Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

So how does Radagast use animals to send messages back and forth? Maybe my character has some kind of partial telepathy to convey his meaning and intentions? And in the hobbit the spiders could speak...

Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

@MiddleEarthRoze ok ok wait, I got it. Please bare with me.

I'm a spawn of Ungoliant, a pure spider that was given birth after she retreated to Nan Dungortheb on her last years. Though it was smaller than it's brethren, it was fast and had the capability to jump up to 40 times it's own body length. After the War of Wrath ended, my character diverted from the other spawns of Ungoliant and explored middle earth while killing as many orcs and goblin and anyone who served under Morgoth as he could. At year 1000 TA, my spider returned to Mirkwood to rejoin it's companions, children of Shelob and whatnot second hand filth. There it learned of the dark shadow, "the necromancer" who had taken residence in Dol Guldur. Going to verify it itself, it was met by a creeping shadow moving just out of sight. Going right into attack, it was not able to even touch him. As the ghosts and wraiths started to emerge, it swiftly made it's escape by jumping out of the ruins. As it now considered itself the ruler of the spiders of the forest, it just couldn't allow another power to contest its territory. It enlisted the help of the other spiders to attack the ruins but eventually they failed and more than a dozen spiders perished. News reached him ,at that time, of the wizards who had arrived in Middle-Earth. The following years he spent his days trying to figure out a way to beating the looming shadow. Eventually he settled on putting sentry spiders on the forest surrounding the ruins, effectively isolating it. Hundreds of years later Radagast arrived in Mirkwood where the wizard tried to make contact with the animals of that place. Not soon after he was approached by the spawn of Ungoliant. There it warned him of the dark shadow that resigned over the ruins while also proclaiming his hate for Morgoth and it's forces, both things were the truth. Doing this he also expressed his wish to help the wizards in order to defeat all the remnant forces of Morgoth that still resigned in Middle-Earth like parasitic worms. After that he stayed in service of the wizard for a couple more hundred years until the shadow inside the ruins was revealed to be Sauron. Still harboring resentment on the betrayal of Morgoth towards his mother, he attempted to convince the other spiders, the children of Shelob, to attack the shadow that resided within the ruins knowing that it was Sauron but none would follow. Enraged he left the forest, not before killing a few of the other spiders. A year later, in TA 2851, Radagast told him of the plan to dispatch multiple creatures in order to search the Gladden Fields. For this the wizard gave him the power of transformation. Specifically, now it could transform itself into a large 4 eyed raven. 350 cm wingspan and 179 cm length and the ability to fly at speeds up to 400 km/h. The transformation couldn't suppress the poison that formed on his body and was channeled through its pincers so now it was channeled through its talons.

OK, now is this good? Please...

@Ruby Yup done, but to add one more thing.

Although force users are gone, there are still future soon to be born or babies that are force sensitive. I believe there are jobs on dealing with these scenarios. And for the love of god i can't remember well so correct me if I'm wrong but, there was a holocron that had details on names of future force users and their location, namely babies and children with force affinity. Surely there are other methods to locate them.

Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

Can I be a descendant of Ungord. So one of her other descendants laid eggs on an elf but only one survived. A creature with the shape of an elf with high intelligence but the limbs and characteristics of a spider was born. A hunger for consuming knowledge with its favorite food being elves.

Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

"A disagreement with Ungoliant led to her attacking him, and Morgoth gave out a great cry that roused the Balrogs from their slumber. In a tempest of fire, the Balrogs drove Ungoliant away and prepared to pursue her. However, they were halted by Morgoth and returned to Angband, which shortly thereafter was constructed anew."

The most exciting and riddled filled bit of information in all the series.

DI

Name: DI

Age: 43

Race/species: Human

Gender: Male

Force Sensitive: No

Homeworld: -

Appearance

Armor appearance and Equipment:
Heavy Troopers wear more durable armor than regular stormtroopers, which provides them a limited level of protection against lightsabers. The armor is completely self-contained and comes with its own air supply, allowing them to operate in most hostile environments. The joints of the armor have integrated servos which give Heavy Troopers artificially increased strength and speed. Since that mission, all the coloration in his was black. You can tell he is battle-forged just by looking at his armor suit, all the years of fighting engraved on it. It was slightly modified visually to be all black, as well as getting a new helmet to differentiate it from the common trooper uniform.

Appearance:
2 stripes of dark grey hair cut very short, line his head in the middle, distanced symmetrically, starting from the back of his head forward. His eyes are sharp, emotionless and have a dark grey color. He has a craggy face with strong jaws and a short trimmed circle beard. A light-saber scar is visible ranging from his left eye to beyond his left ear, a little into the back of his head.

