Again, here are the Characters Needed:

Character List

I - CORSAIRS:

Mareth – Regin Hardhammer - male
Diera – Rinfanawen – female
Doval – Rinfanawen – male carry along character

-----

Corsairs still needed:

1 male (a trusted officer who has known the Captain a long time)

---

First Posts for Corsairs - Describe your shock and astonishment at seeing a battered Elven ship limp into the Bay. You’re not sure where this vessel has come from or why it is here, but you fear the worst.

II - ELVES:

Luindal – Child of the 7th Age – male, Silvan Elf

-----

Elves still needed: (Should not be of noble blood or from the High Noldor. Should be an ordinary Elf who has made his way to the Grey Havens and is awaiting a ship to make his passage to the West.)

2 male

About Elves in Shire RPG's:

Please use this description from Tolkien when crafting an Elf:

Return of the King – Appendix F: Tolkien’s description for the Quendi (The Speakers) – the name given to the Elves by themselves after they first awoke in Middle-earth.

“They were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as Kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars. They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finrod; and their voices had more melodies than any mortal voice that is now heard . . .”

Please use this as a guideline for describing your Elven character’s appearance.

---

First Posts for Elf - Describe your efforts to battle the storm, tack down the sails and keep the ship upright and sailing, which you barely manage to do. As you said into the Bay itself, you may catch a brief glimpse of a Corsair ship off in a side cove.

III - LOSSOTH (SNOWMEN)

Hilde Halvardsdatter – Regin Hardhammer – female
Galhardir – Orofaniel – anti-Corsair (working with Elves) - male
Rodhal - Orofaniel – male 9 y/o carry-along character; Glahardir’s nephew
Freyn – Taralphiel – anti-Corsair (working with the Elves) - male

-----

Lossoth (Snowmen) still needed:

Pro-Corsair (Will be Snowmen who are working with the Corsairs to find the palantiri in hopes of gaining wealth, influence, and power within their clans)
- 2 males

Anti-Corsair (Working with Elves. Will be Snowmen who dislike the Corsairs and their interference with traditional ways. At the beginning of the RPG will be appointed to help the Elven search party to try and locate the missing palantiri.)
- NONE NEEDED - positions filled (Orofaniel; Taralphiel)

PLEASE NOTE:

If you want to be a Snowman, make sure to note you are applying to be with the Corsairs in the search.

It is assumed that the ships’ crews and the two search parties actually have many more Elves, Corsairs, and Snowmen. However, our story will focus most closely on the few characters played by the posters.

If you’d like, however, you may have a secondary “carry-along” character that you can use or refer to in your posts: a friend or perhaps someone who works for you. Such characters may be male or female, as long as they are believable. A brief profile will be needed. If you are with the “bad guys”, your secondary character must also be a “bad guy”; you may choose a Corsair or a Snowman. If you are with the “good guys”, your secondary character will be good; pick an Elf or a Snowman.

If you want a secondary character, make sure to include this information when you paste up your initial profile and post.

First Posts for Lossoth – Come to the Bay and see the Elven ship as it puts in at the harbor. Describe your feelings and expectations regarding the Corsairs and the Elves. Let us know if you’re already working for the Corsairs or will soon be joining the Elves.
