Hee hee!
 So Foley's other character decides that Saeryn is alright after all.

I know, I'm biased. I admit it freely. It's really quite bad. But it's all Garreth's fault. If he hadn't put down the Lady Eowyn, perhaps Quin wouldn't have reacted in the opposite direction.
Actually, I think I'm almost entirely unfit to write any male character.  Excepting Thornden, I guess. I need to get him back into the action.-- Foley

I was keeping track of the passions of the Hall for a while now (though I still can’t say that I feel like I know my way around, hehe
), and recently an idea for a character of my own came up. I hope you don't mind... Name Ledwyn Age/Gender/Race/Where from: 26, Female, Eorling, West Emnet (now just over 31) Appearance: Long light-brown plaited hair and grey eyes. Slightly taller than average. Frail. Prefers plain, practical clothing to delicate and ornamented ones. Slightly pale. During the Hard Winter, suffered from frostbite which left one of the fingers on her left hand permanently blackened. Personality/Bio: Ledwyn is swayed easily by another’s words, but if she has her own opinion it is a strong one. She is very sensitive and even a small remark can hurt her; she takes life too seriously in general. She rarely speaks openly about her thoughts and feelings, though they are always written plainly on her face. She lacks confidence in herself and acts self-consciously. She is quick to forgive but slow to forget. After her husband died a year ago in an accident Ledwyn lived with her younger brother. However, after her brother’s marriage life in the small house got rather crowded, and Ledwyn insisted on moving to the Scarburg Mead Hall with her young son because she decided that “it is all her fault”. She would not hear any arguments from her brother and sister-in-law. Update: Did not change much. Still takes life too seriously and is therefore vulnerable to teasing. With the influence of the other women, she became a bit more independent and a bit more able to hold her own, but is still very easily swayed by those people whom she respects. Overall, she became a tad less serious about everything and even a tad more "girly". However, as she began to befriend and trust the dwellers of the Hall and relax from the state of constant seriousness/concern, she started spending less time with Theolain, and to a degree started worrying less about what goes on with him. And her son: Name: Theolain Age/Gender/Race/Where from: 2, Male, Eorling, West Emnet (now 7) Appearance: In the middle of growth, clumsy and slightly chubby. The mop of dark blonde hair grows faster than it is cut. The eyes are grey, like Ledwyn’s. They are the only resemblance between mother and son. Update: all the chubbiness is gone; possibly even leaning towards the skinny side. He is average sized for his age, no remarkable physical traits. He is stronger than he looks, and is a good climber. Still has light-coloured hair that is longer than usual, and still does not resemble Ledwyn. Personality/Bio: His legs work faster than his mind. Update: took very long to begin trusting the local people, including children. The one exception is Harreld, who he had taken a liking to early on. Took a long time and a lot of... adventures for him to begin opening up to other children, and even longer for adults. But, as time passed, he started to spend less time with others, but because adults assumed he is just off playing with the other kids and the kids assumed he stayed with the adults, and nothing out of ordinary ever happened to him, no one gave and mind. Also, lately, he stopped being as open to everyone who he was on good terms with before. He became not exactly secretive but rather closed. Theolain died in the Hard Winter. ------ Linked ~*~ Pio

Yay, Galadriel! I am so glad that you decided to join us. I am looking forward eagerly to when you write your characters in.

Hi, G55! It's good to see you around here, too
 Hope you're going to stay with us here and "get into it" soon and enjoy posting here, of course.

Good call, Elempi.

Before - but the announcement was delayed to give us a chance to tell friends and family in person.
For those of you I'm not facebook friends with - I got engaged on Saturday.

Congratulations!!!
___ Thank you all for the welcome. I think I'll bring the characters in next morning game-time.

I think I just resurrected half of the names on the character's list.
Durelin, I did not put Tyrdda into the dance because I did not know where she was. I also realize that I was very unkind to a lot of people with male characters by sticking in NPC guys to be dancing. Well, just have your characters cut in, if you want, I guess. Why not?Wynflaed, Saeryn, and AEdre aren't dancing. Otherwise, I think I accounted for all the known girls in the post. That's kind of scary. Galadriel55, we will be so excited when you come and join us with your female character. Wow. Firefoot, I hope Scyld and Aldric are watching while Thornden dances with Rowenna.  (Now watch Elempi have Rowenna do something I don't expect...)

Does anyone have any thoughts about hos cutting in might be handled in Rohirric culture?
 Wink aside, serious question... |

Yeah, or wait until the current dance is done and then jump in before they can start dancing again.

Just checking. I'm not even sure if I'm thinking about it for Scyld or Aldric... it just seems like an interesting way to impose one of them upon Rowenna.

Yeah... I felt a little bad about interrupting you two (and with an NPC... kind of lame) when you just got started.
Also, Galadriel, so glad you're bringing in another female character. It seems nearly all our current ones have lost their writers (though I suppose that goes for a lot of the characters in general).

It just kind of happens...
 I feel like I never know what's going to happen in the posts I write for Scyld until I sit down to write them. Leof is much easier/more predictable.

Firefoot, I put a word on Scyld's lips and gave him some action. Let me know if anything needs altering.

This is quite entertaining, this discourse between Nydfara and Rowenna cracks me up. Keep up the good work.
Tomorrow, I may find time once again to write something. -- Foley

I have to think about Harreld before I can post in response to Lhuna's post.
As always, I'm intrigued, Firefoot, as to Scyld's next move.

I hope you feel guilty, Elempi - leaving a lovely girl standing all by herself on a dance floor! Do you have ANY idea how that feels? Awful, that's how. (I'm justing giving you a guilt trip...)
Lhuna, the post was superb. Her feelings and reactions are very realistic and believable. -- Foley

Thanks, Foley. Somehow something tells me I'd been in that kind of situation before.
Elempi, this is it. I don't think I'm ready for this conversation (needless to say, Ginna thinks the complete opposite).

Looks like Scyld's got a little bit of a Gollum moment going on.

Whatever could you mean, Lhuna?
I'm going to have to take another day before I post for Harreld, but I think I can get something up for Rowenna "post haste".

I'd've written more, only I didn't want to put words into Leof's mouth. I have an idea of where this might go, Firefoot, so hopefully we can make it exciting and not peter out...
Durelin and Legate, what of Tyrdda and Hilderinc? -- Foley

Firefoot, just when I think maybe I've made things a bit hard for you, you raise things to an even higher level. Hats off and a bow. Very impressed.
And I got a kick out of Léof's remembering. Have writers group tonight - will post when I get a chance. |
