Braidless Baka

[i]Corin and Lorin hadn't planned on ending up in Gondolin... In fact they hadn't planned on ending up anywhere in particular. But they were two of the audience who were to hear the summons on behalf of King Turgon.[/i] [b]Corin:[/b] Morgoth? These people have decided on a bold quest indeed... *strokes his beard thoughtfully* [b]Lorin:[/b] Yes... It is true... Morgoth will not be felled with ease... [b]Corin:[/b] Are we up to such a challenge, brother? [b]Lorin:[/b] *joyfully* Aye! Certainly we are! [b]Corin:[/b] Perhaps there will also be gold and great riches after such a quest! [b]Lorin:[/b] *his eyes lighting up* Another truth! [i]With this thought happily in mind, the two dwarves made their way towards the audience hall. Several faces awaited them there, and Corin was a little annoyed at the fact that they seemed to be late-comers to this quest. Indeed, everyone seemed to be waiting for something. Realising all eyes had turned towards the two, Corin cleared his throat and spoke.[/i] [b]Corin:[/b] If you still have need of warriors to fight Morgoth, we dwarves are ready to assist. *pauses significantly* We know as well as anyone this threat is a grave and serious one... --- OOC: Just a note, Sarsy (Lorin) and I know each other IRL, so don't be too surprised if we seem to be dominating each other's characters... I dicussed this post with her before making it. ^_^

Alllllrighty then ^_^ Hope I'm not too late! ------- Name: Corin son of Gorin Age: 32 Race: Dwarf Description: Basically a short dude with a long brown beard, huge eyebrows, a big axe, and a fearsome battle-cry ^_^ (I wanted to be a female dwarf, but I was afraid the jokes would be too much for her ;) ) History including any motives or goals: Corin and his brother Lorin basically got sick of digging in caves and such for gold and so decided to find their fortune on the road, perhaps find their own strain of gold or whatever (treasure hungry as always) and stumbled across whatever happens in the prelude on their travels. Weapons: Basically his "happy-axe" ^_^ - No, no I'm kidding, basic axe going down here, nothing amazing. ----- Yeah, just as a sidenote, my friend Sarsy's signing up with a Lorin son of Gorin... Her chara's my younger brother ^_^ Taadaa! Dwarves a la Baka-chan!

Yeah I like the music too ^_^ I'm not much of a music buff, but I'm not tone-deaf (contrary to popular belief!!) But I thought the music video to "May it Be" was really bad. It was totally random images. Maybe there should have been a "story" to the music video too... Yes, I'm finished ranting now ^_^ Please ignore me and continue with your lives :P

Nah, I think the effects were waaaaay cool, but the movie itself was a complete let down. In fact, I would've liked to be able to "tell" that they weren't CG if ya know what I mean? Like, more cartoony. Sadly that was not to be. I've only seen it once and never wanna be pressured through it again. (Yes, the storyline sucked too... *pouts*) ^_^ but hey, CG movies still new! *pulls out CG banners* WOO for CG animation! :D

[i]Fli had been the student that stepped back, his throat constricting painfully. "This isn't good!" he thought frantically, watching the beasts approach. Closer and closer and closer until...[/i] [b]Karina:[/b] MOVE YOU IDIOTS! [i]Obediently everyone did just that - however nobody seemed to scatter in the same direction, making two small clusters of students and staff, and the creatures didn't pay any heed to this "obstacle", simply splitting into two half-sized groups.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] And he calls this a "Pop Quiz"?! [i]Desperately Fli looked about. What now? What the heck were they supposed to do now? The beasts continued to bear down on them, closer and closer, only a few hundred yards away by now. What to do... What to... Without thinking, Fli lunged towards the front of his group and threw his hands up in an arc, summoning the ice underfoot into a dome around his cluster of students. He held his hands outstretched for a few moments like a madman searching for God, his eyes painfully bright against his accomplishment. Then, he sank to his knees, pulling in frosty air with was burning down his throat with a raw force. The dome he had created wasn't thick enough to hold the beasts off for long... But maybe it would give them time to think of something... But he had only shielded one group, and they still had to think fast...[/i]