Major Skills:
Hand to hand combat
Torture
Piloting small vessels

Primary Equipment:
Crushgaunts
Tenloss DXR-6 disruptor rifle for assassinations
E-19 blaster rifle for combat
Cortosis-Weave Vibroblade at all times
Different Grenades for specific missions

History

He was brought in to serve the Empire when he was 9 years old. His training was hard and rigorous, testing his mental and physical capabilities to the limit. With hard training and good genetics his body muscle grew exponentially, also achieving a height of 178 cm at age 15. Besides him being in peak physical condition, he was also noted for quick thinking, exemplary show of loyalty towards higher ups and putting his mission above all. Even in team trials or versus matches in the academy, he never even took a second glance at his fallen comrades, he was always in the vanguard, being the first to charge and bait the enemies to focus him giving his comrades a chance to kill. In other times he charged forward, getting in close while his teammates covered him, giving him a chance to take things to close quarters where he had the advantage. Noting all these traits they decided to list him as a potential candidate on being an Imperial Heavy Trooper in the Stormtrooper Corps. So he was taken aside from the other cadets and trained separately with a selected other group of individuals. This training was harsher and unforgiving. By the end of all that, only he and a few others were given the honor of serving the Empire as a full fledged Imperial Heavy Trooper.

After leaving the academy he was sent on different missions throughout different contested worlds. He was charged with dealing against large and/or difficult to kill enemies. In many of those worlds he encountered "Jedi" in battle. While most if not every single Jedi was eradicated, their students still roamed about, practicing in hiding. He mostly used cheap tactics to get the upper hand, using surprise as a battle winning factors. That and the fact that he had the help of multiple squadrons under his command, backing him up while he fought in the front lines. In one particular mission he was sent to eradicate a group of Jedis hiding in an uninhabited densely forested planet. It was briefed that they were training young future force users and Di's mission along with 9 other Imperial Heavy Troopers was to engage them, distracting them while another group acquired the younglings. If this mission failed then they had orders to kill the younglings, "better than being in the enemies hands" as they put it. As he was fighting, the Jedi knocked his helmet off and nearly missed killing him, instead only injuring his left eye and ear, both organs lost, scarred to this day. Luckily the Jedi was forced to retreat as more back up arrived and the fire power became too much for the force user to deflect or dodge. Di was taken back by a medic and patched up, made aware that his left eye and hearing were lost. After taking just a few moments to regain his balance, he got his electrostaff and went to check on the younglings while the Jedis were distracted, deciding that it was the best course of action taking into consideration his wounds. When he approached the residence where the younglings were supposed to be, he saw multiple dead bodies, dozens of the Empire's forces laying motionless on the ground and a clocked figure limping in the distance, heading towards a hole in the ground, surely towards where the younglings were hidden.

Di activated a timed grenade, throwing it to explode a few feet before hitting the target. As the grenade flew towards the target, just as he expected, the Jedi used the force to stop it mid air. No sooner than it stopped, the grenade exploded knocking the clocked figure back, slamming it through a tree. It turned out to be a young girl as Di approached her unconscious body and took a closer look at her features. He then turned his head towards the hole, whimpers could be heard coming from inside it and just as he was about to approach it he was suddenly lifted up then abruptly slammed down, creaks on the ground formed around his body at the place of impact. If it wasn't for his extra hardened armor and physical enhancements, he would have certainly blacked out if not worst, but none the less Di pretended to be unconscious. As the Jedi shifted his attention from him to the other unconscious force user, Di quietly retrieved a grenade and threw it in the underground hideout. The children quickly reacted to it and the Jedi, sensing the danger, used his force powers to quickly lift it up and away from the younglings. Di used his opportunity and got up in a flash, his electrostaff in his hand, hitting the Jedi in the sheen, making him lose focus, the grenade falling again into the hideout. With barely enough time to react, Di raised his electrostaff to defend against the lightsaber attack, as soon as they made contact the lightsaber short-circuited. Without the saber even shutting off completely, the Jedi kicked the trooper hard in the stomach, sending him flying off the ground tens of meters away until it reduced to a slide then a stop, the trooper laying there, unable to move. When the Jedi's attention finally returned to the hideout and the grenade danger, it was already too late.

The last things he heard were screams then an explosion, the hideout shortly collapsing afterward, burying the horrific tragedy that just occurred. Di could hear the explosion, the anger fueled scream then silence... He tried to call for back up but the comm device wasn't functioning. Suddenly all the trees around him were blown aside, leveling the area where he was standing, also knocking him further back, slamming him towards a cut trunk in a seating position, his head and back leaning on the trunk. He could barely keep track of what was happening at this point, too exhausted and wounded. The pain was hard to NOT keep track off as he could feel every inch of his body aching and throbbing as blood trickled out from his armor suit. A force lifted his body, a force choke focused on his throat, blocking his respiratory system and gradually causing the trooper's vision to fade. Well, he fulfilled the mission.. He couldn't help but meekly smile at the fact that his last thoughts were about the mission, the greatness of the Empire. NO, why couldn't he have something for himself? Something personal to remember on his dying moment..ANYTHING. Anger sparked inside him at the realization of the empty life that he had. If only he had made different choices.. Too late now, this was where the journey ended for ID-2076..or so he thought. As his body was levitating towards the angry Jedi with the lightsaber in hand, Troopers approached from the woods, their white silhouettes could be seen running towards the open area they were in. As it completely faded to black, Di saw shots fired towards the Jedi's back, coming from all side.

