Sorry for the wait!

POSTED TO PROPOSAL - PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU EDIT IT ~*~ PIO

NAME: Monôizindu Igmizadan

AGE: 113

RACE: Númenorian

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: If Monôizindu is going to only be around his shop, he will carry a long dagger tucked beneath his clothes. Its blade is narrow and has a dulled silver hilt. He does not remember the last time it was used as a weapon, but it does come in handy as an everyday tool. When traveling to the outlying farms, he will carry the bow his father had made for each of his sons. It is of sturdy wood with golden stars engraved along the back.


APPEARANCE: Monôizindu has been a large man in his lifetime. He stands just slightly above the average height of a Númenorian man and still his frame is thick, but muscle that was built around his sturdy bones is now only a hint of its former stature. His face is long and is covered by a well-kept, short beard that shows a slight reddish tint that contrasts with his dark brunet hair. His blue eyes are clear and full of life as they overlook his slightly widened nose. A small scar can be seen across the bridge of his nose. Monôizindu’s face and arms are slightly tanned from the short time he spends out of doors each day, but over the last months his face has a pale appearance, despite the color.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Monôizindu has a strong sense of morality and a high standard by which he lives. He is outgoing and kind, so that he easily gains trust from others, whether warranted or not. This quality aids in his position of staying hidden among the people in Armenelos and being trusted by those in opposition of the goals and beliefs of the Faithful. His downfall could possibly be how easily he opens his heart to people. He is careful, in that he doesn’t let on who he really is, but he cares for those that he knows will be destroyed if the Valar lash out against Númenor.


HISTORY: The second of five sons that grew up on the family plantation, Monôizindu learned at an early age the value of hard work. Despite the focus on physical labor, Monôizindu’s father, Izindibatân, made a tremendous effort to educate his sons in the rich history of their country and that of the Eldar.

Once he came of the age to do so, Monôizindu attended military school where he learned the importance of discipline in life. Of all the lessons he learned, the clearest was how precious life is and how quickly one can lose it. It was an icy day and the young men were to take a small boat out on the river to perform a maneuver they had done many times. This time, however, something went terribly wrong and Monôizindu was sent over the edge of the boat into the freezing water. When he hit the water, he bashed his head on a large rock and went unconscious. Fortunately, one of the other students, a young man named Abârpânarú, jumped in the water after him and pulled him to safety. In the weeks that followed, Monôizindu became very ill as he had swallowed a lot of water, and Abârpânarú came and sat with him everyday. The two became close, and Monôizindu cherished the friendship into adulthood.

During his early adulthood, Monôizindu moved into Armenelos with his older brother, Adûntârik. The pair bought a run-down shop and, after a bit of remodeling, they shared a small business in the center of the city’s market. To remain among the few hidden Faithful in Armenelos, Monôizindu uses his charisma to befriend the people who readily come through his shop, and from them, he easily obtains infor

mation pertinent to the Faithful’s cause.

If it's too rough, let me know what I can fix. Thanks!

It looks like every thing is done.

Shall I open the discussion thread for the game? There is only one cameo character to pick up; that is, if you decide you still need that character.

Great bio, Alak! One quibble and one speculation. First the quibble.

Quote:

Such a task would never be easy. I'd say "skillfully" would really well. Like I said, it's a quibble.

Now for the speculation. I can imagine Abarpanaru saying something like, "Monôizindu gave his life for my freedom. I will not allow his sacrifice to be for naught." Not that a death must occur, but I just thought I'd bring up the possibility.

There seems to be some question about how much the sect of the faithful knew about Erendil's departure. Orignially, I had envisioned that they did not know at all about the journey across the ocean. In samsmyhero's post, he seems to indicate that they did know generally, but that they had no idea when it would happen.

Quote:
...if they missed the sailing for the east...
But my post doesn't really specify how much information they had already, so there was no need for sam to edit his post. Please tell me if this is okay, if not I will be glad to edit it for more clarification.

Now that all characters (except for the one that shows up at the end of the game) have gotten their stuff in, can we get started? Or should we wait for that final person to be procured....? Looking forward to the game!
