Ermithren
TITLE:
Berion o Herionath Nos Earendil, Hirdan a Ganneldan (Protector of Earendil's line, Master Smith and Instrument Maker)
DESCRIPTION:
Contradiction.
This face is smooth and unmarred, and glowing with the power of youth coming into full bloom; yet, the eyes, of a grey colour so dark that it courts black, are turbulent pools unlike the shallow depths of the inexperienced. They are deep basins wherein lie visions of ages past and things better left unspoken.
The face is pale, yet the hair is a deep black; the features straight and sharp, yet movement lithe and flowing.
He is beautiful.
His clothing is simple and unadorned, colours just green and grey, although there is an emblem on his breast, depicting a silver dove on a green field within a silver border, and upon his right index finger rests a slender ring of gold. He is wearing a dark green, woolen cloak that hangs almost to the top of his boots, concealing most of his other garments. At the moment, the hood is up, casting most of his face in shadow.
PERSONA:
Ermithren means "The grey one", and that is a remarkably apt name for him. Very slow to trust, especially Hildor or Gonnhirrim, but even Quendi, he is someone that shows unwavering support and trust once those rare commodities have been given, no matter what happens next. He trusts and supports persons, rather than ideology or ideas, although those concepts play a big part in the ultimate decision whether to allow someone into his inner circle.
He is known for his fascination with sound, any sound, and he will find a way to produce it when he is at ease; the other thing that makes him stand out is the mastery of the blade - a rare greatsword - and his single-mindedness when wielding it - a devotion that is seen in all his crafts and everything he does.
He is married to Luth, whom he calls Tirn for some reason, and they have been for millennia. She works in the library, still devoted to study after all those years. Ermithren has the ability to choose a direction, and when he looks that way, he is sure he is watching his Tirn, even if she is miles away. No doubt she would look up at that very moment.
Both Ermithren and Luth absolutely adore children and vow that the birth of a child is the greatest magic on the face of Arda.
Elinnor, Hirnethril and Saeleth in the Valley, is his sister.

HISTORY:
Celugelir and Gwanurthel the fair were born ere the ages of the Sun and the Moon came to be, and the Noldor had not yet returned. The first was a Master Smith and builder of renown, knowing of stone and wood and how to shape them for use, the second a singer and a healer with a voice so sweet it aided the wounded in healing.
They dwelt in the forest of Nivrim by the Twilight Meres when only the stars lit them. After the Dagor-nuin-Giliath, when the surviving grace of Laurelin and Telperion graced the skies, they moved to Menegroth where Celugelir's skill was needed; and a daughter was born to them just 82 years into the First Age: Elinnor.
Soon after that, Finrod, together with the Gonnhirrim of Belegost, started to carve out halls to rival the splendour of Menegroth. This was a bold plan that spoke to Celugelir's heart, yet his departure was stayed for a while for the joy of raising their daughter in the harmony of a full family. Elinnor was gifted, and fascinated by the healing arts, and studied vigorously from a very young age ere the first tomes on the subject were written.
Eighteen years later, her Brother Ermithren, the grey one, was born. His first years passed too quickly, and soon his parents wished to teach him the essentials of their crafts, working with stone and the fleeting joy of song, and although the Hirdan's work always fascinated Ermithren, he soon abandoned formal training in music. In years after, though, he would often sing during other work which permitted him to do so. For the healing arts he showed no special interest or aptitude.
Centuries passed, though not without hardship as Glaurung ravaged Beleriand, but by the time Elinnor pursued her own vocation, Ermithren and Celugelir moved to the Citadel beneath High Faroth, to work in the great halls. It was meant to be a long visit, beneficial for Ermithren in Smith-craft, and Celugelir had a possibility to pursue his dreams. Elinnor stayed behind in Doriath with Gwanurthel.

PLAN:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<*> Get promoted
<*> Play a female
< > Play an Eagle
< > Hug a tree in actual RP
<*> Get killed
< > Pick a fight with Avaesse
<*> Have an Elf that is a Dwarf-friend
<*> Make the worst jokes on Elendor
< > Mispage so badly I need to change my name
<*> Throw a birthday party for Bilbo
< > Wear a dress when male
< > Play a baddie (well, longer than two days.)
<*> Kiss Frodo
< > Kiss Elrond
< > Use the air bus (squawk!)
Those are just a few points. I also intend to go cold turkey on the typo habbit one day, make shorter poses and use more scenery. And my jokes could be worse.

OOCDESC:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This male is sitting behind his computer, so you see him in his natural habitat. He should shave, really, but he is probably playing some stupid nerd game. >GO BED would be the best command.
He looks a bit shabby, a tad overweight (1), but his hands and nails are meticulously clean (2).
His hair is too long, too. He looks like someone who doesn't need to care how he looks. (3)
He is wearing sneakers and jeans, a cheap shirt and an expensive watch. In the corner of the room there are some boots with duck poo on them. (4)
(1) Only a tad, mind. I used to work out five times a week and run a total of 25 miles.
I stopped. Besides cramp it causes WeightGain 2000. (TM, South Park).
(2) Hey, I'm a pianist, what'd you expect?
(3) I don't; I'm a nerd. Besides, I have bad eye-sight and can't see it anyway.
(4) I work in a shelter for sick animals.
Ducks are like that.
In RL, I am a musician from Holland. So, fairly fluent in Dutch. English is not too bad either, and you might try Italian. German, or French. However, I +teach typo and misfoo, and will quote you out of context if I get the chance.
My first name cannot be displayed on most clients, but it is Rene, with at nameaccents xxx'.

NOTE:
* Ermithren means "The grey one."
* Ermithren is not really a nice person. Never forget the difference between IC and OOC.
PROJECT: None at the moment, although putting some stuff in separate projects might actually work to get some things done :)
