This is my tag along character for Ercuion.

Name: Nefal

Age: 1,048

Race: Elf, Silvan

Gender: Male

Weapons: Long bow and Arrows, short iron dagger/knife, cloth tunic, sturdy leather pauldrons and greaves.

Appearance: medium build, grey eyes, jet black hair down to the middle of his back.

Personality/Strengths/Weaknesses:
Persuasive talker, young and is all about killing anything evil. He is the younger brother of Ercuion, and totally opposite. Much better then Ercuion in weapon skill, but his arrogance and pompous attitude gets him into trouble. He feels Ercuion needs to stop being passive and speak his mind. Nefal will push so hard he might force his older brother to choose between Thranduil or him!

History:
Ercuion's younger brother. Eventhough they were brothers they sort of split off and went on their own paths. Ercuion loved to roam about Mirkwood, where Nefal's only pleasure came in slaying an orc or a deadly animal. Despite their differences they are still fairly close and Ercuion watches over his younger brother, but is Nefal tired of being in the shadow of his older brother?

Boromir88: Thats good. Now if Pio has any furthur questions about, Pio will let you know. At least we now have at least one carry-along. Yeah one less for me to come up with.

Pio: Theres two people so far. Hama will be posting some time soon. Lets just hope that we can get the rest of the number needed. *Sigh*

Hookbill: Just wondering are you going to have a carry-along? If so please go ahead and give me a short character bio about him. I would really appreciate it if you would have a carry-along.

I had not planed on getting a carry along. Unless it was some form of miniature Balrog... I'd rather just stick to the one character for now, I'm still getting used to the whole RPG world. I'm not going to be very adventurous for a while.

_______________________________________

For your character please include:

NAME: Melen

AGE: 458

RACE: Elf

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Long bow, long sword (called Remil), two sleek daggers.

APPEARANCE: Tall and agile, black hair down till shoulders, a cute youngish face which has a never ceasing smile on it, sleepy eyes and doesn't seem to be that well built.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Happy-go-lucky elf, rarely concerned about the problems of the world or even of his own home. He prefers the finer things in life, like food and drink but whenever theres any hint of a fight he isn't the type to back away. He prefers to use speed and strategy rather than brawn to win his battles. If its a fight in a small enclosed area with not much foot room, it would be unlikely of him emerging as the victor but that doesn't bother him much since he prefers not to think at times. He is still young going by elf standards and often gets himself into rather ridculous situations but thats where he relies on his quick wit to save him unfortunately for him its often strength thats his undoing.

HISTORY: He was the only child of Aldora and Ernaster. His father, Ernaster, died when he was but an infant of seven. His mother raised him with great love and affection. His agility came from the mothers side of his family and his wit and logic from his fathers. He ever really worried about much in life and never really did have much to worry about in the first place. He has never been in any big battle except for the time when he and some of his friends staged a fake battle for their own amusment.

Sleepy Ranger's post

He had been trying as hard as he could to listen to what Tharanduil was saying but his attention kept being drawn away by something. Sounds like there'll be a fight. If there is I don't see why I won't be there. He looks hard at Tharanduil not really concerned about the spiders or anything else for that matter.

I wonder if there will be a feast before we leave or if we just leave right away. His fingers were toying around with the hilt of his sword. Hmmm...Ale...don't mind if I do. He gets himself a mug and drains it in one go. Maybe now I'll pay attention.

He looks at Tharanduil again, trying his best not to scream out that they should meet them head on with a large army. Well whatever happens I'm in. It'll be fun after all. The smile that was always on his face was still there and he seemed a bit more happier than usual, the thought of going into a real battle was rather exciting for him.

I've set your post up to be easily transferred to the game, Sleepy Ranger.
