ever fought is the occasional giant spider lurking in the forest. | She knew very little of the world outside Mirkwood for most of her life, until she found a little silver ring and it thrust her into the adventure of a lifetime. She traveled all over Middle Earth and encountered all races and beasts. The quest to destroy the ring was not finished without conflict, as it once claimed her as its own. Her mind became forfeit to the ring's influence and she launched attack after attack on the forces of good, even on her own homeland. Once the ring was destroyed she temporarily lost her memory of the events, but upon regaining them returned to Mirkwood to make up for her actions many times over and has since not left the forest. |  Her best friend is her horse Alqua. Alqua is a mostly white mare with light grey dappling on her flanks and legs. | Kuragehime

Minuialwen (Minsy) is a rather short Elf, standing at a mere 5'3. She has chin-length blonde hair that she actually cut herself, so it is choppy and wild, tending to fly about when the wind blows. Her eyes are a deep blue, like staring into the deepest part of the sea. She wears whatever is available to her, but typically it's tan pants that hang tightly to her small waist. A forest green sleeveless shirt is what she usually sports for a top, with some sort of cover-sometimes a long black coat or sometimes even a cape. Her boot are black in color and rise just above her ankles. Don't mistake her petite size for weakness, in hand to hand combat Minsy is as accomplished as any other Elf, and she prides herself on her archery skills. | She's kind to a fault, and more loyal than a canine. Somewhat naïve, Minsy likes to look to those she deems above her for guidance. She ferociously protective and hates being taken advantage of more than anything else. Betraying her will be one of the last things you do. She loves her friends more than anything else and takes comfort in their presence. She doesn't like being by herself, ironic for someone who used to spend so much time out in the woods alone. | She was raised in the forests of Mirkwood by none other than Radagast the Brown. Her mother Calithil recently traveled to Valinor (She was a Rivendale elf), leaving Minsy totally devoid of any family relatives in Middle Earth. | twilightfire

She has light brown almost golden hair that goes to her shoulders and is a little curly and has light skin and brown eyes. She wears a light lavender dress with a darker cape/shawl. She has a hobbit-sized chestplate and chainmail shirt that she keeps on display in her room from her travels with Earwen, and has vowed never to need to wear them again. | She is very sweet and helpful, but also naive, aloof, and a little happy-go-lucky. She loves to eat, and she finds fun in everything. She is very trustworthy, and would do anything for family or friends (within reason). | Poppy is mediocre with the sword and combat in general. She is a brilliant baker and now devotes all her time to the hobby. | She lives in the Shire on her own and after returning from Gondor has no desire to leave ever again, as she is very much a scaredy-cat. She was born and raised in Hobbitton. | Kuragehime

Teonvan is of average height, and is strongly built. His hair is dark brown and fairly short. His eyes are a lighter brown than his hair. He wears a dark green long-sleeved undershirt, and over this he wears a tunic of the same color that goes down to about his knees. Over these, he wears a dark grey jerkin, and thick dark leather gloves on his hands. His pants are greyish brown, and he wears dark brown knee-high boots and a black cape with the white tree of Gondor on the back. When in combat, he wears silver Gondor armor (chestplate, arm braces, shoulder armor), and the chest plate has the patter of the White Tree on it. | If you were to observe Teonvan, the first thing you would notice is that he is a work-a-holic. He is always doing something, whether it is training or sending his rangers out on patrols or even helping Nerade with something…and he doesn’t know how to take a break. He is also very chivalrous and protective of the ones he is close to. Well, to be more precise, he tends to be a bit of a worrywart when it comes to the people he is closest to. When he is in front of people he always puts on a serious front and tries to show no weakness, with a few exceptions. | Teonvan is skilled with the longsword and shield, and is learning archery. | Teonvan was born in Southern Gondor in Ithilien where his father was a member of the Ithilien rangers. Once he was old enough, Teonvan also joined the rangers and eventually found himself in the royal guard. Along the way, he met Nerade and Daerion of the royal family and became fast friends with both siblings. There was a period of time when they were separated, and all were surprised the day Teonvan walked into the throne room as one of the new guards, and accompanied them on their many trips to the North. He has stuck close to the siblings ever since. | Kuragehime

