ATM II Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

JennyHallu · 05-22-2006, 06:02 AM

I will try to get Lola's entrance up sometime today (remember...no one knows they're the same person except for Alli)

However, it is my 21st Birthday. For those who aren't from the US...that means I make absolutely no promises of even being sober, much less actually posting.

Happy Birthday Jenny! How did I miss that?

Don't post today! That would be rampant irresponsibility! Don't neglect your vital ale-downing duties.

Kath · 05-22-2006, 06:18 AM

Happy birthday Jenny! We understand

Have fun!

JennyHallu · 05-22-2006, 06:21 AM

But I can't down ale during work hours...so I was just going to neglect work. Maybe. Is that ok?

Anguirel · 05-22-2006, 06:53 AM

Ale-downing begins in the mind...

Kath · 05-22-2006, 06:56 AM

Neglect! Neglect! It's your birthday, they won't mind

Feanor of the Peredhil · 05-22-2006, 07:01 AM

Happy birthday love. Have fun and be safe. We can wait for Lola.

Maika had just had her moment of vanity, and I seem to have enjoyed it too much.

Anguirel, please edit your post with Maika having already returned when Lola arrived. Thanks!

I confess that I have not been able to find time to read any of the rpg, nor much of the discussion thread, due to RL and other coughwerewolfcough constraints.

Could someone tell me where these events are currently taking place so I know where to pop Anakron in at?

I love writing for this character too much.

So, I'm keeping the Barrow Wight around for a while...

NAME: The Barrow Wight

AGE: Not known. Although he often states that he's "Not old enough".

RACE: Dead... Man... Ghost... Thing.

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: A sword.

APPEARANCE: Tall and broad shouldered with a large shiny skull. Most of him has become skeletal over the years, yet he maintains some areas of flesh and skin as well as some vital organs (presumably including lungs, although this is in discrepancy). His eyes consist of two luminous lights buried deep in his skull that seem to flicker as he blinks. He wears Numenorian armour over which he has a long dark blue shroud that is torn and worn, the hood, however, can conceal his face in shadow and he does a mean Nazgûl impression.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Strangely English in accent and attitude to life in general. Was probably a war veteran of some sort and alludes to military terms on random occasions. Strengths include an extending arm that can crawl around corners to investigate things, although he is reluctant to use this ability, (one of his brothers supposedly did the same once and had his hand cut off by a halfling), also he has some swordsmanship that he will willingly implement if called upon. Also a rather light wit. Weaknesses include a slight pompous attitude that gets him into trouble on several occasions. He is slightly cowardly in the face of battle, although this is rarely seen, as many foes will run from the sight of a walking corpse. He also has an addiction to smoking tobacco.

HISTORY: After the fall of Angmar, the Barrow Wight and his family dwelt for a long while on the Barrow Downs, minding their own affairs. Tom Bombadill became an ally after a while (and several drinks) and they managed to live in harmony for a good many years. The Barrow Wight and some friends decided one day to travel around Middle Earth looking for adventure and things. They came across Minas Mor-go and revived its travelling abilities as well as discovering much of Project Zoom. So, they went around for the next one hundred years, seeking all the other Zooms and getting rid of them. Mount Zoom was last on their list, but as they went to go for it, the thing Zoomed off, quickly they made chase. The Barrow Wight wasn't as bent on destruction as his friends and decided to help out Roggie and the others, hoping he could get a job in the casino (a secret dream he had been harbouring).
