This is just like the LotR trilogy, except with a new twist. Sauron has noticed that the ring is near, and, ever since that, the whole Middle-Earth world is converting between good and evil. Everytime a flash goes throughout the sky, the people throughout Middle-Earth change side. The good side turns bad, and the bad side turns good. Some people from the real world has been summoned to Middle-Earth in order to aid in destroying the ring. For, once the ring is destroyed, this chaos will end.
Were summoned: There is a "reason" why they were called to help.

To better explain the pairing up. There isn't any romance, sorry guys. But, the pairing up is just who the certain character keeps most of their attention towards. Like, each summoned person has to make sure all of the characters are protected, but they consentrate on one in particular. (Like that basketball play.) Also, I ask that if you are going to be a Fellowship Member and an OC, please do not have your OC watch the Fellowship member you are playing, just so it is more like a RP.
Little Further Explaining wrote:
The light is simply a method to ensure when the Gollum-like states start and stop. Basically, so we don't have Frodo being evil and Aragorn being good at one time. All Middle-Earth characters change back and forth at the same time.
Yes, it is random, mostly. The only thing that changes is how frequent it is. At first, it will be slow, and it will become more frequent as the ring gets closer to Mordor.
The Middle Earth characters that are being played are the nine Fellowship members. All other characters are free reign for everyone. Unless someone wants to join, and that character is going to have a major part. Like, when we get to Rohan, if someone wants to be Eowyn or Theoden.
But, that doesn't really have to be worried about until later.
The nine characters are just people from our present-day world that have some ability, knowledge, talent, etc. that would help accomplish the task of destroying the Ring.
The RP will start right after the Council of Elrond.
