4, 17, 36, B & H for oc(s) of choice!

4. How easy is it to earn their trust?

Avei (SWTOR, Twi'lek smuggler) does not necessarily trust easily, but she does give chances easily. Maybe not the greatest character trait in her line of work, but she knows how much it sucks to be on rock bottom, so she likes to give others a chance if they need it. Cross her (or worse, her crew) and there will be no mercy, however.

17. Are they easily embarrassed?

Lailuva (LotRO, Elf) is not capable of embarrassment. Tolkien said some elves were stern and some were merry as children, and she is the second kind. One of her Mortal friends complains that those crebain are on the roof again and before they can say anything else she's climbed up there and is chasing them off, shrieking happily the entire time. Helwynn's Rohirric family is full of wonder that she actually met one of the mysterious Elves until she is exploring their chicken coop and talking to the fowl like they're old friends.

36. Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?

Helwynn (LotRO, shieldmaiden of Rohan) came to Eriador to kick ass and fight bad guys with the Rangers, not pick up some Ranger ass lol. But she and Amlach son of Amdir (yes, that Amdir) got along quite well (even after the events of the Epic storyline iykyk) and after the War of the Ring he asked leave from his lord Aragorn to remain with her in Rohan, instead of returning to Arnor with his kin. Aragorn was quite happy to grant it.

B) What inspired you to create them?

I've created characters literally as long as I remember. Started with my horse and dinosaur figures and now it's video games. I just think it's neat, to quote the Marge Simpson meme. I just like creating characters.

H) What trait do you admire most?

I am a Ravenclaw lolololol so knowledge. I'm also a Tolkien nut, so all my Tolkien characters usually have a thirst or appreciation for knowledge of Middle-earth. Similarly I love the idea of being a Jedi because you could spend the whole day in that cool library, and even the Sith have all those Korriban tombs to explore.

It broke Helwynn's heart to be banished from western Rohan, but she obeyed the order of King Théoden.

My LotRO Characters

Because I haven’t made a post assembling them all yet. So meet the team!

Elf hunter, my main and darling, started in 2010 and still going strong. Born 600 years before the War of the Ring in Rivendell, her parents’ death at the hands of goblins drove her to always help the Free Peoples as much as she could, along with her deep love of Middle-earth and all its wonders. Her hobbies include learning new languages, trying every alcohol ever made, and throwing herself off cliffs to find new places on the map.

Shieldmaiden of Rohan aka Mortal Woman Guardian, my secondary main and my tribute to my favorite kingdom of Men. An ordinary farmer living with her family in Rohan, she went west when an old friend of her father’s, the Ranger Amdir, asked for aid and she went in his stead and quickly found herself tangled up in the War of the Ring, particularly the affairs of Rangers and anything affecting her beloved homeland.

Elf Rune-keeper, favors lightning. Born in Brithombar six thousand years ago, she fled the fall of Beleriand with her sister and made it to Lothlórien, which became her beloved home. She studied rune-craft under many masters, but only when her sister’s granddaughter, Lailúva, persuaded her did she finally get involved in the War. Her main goal is to protect her precious homeland and she has little tolerance for Mortals, but there is a good heart under there somewhere.

Mortal Woman Champion, hailing from Minas Tirith. Born of an illicit affair between an archivist and a knight, she grew up with a foot in both worlds, pursuing scholarly matters along with serving the White City by taking up arms when needed. Her studies led her to discover that Isildur’s Heir yet lived, and she rode west to try and aid him in protecting Gondor and restoring it to its former glory.

Mortal Woman Warden, a citizen of Harad. When her tribe refused to submit to Sauron they were slaughtered; she escaped and found herself in Gondor, land of her hated enemies. A kind Ranger of Ithilien provided her with food and shelter, and from there she was able to journey to Eriador, where she quickly found herself caught in the affairs of Rangers and Wizards and more.

Mortal Woman Captain, born and raised in the Dale-lands. Her mother was a simple herbalist who found and rescued an injured Ranger far abroad; the affair that followed resulted in Rouann, unknown to her father who left to return home. After her mother’s death from illness, she headed west to try and find her father, but soon found herself heading east again. She has a strong connection to the Dwarves, having Erebor as a neighbor, and is quick to assist in Dwarven affairs when asked. She disdains criminals, but still develops a soft spot for a certain burglar.

Mortal Man and Burglar of the Men of Arnor. Thoronnir was orphaned then raised in Evendim by his kin, the Wardens of Annúminas, but soon fell in with brigands and the Blackwolds. In Archet, Aragorn gave him a choice: seek redemption with the Dúnedain or be regarded as an enemy and no more henceforth. Thoronnir chose to turn his path back to aiding his people and working against the enemy, although he remained notorious for sticky fingers. Part of his motivation for shaping up was when he fell for the beautiful red-headed Captain who pursued him longer and more thoroughly than any law-man ever had before.

Hobbit Minstrel of the Fallohides. Snapdragan was a fairly ordinary Shire resident, fond of food, drink, and good cheer. Crossing paths with a certain Baggins and company on the wrong night got her involved in more than she meant, but she is always glad to lift the spirits of her friends. She has a knack for attracting various woodland creatures, and storing more food than should be possible in a saddlebag.

Dwarf Rune-keeper, born in the Blue Mountains to Erebor refugees. Odd for a dwarf, he preferred books and runes over the forge and gemstones, but nevertheless put his interests to good use. His parents returned to a reclaimed Erebor but he stayed in Ered Luin, the home he knew, and helped protect and reclaim it from the Dourhands. From there he found himself involved more and more in the War of the Ring.

High-elf Lore-master, spent most of the First Age in Doriath. She loves all living things but has a special affinity for animals. She prefers to wander and explore, doing her own thing, and it was a complete accident she made it out of Beleriand before its destruction. She quite likes Radagast and her priorities are usually similar, focusing less on the big War things and more on being an Elf hippy. She is kind and helpful when called upon but even other Elves think she’s a bit of a weirdo. She doesn’t mind, though.

High Elf Captain but technically supposed to be a regular Elf, I just wanted to play with High Elf more. Born and raised in Rivendell, she is one of its high-ranking guards and takes its protection seriously. She rarely leaves, but when she does can be seen on Ascardal, her night-black horse. Because she is based on a childhood OC, she is also romantically involved with Elrohir, but things are mostly on hold so they can both focus on serving and protecting the Elves of Rivendell and all Free Folk during the War.

Female Stout-axe Brawler, born a slave in Mordor and then escaped. I wanted to try a Stout-axe and Brawler and if you follow my art blog, you know I’m salty over losing a certain favorite character because of the actress’ behavior, and a character born to punch? Let’s name her after Cara Dune. Like her namesake, she has bitterness over the hardships she’s endured, but there’s a good heart there and given the chance, she rises to the occasion to join the good guys in fighting the bad ones.
