My favorite story and character in the Silmarillion is the tragedy of Turín, or Mormegil, the Black Sword. I would like to adapt a character with him in mind, yet not an exact copy, that I would have the freedom to play as I feel and not have the restriction of a character that already exists in the book. Good? I would however like to keep the name Turin in as my char name.
Turin Turambar,
Age: 28
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Profession: Farmer
Belongings: A long sword made of black metal, provisions to keep in good health
Background history: Turin was a farmer who lived in the country of Balar. His village was destroyed by Orcs that had killed his family. He returned home from selling grain to find them slain. He joined the survivors on their trek North to join with another village, and then joined the group of defenders of that village. This was still in the country of Balar. He quickly worked his way up the chart of men that showed great courage and strength on the battlefield. He had nothing to live for, so he was never afraid of his own death.
When news got around that some humans had joined forces with Morgoth, he was wroth and vowed to be part of a team that would put an end to the reign of this evil.
This is how Turin has become part of the group.