He woke up in the medical chambers aboard the star ship from which he embarked from at the start of the mission. He saw the medical droid looking through his health data, finally determining that he was fit enough to presume daily life without medical assistance it approached the drawer, picked up and presented his off-duty cloths to him. It also added :"How is your left eye and ear functioning?". Surprised by this at first, Di quickly remembered what had happened and of the Medic Trooper informing him of how the left eye and ear were beyond repair. The droid briefly explained that they were replaced by enhanced cybernetic replicas of the original also adding that the higher ups had requested him to present himself before them with a detailed verbal report of the mission as soon as he was to wake up. After dressing the trooper went on to present his report. First he was congratulated on the successful mission. Every force user on that planet was eradicated. As Di explained the details he was cut off mid sentence saying that there was no female Jedi on that planet. When the trooper was about to insist otherwise, his superior added that multiple scouting groups were dispatched to search the area for any survivors and no one had left the planet either. This was passed as mild confusion after being slammed into the ground.. although that happened after* he saw her... Di finished explaining the mission details then left with a salute. A few days later he got a promotion to Company Leader in light of the brilliant decision making and overall micro-management of his squads.

A few years later the news arrived. Like a hammer which missed the center point of the nail causing it to twist and break, came the news of the Emperor's demise. Lord Vader seemingly perished alongside him. This meant a lot of things. For one, there was a power gap which everyone would be clawing through each-other to fill. He had to make his move. But before that could happen, a few weeks later a self proclaimed warlord asked for Di to join his ranks. This "Warlord" had already amassed a large number of military forces, meaning that once joining him, Di and his company would melt right into it. No, he needed to find a less powerful one, someone he could use and eventually take over. With this in mind he refused, something which marked his fall. Not even a few days later, Di found himself on a remote planet lying on a swamp half dead, surely presumed fully dead by his Company. The capsule on which he used to reach the planet lay broken and heavily damaged a few feet away. He was out of the game without even starting it. Heavy and aching all over as he was he made his way through the flora. It must've been poison, he thought to himself and as to confirm it, after removing one glove he noticed black veins pulsing on his hands. If it wasn't for the wide variety of drugs that he usually took on a regular basis he could have as well been dead, his body dumped in the swamp of some faraway planet. This planet however, seemed to belong to the Hutt, the fact being made apparent by the guards standing outside a fortification, asking on Di's business with the Hutts. Long story short he was taken in by them, fixed and placed under their debt. He worked the good time of a year as a bounty hunter to pay it back. Even after the debt was payed he still continued to work for them. The pay was good, his slug bosses were feared throughout the galaxy, and being part of that wasn't half bad. His main job applications were for hunting remnant force users. At this time though, common high reward missions will suffice.

Star Wars: Empire Asunder

ID-2076

Stormtrooper classification: Imperial Heavy Trooper

Designation: ID-2076

Military Ranking: Platoon Leader that compromised of 201 units.
Nickname: Di

Race/species: Human

Planetary Origin: -

Gender: Male

Armor appearance:
Heavy Troopers wear more durable armor than regular stormtroopers, which provides them a limited level of protection against lightsabers.

It was slightly modified visually, as well as getting a new helmet to differentiate it from the common trooper uniform. He has also added a lot of tricks and "cantrips" up his sleeve after going the illegal road.

Personality:
Easygoing and sociable when off-duty, ruthless and a nightmare while wearing the uniform. After becoming a bounty hunter, he became more and more violent. Killing someone just because they were standing there at the moment...and he felt the need to drive a blade through someone's skull. He later went on to form his own group of space pirates, mostly focusing on certain imperial cargo ships. Besides taking a considerable part of the cargo, he also got the payment from the Rebels, or The Republic, whatever it was called nowadays. 2 skulls in one blade. He doesn't tolerate insubordination, it's the complete other extreme. He loathes it to the bone, that being the bone of "traitors" into which he carves different things. And you can't get to the bone without gnawing through the flesh. As it is already apparent, torture became one of his main things during his work.

Appearance:

@Sini And just wanted to add that I loved Taboo. One of the best shows this year.
Mr. James Delaney

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Mr Allen J Well my point is that you can play a genius without being one yourself. Now to actually show* your genius skills in RP is just show off. I mean seriously, why would you even bother going into detail about how you do stuff. What matters is the story and player interaction not naming all the subtracts and different substances you mix to form the reaction while writing the equation on the side. I mean no one cares for that, so who are you doing it for? Maybe it adds to the immersion if you go into detail but personally, I find it pointless.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Buddha
You don't actually have to be a genius to play a genius lol. Unless you were only referring to the intellectual aspect of the word or only having in mind scientists and such, a good hand to hand combat fighter could be called a genius based on his extraordinary skills on the field. Now you don't have to know shit on hand to hand combat in order to RP as a genius on the field. That extends to magick-using characters that are called geniuses of that particular field of magick.

To bypass this barrier, let's see an example.
You are a hunter. You are tracking some bandits that ran away through the forest.
Instead of researching for tracking methods online, you could just say :"My character uses his tracking skills to scan the area for any clues"
You don't have to be highly intellectual in order to play a genius.
