Okie dokie, beautiful people. I don't know why, but I'm dying to start more LOTR rps. I have too many LOTR characters that are inactive (since my Council of Elrond rps went to crap) and they're starting to feel neglected. So I thought I'd ask you Tolkien fans for some help getting a few rpgs together. I want to use any characters from the following list: Rordan Angolaer (late Third Age to Early Fourth Age) Aria Angolaer (late Third Age to Early Fourth Age) Daerandir (Fourth Age) Kaelwen (Late Third Age; has to be in Rohan) Lanthiriell (Third or Fourth Age; has to be in Rohan or Lorien) Erthadan (Late Second Age to Late Third Age; has to be in Rivendell) So far, the only rp ideas I have are for Erthadan. I want an rp for him to take place during a time of war or unrest for the elves such as the Last Alliance, reappearance of the Nazgul (1300's Third Age), the fall of Minas Ithil, the meeting of the White Council to discuss Dol Guldur, Battle of Five Armies, or when Sauron openly reveals himself (2951 Third Age). Ideas, suggestions, and comments please. Oh and make sure they stick to Tolkien's stuff. No new species or powers or anything.

Meh heh..... -evil grin- I LOVE all things to do with Minas Ithil/Morgul........ But thas just me. The whole Last Alliance idea might be fun too. Probably because I can't remember a dern thing about the rest of 'em. And I know you love your Elves, but I, of course, would have a human character. (Unless you threatened me with death.) If it's okay, that is........ Oh, and I just normally make 'em for whatever the situation calls for. But then there's still the issue of the plot.....

You elf-hater. Yeah ok. Play a human for that rpg if you want. But remember that it is in Rivendell so you gotta come up with a way to get your character there. I'd like to make the rp mostly behind the scenes stuff instead of actual major events (although I don't mind them if the rp continues long enough to run into one). Like the arrival of Gil-Galad and Elendil in Rivendell and then the preparation for the Last Alliance instead of the battle itself. And I don't want to completely plot out the rp either. Just kinda get a basic idea of what's going on. So whichever plot idea you all like best is the one we'll go with. Oh and just check out the Third Age Timeline at CoE if you wanna know more about those choices or whatever.

Ackh! >_< Didn't know it was gonna take place in Rivendell. -sigh- Fine, my character'll be an Elf. Uhm... you're the boss, boss. Whatever you want is good. -nod, nod- -finds the timeline and looks at it- Really, you decide.... heh heh... -is no good at making decisions- <------ Remember?

I hate decision making too! Why do you think I made this thread? lol. But I will if I absolutely have to. Hah! Ven's going to play an elf! Woohoo! *dances around but doesn't use the dance dude because he distracts Ven* lol.

Woohoo! Okie dokie then. Only requirements for characters are the ability to rp in the Late Second Age or Third Age and means to be in Rivendell. Oh and 100% Tolkien qualities. Welcome on board, mate! ;D

Awww... -misses the little dancing dude- He was my friend! -cough, cough- ANYway..... Yeah, reading this stuff on CoE helps. It really depends where you want to start, though. If we started in Annuminas, where the Alliance was first formed, then not only would I have plenty of reason to play a human character we would have more to write about as well. I'm assuming you read the whole thing with Amon Sul and THEN marching to Rivendell, but who knows, maybe i've just gone crazy... if i was ever sane, that is. ;D

Ok. First of all, let me say that out of the choices I listed earlier, I'm beginning to like the Last Alliance, the fall of Minas Ithil, and the White Council discussing Dol Guldur the best. Second, my character's not much of a wanderer. He wouldn't leave his home (Rivendell for this rp) unless he felt he absolutely must (like for a major battle or to visit someone he's close to... even though he's not close to anyone. lol.) so I don't think he'd be anywhere near Gil-Galad and Elendil before they arrived in Rivendell. Third, if you're that desperate to play a human, Ven, I can think of a few ways for all of the suggestions I listed. Fourth, you were never sane, dear. But I love you anyway. lol.

I've been jumping to conclusions and assuming things. Forgive me. I think I'm finally on the same page as you. So..... let's just take it from here, I guess. I already voiced my opinion, it's really up to you to choose what the RP is about. i mean, you're the person starting it. I'm not THAT desperate, I just prefer them. Humans seem like they have so much more capacity for change (in their personalities) than Elves, and that's what I enjoy about them most. Elves seem kind of distant, like they've already learned all the lessons life can teach them. But yeah, this isn't what we're talking about. And I suppose I never will be sane.

Nothing to forgive. I started this to ask for opinions and suggestions so it's all good. ;D Yeah well I guess elves do kinda seem that way. I can't help but be attracted to the wisdom, grace, and nobility though. Even if I have a few elven characters that go completely against the norm. Like Durmeleth who's a thief and murderer... And then there's Naurwen. lol. Who wants to be sane? Insanity is fun. Plus it's cool to know all of those guys with the big white truck and pretty jackets... by name. lol.

Okay, I feel much better then. Murderer? ? That's odd... but fun!And yes, we ALL know Naurwen is NOT Normal. -shakes head- Nuh-uh, they're not fun. Remember, Kait, they made me eat granola..... And we had better get this thing back on track.

Yes... Durmeleth was very fun... Before her rps went to crap. But anywhooo...
Quite right. Back on track. Which rp idea do you like the best, DarkHelmet?
And yeah, it'll definitely be in Rivendell, whichever plot or time we choose.

I really don't care which rp. I might just need a little filling in since I didn't read the books yet. Well, at least not all of them. I have read the Hobbit and FotR.
Anybody know any good names for a male elf? Can't think of any at the moment.