[i]Fli simply stared at Karina in disbelief.[/i] [b]Fli:[/b] *thinks to himself* [i]You really ARE insane...[/i] [i]He hugged his arms to his sides as he looked up, seeing the purple stone swaying impatiently above them. It zipped in several tight circles and bopped first Elsyan, then Geist, then Fli, Mischief and finally Karina across the head. Everyone else was spared from such treatment as the stone was convinced it finally had their attention. But it continued to hover impatiently as stragglers emerged from the icy waters.[/i] [b]Fli:[/b] *doubtfully stating the obvious* I vote we follow the purple thing once we have everyone... *glances at Mischief with mock irritation* Oh and by the way, *smiles slightly in teasing - not meaning the words* I hate you... Be cold with everyone else! [b]Mischief:[/b] *blinks slightly taken aback before seeing the teasing in it* Why? This way's more amusing! ^_^ [i]Fli rolled his eyes before waiting patiently for the stragglers to emerge.[/i]

[i]Fli smiled a little at Kinga's show of affection. Somehow he figured she understood the idea of a pack. In fact, he'd be surprised if she didn't. Then, after watching Geist jump in, Fli finally plucked up his own courage. He moved towards the edge of the pool. Looking down he could see five other specks of light circling and slowly growing smaller. He took a breath. "Now or never..." Closing his eyes he took another deep breath and simply stepped off the edge into the bottomless water, disappearing from sight with a small splash.[/i]

Okay, let's say this, how about if I PM you bra? Then we can figure out wat we're gonna do with no frodo? Then we can put it in recruitment or just go with the two of us... Whatever? I'm thinking about killing him or something... And I wanna have a female dwarf in it too! *grins* So I'll PM ya wit my ideas later tonite ^_^

[i]Fli nodded in reply to Ace's question lightly. Friends were a thing he'd be needing plenty of by the sounds of things, and orientation sounded like everyone was going to need each other. Fli was going to be running with another pack from now on. and to be perfectly honest... They didn't look like they were going to be all that bad. Then suddenly, a question popped into his mind. Or not so much a question, as a niggling thought. So following on from Geist's question, Fli spoke up.[/i] [b]Fli:[/b] *nervous* This whole thing isn't going to be easy is it...? *looks about at the others present* We're gonna hafta rely on each other a lot... [i]He swallowed hard, aware in himself that he wasn't questioning anyone's authority, or backing out at all. He just needed it said to him. In black and white. So he knew he wouldn't have to do anything alone. He wasn't a coward. Far from it. He was just tired of being alone...[/i]

Uhh call me impatient Yuyu, but it's been 5 days since you posted on this thread and I've been checking back everyday. Are you planning to go ahead with this? If not, lemme know... I hope you haven't abandoned it :( I'm looking forward to it.

[i]Solemnly, Fli listened to Bozel's words. He'd thought this place was just a school... You learn, you have a nine-til-five day... Etc etc etc... Obviously life wasn't going to be like that. Not that he really minded, he was up for the whole adventures side. Curious, he looked about. Everyone was glancing at each other, students moreso than teachers, but everyone was a little unsure. Quietly, Fli counted the stones. And again. And again. What now? Wasn't someone supposed to be doing something? Then, with trembling steps, Fli stepped forward, reaching up to take a glowing green stone in his hand, pulling it from the circle hovering in the air. "What now...?" he thought desperately, willing someone to join him. "What now...?"[/i]

[i]Fli watched Mike run off with a somewhat bemused expression. What was with everyone? Did he smell bad or something? Sighing, he shook his head, supposing it couldn't be helped. "Besides," he thought, looking around, "Aren't I supposed to be going somewhere?" He glanced about himself, looking perhaps for someone he had already seen or could identify. No cat-thing... No red-haired guy... He was sunk... A strange girl with a computer over there... Red-head talking with teacher over there... Nothing of any use to him... So, he set off, following the general trail of people, hoping at least some of them knew where they were going.[/i]

