The Hobbit/LOTR: Another Age of Evil Beginnings { Elven & Angel }

The dwarves had been caught completely off guard by the attack of the dragon. They had been safe and secure in their stronghold in Erebor for so many years, they had almost become disillusioned with the rest of the world, thinking they were almost untouchable. But even with all their warriors and weapons, they could not stand against the might of a Firedrake of the North. Smaug decimated any attack they tried to put forth to protect their homeland, and the King's treasure horde.

Seeing that it was hopeless to keep fighting, and only lose more lives, Thorin, the young dwarf prince, pulled his grandfather Thror to safety before he could dive into the swirling mass of treasure after the Arkenstone which he had lost grip on, and called the retreat. As the dwarves ran out of the smoking remains of the once grand city of Erebor, Thorin looked up to see the host of elves appearing on the crest of the hill.

Thranduil stopped as they reached the hill that overlooked the valley which Erebor lay in, and was taken completely by surprise at what he saw. He had long suspected the dwarves' greed would draw one, or more, of the dragons back down from their lairs in the North (and many times had tried to warn the great King Thror of such an occurence, but he would take no heed of the Elvenking's words) ; but he had not counted on it being so soon. They were unprepared, they could not take on a dragon with the few infantry that accompanied him now. He could not risk the lives of his subjects for such a futile endeavour; they would surely all be killed. And he had many other worries on his mind, he could not leave his niece and son to rule a kingdom on their own if he were to fall in battle now, they were too young, not ready. So when the dwarf prince spotted them and frantically raised his arms into the air, crying out in desperation. "HELP US!!!" the Elvenking could make no other decision but to turn back, and order his forces to draw back to the ailing Greenwood.

Overall Personality:
(huge paragraphs oops sorry-have a basic breakdown in case you don't feel like reading the whole thing xD)
Sarcastic | Untrusting | Loyal | Sharp-tongued/snappy | Compassionate | Sensitive

Mel is a witty, fairly sharp tongued and often sarcastic individual, she is wary of strangers and will take quite some time to trust most she meets, though those who have a child-like innocence about them seem to find her trust a lot easier. However her tough exterior does hide a soft and loving side deep down. To her family and close friends she is devoted and gentle, and would do anything for them. Losing someone that she cares deeply for affects her more than most perhaps, and it would take her a good few centuries on most accounts to reach the point where she can accept it fully and "move on" from it as well as she is capable. Indeed she still feels melancholy at thoughts of her passed relatives but can push it aside if the situation calls for it. Her sense of duty is unparalleled to most, and many a Mirkwood soldier who has served under her command has been known to describe Mel as "hard headed and as determined and foul-tempered as a Warg keeping hold of the last scrap of meat at mealtime". Once she has a job to do, she will not abandon it for any cause, no matter the consequences, until the task is completed.

Mel is extremely wary of dragons and would sooner attempt to kill one than converse with it, regardless of whether it approached her in a friendly manner or not. She has seen the ruin and death that dragons can bring, and indeed she will never forgive the beasts for tearing apart her family, to ask her to befriend one will be met with only contempt, bitterness and hate on her end. Other than dragons, there is very little that sparks enough fear in her to reduce her to a blubbering mess, as Mel is a particularly tenacious individual which is to be expected from someone who has grown up in a forest which has been steadily taken over by darkness and evil. Having to slay and fight with nests crawling with extremely large spiders on a daily basis means it's not exactly a "good idea" for lack of a better way to phrase it, to be afraid of them. However, anything larger than those spiders which she has experienced in Mirkwood is highly likely to leave her rather bemused and more than slightly concerned, as she has never confronted any arachnid of a larger size before in her life. In regards to how she responds to fear, even when Mel is scared to death she is not the type of individual to stand there literally quaking in her boots, whimpering and bawling. Instead she typically takes on the "rabbit in the headlights" kind of approach and tends to completely freeze up, totally unsure of whether to run away or fight whatever puts her in that position.

