Ok, I'm going to try to create a new RP, and this time I'm putting in rules.
1. (Most likely the most important) No drastic powers, such as healing, conjuring elements, and teleporting. I want this to be as natural as possible. You can have skills, such as good fighting abilities, and you can be skilled at tending wounds and such, but nothing drastic.
2. Please keep it down on the elves, since this RP takes place after most of the elves leave for Valinor.
3. No powerplaying without permission, since this may come off as rude to some people, and thus create an awkward RP.
4. If you join this RP late, please read the whole thread before posting. It will cut down on confusion.
5. Last, but not least, give everyone a fair chance to participate. I know things get out of hand and we all have a hard time with concidering everyone, but we can at least try.
Bad guys welcome! lol

My Character:
Name: Arinae Renlith
Race: Mortal
Age: around 30 or so, but looks young, having said to have a touch of elven blood in her background.
Gender: Female
Appearance: Fair skin, and redish blonde wavy hair, waist length, but often pulled back. Dark green eyes. Usually wears tracker/ranger's garb, with a Lorien cloak given to her as a gift.
Abilities: Rather good at tracking, archery, and surviving in the wild, taught to her by the elves of Lorien, as well as swordsmanship taught to her by a friend in Rohan.
Weapons: An elven bow, and a broadsword in Rohan fashion, named Aerisar.
Personality: Youthful and energetic, yet careful in the way she goes about, she is kind and caring and polite, but still cautious around strangers.
Animals: A horse named Stardance, given to her by a friend in Rohan, white in color with a few specks of silver-grey here and there.
History: Arinae was a Rohan child, orphaned at a young age, and a close friend of the family, Elonyn, took her in, but when she was 7, they were traveling when somehow along the way they were seperated. Arinae met with a few elves of Lothlorien, and it was there her name was given to her, and they raised and taught her in the way of the elves. When she was 17, 10 years after she had been seperated from those of Rohan, she had never forgotten Elonyn, and took her leave of the elves, returning to Rohan. She remained there for a while and Elonyn was overjoyed at the long awaited return of Arinae. Arinae took that time to learn how to weild a broadblade, and was given a sword, which she named in the tongue of the Lorien elves she had grown to call family. After having spent her 22nd birthday with the Rohirrim, Arinae longed to return to the elves, and did so, though Elonyn was woeful at her leaving but gave her a horse of the best stock of Rohan, which Elonyn herself had named Stardance. Arinae was greeted warmly by her elven family in Lorien, though few of the elves still remained, and stayed there happily for the time being....

The Main Story:
30 some years after the Ring, villages in Rohan were being attacked at random, by orcs and the strange men of the far lands, gathered and driven by a force unknown. Though no one knew exactly what was behind the effort, driving it forward, it became rumored that the threat was headed towards Gondor's villages as well. Many began to gather from far and wide to come and pursue this growing enemy. They were small in number, but the threat was still there, as their skill and stealth was surprisingly effective, and they often attacked and burned villages during the night, using darkness as their cover and silence as their attack and escape. Arinae recieved word of these troubles, as well as word of the near death of her dear friend, the one who had raised her since she was an infant till she was 7 and whom she had often returned to visit. She was furious, and despite the insisting of the elves with whom she was dwelling that it was neither of her concern nor theirs, she made ready to take her leave, hoping to gather a small force to avenge the ruin of the villages and to halt the threat. Arinae had decided to once more return to her homeland, to weep for the lost, and defend the land.
Let the games begin!
