Hi all, I've officialy made a signature character, a migty dwarf lord none the less. I hope you enjoy roleplaying beside him.

Name: Farnin Macbearer

Gender: Male

Appearance: A stout 4 foot 11 dwarf. He has a long orange beard and dark grey eyes. He is around 112 years old and is well built. He always has bags under his eyes and has strong caloused hands.

Faction: Durins Folk

Race: Iron Hills Dwarf

Weapons: the mighty mace, Korlan a.k.a the West Star a.k.a Durin's Thunder which is an ancient war mace handed down and improved by 30 generations of Farnin's forebears. It is so mighty it can break solid rock or steel with a single hit. He also has a crossbow with barbed bolts and a shortsword.

Armour: ancient galvorn and mithril encrusted armour which depicts Durin's reign and the might of 100 generations of ancient dwarves. The Galvorn was a gift from Eol before his demise. He wears mithril chainmail as well.

Other gear: Elven rope, mountain pitons, a collapsible pickaxe and a compass

Rank: mighty warrior and vassal of the Lord of The Iron Hills.

Abilities/Skills: EXTREMELY skilled with mace combat, a crack shot with the crossbow, a master tactitian and strategist, level headed, a master smith and very good at cheering up people

Back Story: Born into an ancient family of paladins and warriors, he became a good smith at a young age and joined hunting groups. When he was old enough to leave home he travelled Middle Earth going to Lothlorien, Gondor, Rohan and many other places (never the Shire). When he returned though SMaug haad conquered Erabor and the kingdom was thrown into dissaray. His father died in an orc raid and his mother was sent as a war nurse, his two younger brothers were killed by other dwarves in an assassination, trying to steal Korlan. He fell into depression and discovered he had a mental illness (aspergers). He joined the army and fostered suicidal tendencies, throwing himself into dangerous and horrifing situations, it took years for him to come to grips with the things happening around him. He knuckled down, gained a vassalhood and served Dain II Ironfoot. Now he fights as the Iron Hill's protector and mighty guardian.

Personality: Reserved, quiet, shy and awkward in conversation. Although he is nice when he warms to people, he is never rude but has problems with those who break rules and finds it hard to gauge emotion.

Quirks: Can play the flute and very poetic. He is known to spend whole nights sleeples and improving Korlan.
