Athrabeth na Dorthonion

Findaráto

This RP will take place in Valinor, about a hundred years after the Flight of the Noldor. Findaráto's son, Finamátirë, who has never met his father, is coming of age in a world very different from that in which his mother and father grew up. This RP will be a chance to examine the affect of the Flight of the Noldor on the Elves who remained behind, and on the culture of Valinor itself.

I will play Finamátirë.

Aikanáro is currently working on an original character, and more will be welcome. The only character we may possibly need from N4 (other than Amá) would be Indis, Arafinwë,, Earwen and Anairë. If the members of N4 don't want to play these, that's fine, although I really doubt that much will be needed of them.

While this RP is not directly a part of N4 it will be closely related. The history of N4 is 'canon' for this RP as well.

So, any interest?

Yay!

I'll be playing Alyatánë Calmiel, who will be Finamátirë's wife, though she doesn't know it yet. Wink

A little about her:

Alyatánë lives with her mother in Tirion. Her father and older siblings went with Nolofinwë into exile, but Alya was too young at the time, they knew she couldn't have survived the journey, and so she and her mother stayed behind. She doesn't really remember much about that time, except the darkness and the fear, and she doesn't talk about her family much - in truth, she's ashamed that memory fails her, that she was too young to remember them well and to miss them now that they aren't around, and so she usually feels very uncomfortable when the subject is raised.

Her mother, however, never really adjusted to life after having parted with her husband and older children. She's a little fragile, a little unpredictable at times, and Alya has had to be her strength. In a way, Alya feels responsible for her mother's sorrow - if not for her, the family would at least be together, no matter what hardships they faced. Irrational as it is, she carries a certain guilt over this.

Alya comes from a family that has always aspired to higher social status, and so she's very much at ease with the finer points of formal etiquette, and has an air of confidence about her even when she's feeling nervous- she's just rather good at hiding it. She can hold her own in an argument, but she's not particularly opinionated, and so she's usually content to let people say what they like, so long as it doesn't affect her.

Nobody can break the Ingoldo tradition. Laughing

Yay!

As soon as Aika gets her character figured out, we can get started, then. Smile
