Welcome to Gaia! ::

Race: Noldorin Elf

Age: 25 yéni

Weapons: Aeglos, the Spear of Gil-galad, "Snowthorn" in the Common Tongue, and Gurthang, a silver sword named after the blade of Túrin Turambar.

Appearance: Tall and strong, like most Noldorin Elves. He wears armor crafted from silver and mithril, which gives him his name Gil-galad, or "Star of Radiance," as he can be seen miles away when it is worn. Under his armor, he wears blue Elvish robes, embroidered with gold braid. The crest of his house, a device of white stars upon a blue rondure, is worn across these robes.

Brief History: After the breaking of the Siege of Angband, High King Fingon sent his only son Ereinion to dwell at the Falas. Fingon died in the Nirnaeth, but because Ereinion was still but a youth, his uncle Turgon in the Hidden Kingdom took up the crown. The Dark Lord's Orcs raided the Falas after that dreadful battle, so Círdan and Ereinion fled to the Isle of Balar, where they would remain until the sinking of Beleriand. When Gondolin fell, Ereinion Gil-galad took up the title of his father as High King of the Noldor. He would have aided the Exiles of Gondolin and Doriath during the Kinslaying, but came too late to the Mouths of Sirion and could only take in the survivors as his own people. After the War of Wrath, Gil-galad founded Lindon, and ruled those few who remained of the Noldorin exiles. He rejected Annatar, but when Celebrimbor sent up two Elven Rings of Power he accepted them, for Sauron had no doing in their making. To Elrond, his herald, he gave Vilya, the Ring of Sapphire. When the Faithful washed ashore in their ships falling the Downfall, Gil-galad formed a steadfast alliance with their lord, Elendil. Neither of the kings suspected that it would be Elvenkind and Mankind’s last great alliance.

Location: Lindon




Race :: Nazgûl

Age :: 1556 years

Weapon(s) :: Angamarth, a Mordor-blade, and Urthaur, a mace

Appearance :: In all likeliness, he was once a fair Man, tall and handsome even to the Elves, as most great lords of Númenór were in that time. But today, he is a wraith, a formless being, who can only be seen when he drapes himself with his long, black Mordor-cloaks. Only the Dark Lord himself can see his body, a twisted and corrupteded shape, consumed by the Shadow.

Brief History :: Akhorahil was born into the House of Andúnië upon the Isle of Númenór, even before the Shadow fell upon the realm of the Edain. Early on, he would have bore a Quenya name, as was the tradition in that time, but that is long forgotten. Early in his life, he traveled the world, eager to learn the various arts of the Elves of Endor. But soon, he began to envy the life of the Eldar, and so when the sorcerer Annatar offered him a mysterious Ring, claiming it would prolong his life, he accepted willingly.

There was, of course, a price. Akhorahil, who had by this time become a trusted advisor to Tar-Atanamir, was ordered to subtly instruct the King to begin persecution of the Elendili. This Akhorahil did freely, thinking to eventually set right the wrongs he had committed. But soon he became obsessed over his ring, and his heart's desires became true to his words. For over one hundred years he would advise Tar-Atanamir to regard the Elendili in suspicion. Though the shadow had fallen on Elenna even before Akhorahil's birth, it was in this manner that the rebellion and divison of Númenór became an even greater threat.

A yén or more passed, and the ring finally consumed Akhorahil entirely. He began to understand why death was not a Doom, but a Gift. Too late. He was drawn into the Shadow, and had become a wraith, subservient to the will of Sauron. The Dark Lord took back the ring he had given, and yet still Akhorahil was bound to it, never to die until its ending. So even though he may hate his Lord, he serves him unwillingly, for he desires the day where his Ring may be returned to him.

Location :: Mordor




Race :: Dwarf

Age :: 144

Weapon(s) :: A Dwarvish axe of mithril and silver

Appearance :: Nar is a rather typical dwarf, measuring at about five feet tall. His face is buried beneath his rough, black hair; and that can be seen is a large, round nose, and his grey eyes. He is clad in silver, gold, and mithril armor, which he himself wrought, in the harsh style of the Dwarves.

Brief History :: His father was Anar, who was the son of Lofar and the cousin to the Dwarf-king Durin IV. As a Dwarf of noble blood, he led an aristocratic childhood, although an uneventful one. Of course, this all changed when the dreaded cold-drake Ancalas decided to use Anar's bones to make a pretty necklace. Suddenly, Nar found himself with a rather large inheritance.

This is why Nar is among the richer Dwarves of Khazad-dûm, despite his young age. He is well learned in the arts of blacksmithing, and he employs many servants in his unending search for mithril, most beloved of metals, found only in the halls of his people, Durin's Folk.

Location :: Khazad-dûm

Race: Elf
Age: 3683
Weapon(s): Bow and arrows, a knife or two and the occasional sword (I have some kicking around but I don't usually use them you see)

Location: Imladris

Name: Hetzon
Character's Name: Sauron
Race: Maiar
Age: Uh...the Maiar were created by the Creator with the Valar to help them in their song. So...Sauron is as old as time...?
Weapons: He's a lesser god, essentially. In battle, he uses a big sword, and the Ring, along with the nine Rings for men and the five for the dwarves.
Appearance: This is set after the fall of Numenor, therefore, Sauron is stuck within the human form he assumed to corrupt the men of that race.
Brief History: Sauron served with the Great Dark Lord in the first age. He was created as a lesser god, one of the Maiar, to serve the Creator and instead he began to question, just as Morgoth had.