Acharnor is a tall man with olive complexion. His thick hair is straight and black and often worn in a low ponytail. His eyes are dark brown, though the color is only really noticeable in direct sunlight. His face and forearms are criss-crossed with scars from the "training" he has done, and he has one long scar across his chest. He wears what looks almost like a double-layered kimono. The innermost layer is a pale pastel yellow, and the layer above is a deep dark red. Both layers go down to just above his knees, and over them he wears a black robe that is a bit longer. He has crudely spiked charcoal grey armor on his shoulders and forearms, and wears thick leather gloves most of the time as well. He has a chain around his neck with a dragon's tooth dangling from it, and two small gold hoop earrings on one ear. His pants are a pale beige and his boots are dark grey with pointed steel toes. During battle, he wears a steel scaled chestplate akin to the normal Easterling army, and wields a halberd with skill. | Acharnor is a cold and calculating man, with virtually no moral compass. He does not hesitate in combat and will not so much as bat an eyelash as he burns down a town. | His family has been in the Easterling army for generations, and he heard much about Sauron and his goals as well as how the Easterlings were destroyed by the Men of the West in the War of the Ring. In result, he has vowed to exact revenge not only on Gondor but on all of the western kingdoms. | Despite his skills with the halberd, he alone is not much of a threat. However, he has a knack for taming dragons and other vile creatures and getting them to do his bidding. As was mentioned before, he is an Easterling from the land of Rhun, hailing from a small village near the inland sea. His steed is a fell beast, one he found hiding in the shadows of the nearby mountain range. | Kuragehime

Eldacar has medium length brown hair, with blue eyes. He wears the traditional Arnorian armor, kept freshly polished, and clean. He also has his ornate sword, with has been passed down through his side of the family for generations now. | Eldacar is a loyal vassal to the King of Gondor, but sometimes believes that the methods the Kings of Gondor use are to weak to ever bring true peace to Middle Earth. He is a calm and calculated man, but brave as well. He cares for his soldiers that serve with him, and is often on the frontlines as well. | Eldacar is an expert swordsmen, spending most of his time training with the sword, and learning how to govern. He is also a capable General, having lead many expeditions against remaining Orc Strongholds in Gundabad, and Misty Mountains. | Eldacar grew up in the restored capital of Arnor, Annuminas. His father, Amlaith was the Steward of Arnor before him, but was ambushed in an Orc raid, a few years ago. Putting Eldacar in the Steward position. ((Will update more later.)) | Steward of Arnor | telirius

Iszak stands a little taller than most men at 6'1", with a large stature, broad shoulders and pale skin with a hint of dusty olive tone to it. His hair is a dirty blonde/gingerish colour, and is kept short although can get into his eyes, and he does keep some facial hair grown out but overall stays well-groomed (at least when he has the luxury to do so). A tall oblong-shaped face with rounded cheekbones, a wide jaw, narrow monolided eyes almost give him an always-content and kind look that if it weren't for the facial hair and tall stature he might be mistaken for much younger than he is. Normally he wears very simple and functional clothing, but he really likes wear a brown furred coat that possibly the nicest piece of clothing he owns. | Iszak is a loyal friend and has a reputation for being a good person but he's distant, duplicitous, and doesn't seem to have any strict moral code. He comes across as friendly, kind, and selfless, but he's also secretive and easily capable of lies, deception, or any manner of shady things if it serves either his whims or to help anyone he considers a friend, he just makes sure not to be caught doing it. He picks his battles very carefully so these cases tend to be few and far between. Social and rarely on his own but again not very open with other people, though extremely reliable and resourceful he's often the quiet tag-along friend to a group. He's keenly observant, makes decisions carefully, and persuasive. | Archery, skilled with bows but often carries a crossbow instead, also skilled in hunting and navigation. | Born and raised in Gondor but has some Easterling ancestry. | Morior

