Sting Soldier of Gondor

This game looks great. I would like to portray a soldier of Gondor, so here is my character bio. Hope you like!

Character Description Form:

1.) Have you ever played in an RPG at the Barrow Downs? – YES/NO - Which one?
Yes, Wilderness, Weathertop and Wild Things

2.) How many RPG’s on the Barrow Downs are you currently involved in?
1

List them, please: Wilderness, Weathertop and Wild Things

Please note you may play in only 2 (TWO) Shire games at one time. Exceptions to this may be made for this on a case by case basis by the Shire Moderators. (The Green Dragon Inn DOES NOT count as a game for this.)


3.) Have you posted in The Green Dragon Inn – YES
_______________________________________

For your character please include:

NAME: Barak

AGE: 40

RACE: Men (Gondorian)

GENDER: male

WEAPONS: Barak carries a double-edged broadsword and a round oaken shield as well as a good yew bow. He also carries a hunting knife. His warhorse, Kane, could also be considered a weapon. His fists are also potent weapons.

APPEARANCE: He is short and stocky, with a scraggly black beard and a wide nose. He dresses in drab brown coat and trousers and thick leather boots. He wears a sturdy mail jacket and steel-backed gauntlets when in battle.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: He is stubborn and has a wild temper. When in battle, he is berserker. He can be rude. Despite all this, he believes very firmly in justice. He is also a staunch supporter of King Elessar. Despite his heavy build, he is surprisingly stealthy. He is unusually strong and a very good shot with his bow. He is not very quick on his feet or agile. He tends to think things through before he acts, which some people interpret as being slow, but he is not. He is actually very intelligent.

HISTORY: He was raised on a simple farm and was one of five children, all boys. He was a rowdy boy who liked to play at war. He possessed a natural leadership even at a young age, and grew up to join the Gondorian military. He is a devoted career soldier of Gondor.

Alasoron's post

Huddling over a meager fire, Barak pulled his cloak closer against the biting wind. It was warmer in Gondor. He had lost count of how long they had been on the march. Surely it had been weeks. Though he was beginning to lose faith in his commander, he could never doubt King Elessar.

Uther Kahir was wild and often psychotic, but he was just the type of single-minded, agressive field officer needed for this type of mission. Not that Lieutenant Uther was the type to disclose information unneccesarily, but Barak knew something of what was going on.

They had been sent to siege and destroy the Orc/Goblin stronghold on Mt. Gundabad. King Elessar had ordered diplomatic efforts first, though he must have known it was hopeless. It would end in battle, and slaughter. Which was fine with Barak.
