About Me








Name: Ben
Username: The one and only. Dare I say?
Age: 30
Ethnicity: Mixed
Sex: Male
Religion: Christian (Nondenominational)
Languages: English, Japanese (Semi-fluent & learning), I also know some Scots Gaelic, Quenyan (Elvish), and Miccosukee (My tribal tongue)
Relationship Status: Single (Though generally unavailable unless I find I really enjoy someone).






Current Projects/Freelance work

  • I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
  • I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
  • I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.




Interests (Includes but is not limited to)

  • Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
  • Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
  • Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
  • History (Military History is my specialty)
  • Zoology
  • Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
  • Voice Acting/Singing
  • Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
  • Weaponry of all kinds
  • Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
  • Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
  • Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
  • Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
  • There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P




Roleplay F.A.Q.

  • Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
  • Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
  • I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
  • I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
  • I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!

I AM SO IN AND I AM SO EXCITED HOLY SHIT.

Dwarfs or Lizardmen for me.
@Dealdric Forgive me if I overstep my bounds, but I think you might have misconstrued what the RP is aiming for. Certainly an Elf is fine, in and of itself. However, the main gist of the RP is to gather people from the different cultures of middle earth and put them together in order to find a solution to this new problem threatening Arda.

Your character seems to be outside the norm in a way Tom Bombadil is, which is quite a leap. The RP is for gaining representatives of the races, rather than those who vastly deviate from them. That, and there is very little history to him. You've explained little of his characteristics. Not to mention the spelling errors, and this is an advanced roleplay.

I love that you've got enthusiasm, and at the end of the day it's not my call. But the Co-GM's seem to be trying to tell you that we're looking for people in the universe who work with the lore, rather than the game-breaking wanderer with no known past, even out of character that is an exception to the lore.
Now he found himself thinking about trying to jump at the ugly creature's neck and gut the hell out of it, but again this thought was interrupted by a roar. A were-roar. How cute!

Mostly this

Welp, I read up on everything. Good job, y'all. Love the posts. You didn't godmod, you did only a bit to the enemy, but enough to where it's believable. I'll post tomorrow or the next day. I'd post now, but after reading it all with my sleep addled brain, it's slipping from my head once more lel.
We can look into the lore for a second when it comes to spellcasters.

LOTR is known for being a low fantasy setting. Any magic that is used, if at all, is usually subtle and not overly showy. Most magic users are High ranking Elves or Maiar like the Wizards. However, we do know that mortals can know sorcerous arts somewhat, because in the Hobbit, no one batted an eye or dispelled the notion that the "Necromancer" could be anything more than a man (and I am talking book lore, here). Gandalf also saying he was no "conjurer of cheap tricks" meant that there were conjurers, they were just at a lower tier than Gandalf and were probably only able to control enough magic to make simple illusions or fanciful lights. That and, of course, the Dwarves and Elves making magic gateways and weapons.

If there was to be a spellcaster, they'd be pretty low class and probably a hermit or a delver of ancient lore. Most likely an Elf, or a very strange human.
@IcePezzAs long as I know people are working on it, take your time. I don't mind if it takes a few days :)

All I really expect from my players is people trying their best.
As long as everyone has posted this round except me, don't worry on time limits. I'll get a post in by Friday, if not before. Then the timer will reset :)

But woe to any who have not posted yet.
@Tangletail Dude, you've gotta get people's names and races right lol. I love how you're cracking down on getting people's species right and now it's names.
Don't worry, as long as you keep at it and try, there won't be any problems from us GM's. I'll be posting soonish, myself.

Speaking of GM's.
@MiddleEarthRoze It's no hurry, just wondering when a post can be set off on a voyage to the undying lands.
@GraviloquenceWondering what your status is, buddeh. You told me early May, so I'm just curious (time flies amirite? Don't worry. I let things slip too a lot, lol). I don't mind if you haven't started your charrie, I'm just curious on when you'll be free to.
Other than Lady T, there has been a distinct lack of activity. Now I know people are/were under extenuating circumstances, like Roze and Mort. However, I will require posts soonish please. Hopefully by the end of the week or before the next, if at all possible.