Melia is tall, and just about as pale as a full moon. Her eyes are a dark brown, and her hair is black and ends just past her shoulder blades. She usually wears it down, with a strand falling on either side of her face. She wears a long flowing dress with long sleeves and a V-neck. The dress is a pale sky blue and fades to white at her feet. On top of this, she has a dark blue belt high on her waist, and her staff is silver with a purple jewel at the end. She wears a silver band on each wrist, and a deep blue sleeved cloak over everything. | Melia is a complicated individual. She has a very high opinion of herself and has a tendency to flaunt her skills when taking care of business. Nothing pleases her more than seeing the tormented faces of those she is sent to 'take care of'. She is sly and deceiving, doing her best to pry details from those around her while keeping them at arms' length from herself at the same time. | Melia has learned blackspeech, and you can sometimes hear her cursing in it under her breath. Some of her spells are in blackspeech as well. Her spells are mostly destructive, but she has taken to learning spells of healing as of late. | Melia is very secretive about her history and though she will drop hints about just how lengthy it is, she refuses to give out an actual number. However, she will let out little snippets of unimportant events, such as a person she once met or a fight she once won. She lived a lot of her early life in a northern port town and somehow made her way to Mordor. However, now that there is nothing left for her in Mordor she spends her days wandering and dropping in on acquaintances here and there. | Kuragehime

Nerade is slightly taller than the average for humans and has fair skin due to being half-elven. Her hair is raven black and falls just to her shoulders. She leaves it down most of the time, but for formal/important occasions she will put it up. Her bangs are cut straight across her forehead, and her eyes are a greyish blue. Her favorite outfit is the standard Gondor knight armor with the White Tree on the chestplate, though hers is a bit "fancier". She also wears a black cloak with this, and a longsword on her waist. You will never see her wear a helmet, even in battle. Just as she will change her hairstyle for important occasions, her wardrobe changes as well. If the situation requires it she will wear a dress, but it will be replaced with armor as soon as the appointment is over. | Nerade is a very loud and enthusiastic person, always loving to poke fun at the people she's close to. However, she does know when she needs to act mature. She tends to get in the middle of fights, and fight she does. She is brave and daring, as well as prideful. But even though her pride sometimes gets in the way of her kindness, she is a sweet person... once you get past the sarcasm. She craves adventure, is very ambitious, and holds powerful grudges. | Nerade is skilled with the sword and many other bladed weapons but refuses to even touch a bow. She is very strong through her daily training and is good with horses. | Nerade and her brother Daerion were born to King Aragorn's son Eldarion while Eldarion was visiting Arnor in the North. They returned to Minas Tirith during their childhood, and were fairly free to pursue what they wanted. When the siblings were older they returned to the North with their father, but the trip ended in tragedy. A surprise attack on the royal family ended the trip early and only Nerade and Daerion survived mostly thanks to Teonvan. Since the event Nerade has been helping her brother rule Gondor. She got tangled up in the mess surrounding the second ring of power and commanded the troops of Minas Tirith in her brother's absence, though now she spends most of her time with the knights and Teonvan instead of the throne room. | Kuragehime  

Daerion is a tall and lean man with chin length dark brown hair and grey eyes. His bangs are parted to either side of his face, falling lightly over his sharp features. He always wears a rather sullen look on his face, perhaps a result of the pressures of ruling such a large kingdom, or having a sister like Nerade. He wears armor fit for a king, with a large White Tree on his chest and a long cloak flowing behind him. He wears a longsword and a dagger on his waist and leather gloves on his hands. | He is much more serious than his younger sister Nerade, but just as goal-driven. He is the more intelligent of the siblings and always seems to be hiding something behind his stoic face. However, he is a fair ruler and the people are happy under his command. He has proven to be proficient in battle, cold and calculating. | Daerion specializes in swordsmanship, as mentioned before with the multiple blades he carries. He is also a good tactician, and is working on his ruling skills. | He suddenly had to take the throne after their father Eldarion was killed in a surprise raid in the north, and though the beginning of his career was rocky he has greatly improved. He was in the North during the events of the second ring and only returned shortly after reconstruction began on Minas Tirith.  | Kuragehime
