I have an idea for an RPG where we all play rangers, defending Eriador from Evil in the third age.

You can be either good or evil, with the exception that you cannot be a Nazgul, Aragorn, or any character in The Lord of the Rings, with the exception of 2 people, who will be Elrond and Bombadil. I will decide who gets to be Elrond, and who is Bombadil. I will be a Ranger

If you want to be good, you may be a Ranger.

If you want to be Evil, you may be an Orc, a Troll, a Warg. I will also allow a few people to be "Evil Men" Commanding orcs and trolls and whatnot.

My Character:

Ardae
Human Ranger

Description: Was born in Rivendell, his mom died in childbirth. He was left in the care of Tom Bombadil and Golbery when his father Argil went around Eriador protecting Bree-land and the Shire from evil. His father was killed by Trolls when he was 10, so Ardae wanders the lands, in search of evil to vanquish. He is a frequent vistor in the houses of both Bombadil and Elrond.

when we have a few good and a few evil players, we will begin.

Sorry, but no.

This RPG will have nothing to do with the War of the Ring, or the Ring, or Sauron.

Can women be rangers? I think I already know the answer but that'd be cool... or like Eowyn and be a crossdresser LOL

Yes, in my RPG there may be girl rangers. You can be evil, read the first post.

Faramir

I think I'll be a ranger.

Name: Aralath
Gender: Male
Species: Man
Weapons: Long Sword and Oval Shield.
Bio: He was born to a high ranking family in Minas Tirith, but later left to wander the wild, becoming a ranger.
Appearance: Tall, with black hair. He wears a large black cloak with green pants, boots, and black gauntlets.
Personality: Very kind, always willing to help. Great leadership skills, good at navigating and tracking.

Hmm... lets be evil for a change :cool:

Name: Rugonar
Gender: Female
Race: Warg
Weapons: Claws and teeth will do
Bio: The queen of wargs. The only daughter of Carcharoth (sp?).
Appearance: Dirty grey fur with small streaks of gold, garnet eyes, a muscular build, and sharpened claws and teeth. Always seems to have a dark red streak near her mouth.
Personality: She has a fierce temper, but she can keep it under control. As overlordess of wargs, she's the fastest, strongest, smartest, and most brave. A strange personality quirk is that she is not afraid of fire. As a mother of many, she saves her young whenever she can; an unusual sign of chivalry that shows in many situations.

I would really like to diversify my usual role in RP's and be evil, but, I want to be a human (woman to be exact). I would like to qualify for being one of the "select few who gets to be an evil man" cept can I be an evil woman? If not, then I would like to be a female ranger. I haven't rp'd in a while and not on here so I will follow Faramir's format.

Name: Adiamont
Gender: Female
Species: Man (heh woman?)
Weapons: Falchion, shield
Bio: (depends on whether or not I can be evil)
Appearance: Tall, avg. weight, usually wears a dark grey cloak, mithril gloves and boots, long black hair, blue eyes
Personality: (depends on whether she is evil or not) Keen, quiet, observant

Yes, you may be an evil woman, you can be like the "head-evil type person" in Eriador. We'll start pretty soon. I will wait one more day for someone to come that wants to be Bombadil or Elrond, but after that, we'll start without them.

I don't want to be the leader evil person... I'm not good at that... can I be the evil sidekick of the evil person?

Xeta
08-18-2002, 08:59 PM
Yeah sure, be the sidekick. We'll need to find a head evil person, though. But if by noon tomorrow no one had signed up, we'll start without one, and he won't be doing anything until someone wants to play him.

By the way, since no one wants to be Bombadil or Elrond, want me to play them in addition to my guy?

Where are these Rangers fighting? Can there be angry Corsairs of Harad (or even better Corsair babes of Harad?)

Menelvagor
08-19-2002, 12:55 AM
Hm, I'll join. I'm not feeling very creative tonight, so I'm going to reuse Maew (ranger) (I like him, anyway :p )

Lesse,

Name: Maew
Gender: male
Race: Man
weapons: the good old, ever-so-useful Generic Sword
bio: A typical ranger in most respects, skilled in the ways of the wild, observant, quick witted, but also quiet, slightly fatalistic, and a loner by nature, he also is partially a berserker (though this does more harm than good) and occasionally looses control during pitched battle. He comes from a high family, and has moments of forsight from time to time, but they never do him any good. He's a good friend and a good warrior, but can be dangerous to have around at times.
personality: hm, I kinda covered that in the bio, didn't I? whatever...

