The Last Great War OOC
The thread is getting larger, and I thought it might be good, with the permission of Rubeus, to start an OOC thread here we can discuss what is going on without having to put it in the actual story thread. Currently Pelargir has just fallen, Rubeus has died (because he found an old name that he is now using), and everybody is retreating to Minas Tirith, escorted by Bao and his calvary, where they will make a stand.

Alright I thought it would be nice if everyone posted a short description of their character, I'll go first:
User Name: Beren One-Hand RPG Name: Beren Race: Human Nationality: Gondorian Occupation: Soldier Rank: The Captain of all the Gondorian forces in Minas Tirith Age: 32 Weapon, Primary: Anduril, An heirloom of his family Weapon, Secondary: Bow Weapons, other: Short Dagger, Throwing knife Armor: Silver (colored) Gondorian Armor, No Helm, Shield Biography: A grandson of King Elessar, and prince, but he has an older brother who will have the throne. Beren fought very little as these times have been for the most part very peaceful, so this will be his test to prove he is worthy of his position.

His father fell in love with an Elf-maid. Despite their forbidden love, they were married in Gondor and there conceived Albus. After his father was killed in a siege upon the city of Osgiliath, his mother took him to his father's distant kin of Dunedain in the far North of Middle Earth. There, his great-grandfather took him in and raised him. When he was older, his mother's brother rode to him and delivered his sword, which had belonged to his father. After his great-grandfather died, he assumed the leadership of the tribe and ruled for some time. After the lands were seized by orcs, he fled to the South, where he met up with Beren.
