Well, I guess I should make a character profile thingy...so here goes.

Name: Unknown,
Occupation: Priest, healer, wanderer.
Appearance: Looks like a very old man, with a long flowing beard, red eyes, and a large scar on his face. He often walks hunched, as if carrying the burden of age, though he surprises some with his strength when fighting.

I have a feeling the story of his life will be rather short, due to my lack of imagination, and that which is simply unknown. Hopefully more will develop later.

Little is known of his earlier life, as he has forgotten parts (willfully or accidently), and since his change in appearance has rendered him unrecognizable to many.
However, he was obviously taught swordcraft from a rather unique character. During his travels he has learned the fine art of making tea...tea which many agree is the best in miles. He is very well trained in magic, though he never uses the dark arts, having learned firsthand what they do to one's body. Not much more is known, except that he has spent time in Thranduil's dungeons. He possesses an ancient harp, which he values highly for reasons unknown.

I flew all the way from Texas to New England to spend two weeks with miss Nienor. 5 of those days were to survive on an uninhabited island. Booyah.

Not bad at all mate! Short but very intersting. There is certainly space for further development of this character. Good job!

Thank you all kindly. I've started a much more elaborate bio, and it should be out within a week. I can't handle more than a few hours a day, so bear with me. I really want to tell you all what's happening already, but I know I shouldn't. All I can say is that everything WILL work out somehow...it'll just take a hundred years or so :P
