I think it is fine guys,
But I'm not sure what Jordan thinks, I think he'll be fine too.
We should be starting soon as well, but we still bed a few more people.
I'll have a chat to him.
There is no such thing as a stranger. Only friends we haven't met yet.

Hi, did ask JustToby if I could be an Orc or not a few days ago, as I've not seen a reply I'm just going to go for it before the SB kicks off. Going for something like Gothmog from Return here.

Name: Mudruk
Gender: Male
Age: 44 (Not sure how long an Orc can live, but I figure most would be dead by that age anyway)
Race: Orc
History: Mudruk has risen to a position of prominence among the Orcs through a combination of scheming, backstabbing and plain brute force. Born in Minas Morgul, Murduk quickly established himself as dominant among the Orcs there, and has repeatedly crushed attempts to overthrow him as he has risen through the ranks in the armies of 'the evil guy'. Recently appointed as general, Mudruk is a skilled and cunning leader, as well as a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
Appearance: Mudruk is tall even for an Orc, at around six foot six, and his strength has allowed him to rise quickly in the pecking order. He has the typical mottled brown skin of an Orc, with the usual scarring of a member of such a warlike race. Most prominent among these is a heavy white line across his throat, testament to a past attempt on his life.
Role: General for 'the evil guy'.
Personality: Mudruk has found the perfect balance of focus on the task at hand and watching his own back. Attempts on his life from within the ranks are common, but Mudruk has learned to be cautious even in the thick of battle. Strong and imposing, he is always dominant in any argument.
Abilities: Mudruk is a skilled fighter as well as an exceptional tactician. However, he is sceptical and rarely trusts the information given to him. Being an Orc, Mudruk also tends towards violence as a way to solve disagreements, earning little love from his men.
Up for love: Do I really have to answer?
Other: Not really, I'll make it up as I go along :?

Hi crow,
That's fine, but I don't know where you asked me?

After reading Aryn's character profile, I'm out. This storybook's too complicated for me now. I don't know how it works. XD

Hi, yeah sorry JustToby, I put a note on your wall as I simply could not remember where the PM button was. I'm sure there used to be one on everyone's profile but I couldn't see it. Thanks anyway though.

Sorry, guys... I've kind of got a lot on my plate between other storybooks and real life... since this one hasn't started yet, I'm backing out on this one.

Plus I realized that LOTR Elf culture is really complicated. XD

Are there accomplice spots left?


Name: Belen
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Race, Eg. Hobbit, elf, wizard, human, dwarf: Human
History: Belen is the daughter of an accomplished captain from Gondor. She grew up hearing tales of his military escapades, which fueled her warrior spirit. He often promised to train her as a cadet, but her mother, a noble, feared for her family's loss of dignity, and she forbade it. Belen, who had never gotten along with her mother, taught herself to fight, and would show off for her sisters. The summer after she turned sixteen, when she and her family were traveling to their summer home, they were attacked by orcs, and her parents and sisters were killed. Belen took her father's weapons and armor and escaped into the forest. She spent the next six years traveling, and would often visit the forest of the elves. According to a family rumor, Belen has royal blood, but no one knows whether the rumor is true.
Appearance: Belen is on the shorter side, and slim, but strong. She has dark, curly hair, which she ties back in a ponytail, and bright amber eyes. She wears her late father's armor, altered to fit her form, along with with the pants, tunic and boots of a soldier. A large white scar runs up her left forearm; when she's not wearing her leather gloves, it's often the first thing people ask about, but she changes the story every time she tells it.
Role: Accomplice
Personality: Belen has a fiery spirit, but she often doesn't let it show. She is secretive and naturally distrusting, and takes a long time to make friends. She has a fierce sense of loyalty, and values ethics above all else. She is very brave, almost to the point of stupidity, and is not afraid to try dangerous things.
Abilities (Strengths and Weaknesses): Belen is a little too small to be effective with a broadsword, but she is very good with smaller swords and close-range knife fighting. She also carries a longbow, and she learned to shoot from an elf. She has a very fast reaction time, and what she lacks in strength, she makes up for with speed. Her bravery gets her into trouble sometimes, though, and her diplomatic skills are limited.
Up for love: Yes
