Post subject: | War Under the Trees |
Set in the year 3019 of the Third Age. Even while the War of the Ring is in full swing in realms beyond, the Forest of Mirkwood is facing problems of its own. Dol Goldur is once again awake, and many attacks on the elves of the forest occur. If these attacks aren't stopped, Mirkwood itself could succumb completely to the darkness that has threatened to take over it for years. Starts in the month of January, and we'll start once several others join.. Characters: Aradan, Aranel, and Elwen - Raven Meleth - Meleth Turwaithiel - Turwaithiel Bios: Name: Aradan Meaning: Noble Man, or literally, Prince. Date of birth: 3,430 of the Second Age. Age: 3,030 in the War of the Ring. Gender: Male Race: Elven Appearance: Tall with a lean build, Aradan has short-cropped blond hair and grey eyes. Picture: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/ ... Aradan.jpg Attire: Depends, usually clothes more befitting a ranger than a Prince of Mirkwood. Weapons: A standard longsword and longbow, as well as several daggers he carries with him at all times. Family: -Father: Thranduil -Mother: Aerwen(deceased), -Brother: Legolas -Sisters: Elwen and Aranel(twin) -Wife: Doesn't have one..yet. -Children: N/A History: The eldest of the children of Thranduil and Aerwen, Aradan was born in the year 3,430 of the Second Age, the year that the Last Alliance of Men and Elves was formed. His life has been one typical of a Royal, though he is more often out in the woods of Mirkwood then back home at the Palace, and he has yet to find an elleth to 'settle down with', much to his father's chagrin. Name: Aranel Meaning: Noble Maiden, or literally, Princess. Date of Birth: 3,430 of the Second Age Age: 3,030 in the War of the Ring Gender: Female Race: Elven Appearance: Like a female version of her twin brother...literally. Attire: Depends, usually clothes more befitting a ranger than a Princess of Mirkwood. Weapons: Standard longsword and longbow, as well as several daggers. Family: -Father: Thranduil -Mother: Aerwen(deceased) -Brothers: Legolas and Aradan(twin) -Sister: Elwen -Husband: N/A -Children: None. History: Coming later.. Name: Elwen Randíriel Meaning: Maiden of the Stars, Wandering Maiden Date of birth: 1,050 of the Third Age. Age: 1,969 during the War of the Ring Gender: Female Race: Elven Appearance: She is tall and slender, with reddish-brown hair and brilliantly clear blue eyes. Attire: Depends..most often 'ranger' attire. Weapons: A Mirkwoodian longsword with ocean waves engraved onto the hilt, and a Mirkwood longbow. Family: -Father: Thranduil -Mother: Aerwen(deceased) -Brothers: Aradan and Legolas -Sister: Aranel -Husband: Doesn't have one, but may soon be engaged. -Children: None. History: Born the youngest of Thranduil and Aerwen's four children, Elwen is far from a proper young elleth. Preferring to be out in the forest, like her brother Aradan and sister Aranel, she seems more like a ranger than a princess to those who don't know her personally. Despite this oddity, she still acts the part of royalty well, knowing when to act tactfully, or when to just be 'herself'. _____________________________________________________________ Name: Meleth Elenwen Meaning: Beloved Star Maiden Date of Birth: Year 2972 of the Second Age Age: Depends upon RP Gender: Female Race: Elven, Sindarin Appearance: Tall, like most elves, with long straight silver hair. Black eyes. Not unusually pretty for an elf, but obviously more attractive than a human. She has an air of slight mystery and has an extremely hard face to forget. Garb: Dark-colored, but well made. She very rarely wears dresses, preferring instead to look like one of the Dunedain. Weapons: Twin knives, Silme and Are (Seel-may and ah-ray, moonlight and sunlight) and a bow and arrows. Family: Father, Suiadan; mother, Elenya; Siblings Adanessa and Linnadhiel, Sellion and Aearion. All deceased as of SA 3075. Husband: None, she is afraid of anyone getting close to her. And therefore - no children. History: Feared by the current Lord of Mirkwood, Meleth's family was assassinated at his command. She was never able to prove it, but harbors a veiled dislike of the Mirkwood royal family. Unable to stay in Mirkwood, she lived in Lorien for a time but was restless, and therefore wanders Middle-Earth, usually staying near the Misty Mountains.Weapons: Bow and arrows predominantly, and twin knives. _____________________________________________________________ Name-Turwaithiel Lhûgdagnir Translation- Victorious among the Elves, Warrior Race: Woodlen Elf Birth Year-SA 1492 Hair-Dark brown Eyes-Silver Face-resembles her father...an stern yet cheerful face Lineage- Mother- Ithilwen (deceased) Father- Tegalad Siblings-Veryangóle Cousin-Rhavaniel Married?-No Children?-No Weapons- Rivendell Bow with Mirkwood Arrows, Lothlorien Wrist Dagger, Archer's Bane Sword, An necklace that shine when darkness reigns Animals: An White Mare named Tathar Basic clothing: She almost always wears an battle-like clothes; an pair of light brown breeches, an white undershirt with an light dragonscale silver vest on top. History- Turwaithiel was born and raised in the Mirkwood Forest. Her mother died giving birth to her and her brother, Veryangóle, whom are the same age. Her father then left them in the care of an old Dunedain Ranger as he left and went to the Valnior. Turwaithiel has been raised as an Knight Archer of the Forest and Protecter of the Leaf.