After the fall of Morgoth, Sauron bided his time, holing up in his stronghold in the north, that which would one day become Mordor. His corruption of the Kings of Numenor led to the Valar forcing him to remain in the vile human form he had assumed following that race's ultimate downfall.

He has been in Mordor, building his armies ever since.

Location: Mordor

- Why You Wish to Join: Want to give this rpg another try .

- Have you read the Rules? Yeah

Naurnost replaces Alexander Valoros ok? Maybe i'll play one of the sons later...

- Name: Onoj
- Character's Name: Elrond
- Race: Elves
- Age: 3,453 years old
- Weapon(s): Long sword: Hadhafang
- Appearance: Tall and strong. Brown flowing hair. When in battle with The Last Alliance dressed in the armour of his native race (obviously) and when in times of peace long robes of brown and white. Upon his head rests a crown of stars.
- Brief History: Elrond was born in the Havens of Sirion late in the first age. Both of his parents were Half-Elven and so Elrond and his brother, Elros, were given the choice of becoming immortal elves or mortal men. Elrond chose the life of elves while his brother chose the later. He dwelled in Lindon with Gil-Galad until going to defend Eregion. When it was overrun he went and founded Rivendell where he dwelt until leaving Middle Earth. He had a wife, Celebrain, and three children Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen. Elrond also possesed Vilya, greatest of the three rings which he recieved from Gil-Galad.
- Location: House of Rivendell, Last Homely House

Name: Hetzon
Character's Name: Galadriel
Race: Noldor
Age: Very Old
Weapons: None Known
Appearance: Galadriel is fair of skin, as all Elves are, and her hair is golden. It is said that the light of the Trees became ensnared in her golden hair, and inspired Fëanor to make the silmarilli. (compliments to Falathrim for that particular quote.)
Brief History: Your best bet for this one would be to look at Falathrim's Annals of Arda post, but here's a more concise version.

Galadriel is daughter of Finarfin, son of Finwë and Indis. The name given to her by her father was Artanis; Galadriel was given her by Celeborn. She is said to be the greatest of all the Noldor, save Fëanor. She ignored the Prophecy of Mandos and returned to Middle Earth, and then later refused the Pardon of the Valar in her pride. She took no part in the Kinslaying, and even fought alongside the Teleri at Alqulonde, which is where she met Celeborn. She ended up at Belfalas after finding Celeborn again at Imladris...

Like I said, it'll just be easier for people to read Falathrim's summary. Chris Tolkien said himself that Galadriel's is possibly the most confusing of the character histories in Middle Earth.

Location: Belfalas
Why I wish to join: I already have one character, known to all of you as the infamous Sauron. I wish to prove to everyone that I myself am not inherently evil, and I want to be more involved with the RP on a day to day basis. Sauron isn't a terribly active character right now.

Yes to both the next questions, and I am going to assume that I am exempt from the RP example, because I already have a character and you have all seen worthwhile demonstrations of my RP ability.

- Name: GenevieveCobalt
- Character's Name: Genevieve
- Race: Noldor Elf
- Age: 3692
- Weapon(s): Dwarven made silver-steel highbred lightsword, made in the style of the Noldor elves
- Appearance: tall and slender with wavy blond hair and cobalt blue eyes
- Breif History: Genevieve is the child of Angrod, son of Finarfin of the Noldor, and Ezrie Tarawealth. Her father died at Dagor Bragollach while Genevieve was still growing in her mother’s womb and before he could seal the contract of marriage. To maintain his heroism, Ezrie did not make public their affair and ran away to a secluded area where she could raise her child. The two accompanied the exile of the Noldor but returned to Valinor with their king to seek pardon. Genevieve was raised in the lands of the gods but left those shores when she was grown and entered Middle Earth. With no real purpose, she wandered those lands, in the north mostly where it was safe behind the Blue Mountains and eventually stumbled upon the house of a dieing human. She comforted him, nursed him and cared for him while no one else would and lived with him for almost a year until he died. She inherited the house and property and lived there by herself and was happy for some time. After a decade or so, she grew weary of her solitude and left her home, taking with her only a few scraps on food and a map. She wandered again for some time, but when the lands became to dangerous to do so, she sought refuge in Ered Luin with the dwarves in those mountains. She was met by a dear friend of the man she had lived with until his death and told the dwarf of his last days. He took her under his wing and welcomed her into his family. She was like a daughter to him (the both didn’t seem to be bothered by the confines of race) and he forged her a sword “finer then any ever conceived in history” so he said. It took him close to fifty years to make and was a gift to her on his deathbed. She stayed by his side until he died, then left the Blue Mountains for the Grey Havens. There she built for herself a new life and was finally living with her people after a very long time. There she made many friends and then left the city to move to Elrond’s Imladris. Back and forth she now travels between her two homes every so often travelling by her lonesome to meet up with her friends in a different part of the world.
