The Fading Song

http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/kortneegirl/Thefadingbanner1copy-2.gif

The Story:

It’s been 200 years since the parting of the Fellowship. At the passing of King Aragorn and Queen Arwen, there was an argument on which of his twin sons would take the throne. The youngest, Boromir, wished to keep the old ways laid down by his father, whom their ally Rohan agreed with, and his oldest, Elrenden, wanted to pursue the sciences. A civil war erupted and Gondor was split in two. The younger kept Minas Tirith and Osgiliath while the oldest kept the rest.

The few remaining elves came to the young kings (by young, I mean under 40) and warned them that splitting up Gondor would have dire consequences. When the two countries, Gondor (a country of tradition and honor) and New Gondor (a country of technology and science) erupted once again into a feud as both brothers tried to show the other that their way was better, Boromir was led to believe the elves caused the war, and Elrenden was so caught up in his science that he started to doubt any ‘irrational’ creature ever existed and decided elves with their unscientific ‘magic’ should be exterminated.

The remaining elves have gone into hiding and Rohan works (without actually fighting) to keep the larger and more developed countries from tearing down the enchanted forest of Fangorn, so it’s wrath was not brought once again on the world. Yet, in order to not bring the anger of both countries on them, they’ve banned elves from their borders and hobbits are in isolation.

A mysterious woman that no one knows by name has called a group of people together, much like was done in the days of Frodo the ring bearer. You are one of said people and you make your way towards Fangorn, in search of the woman.


Plot:
One day, your character is approached by a long haired person wearing a cloak. They hand you a note:

The world is in turmoil. You have been called to a secret meeting to help correct this. If you believe you have the courage and heart to face the odds and unite the world once more, come to the forests of Fangorn.

Personality: She’s incredibly stubborn and won’t change her mind unless it’s clear that she was wrong, and she’ll only due so grudgingly. Eoriya is very outspoken and will always speak her mind without thinking, even if it’ll get her or those around her into trouble. She feels plenty of fear, but she knows how to ignore it. She’s a bit reckless and answers to few.

History (optional): Eoriya is a descendant of Queen Eowyn. She never knew her
father, and as her mother’s only child, decided that it was her job to protect her family. With the help of her cousin, the youngest son of Rohan’s king, she learned how to use a sword and bow. Being of Rohirrin blood, she was an excellent rider and became a Sheild Maiden. One day, she found a chestnut horse that had been bitten by a wild animal on his left foreleg. She took care of him and helped with his healing process. While she was doing this, she realized he was one of the Mearas. Knowing they would only allow the Lord of the Mark or his sons to carry him, she informed her cousin. He tried to ride the horse, but it wouldn’t tolerate the her cousin handling him. Eoriya was forced to calm down the horse, and it was given to her by her cousin.

When Rohan banned elves, Eoriya spoke out against it, herself being fascinated with them, and was told to leave the country she loved so much. Instead of leaving, she went out and started getting news from all other countries and secretly bringing it to her cousin.

Khyleth’s character:

Name: Quickfinger Jask
Age: Late teens or early twenties
Gender: Male
Race: Human (New Gondor)
Allegiance: Himself

Appearance: Lithe and delicately attractive, with long dark hair and bright blue eyes, Jask has always been popular with girls. He has nurtured a shy smile and a roguish wink, and his clothing is well-cut and of good cloth. His bearing is that of a showman: always conscious of others’ eyes and seeking attention in everything he does.

Jask wears baggy pantaloons tucked into knee-high boots and a ruffled shirt under a fashionable jacket. His cloak is a startlingly bright blue, but the rest of his clothing is a nondescript gray.

Personality: Jask is the stereotypical performance-type: deeply insecure and desperate for approval, given to strong emotions and grandiose gestures, convinced of the tragic beauty of his life story and that he is “trouble” for any good-hearted young woman.