I'm currently working on Meleth's bio, but here's her normal one: Name: Meleth Elenwen (Beloved Star Maiden) Gender: Female. Age: Not known exactly. Race: Elven Appearance: Tall, like most elves, with long straight silver hair. Black eyes. Not unusually pretty for an elf, just normal. History: Meleth's family died in an orc raid when she was small. She carries the grief of their loss with her still and the pain of it has driven her away from her home. She wanders mostly, never having found anywhere to call much of a home. Personality: Can be snappish. Always secretive, never very friendly to anyone she doesn't know. She cares intensely about the few people she loves. Weapons: Bow and arrows predominantly, and twin knives. |

Of course! And I'm gonna go ahead and start, since I'm bored.. ![]() _____________________________________________________________ Nightfall found a small group of elves in the Forest of Mirkwood being hunted by orcs. For two days this had gone on now, with hardly any time to stop and rest, and several of their number had already been killed or wounded. Now, however, they finally had to call a halt to rest, no matter what would happen when the orcs found them. "This isn't a good idea, 'Dan." Aranel said, nervously glancing around at the trees around them. "What else were we going to do, Ara?" Aradan asked shortly, not meaning to speak like that, and he then sighed. "We can't just keep running until we drop dead..we need to get back to the Palace.." |

"I never understood why we came anyway," said Meleth bad-temperedly, leaning against a tree to catch her breath. "It would be far safer and more productive to stay put." ((Lol I love you Raven...whenever I'm bored you start something interesting ![]() |

(Lol, I just get very random ideas when I'm bored, and put them into action. *shrugs*) "If we didn't come, who knows what would have happened to the border guards." Aradan said, snapping once again without meaning to. He was very stressed out right now, to say the least, and with good reason.. |

"When I was a b -" began Meleth, but stopped herself. She had no wish to get into why she'd been a border guard at one time - she was only helping now because though they were of the Mirkwood royal family, Aradan and his siblings were the nicest she'd met in a while, while Meleth couldn't stand their father. "Well, they're elves. They should be able to take care of themselves." |

Aradan sighed heavily and started to say something in response, but froze as Aranel laid a gentle hand on his shoulder. "She's right, 'Dan..you're stressing yourself too much. You're not responsible for everyone in Mirkwood, you know." |

Meleth nodded. "We should really get back." |

Aradan finally nodded reluctantly. "I know.." he said, then realized something. "Where's Elwen?" "I don't kn-" Aranel began, then froze. This could not be good.. |

Meleth swiftly retraced their last few steps. She bit her lip. "She wasn't with us for at least the last couple minutes," she stated, standing and turning to look at the others. "That's bizarre - she would never have gone without our knowing." Her unspoken suggestion hovered in the air - maybe Elwen hadn't gone of her own accord. |

Both Aradan and Aranel were quick to note that unspoken suggestion..and Aranel looked about ready to panic. "Last time I saw her was when we the orcs almost caught up with us about an hour ago..it was getting too dark to notice if she wasn't around.." "Then that means they probably got her." Aradan said darkly. |

Meleth's lips tightened. "There's only one option, then," she said, tying her silver hair out of her face. "Let's hunt some orc." |
