Genandra of Mirkwood · 04-01-2002, 03:27 PM

Hi there- is it too late to join the RPG?? I'm brand new to the site but have begun to create the character Genandra in other forums. As she is a Mirkwood elf, here we are! I'm a long-time Tolkien fan and writer, but still refining both Tolkien knowledge and writing skills so I'm open to any and all suggestions. Please let me know if it's possible to join the RPG. Here's the goods on Genandra so far:

I am an elf of Mirkwood, born to a common family but in the distant past we had connection to the Eldar so there is a yearning in me both to travel and to learn of other races. That will not happen until during/after the War of the Rings. I am older, in appearance around 28, and known for kindness and wisdom. Basically, I am a healer, in particular a healer of plants and animals. I do talk to them and enjoy their company better than my own kind, though I rarely let that show. I may have husband and children or have lost them in battle? I carry a slender knife in the folds of my tunic but my main weapon is the bow, of which I am very skilled. Since I spend much time in the deep forests, often alone, I've had occasion to battle spy-parties of orcs. I am a poet and write poems of trees and plants. After the War of the Ring, I'll have heard rumors of the ents and finally give in to my wandering yen, undertaking a journey to Fangorn. As the ents learn of my skills they will put me to work restoring the green things of Isengard. Like me, they want to see the waste places brought back to life. I also think they hope I can make it a place that will appeal to the Entwives.

That's it so far! I will immediately get onto the suggestion of re-reading the Hobbit and the Silmarillion for more info on the Silvan elves. Good to meet all of you.
