NAME: Madoc Hurnt

AGE: 56

RACE: Hobbit

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: A wooden walking stick, an dagger that is a family heirloom

APPEARANCE: A rather thin hobbit, who keeps the weight off by chasing the young hobbits away from his crops. His brown hair is rather long, and curls in a tangled mop.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Madoc is a rather internal hobbit, yet that doesnt stop him from making a name for himself. He is well known in Buckland for his simple pleasures and quick wit. Nights will usually find him sitting outside his door gazing at the stars while enjoying his pipe. Madoc has lately felt that he needs to get up and see something new, if only for a short time.

HISTORY: Madoc has lived in Hobbiton before coming to his current homestead. He is a farmer, yet his 5 sons do most of the work. He is the oldest son in his family, and has always felt a responsibility for his siblings, especially his youngest sister, Rose

Madoc had always lived a good life. He had a beautiful family, a laid back and easy-going lifestyle, many friends. What more could a hobbit ask for? Yet many a night had found him sitting outside with his pipe looking at the stars and questioning himself. Something had grown inside him, could it be what had caused that hobbit to leave so long ago...what was his name, Bilbo?

That was when it was still safe to be outside at night. Lately things had grown dangerous, something new to people around here. Livestock were turning up dead, and even Toby Mugwort's dog had been killed. His own dog seemed nervous outside.

Madoc had a family to think of, and that was what had driven him to the town meeting. He could barely contain himself with how long the mayor had waited to address this issue. Yet he kept himself in check, and the anger slowly dissapated. The meeting progressed, and the plan of action was announced. Toby was to lead a group to find this "thing". As man and hobbit alike argued over the outcome, and who should join, Madoc stayed quiet in his seat.

Madoc respected Toby quite alot, but he really couldn't see himself doing something this daring. He stood up to go, but was pushed forward in the ruckus, his hand went up and the Mayor called him out. "Madoc Hurnt! Are you volunteering to join this cause?" The old mayor bellowed.

It took a moment for the words to sink in. Madoc stammered a reply. "Well, no...I...well I mean..." Suddenly that feeling that he needed something more took over, and the yearning for adventure rose. "I mean YES, yes I am." What was done was done, this was going to be very interesting.
