Very much a work-in-progress here. Posting my base character here in the chance I join the Lost Realms of Arnor RP.
Name: Hanasían
Age: Born in the Spring of 2990 of the Third Age.
Race: Northern Dunedain
Appearance: In the years after the War of the Ring, his appearance was handsome yet grim. The years had been hard. He had dark hair with a tint of yellow in it, slightly curled, that he kept roughly hewn about the shoulders. he had slight dark facial hair, thickening at the chin that is also roughly hewn. The war had left their mark, having been wounded in the great battles of Pelonner and before the Black Gate. A few small scars could be seen on his forehead and cheek, with a larger, prominent scar cutting inward and down across the right side of his forehead, cleaving his eyebrow, and re-appearing down on his lower eyelid and out across his right cheekbone. This war wound caused the right of his sea-grey eyes to squint a bit compared to his left.
He is tall, but considered average by the standards of the northern Dunedain. He walked with an ever-so-slight limp from his right leg caused by an arrow wound in the war. His usual attire was his sturdy, yet supple and well-worn dark grey leathers consisting of boots, breeches, a sleeveless vest and a full-sleeved coat cut and fitted allowing for free arm movement. Over it all he would wear a well-worn dark grey-green Ranger's hooded cloak that had some few small tatters, unadorned except with a silver rayed brooch on the left shoulder.
Bio: Born and raised in a remote homestead north of Bree, he was primarily raised by his mother as his father was away much of the time for he was a Ranger. Hanasían was the eldest of two children, having a younger sister born not long after he. Keen to learn, he would listen and absorb from others all he could. As he grew, he was sent to study lore under the elves in Rivendell. There he became skilled with knife and sword, and slightly less so with a bow. He tended to his training and would become, as most young men of the Dunedain did, a Ranger.
Being accepted to ride in the year 3010, it was a darkening time in the lands. At first his main assignments were to watch the road east and south of Bree, and he learned more-so the ways of the wild. He learned combat and had his first kills when riding in the north as the orc and warg raids from the Ettenmoors became more numerous. His biggest test came at Sarn Ford where he tried to stand before the Nazgul with his comrades. His horse broke and fled, but he regained control of her to return to the ford where some few of the hardier veterans attempted to oppose them. But when darkness began to close in, the night was the Nazgul's. The few Rangers were too weak to prevent the Nazgul from entering the Shire. They then withdrew and made for Bree where they hoped to find and hold counsel with their chieftain, Aragorn.
They did not find him, but did have word with Gandalf. They watched and intimidated and confused when they could the Nazgul in hopes of keeping some of the niine away from their chieftain and his quest to Rivendell and beyond. It was later that year when Halbarad called them in haste to ride with him south to aid their chieftain. Hanasían was one of thirty that answered the call right away and left with little word. To war they went, and Hanasían fought well in taking the ships. In the fields of Pelennor the fighting was hard. He was wounded by a blade across the face, an arrow in the thigh, and remembered little else of the battle after he was struck in the head. Not far away from where he lay, Halbarad lay mortally wounded. The both were found amongst the carnage after the battle. Hanasian was awake but stunned. He sat with his back against a dead Easterling, Halbarad's head cradled in his lap. Hanasían's wounds were tended to and was deemed well enough to ride forth to the Black Gate of Mordor. There in the battle he was again wounded in the side, but lived and was healed.
After the war and their chieftain married and was made king of Arnor and Gondor, he applied for and was formally discharged of his duty. But he stayed in the south where he lingered in the inns without aim. It was here he took up a call to join the Free Company of Gondor. For two years he rode to the east, subduing remnants of resistance that lingered. He had had enough of war and killing, but a soldier was what he was. There was word that there was still work to do in the north in Arnor, and so he collected his pay and took leave of the Free Company to return north. and offer his services.