History (optional): Until recently, Jask was a performer in one of the most renowned traveling shows in New Gondor. He was sold to the circus’ director at a young age to pay off his parents’ debt, and was raised to put on a show. His act involved shooting bottles out of the air with his brace of wheellock pistols – blindfolded. Before he was old enough to perform, his task was to pickpocket circusgoers or burgle the houses of wealthy patrons while they were enjoying the show.

Only recently have Jask’s fortunes faded: with the growing hostility toward elvenkind in New Gondor, his porcelain good looks were no longer an asset to the show. In fact, he was booed offstage at his last four performances – despite his repeated protests that he was not at all elven.

Jask’s adoptive father, seeing that the boy was now a liability, did the fatherly thing: he took back the pistols and sent him packing. For the last few months, Jask has wandered north through Rohan, stealing anything not nailed down and avoiding trouble by sleeping in haystacks and barn lofts.

Imagine his surprise when he was accosted on the road to Edoras by some old broad with a hood who handed him a cryptic note and promptly disappeared. After paying a passerby a copper to read the note to him (literacy is not an essential trait in a circus performer), he shrugged and headed north toward Fangorn.

“May as well,” he grumbled. “Pig farmers don’t tip, an’ the soup ‘ere smells of horse.”

Weapon/Abilities: Jask carries a nicked but serviceable knife, and knows how to use it. He is proficient with firearms, if he ever finds any, and is an accomplished pickpocket and cat burglar. He loves to tinker around with any sort of machine, but has an unfortunate tendency to make them do something entirely different from their original design - that, or he breaks them. He has an uncanny knack for picking up married women, loose bits of jewelry, and social diseases. He cheats at cards.

StormWolf's character:

Name: Branulf Brekkerson of Rohan

Age: 28

Gender: MALE!

Race: Human - Rohan


Allegiance: Rohan and the Golden Hall

Appearance:
Branulf Brekkerson (http://gabrielrodriguez.deviantart.com/art/Beowulf-01-Cover-96932493) is what one would expect from a son of Rohan. He is tall and strong, his hair unruly with a goatte on his chin. Branulf stands around six feet, four inches with a solid muscular build from wielding the hefty spears, swords, shields, and axes that Riders of the Rohirrim are known for.

His armor is the standard for the Rohirrim; scale mail, chainmail, plate armor, boots and a helmet. The one thing he wears that stands out is a Warg pelt that he wears as a cloak upon his shoulders. The cloak means much to him, for it resembles the action that made him a man.

Personality: For his age, Branulf is very contorlled. He is not vulgar or unpleasant unless he over-indulges in his mead; though that is not saying much. Being part of the Rohirrim, he is well learned in the way of using spears, swords, and axes. He is still an apprentice Rider, but he is well on his way to becoming leader of the Rohirrim itself. His dedication and loyalty is all but over-zealous, but that is expected from his bloodline. If one were to compare Branulf to when he is on an off the field of battle, he is a completely different person. On the battlefield, he is borderline homocidal and phycotic. Some say that it is the fire in his bloodline, or that his horse is some demon, for it has a tendancy to have as much a personality as most people do.

History (optional): Branulf's bloodline can be traced back to Theodin himself, noble blood with much influence in the Golden Hall. In fact, he is next in line after his brother. He is a famed general and an outstanding soldier.

Weapon/Abilities:
Hrounting - The Bloodline sword
http://www.cbswords.com/images/0500670.jpg
Rohirrim Spear
Rohirrim Axe
Rohan broad rider's shield

His commanding presence makes him someone to respect out of fear, if the scars don't scare the common lawbreaker, the warg cloak most likely will. Popular with women, though he fancies the elven women the most.

Other:

Distinguishing Features: He has a number of scars on his body, mostly from the Warg he now wears upon his back when it was still alive. On his face, he has a scar over his lip, causing a pale line of hairless flesh to appear on his face as well as give him a prickly demeanor. He also has a scar on his nose, cheek, and one that breaks his right eyebrow in two.


Mrcelophane’s character:

Name: Faelnir

Age: ...old...(can't remember...but like most elves, looks and acts young)

Gender:Male

Race: Elf

Allegiance: No one...Elves are on their own side in this fight

Appearance: Tall, youthful. Long blond hair and typical elf ears. He does usually wear a sort of headband during the day, not wanting to mess too much with the natural growth of his hair, but he does still need to see.

