The Game Title : To Rescue a Servant

The Timeline : 2747 T.R.

The Location : The story will begin in Rohan and end in Rohan, though the company will be in Gondor for awhile.

The Objective : To rescue the girl who has been kidnapped and bring her safely home.

The Characters :

Rohan Company- who will set out to rescue the girl. About 7 should do, preferably no woman.

Rohan Family- We will need the mother of the girl, as well as the girl herself.

Bandits- of Gondor, about 3.

These guidelines are not final and binding, but game starters are expected to abide by them. If anyone happens to have even more interesting methods and procedure, he/she is welcome to use them. The Mods are always happy to help.

The Plot of the Game
A young girl of Rohan has been kidnapped by some bandits and is to be sold as a servant in Gondor. The girl's father has recruited a group of Rohirrim to go find the bandits and bring the girl back.

Duration
Depending on how active everyone in the game is, it should last from 1 month - 2 months, possibly more, but hopefully not.

I (the game owner) will be playing one character:

The Father
Name: Cempa (meaning Warrior)

Age: 43

Personality: He is courageous and brave, but finds himself an odd one among the men of Rohan, disliking and even being afraid of horseback riding. He has three children, one of them being the kidnapped. He loves his family greatly and his hot temper has often protected them from even small dangers.

Notable Possessions: A beautiful bay horse that he never rides unless absolutely necessary, and a simple sword of Rohan make.

Physical Appearance: He has short blonde hair that falls a little above his shoulders and fiery blue eyes. He's muscular and his face usually looks stern. He has a scar on his arm he received in battle.

Special Game Owner notes
For everyone interested in taking part in this game, please post with your character's:

You can offer to play more than one character if you like. If you don't think you can post more than once a week, then this game probably isn't for you.

If you want to play a Rohan character but don't have any ideas for names, try www.mun.ca/Ansaxdat/vocab/wordlist.html, an Old English dictionary that will give you some great names.

Nice idea, Nuru..erm....have you any idea when this game would be starting? See, I have...a few things going on, and wont be able to do it for a wee while, although I'd like to, being as I havent been in an Imladris *hears mutters from the background along the lines of: Oh, nice one Silver, great RPG mod you are* Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP-

*notices people looking at her oddly.* That, erm....no one said anything? Ah, right...*backs out slowly*

[Nurumaiel]

Easy answer to that: When enough players join.

[glow=red,2,300]Erm... you mind if I join?[/glow]
Name: Faeryn

Age: 34

Type: Rohan - mother of the girl

Personality: temperamental, but nice, really. A good fighter, despite the fact that she is a woman.

Notable Possessions: A small sword, a golden amulet.

Physical Appearance: Blue eyes, wavy long blonde hair, thin, tall.

[Nurumaiel]

Wonderful! You're in. Hopefully enough will join so this game will actually work.

So we have the father and the mother so far.

[Elentari]

Name: Morgen (old english for morning)
Age: Don't know what age you wanted her to be, but I think it would be interesting to have her quite young: 9
Type: Rohan: the girl
Personality: Very playful and easily excitable. Hates to stay indoors. She is very kind, and at times is wise beyond her years, telling even the eldest of her friends when they have done wrong, and what to do to fix it.
Notable Possessions: she wears a piece of quartze attached to some nice srting around her neck. She found it the last time she saw her parents, before she was kidnapped.
Physical blue-green eyes, odd as both of her parents' eyes are blue, and is of average height for her age. She wears a dull dirty-cream dress, which is fairly muddy from playing outside all the time, with some old grass stains too.




I'll play one of the Rohan men, but I'll do that profile later. ^_^ Hope you like...

[Nurumaiel]

How could I refuse you? Welcome!

So far we have:

The Father- Nurumaiel
The Mother- NannaSmeagolsen
The Daughter- Elentari

And we still need:

Rohan Company (7)
Bandits (3)

I will probably play one of the bandits as well as the father, and Elentari has volunteered to play one of the Rohan company.

[Alatáriel]

Hi, I'm new here. I'd like to play one of the bandits... if thats okay with everyone else. I noticed the last post was on the 15th, is this actually going to start anytime soon?

[Nuru]

Here I am, having just found the link to the site after leaving home for awhile and not having my password available.

Alatariel, you can join, but you just need to fill out the profile (see first post). The game will be starting, but since Imladris is new it's a bit more difficult to get people to join the game because there are so few people. So things will be going a little slow for awhile...

Okie Dokie ;D

Welcome aboard! ;D

[Eowyn Skywalker]

Name: Seragon Jaade

Age: 27

Type: Bandit

Personality: A younger male, trained as a child in sword-play and as a woodsman, for he grew up among the Rangers, he ran away when he was 18, and joined a band of Bandits. He is hardened in woods skills, and one might almost say he was an elf, for he is soft, ans sure footed, and slips through the night as a wraith. He has little mercy.

Notable Possessions: An old battered sword with barely visible runes ingraved on it, and a golden ring set with a green stone, and a strange leaf pattern sketched on it.

Physical Appearance: Short, but battle hardened, he has shoulder lenght brown hair, and always wears dark green and brown clothing, with a brown cloak that hides his dark brown eyes.

Here's my profile, I love playing bad guys.
-Eowyn Skywalker, though now Seragon Jaade.

Dunno if this is still going on, but it's worth a shot!

Name: Delinor Teyina
Age: 35
Type: (bandit or Rohan) Rohan
Personality: Delinor is quiet and likes to think things through before jumping to conclusions. He is not, however, a push over. If someone disrespects or harms his wife, he will severly harm them.
Notable Possessions: An ancient longsword and an appaloosa horse named Anora.
Physical Appearance: Tall with dark blonde waves that hangs to his shoulders and into his eyes. Behind strands of sandy color two stormy gray eyes are seen on an angular face.

Thanks! I've got roleplay experience; don't think I'm a newbie at RP'ing because it's short and I'm new here. I'm just low on time.

Nuru, are you still up for leading this game? If not, we'll need some one else to step forward and be in charge.
