+1 Elvenking

[smirkwood]

Hi everyone! I'm Mark, bringing in my first character here - Thranduil from The Hobbit, of Tolkien's legendarium. He has been given a score of 10, and is assigned to District 1.

He's a 6500-ish year old Tolkien-flavor Elf with a lot of combat experience. I wouldn't piss him off in the arena if you want to live a while longer. He's also a king who is fond of wine, parties, and shiny things.

His canon point is one month post The Battle of the Five Armies; just enough time to recover a bit mentally from the battle and other related feels. So yes, he's still an ass, sorry to say.

If you have not seen The Battle of the Five Armies yet and care about spoilers, rest assured that I will be keeping any of the relevant information as vague as possible for a little while. If you really want to be safe, ping me and let me know. It's been out a while now though, so I don't think too many of you will have issues?

My plurk is marcuswolf828, feel free to add, but be warned there's a lot of Tolkien shenanigans on there.

I've been playing his son for about a year now, but it's my first time in a game with Thrandad himself. Being new to such a complex game, I may need a little help starting out to understand the procedure, but I hope to do my best.

Hi Mark! The name's Monface and I just play Luke from The Walking Dead Game. I feel you -- I've been here since October and, well, I'm still getting a feel for things in some ways since I've never been in any game quite so big and complex as this one. But welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll settle in and have a good time before long. We're all here to help as best we can.

[smirkwood]

Hi there! Yeah I have a feeling since this game is so differently laid out than most there will be a little learning curve going on, but I'll get the hang of it! Nice to meet you!

[tookthewheel]

Hello, hello! Welcome to the the Games! I'm Manda, a helper mod here and also the mun to MCU!Bucky Barnes, who's in Thranduil's district, and Clementine from the TWD game (D6).

[smirkwood]

[Gasp!] What R U doing with my Party Elk?!

Hi Manda! I'm happy to be on board. I'm semi-canonblind to MCU, to be honest, (I've seen the films, but that's about it) but I'm sure I'll find out if/how they get along soon XD

[tookthewheel]

Partying better than u

If you've seen both Captain America movies then you know this guys story XD if Thranduil doesn't mind a sad trash hobo assassin occasionally hanging round the suite they'll be fine.

[smirkwood]

HOW DARE U

It's been a while since I've seen them, I remember something about being brainwashed and that's about it?

Thranduil is... picky about who he associates with, lol. But leave him alone and he won't particularly care. Otherwise I just have to see what he does XD

[tookthewheel]

PARTYING 1940'S STYLE

Looong story short, Bucky was a soldier in WWII and Captain America's bff until he was thought KIA but was actually found by the super-Nazi bad guys, turned into a super-soldier assassin with a robot arm, then brainwashed and kept in cryostasis unless needed. Get to 2014 and Cap2 happened with Steve managing to snap him out of it. In-game he still doesn't remember much of who he used to be and his behaviour is still largely influence by his programming but he's getting better XD

Bucky's not the most social so we shall indeed, it might end up being a case of mutually ignoring each other, lol.

[smirkwood]

ahaha that sounds fantastic.

mutual ignoring each other is probably go! until the arena of course

Hi there! I'm Ali (one of the mods here!) and I play Pixie from X-Men who is also in District 1, and a bunch of other folks too. I'm so excited to meet you and to play with Thranduil! Welcome to the Games! If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to poke me! c:

[smirkwood]

Thanks! Canon-blind again, but...! XD

I will probably have all the questions, because of how the game is laid out, but I will do my best. I hope I live up to everyone's expectations with Thrandad here!

[affluenza]

THRANDUIL YES

Hi I'm Cass, I'm pretty new as well and I play Dandy Mott from American Horror Story. Looking forward to seeing Thranduil around! Welcome to The Games!

[smirkwood]

THRANDUIL NO ...wait backwards whoops. Thanks! I hope I can do him justice.

Cass from Ryslig by chance?

[affluenza]

Yep! I just realized you're the Legolas there, ha. Well, your Legolas was lots of fun so I'm sure you'll do awesome with elkdaddy too!

Now we just need more Tolkiens, someone app Smaug

[smirkwood]

NO DRAGONS. FIRE BAD. NO. THIS FACE FOREVER.

Aw, thanks! Haha, yes, well... I have less practice with dad, but at least I've had to study his character to understand how to play Legolas as well. And I get to kill him off here as well oh dear I must not like him.

[radianced]

Come, let us combine the fabulous~

/leads the way with sparkles

Ahem. I'm Riddle, you're awesome for playing Thranduil and this is Apollo. Hi.

[smirkwood]

Whoops canon-blind again, lbr. /headdesk.

Nice to meet you Riddle! Ahhhh I hope I can live up to everyone's expectations here! D:

[worldsaway]

Heya! I'm the mod who helped you out on plurk, my name is Pengu and I play Thor, Dave Strider and a drag queen stylist named Jolie. Looking forward to all the CR!!

[smirkwood]

Ohi! Nice to meet you formally. Yes, the plurk convo was a big help, thanks for that!

I am totally stalking anything Thor and Ragnar do omg.

Also you can thank Ragnar-mun for convincing me to app here. :3

[tevintage]

Hello Mark! Great to meet you. :) I'm Britt and I play this sassy mage Dorian Pavus here from Dragon Age: Inquisition.

I am so fucking excited for Thranduil you have no idea

[smirkwood]

Not horribly familiar with your canon, other than having played a little bit of DAO. Shall we have a sass off?

Ahhhh so nervous to do him right with everyone so excited! /frets

[tevintage]

DAO was kind of frustrating but DAI is brilliant and I love it to pieces

DON'T BE NERVOUS we don't bite :3

Dorian here was sort of in a relationship with an elven archer before being brought here but
thranduil is
not the elf he was looking for

[smirkwood]

this is not the Elf you're looking for. move along.

Haha, well, as long as that elven archer isn't Legolas he won't be too bothered. XD

[tevintage]

lol oh god now i am picturing dorian and legolas, thanks for that

[smirkwood]

You're welcome >:D

[tevintage]

OH YEAH THOUGH--

he may uh...

be used to Elves as slaves...

there is that.

[smirkwood]

Ahahahah THIS FACE. THIS FACE RIGHT HERE.

[tevintage]

HEY IN HIS DEFENSE HE...

didn't know better??? (best defense)

And now that he's banged an elf he's a little less of a slave apologist....??

er i mean uh
excuse me
i think i have another appointment

[smirkwood]

YEAH AND THE APPOINTMENT IS AT THE ARENA. THRANDUIL SMASH XD

[tevintage]

ahahaha I can't fucking wait 8D

[smirkwood]

yes agreed! I am excite! now I just have to figure out how this game works lol... I'm going to try to get something up soon.

[tevintage]

we're between arenas right now, so basically you just need to throw him into the capitol :) you can either do an open post or test the waters by throwing him at other posts, no one really minds either way

[smirkwood]

Yeah I figured that was the case, but I just want to re-read everything and make sure I have my setting all figured out. But soon... if not tonight than tomorrow. I'm trying to wrap up some other things elsewhere. :3

[tevintage]

Go, Fight, Win :3

[pimpcanes]

Hi Mark! Welcome to the Games. :) Looking forward to playing with Thranduil, I live with some of the mods and heard great things about your app. I'm Lisa, I play Punchy, Venus, Marco and Black Tom and I friended you on plurk!

[smirkwood]

Ahhhh /blushes. Hi Lisa! I am so horribly canon blind to most characters in this game it's not even funny, but I look forward to playing with you none the less!
