thank god they get new names here--aragorn II elessar telcontar is a ridiculous mouthful

[elfstoned]

Hi guys! I'm Krystal, and I'll be playing Aragorn from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

Only here his name is Dr. Aaron Strider, long-lost heir of nothing in particular. He's an ex-Army doc who left the military as soon as he'd paid his medschool debt, traveled around for a while, then came to this city and opened up the LSR Clinic by the Dead District. It's pretty sketchy, since he mainly treats people without insurance/who couldn't pay for anything better. Strider does damn good work, even if it's not as well-supplied as he'd like it to be. Basically it's a charity, but he's had a hard time finding people to donate to it, so he sells weed on the side to cover supplies/operating costs. Hence his username. Yes, of course I take my characters seriously.

He's not nearly as creepy as he seems, I promise.

Anyway! I'm very excited to be here! Please do friend me on Plurk at spartabitch because I would love to chat/plot with all of you! And if you think your character would know Aaron, whether from the army or association with the city's poor, I'm 100% up for hashing out shared backstory.

I'm up for this! They know each other by sight but not much else?

And come on, the weed isn't that bad. He'd be using it on his patients anyway, it pays for necessary supplies, and his product is never laced with anything harder. It's about as goody-two-shoes as breaking the law can possibly be. This is Aragorn.

That sounds about right. He might have noticed him running like hell out of the DD a month or so prior. That might make him more memorable to Strider.

Heh. Kenji would probably try to buy some from him, if he sells to minors.

Hmm. I think Aaron's answer was, "You old enough to smoke? No? Then find somewhere else to waste your money, kid." Gotta draw the line somewhere, and selling to minors is it.

So between that and running out of the Dead District, yeah, Aaron would remember Kenji for sure!