Is it still ok that I can be the head Wargess?

Xeta
08-20-2002, 02:25 PM
Yes, you can be the Head Wargress.

Xeta
08-20-2002, 02:28 PM
No corsairs, sorry.

Claeonic, you wanna be the head bad guy? And sminty smeagol could be your second in command. You can still be a Warg if you wanna be the Head bad guy.

No matter what everybody wants to be, I'll start the RPG tomorrow.

Claenoic
08-20-2002, 08:03 PM
Yay!!! *Starts dancing* I'm going to be the head bad guy, I'm going to be the head bad guy, I'm going to be the head bad guy, I'm going- wait, wouldn't it be the head bad gal? Ok :D I'm going to be the head bad gal, I'm going to be the head bad gal, I'm going to be the head bad gal, I'm going to be the head bad gal...

Okay, I declare this RPG officially open!! Here's a recap of the players. BTW, i may not be connected to the internet from this Saturday to next friday, so if i'm gone, just go ahead and RP without me.

Sminty Smeagol, i'm not sure what you want to be. Do you want to use the Character you posted? Or did you want to be evil? You can be an evil woman. I think you want to be Evil, so i'll pit you as evil in the recap. Let me know if i missed someone.

People on the good Side

Ardae - Male Ranger - Played By Xeta
Aralath - Male Ranger - Played by Faramir
Maew - Male Ranger - Played By Menelvagor
Sicirus - Female Warg - Played by Sicirus


People on the Evil Side

Rugonar - Female Warg - Played by Claenoic - Head Evil Guy
Adiamont - Evil Female - Played by Sminty_Smeagol

To start the RPG, we'll have the head good guy and the head bad guy set the story for the RPG. Please be consistent. That reminds me, we need to decide who is the Leader of the Good Guys. I would rather be second in command, so Faramir or Menelvagor, you wanna be head Good Guy?

Menelvagor
08-23-2002, 12:07 PM
Not me. Maew's not really the type. Faramir?

Xeta
09-04-2002, 07:34 PM
You can join K o G, srry guys, my internet was screwed up for a while, Sicirus, you can start, just don't directly mention the head bad guy yet, just kind of mention him as "your master" or something, unless you wanna be head bad guy. Anyway, you can start, i'll be the head good guy and jump in tonight or tomarrow after school.

k here goes.:p

I perked up my ears as I heard my elf master talking of the war tension between sauron and the Numenors (rangers). I heard Sauron wanted to take over a land called Eriador. I sat up and walked over to get a better view of the ranger who gave us the news of the Westerners. He flinched at the sight of me, for I was a wolf, a creature that was considered evil during that time, but I just stared at him and listened closely to the news.
"We are in great need of help" he said shaking from the pure thoughts of the war that was threatening to come upon them.
Harpcu my master replied " I will come with you my friend and my friend here will come with us." We travelled to the West and as we travelled through the forests we were met by wolves who just challenged with snaps and growls. We ignored them. We arrived at the city of the humans, and we found a place to stay. As we went off to the council of Ardae, guards were ever watching me and the gates. I knew this was a great deal to the numenors. We sat down and waited for Ardea to arrive.

Ardea finally came back with a new numenor with him. He introduced the renger as Aralron and my master and Aralorn exchanged greetings. My master then introduced me to Aralorn who seemed to be taken aback by the sight of a wolf. I put my paw out as a greetings. Then Herpcu explained to the young ranger that I was not evil but good.

(First I want to say that a Ranger RPG would be great. However someone HAS TO TAKE the LEAD! To get the plot started someone has to introduces a storyline that the RPGers can follow. Having done RPGs before I know that a story can fall apart faster then a Balrog can fall off a bridge!:) I have the following idea: Sometime in the 3rd age, (I don't remember the exact date, I dont have my book in front of me, but it is sometime after Elronds wife goes west.) the orcs renew their invasions of Eraidor. Us rangers could chase after them, fight battles, and maybe recover an unknown stolen treasure. Its really up to everyone else. Unless somebody objects then I will post sometime tomorrow another beginning to the story so everyone can see it. If you like then we can use, if you dont we won't!
In any case here are my stats for my character:
Name: Arathyn
Gender: MALE
Race: Human
Weapons: Sword Whitefire, two throwing knives concealed in my armguards.
Skills: Tracking, stealth, fighting
