Man am I going to have to be Saruman again.

Naw. Still plenty of other evil lads.

Naw. Still plenty of other evil lads.

But I don't want to be evil! *Stomps foot* I want to be neutral chaotic...

Has anyone chosen the remnants of the Men of Dale?

[Bearon]

Oh.

lol.


So everyone how exactly is this going to start? Were should the Witch King be in the beginning? Also which task should he focus on first? Finding the ring, or leading the Hordes of Mordor?

GTECH likes to systematically conquer everybody...

Good times are had by all.

Indeed. You're just so good at military tactics. xD

Naaaahhhh. I just know the power of manuever, local concentration of force, and strategic withdrawal

You have read Sun Tzu, I presume?

Also, I'm thinking about apping for Gandalf. He seems important to the story, at least to me.

Actually, never. I'm familiar with some of his precepts, but for the most part I found them to be aggressively generalized; while some are applicable, knowing the limitations of the force you have is far more important than understanding the sweeping strokes of strategy.

Sun Tzu and Karl von Clausewitz, linchpins of military thinking. *nods sagely*
Until you start fighting an actual war.

I'd believe so.

I'm thinking as apping as a member of the fellowship to add diversity to my ranks, but what to do...

You know what would be weird to have in a fellowship? An evil man like a Rhun, Haradiran or Corsair.

[Bearon]

Has anyone apped for the Rangers?

I'd believe so.

That would be weird considering you just said they're EVIL.

I've already got quite a humorous idea for a Rhunic Individual in a group - though, I can't say as it'll spoil the surprise.

I just checked the accepted character list, Starlight apparently controls Gandalf.

[Black Marshes]

Character App-
Character name: Arq'tadan
Race: Man
Appearance: A tall, dark-skinned male with long, dark hair. He generally adorns himself with Haradrim battle-armour arms himself with a shortbow, scimitar and spear, as well as the Black Serpent banner.
History: Arq'tadan was born into one of the many nomadic tribes of Near Harad. Although small and relatively weak, his tribe were masters of battle, boasting some of the greatest warriors in the ranks of the Haradrim, and so naturally he grew to become an exceptional soldier- both at range and in combat. Upon coming of age he joined the ranks of his tribe's war party, and proved himself as a competent commander, as well as developing the skill to fire while on horseback. These factors would come into play when the Dark Lord summoned the warriors of Harad North to crush the Kingdom of Gondor, where he established himself as one of the higher-ranking commanders within the Haradrim war host.
He now fights as one of Harad's leading commanders in the war against the 'Free Peoples' of Middle-Earth, seeking glory and conquest in his many exploits.
AlignmentEvil
Goals: Serve Harad and gain glory through battle
Other: He is a Haradrim General, answering directly to the Knight of Umbar
How active will you be?: Will try daily

This next one is a blind shot, just an idea I had:

Character App-
Character name: Borsig Flesh-Bane
Race: Beorning
Appearance: Borsig is very tall, even for a Beorning, with long, grey-white hair and grey eyes. He coats himself with the hide of a snow-troll, it's fur and thick hide providing both warmth and protection, and is armed with two large axes that, if given to a man, would normally be considered great battle-axes, but in Borsig's large, strong hands they are mere petty war axes.
History: Borsig was born to a small band of Beornings who attempted to migrate across the Misty Mountains and resettle in the West, thinking Forodwaith an easier route than the great High Pass. They were gravely mistaken. After crossing almost half of the great wastes, a horrendous snowstorm and subsequent avalanche resulted in the deaths of all of the party, save Borsig, who only just escaped being consumed by the avalanche with the discovery of an exceptionally large tree. He spent the next days searching around the area for his companions and supplies, ending his search after discovering his mother's carcass, who which he mourned for for several days.
After he completed his mourning, he was consumed by a shell of rage and roamed Forodwaith, releasing his anger on any and all he came across.
During this period Borsig destroyed a few tribes of Northmen and Orcs, as well as slaying the great troll Strokhoth with his bare hands, who's hide now covers Borsig as a trophy, and serves as a warning to all who dwell in the North. Eventually he calmed himself, and began developing a new way of life in the Northern Wastes centred on hunting, earning him the title 'Flesh-Bane' after his lack of discrimination between the meat for his meals.
Eventually he began exploring the lands of Forodwaith and proceeded to offer his skills as a guide and bodyguard to those who traversed the great wastes, giving him considerable knowledge on the news of Middle-Earth and it's people. He is now beginning to decide his stance on the war, and is speculating on leaving Forodwaith to gain a first-hand account of the situation to make his decision.
Alignment Neutral- is not yet clear on his stance relating to the War of the Ring
Goals: Survive the onslaught of the War of the Ring
Other: I'm thinking of sending him to the Ring Council at the start of the RP (if he's accepted) to see what happens
How active will you be?: Daily

I know he probably won't be accepted, but it's worth a try

*Sigh* Ah man! I really thought I had him there! (Gandalf)
I suppose you can have him, James.

[The Starlight]

Man am I going to have to be Saruman again.

We'll find someone for you, I'm sure.
But Saruman would be pretty interesting, playing as Saruman the Black.