While she is by no means a "damsel in distress", nor does she necessarily act like a "spoilt princess", however she does occasionally act at rather 'high and mighty' as some may describe it, because of her well-off upbringing. Mel isn't a tantrum thrower by any stretch of the imagination, but she does at times react to things which displease her by pouting and/or sulking and then proceeding to make some sort of snide comment on the matter. Snide comments and sharp remarks are something Mel is never short of, which may come as a shock to some as they would expect someone of her upbringing to be "polite and lady-like", though she is far from it. She is not inherently rude all the time, and due to countless lessons from her aunt and uncle in her younger years she is perfectly capable of acting in a civil manner to form treaties, alliances and other such things, and is indeed even rather capable of sitting in on many political matters and being rather persuasive towards her own or her kingdom's need and win the opposing party over - even if it bores her to death! She does not take lightly to insults towards either herself or her family or kingdom, and unfortunately it doesn't take much to get her riled up. Mel is not unknown to take a swing or two at someone who overstepped their mark with her, though for the most part she tries her best to keep herself controlled and will usually just respond in turn with some other cutting remark towards the person who started the whole affair.

They got all upset cause I gave Thrandy a brother and he "didn't have any siblings!!! many angry faces" XD Um, dude...chill? Like, he either dies or becomes a very minor side character that I practically never use anyway so calm down sheesh :P

The Hobbit/LOTR: Another Age of Evil Beginnings { Elven & Angel }

Alright, cool. Just thought I'd check, I've had people get really really aggressive with me about it before O__o (like, seriously man? It wasn't even that out of character or anything! xD)

The Hobbit/LOTR: Another Age of Evil Beginnings { Elven & Angel }

Cool, I'll work on CSs tonight <3 How strict are you in terms of canon stuff, what I mean is are you one of those people that absolutely hate OCs that are related to canon characters, or does it not bother you? XD My main OC that I usually use in Tolkien RPs is Thranduil's niece, that's why I ask :P

Melanie Stryder

Melanie shrugged a little and quickly busied herself with piling her plate full of food. She must have misheard someone, she could have sworn someone had said something about a war long ago. Oh well. She took a bite out of a piece of bacon and took her time with chewing as she fished her schedule out of her pocket, careful not to disturb the snake that was curled up there.

"Hmm...looks like I've got Charms, extra Potions and Herbology-looks like they're together as one lesson now or something-yes!" the young witch couldn't help herself and did a triumphant air punch as the words scrawled onto the parchment told her she would have an extra lesson of her favorite subject. It didn't last all that long though, because the next lessons she read out made Melanie groan loudly, her blonde curls bouncing up and down as she slumped her head forward dramatically. "Ughh!! And Divination and Transfiguration, man I wish I could drop those!"

Astaria: General Fantasy RP

"I wouldn't hesitate to put an arrow through him if it came to it, I assure you." the Elf muttered, shifting her weight from foot to foot restlessly as her gaze flicked from Thranok to the lizard man. He certainly was strange...she had to confess she hadn't ever seen a creature like that before in her life. Perhaps they weren't all that 'at home' in forests and woodlands, that might explain it.

Meliya's gaze travelled up and down the dragonborn as her keen eyes studied him closely, the grade of his armor and the kind of weapon he carried was her best chance at trying to decipher who, or what, he was. "W-Well..." though she tried, as she spoke again she was unable to keep the nervous stutter from her voice. "...I mean, what the hell is he, exactly?! Looks like a giant, bipedal lizard or something...seems intelligent enough though, no offense meant." she added quickly in the dragonborn's direction. He was intimidating enough looking as it was, and she had no doubt he probably would have the strength advantage if it came to blow by blow, too. "Since he clearly knows how to wear armor and carry a weapon...Might make it difficult to find lodgings though, if we took him with." she pointed out. "People might be afraid of him and rather run away than take the chance with a bipedal reptile."

☆Looking for a partners!☆

@AristaI'm interested in Harry Potter, possibly ^^ Or maybe the Dragon shifter x Dragon shifter, depending on what your plot idea(s) are for it :D
You can PM me if you'd rather discuss further or something :3

Light in the Darkness (Ryu and Elvenqueen)

Yeah, the second option is probably the most likely to happen given their backstory/circumstances XD That works :P

Light in the Darkness (Ryu and Elvenqueen)

Not a problem! ^^ So, how did you want to start them off, scenario wise? ouo
