Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Character Weaknesses/Flaws: Doesn't work as well in a group as she does alone, perfectionist to the extreme, somewhat withdrawn and has difficulty being outgoing, also has strong emotions which occasionally rise to the surface as a fiery temper.
Character Background: A daughter of Finarfin, Prince of remnant of the Noldor in Valmar, and Earwen, Swan-Maiden of Alqualonde, who was born sometime after the departure of the Exiles from Valinor.

Finduin's name, in Quenya, the High-Elven-tongue means, roughly, "Hair like a long river".(Fin=hair, duin=long river. This is actually cannon Tolkien Elvish.)
She grew up in a land of bliss and peace, but her parents always told her the histories of the dawn of the elves, and of the Two Trees, which were no more, and of the treachery of Melkor, and the kinslaying at Alqualonde, and the flight of the Exiles, and of her sundered kindred who were among the Exiles, whom she had never met. She lived happily enough, save that she often wondered what lay outside her protected home, out in the wide lands of Middle-Earth. She liked at times to travel alone to the gap in the Calacirya, the Encircling Mountains, to gaze at the stars and listen to the sea. It was on the last of these trips that,as she stood looking out over the wide sea, she seemed to see, on a sudden, wide lands rushing towards her. She was torn between fear and fascination, so she hesitated, and so it was that she was caught up in a rent that occurred momentarily in the fabric of the world, and hurled ungraciously into another time and place....
Additional Notes: Finduin loves language, poetry, song, music, horseback-riding, sparring, swimming, dancing, and she loves all manner of flowers, trees, beasts and especially birds. However, at the moment of her arrival she was completely terrified and it took her a while before she was able to overcome her fear of her new surroundings and sadness at the loss of her home and family and to take an earnest interest in life once more.

Queen Freawaru Erikson of the Northern Alliance sighed wearily and thrust her sleek i-phone as deep as it would go into the pocket of her business slacks. Another offer for the Scaninavian Oil and Mineral Deposits. Another offer she would turn down. Another meeting of Parliament during which her ministers would frown at her. Another news announcement that would anger many of her subjects. It was always the oil and minerals these days. Things had reached a point where it was difficult for the Queen to remember a life without constant offers, pleas, remonstrances, threats, even, pertaining to the mining of, or otherwise, of Scandinavia's rich deposits of natural resources.
The deposits had recently become available since climate change had thawed the heretofore frozen lands containing the underground wealth. It seemed half the world wanted to buy it from the Northern Alliance, and what was worse, Freawaru often felt she was the only person within the Alliance itself who did not support the mining of the SOAMD. Called an environmental extremist, a tree-hugging hippy, the world's greatest fool, even crazy, Queen Freawaru sometimes wondered if she were not all of them at once. Nonetheless, she would not change her mind. Not yet, anyway. Not until it was inevitable. She secretly entertained the fantasy of ODing if things ever reached the point wherein the pristine wildernesses of the north lands would be permanently, messily and obscenely destroyed.
The Queen pulled herself suddenly out of her reverie, and with an air of finality, touched a small, round, white panel on a screen mounted on the wall. A soft chime sounded from somewhere outside the door to her personal study. Freawaru took a deep breath. After a moment, she heard a polite knock on the oak-paneled door, which was immediately followed by the entrance of a tall, white-haired man whose striking blue eyes contrasted with his somewhat portly figure. The man gave a quick bow, followed by a studied murmur of, "Your Majesty."
Queen Freawaru spun her chair quickly around to face him. She nodded quickly at the man, whose bland features did not entirely hide an expression of dislike. In a curt voice, she addressed the man. "My answer to our latest prospective buyer is the same as always. No." There was a pause, during which the two people regarded each other, one with an air of rigid determination, the other with cold politeness and ill-disguised contempt. Then, her voice a shade sharper, Freawaru Erikson said, "That is all," with the obvious expectation of being obeyed without question. The man waited for just half a moment, flirting with rebellion, before nodding, with another murmured "Your Majesty", and then turning and leaving the room, closing the door soundlessly behind him.
Queen Freawaru sat as still as ice for a moment, retaining her dignity, as if she fancied her subject to be listening outside the door for her to sigh or groan. Then she slowly spun back toward her desk, allowed her shoulders to slump, and pulled out her i-phone. She typed herself a memo;
"Turned down another offer. Jared Ferguson is testing my authority. Remember to watch him, especially during parliament."

I don't really mind too much. Ray's already got $20 million, he didn't need the crazy tech. Would have been more interesting in my mind if he'd been able to make the drop, got a promotion, and then when the tech was placed on the plane, the Horsemen jacked it and stole the tech before the plane lands and delivers an empty crate to a facility lab.