Umm... Okay, I'm good to go for this ^_^ Name: Rein Traumerin Age/Grade: 15 (I'm not sure how US grading systems work out... sorry) Personality: Quiet, almost to the point of being mute, but with a very mean/amusing sense of humour (basically, she's deathly quiet, but she isn't exactly cold...) Hobbies: Writing poetry / fiction - it's how she often expresses herself without having to converse too much with others Family: Lives with her mother, no siblings, father left them for another woman - kinda basic, but I'll work some sinister something out ^_^ Element: Fire Appearence: Red hair and green eyes, slops about in jeans and a large t-shirt whatever the weather - perhaps with a sweater if it's cold Nationality: I just wannid to point out that she's German, that is if there's no objections ^_^

[i]Flight wasn't xactly expecting to be squished by a blue cat-thing, and hit the floor with a second squeal in as many minutes. He looked up, his eyes wide in a comic type of surprise. But before he could even stand up, she had gone. He stood up and milled through the crowds, in an attempt to lose the guy whose foot he'd stood on. He'd be mad now since the cat-thing had landed on him too. The pool, that was where he was supposed to be. In awe he looked up above himself as he walked through the campus - following everyone else who was trying to find it, or evidently knew where it was. The buildings were huge, they seemed to scrape the sky. Nothing like what he was used to. He was still craning his neck in awe and wonderment, before being bowled over AGAIN, by a youth with red-hair. Flight pushed himself up on his elbows with an expaserated sigh.[/i] [b]Flight:[/b] What is it with people today? *good nauturedly* Don't you people want me here? *get slowly to his feet, brushing imaginary dust off his knees, while watching the red-haired youth, who seems a little surprised behind his sunglasses* *grumbles - still good natueredly* I've been on my butt twice in five minutes... This is not boding well... *hesitates* M'name's Flight... *pauses before adding his surname* Chessco... (OOC: Sith, I'm not gonna try and talk with Mike since I dunno what he's like, that's why I leave it there ^_^)

OOC: Wooo Jester you're funny! *hoots* IC: [i]Flight stood there, listening to the com, barely able to pick out the faint pinpricks in the distance that were supposed to be teachers. Flight was a little short too... So the 7foot lug in front of him didn't really help either. Listening to the exchange he half-wished he'd opted for Engineering class... Cage seemed like a funny guy. But electronics confused him at the best of times. And then as the com blew up out of the ground, several sudents screamed - even the boys - in surprise. Flight jumped back with a squeal as it ran right under his foot, showering upturned earth up his ankle. Someone shoved him hard as he stood on their foot, complaining at him. He straightened himself and cast his blue-eyed gaze around cautiously, trying to perhaps find someone who looked like they were going to friendly this term, and ignoring the person behind him who was still moaning. This was going to be... unusual... if nothing else...[/i]

hey, who would enroll and then ditch? That's a stupid thing if ya ask me. Heh, I dun ditch :P I'm curious as to how Frodo tries to get rid of the ring. And winning my curiosity is the perfect way to convince me to do something ^_^ *uses this as the perfect excuse to refresh her memory and watch the movie several times over* Heh heh, ain't excuses great?! :D

Didn't nick it from me did ya not? *snorts* I'll letcha off this time Sarsy... I'll just wring ur ear off talking about Harry Potter and LotR even MORE!! *cackles*

I'm still watching the thread! :D

Hmm sounding interesting ^_^ --- Name: Flight Chessco (Nickname: Fli - pronounced "fly" not "flea") Race: Human ^_^ Powers: A small degree of elemental control Age: 14 Height: 5 foot Weight: 7 stone Position: Student Others control: Yes for normal conversation - if it's an RP changing event use your own judgement - if in doubt PM me. Appearance: Short, blonde hair; innocent, blue eyes. Kinda puny and weedy really. The kind of kid that would get picked on first out of a crowd. Like he couldn't kick his way out of a wet paper bag. :( History: Flight isn't a particularly mysterious chaeacter, coming off a street-life in China, having been pushed out of a "gang" affair and simply seeking shelter. He finds Torneko and fits in comfortably, although is wary of anyone and everything. He's very trusting, but you firstly have to earn that trust. A quality that could be seen as niave. Since he's come straight out of a street-type lifestyle, he can be aggresive, despite his appearence, but not without cause. Classes: 1) Swimming 2) Survival 3) Street-fighting 4) Combo Magick --- Hope that's all I needed! ^_^ I'm looking forward to this! :D
