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.

Dude, Aragorn! I'm super happy to see a Tolkien character here, I was a real Tolkien nerd as a teenager. (Although I haven't obsessively argued over facts in a while so I'm super rusty and forgetting a lot, oops.) Love the backstory you came up for him, btw!

Anywho, I'm Haley and this is Sasame from Pretear, now Sam Iwata. In his past life he was a magical knight that could manipulate the power of sound, now he's just a psych student at LCU with a love of music. He doesn't smoke and he's from a middle-class family so I doubt they'd have any past backstory but in a game this small they might end up running into each other!

Also I just added you on plurk. =Db

Thank you! Honestly, if this game had been more ridiculous, I would have had him as the leader of a gang of homeless vigilantes whose symbol of their secret society was a six-pointed star, but a vigilante hobo army was both a little too close to canon and didn't seem to fit with the feel of the game. But migrant-worker!modern!Rangers is a pet idea of mine that I'm very fond of.

Always good to meet another huge Tolkien nerd!

/adds back! :D
