Sorry, Doitean! I was just going off the top of my head! XD

Wit, I have linked it here before. Here it is again:

Not at all, Boli, myself and the Hulkero are the only ones to actually post so far... and I don't even have a character up! XD

Also, in essence you changed nothing but the title, Creation... he still has armies and is ridiculously OP! Remember, there are Hobbits in this thread.

First of all, I stated that most of his kindred had left Ilphryn and went to the Undying Lands.

Once the Fourth Age came in, most of the elves in Ilphryn had passed to the Undying Lands. Elendar, had no need for the army he had for he saw no danger, now that the enemy was vanquished.
Until news came to him of a new danger rising.

Elendar now fears for the worse...

This post will pretty much explain everything.

First I stated;

Once the Fourth Age came in, most of the elves in Ilphryn had passed to the Undying Lands.

This includes his army. While just a few remained loyal, the majority has left.
In this role play Elendar is going to have only a small group of scouts, for that is all which was left.

Secondly;

Elendar, had no need for the army he had for he saw no danger, now that the enemy was vanquished.

This refers to the fact that most of the elven warriors had left, but since he had no need for them, there was pretty much no use for an army. In short, they left.

Lastly;

Until news came to him of a new danger rising.

Elendar now fears for the worse...

When he hears the news of danger rising, he can't do anything because he does not have an army.
He fears because he only has but a small scouting team, to protect Ilphryn.

Btw, the scouting team will be composed of any OC's that would like to join, as warriors of Ilphryn who stayed behind.

*Also even if I had an army, I would not use it in role play. Obviously... That wouldn't be fair, and if I don't like when others play unfair then why should I? They are just there for... "decoration.." Nothing more, nothing less. So I did not just change the title, I changed pretty much everything.

 

[Ben]

Post guys! D:

 

[Creation]

It's good to know my post was ignored, and if it wasn't at least post something in regard.
I'd like to know if it is still possible to roleplay as him or not.

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

So is this still open to be joined?

 

[Dóiteán]

I'd say so.

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

Can I post character ideas here? Or should I pm them instead?

 

[Ben]

Post 'em here.

Also, @Creation, why? No one here is obligated to answer you, and I am not leading this, so I - and many others - are not in a possition to do so, either. So if we choose to not directly address it, or even regard it as you oh-so-petulantly put it, then we can do so. Calm down.

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

I didn't know we could be agents for the "enemy" in this rp. I could throw one or two baddies that way off the top of my head. Hulkero's idea of non-evil orcs is very tempting to someone who likes to play outsider characters like myself, though I think I'll make an evil orc just cause.

So I have two ideas for characters I'd like to make a choice about right now. One would be a haradrim agent for the emporer, the lord of a loyalist tribe who has been sent on his order to investigate the troubling news of the north, and protect the south from threat.

The other would be a gondorian knight of some kind, sworn to the throne and maybe of the stewards line, who has gone to offer aid and investigate the 8 black riders who raided minas tirith. Possibly thrown in a revenge plot with someone he cared about dying at their hands.

 

[Ben]

Sounds cool! Dodge the revenge plot though! D:

Posts like this really don't help your case. Diverse RPs are, for the most part, moderated by the participants, so it's in your best interests to be a little less hostile if you want to get accepted into the RP at all.

Anyway, per your character - if he's half Vanyar, the only time he could really be born is following the War of Wrath - not a single Vanyar left with Feanor to fight Morgoth, and I think that extends to half-Vanyar as well. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though, it's been a while since I've read the Sil.

His height's off as well - the Eldar are much taller then Men, and even the Edain could stand to seven feet tall iirc, so 5'6" is way too short for an Elf.

The biggest problem everyone'll have with your character, as well, is that he's lord of a city that never existed and has no bearing on the RP at all. You're better off making him associated with Lindon or Hollin tbh, rather then unnecessarily claiming power or influence that won't exist in the RP, because whether you like it or not, it'll smell of powergaming.

Remember, the blood of Numenor is all but gone, and most of the Noldor at least (it's unsure what happened with the Silvan Elves of Mirkwood) have passed into the West. Even the most common of Elves will be many times stronger then anyone they encounter. You've got enough advantages just by playing an Elf, so try not to stack on too much extra stuff on top of that.

 

[Ben]

Such Boli.

Very wise.

Wow.

 

[Creation]

Did I write 5'6? o.O Wow.

Well then, I understand the problem about the city, perhaps if I created it at the end of the Third Age, it would make a huge difference.

Also, I did not intend to be hostile, so forgive me.
Btw, are we roleplaying Dagor Dagorath? Which is The Final Battle when Morgoth escapes the Door of Night

I'm truly sorry for anything, I haven't participated in any kind of roleplay for a long time, so I'm kinda lost, if that makes any sense.

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

Sounds cool! Dodge the revenge plot though! D:

Why?

 

[Ben]

That is just subjective recommendation, you should probably ignore me!

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

These black riders...they dont have any weirdo mind control that only works on the vengeful, do they?

 

[Ben]

Well, I am not sure about mind control, but they have been known to dominate others with fear... so it wouldn't be a massive stretch in my opinion. Wait for a more qualified answer though, I would say. I'd think it'd only work on weaker people too.

 

[Creation]

I have thought about it, and much of you are right. I shall remake my character, but, I shall not start his biography until this roleplay fully develops, seeing as this will give me the perfect chance to think of a much better character, which will not affect anyone.

 

[Ben]

Well, I am glad to see you are open to critique, even though scrapping the character is an extreme response. I would ask this though: why would you bother to make a character that effects no one?

If you wanted to do that, you may as well write a novel who sits quietly in an empty cave and does nothing forever. The whole point of RP is interaction and affecting an overall story. We were not saying 'don't affect us', we were saying your character was just a little - be that as it may, unintentional - power-gamey.

 

[Creation]

I meant is as if I was a King of a city that never existed, but, trust me, I intend for my character to do as much.
