About Your Character:
General information:
Full Name: Skarthryth Skallgrim
Nicknames: Skars, Skarth
Age: 20
Race: Man
Gender: Male
Class: Champion
Approximate level: 24ish
Place of residence: Wherever his feet and head land him.
Place of Birth: Dale
Occupation: Weaponsmith, Warrior, Lutist (Not always in that order)
Special Abilities: Uncanny musical ability, always calm and collected under pressure, and a knack for finding a good fight. Through his several years of constant wandering, he has also picked up a knack for speaking the elvish tongue of Sindarin.
Positive Personality Traits: Skarth will never stand down, never leaving the fight until either himself, or his enemy is defeated utterly. Skarth is a loyal friend and companion, and a fierce and unflinching opponent. He will do anything for his friends and compatriots. Becoming a trusted friend and ally, however, can be a bit of an issue when it comes to Skarth. Since dwarves and Dale-men have allied against the Easterlings, Skarth tends to get along with Dwarves quite well, and through his travels, he also feels a bond with some elves. He speaks their tongue, and finds it amusing to speak it in public places where most men don't understand.
Negative Personality Traits: Skarth is not quick to trust. As most of his friends and family have fallen in battle to the Easterlings, he tends to be dark and brooding at times, and though he never expresses it to others, lonely and full of rage at anyone who would ally themselves with Mordor. However, except to a select few, Skarth will never express any emotion that he deems weak. In his opinion, if he is weak, he will share the fate of his kinfolk. Skarth also has issues about trusting some Hobbits. He finds their ways to be strange, and somewhat weak. And weakness, to Skarth, is intolerable.
Misc. Quirks: Skarth loves to play the lute. He considers it a tribute to the fallen. He rarely plays anything happy. Happy songs, to him, show disrespect to his fallen brethren. However, on the few occasions when Skarth lets loose, it is obvious that under his guard, is a truly caring individual, who wants nothing more than to put an end to the evil that plagues the lands, at all costs.
Comments or questions about your character: Skarth is a hero in constant torment. He is by all means good and well meaning, but his demeanor can sometimes offend those who do not know much about him. He is always civil, but cold, and sometimes seems uncaring about the troubles of others. However, he is always willing to lend his sword arm, to help end these dark times for the free peoples of middle earth, even if it could mean certain death.
About You (Out of Character):
General information: The names Clifford, or Cliff. I'm an American soldier stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. On my off time, I'm an avid RP'er and MMO gamer. LOTRO has been my favorite MMO since closed beta, pre release. I abandoned her for over a year, but I'm back and loving it once again.
This information is optional but may help us get to know you better. Fill out only what you are comfortable with sharing.
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Gaming experience level (in LotRO and other MMOs): I've been playing different MMO's for about 5 or 6 years now. It started with Everquest for me, then a short stint in WoW. Everquest 2 held my attention for a couple of years due to the active RP crowd on my server. Been playing LOTRO off and on since closed beta. Only recently fell back in love with it. I also semi-actively play EVE.
Role-Playing experience level (in LotRO and other formats): I've been Role-Playing in MMO's since I started playing them, probably because of playing DnD from a young age. I almost always try to stay in character, though sometimes, especially during tense raid or instance moments, I may slip.
Your alts (if any): None so far, but I'll probably start one after I develop Skarth a bit more.
Gaming style:
Please fill out this information as completely as possible. Rate how important the following is to you in LotRO:
Leveling: 5 to 6, it always comes second to RP.
Crafting: 6 or 7. I find it enjoyable, but Skarth puts it second to battle.
Exploring: 8. Skarth is a wanderer at heart. Always looking to new horizons, to do his part and then some against the greater evil.
PvMP: 3 to 4. It never holds my attention for long.
End-game content: 7 to 8, as long as I can slap some RP in there.
Role-playing: 9 to 10. This always takes priority.
Socializing: 8 to 9. Skarths interaction with other characters is very important to me.
How much time do you spend on the most important aspects listed above? I try to split my time well. Though I try to incorporate RP into my questing and leveling time, I always set aside play time for socializing and RP.
Have you ever been in another Kinship or Guild? If so, what were your reasons for leaving? Never actively been in another LOTRO kinship, really. I was in several different EQ and EQ2 guilds over the years, the last of which I left because I left home for basic training.
What is your time zone? What are your approximate game play hours and how much time do you play per week? I am currently in the Eastern time zone. I usually play after 5pm to between 9 and 10pm. I'm active throughout the day on most weekends. I try to get on at least an hour or two each day, but lately, my job has been keeping me quite busy. Also, I sometimes have to leave unexpectedly for up to several weeks on end. I have no control over this. However, LOTRO rules much of my free time whenever possible.
Any comments about yourself you would like to include: Overall, I'm a friendly and group oriented person. I'm always easy to get along with, and helpful to the end. I've been searching for quite awhile for a good RP kinship, and I'm hoping that this is it!
