2. Your character's beautiful appearance (particularly the hair and eyes) must be described at least once per day, using a minimum of four adjectives on each occasion.
3. Your character must also appear in a stunning new outfit at frequent intervals– even if your character is on a long, arduous journey in the wilderness. In fact, make that especially if your character is on a long, arduous journey in the wilderness.
4. You may launch into a detailed account of your character's beauty, talents, tragic past etc. at any time, regardless of what else is going on. (Yes, I do mean in the middle of a fight.)

perhaps add the following:
5. The death of a parent or loved one (usually done in by orcs) is central to your character's melancholia.
6. The desire for an unrequited love, a love who has already sailed into the West, or in any case a love who is far off, is central to your character's melancholia.
7. A weapon of unlimited and arcane power is naturally a requirement.
8. Your character must have abilities that are not necessarily canonical to Tolkien (ie., telepathy over hundreds of miles, magic in a non-magic race, beserker power to slay hundreds of orcs at one sitting, etc.).
9. Your character should either speak in a heightened, almost-Shakepearean manner, or else talk in modern slang.
10. Without our aid, the ring-bearer will ultimately fail.