Personality: Hes upset about all the confusion and misunderstandings towards the already dwindling elves. He will want whatever mission he is given to bring peace to the world over and done with quickly to ensure the safety of his fellow elves.

History (optional): I might add some later...

Weapon/Abilities: Bow, Light Elvish Short Sword, Lothlorian Cloak

Sugarholic’s character:

Name: Aaryl 'Fuin' Uailwen

Age: 20

Gender: Female
Race: Human, but raised by the last of the elves in Lothlorien.

Allegiance: Peace- she takes the elves stance of neutrality towards factions but longs to see peace return to Middle Earth

Appearance: She has cropped ginger hair, which she keeps short with a knife that she carries in her pack. Her tramping boots are well worn in, but kept supplr through the use of rubbing fats into the leather. Her attire shown is what she would wear when amongst the people she grew up with or when she needs to be somewhat feminine, but she usually swaps the skirt for breeches in the wild. She is also usually seen with a black hooded cloak and rides a beautiful chestnut mare.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c378/sugarholic/Anime/anime1.jpg

Personality: She usually keeps to herself, unless its a topic she feels passionate about, when she becomes rather opinionated. She is often shy around strangers, and somewhat distrustful, which is a bonus when one is a ranger and wants to blend in.

History (optional): Born in Dimrell Dale, Aaryl was even fascinated with the elves that dwelled in Lorien Forest, where she would often wander. She had learned an adequate amount of elvish by the age of 10, and decided that she was fond of their culture. Truly she wanted to be one, and the current Lady of the Forest (Uriwen- She took over the place of Galadrial and rules over Lothlorien) accpeted her into the ranks of the rangers. She had learnt a smattering of woodcraft from the elves as she was younger, and by the age of 15 was able to go out into the world to act as a conduit for the elves to the outside world.

Weapon/Abilities: She can weild her shortsword, and can ride like the wond. She is also very good at not being noticed if she doesn't wish to be.

Urth’s character:

Name: Ian Masters

Age: 20 (seemingly)

Gender: Male

Race: Elf

Allegiance: With the Elves

Appearance: Ian stands at about six feet, two inches. He has long red hair, a trait uncommon to his kind, and green eyes. He usually wears a type of light armor made from mithril.

The armor style
http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs10/i/2006/132/a/4/Archer_by_HAOSvip.jpg

Personality: Ian acts more like a human than an elf in many ways. He's very expressive of how he feels, and allows his emotions to drive him. He can be your best friend, until you wrong him, because if he has one major fault... he's a vindictive person.

History (optional): Ian was found by Gondorian travelers as a baby. They weren't quite sure why, but upon waking up in the morning they found a small elven baby in their campsite. These two took him in as their own, raising him as their son. Thus the origin of his name and attitude. From birth he displayed an uncanny ability to use a type of magic known as projection, the ability to create objects with magic. This combined with the martial education he received from his father has developed him into a powerful combatant. When the fighting broke out, Ian had no choice but to run to the elves.

Weapon/Abilities: Ian fights using a type of magic known as projection. With this magic he is able to create any weapon he has seen before. Another ability gained through this power, is the ability to use the skills of the weapon's original wielder via adopted muscle memory from the weapon. As an example, while holding a dwarven battleaxe, he would fight much like it's original owner.
Though Ian has access to any weapon possible, he does have a few favorites.

Chaos needle
http://fc04.deviantart.com/images3/i/2004/131/b/e/Vapiric_Rapier.jpg
a very light and quick rapier. Several of the original wielder's strikes seem to come at the same time.

Shark's fin
http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/281/4/2/Scimitar_by_Dr0ps.jpg
A well balanced scimitar, it's previous wielder supposedly was able to use it to gather moisture in the air and use it to make bladelike projectiles

Gaia's tooth

A spear who's previous wielder used it to break stone as if it were parchment
