NAME: Alvinac

AGE: 35

RACE: Mortal; Breelander.

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: An old double-bladed sword and a slingshot he doesn't remember how to use.

APPEARANCE: Dirty dark-red hair, and a short beard. He's a little taller than normal, but only an inch or two. He has dark cinnamon colored eyes, but they sometimes look of reddish color.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: He's the almost the average mortal: He drinks almost every day, likes to start fistfights, and loves a good laugh. Being raised by only his father, Alvinac is a rough man with a rough heart. Although he's not mean, he doesn't take kindly to people like hobbits and elves. He is an excellent one-on-one fighter, but isn't to great with his sword.

HISTORY: His mother died in childbirth, so his widowed father brought him up. Alvinac's father was a farmer and hunter, and wanted his son to be just like him. Being taught to fight and farm at a young age, he was an average boy. When his father died of a freak farm tool accident, he moved into town. Even though he had all of the skills of a farmer, he took up the occupation of a miller. Alvinac met another miller's daughter, Genevieve, and they married when he was twenty-four. Genevieve, like Alvinac's mother, died in childbirth with their first and only child, a daughter named Karianne. Alvinac brought Karianne up alone as well, and taught her a few skills of a miller and a man. She, unlike most of her friends, could fight as good as any boy her age.

***

Name: Karianne (Kari), Daughter of Alvinac the Miller
Age: 11 mortal years
Appearance: Shoulder length dark red/brown curly hair and brown eyes. She is very tall and lean.
History: Kari was brought up by her father in a cabin near the woods, learning to fight and farm. She is very interested in learning about Hobbits, but her father will not allow it. She was taught to respect them, but only come in contact with things other than Mortals when earthly necessary.

ArwenBaggins's post - Alvinac and Kari

Alvinac sat quietly in the mill, with his eleven-year-old daughter Kari focusing on pouring lumpy flour beside him. The room was quiet, and the only disturbance was a small mouse scampering in and out of the barrels of flour.

Kari, looking around to make sure her father wasn't watching, reached down beside the barrel she was sitting on and pulled up a book. Alvinac often asked her how a hobbit could write a book when most hobbit's couldn't read, but Kari always had an answer. "I borrowed it from Miss Woolthistle. She said that Mistress Camelia Goodchild Zaragamba wrote it. She was a real smart hobbit." Her father told her that she would never come in contact with a hobbit and she didn't need to know how to act around one, but she read the book anyway.
Not even looking up from his work, Alvinac sternly uttered, "Karianne Alexia, put the book down." Kari rolled her eyes and leaned down again to drop the book.

She was stopped when they heard shouts from the streets. The girl perked up and ran toward the door. "Papa! Let's go! A Ranger's out there, and there might be some fights!" Without waiting an answer, Kari bolted down the stairs toward the Prancing Pony.

Alvinac met his daughter on the steps of the Pony, his fists raised. "Papa... the note says that we're gonna be having a meetin' with Hobbits!" She tried to sound angry, but her joy could be heard and seen.

Her father lowered his fist with a jerk, and leaned in to make sure his inquisitive daughter was telling the truth. Seeing that the note did state that, he clenched his teeth and grabbed Kari's arm. "At this meeting..."

Kari smiled. 'He's going!' She thought to herself. Alvinac must have seen it in her eyes, because he quickly retorted, "If we go..." Then he paused. "You will arouse no interest of these Hobbits. You understand?"
Her copper-colored curls lowered at first, but then she nodded and looked hopefully up at him.

Her father rubbed her head and sighed, "Go get your book. I'll teach you some new foot techniques." Kari's grin widened, and she ran off down the crowded lane to the mill.
