Whichever way is better for you. If you have an idea, you can sketch it out and I can add/edit whatever is necessary.

For that matter, I had a bit of busy time in the last week, but I assume I should have time soon to write down something for my character(s).

And as for the "deadline" idea, I think that's a good idea as well. Two weeks or such would be good, I'd say.

Theolain? Awww.

Two weeks sounds good.

I like the idea of working together on that big post, Nogrod, and please do start it. PM should work.

[Nogrod]

Lmp: I'll take time to write the first version of the Jump-post in a few days (the weekend the very latest) and we can PM-build it from there.

Starting the new thread before the Midsummer - or to honour the Midsummer perhaps? (Especially if the name of the thread is referring to hard winters...)

Wulfric and Wilheard went with King Éomer('s troops) on a campaign to the East and poor Wulfric died there. So woeful Wilheard is going to be assigned to Scarburg to "get over it" and "man up". I smell trouble...

Firefoot, Wilheard will be arriving to Scarburg about the time we're picking up the timeline again, so he can't be friends with Leof yet when we start. However, given that Wilheard is an introvert who loves animals, I'm sure he's going to be around the stables a lot, so he'll have to interact with Leof, and I'm looking forward to writing that. I can't promise they will become friends because my characters tend to do what they will once I start typing but I don't see it as unlikely and personally I'd love it if Wilheard actually made friends instead of enemies...

NAME: Wilheard

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: 21, male, Eorling, originally from Edoras

APPEARANCE: Wilheard is a tall young warrior, but a little on the skinny side. There's a hint of gray in his blue eyes and his hair is pale blond. The most notable feature in Wilheard's face is an ugly, ridged scar that runs from his cheekbone to his chin and gives his face something of a permanent sneer.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER: Wilheard is not a kind man, and his quick wit is accompanied by a sharp tongue. Being quiet and self-centered, he usually prefers his own company to that of others, and may seem cold or eccentric to strangers. However, he's not as cool and calculating as you might expect, but rather impulsive and even foolhardy. He is a proficient soldier and has a knack for handling animals.

Wilheard is the younger son of the Lord Athanar, and always expected a military career as the right hand man of his older brother Wulfric. Since their childhood, the two were always stirring up mischief and trouble wherever they went, and they were also very close. On their first proper campaign to Rhûn Wulfric was slain by the Easterlings and Wilheard's life was turned upside down. He is now mourning the loss of his brother and trying to come to terms with his new position as Lord Athanar's heir.

Original bio for Wilheard and his brother Wulfric: [x]

Sounds good, Noggie Looking forward to it.

Meanwhile, a PM post between Scyld and Rowenna is growing into a novel of its own, as is its wont. What a pair of self-preservationist romantics.

Hahaha, truth.

Lommy, I'm more interested in interaction than it's outcome, so I'm fine with Leof and Wilheard becoming friends or enemies, or something in between... based on your bio, my initial thought is that Leof would respect Wilheard's ability with animals but be quite off-put by his personality. We'll see.

Also, to lmp and Nogrod as you work on the opening post for the thread - I just wanted to let you know that I wrote into Leof's first post for the new thread that he's been working on getting a small horse breeding program up and going at the Hall. I have no idea if that factors into what you're writing or not, but I wanted to throw it out there since it's a bit of a big picture thing as well as a Leof-specific thing.

^ Pio, I wrote a new bio for Wilheard, seeing as his previous one was shared with his now deceased brother. Could you replace the link on the new discussion thread to refer to the post above? (DONE ~*~ Pio)

Also you can remove the tentative comments about Wilheard and Modtryth from the character list. Sorry for causing you extra work! (DONE ~*~ Pio)

PS. Updating Modtryth and Cnebba soon.

PPS. Oops, cross-posted with Elempi.

[Thinlómien]

I updated Modtryth and Cnebba's bios (obviously consulting Nogrod on the latter), if anyone wants to have a look, they're here. Basically, nothing new with Modtryth, but Cnebba is 12 so we'll be up to some teenager shenanigans, and also his apprenticeship (a little postponed because of the hard years) will be a pressing matter when things in Scarburg start getting back to normal.

Yes, it will be interesting! To be honest, Wilheard is not a people person, so his initial reaction to Leof is likely to be indifference. We'll see where it goes from there...
