PLOT:
This RPG is about a group of people from present day who, somehow, get transported from Earth to Middle-Earth, and once they get there, they're transformed into a different race! Some turn into an elves, dwarves, hobbits, and then some stay humans. They arrive the day before the Council. They sit in on the council and end up joining The Fellowship.

You can play a character from LOTR(accept for a few that I have chosen that will not be played), a person who gets transported to Middle-Earth, or both. Or, if you want your character to be bad, they can change to an Orc, Uruk-Hai, Goblin or a man who's working for Saruman.

RULES:
No sex
No cussing
If your character is from Middle-Earth, no modern day lingo, please.
Not too much gore.
Romance is allowed.
Action and suspense is allowed.
You can have up to three characters.
Please, try to use correct spelling and pucntiation. It distracts from the post is there's a word missing, or a period or whatever.
You can not play any of the characters I list below:

Arwen
Aragorn
Eowyn
Faramir
Sauron
Sam
Rosie
Gandalf
Saruman
((If someone wants to play either Gandalf or Saruman, they must play them both. The others I chose because they were romances already written by Tolkien, and I'd like whatever romance stories that are written to be genuine and from our imaginations.))

The two character's from Middle-Earth that I am playing are Boromir and Haldir. My character who's being transported to Middle-Earth is right here:

((So the Fellowship is splitting up- I think? I need to go watch the movies again. ))

((We're starting when the Fellowship begins, at Rivendell.))

((*clears throat* Um, Dar, you want to post first? I mean, not only is it your RPG, but I have no clue how they end up in M-E!

Were they all travelling on the same bus in San Fransisco and suddenly an earthquake opened a fault line and they all went hurtling through, or what?

((Okay, I'll post it. Let me post the idea in the OOC thread first.))

Lilianna, or Lili to most, sat in the back of the taxi, tears streaming down her face. The driver was kind enough to not as her questions, and just drove to where she'd told him. Lili stared out of the window, the beautiful day not brightening hers. She loved it when the city of Chicago had sunshine, but not today.

Lili's hand went to the huge gash on the left side of her face and to the bruise on her arm. Lilianna Noel, you're entirely too trusting! You should have seen the signs! He was just like every other guy you've met; a jerk. she thought. It was true. All the guys she knew were jerks. She had scars to proove it. It was because she was quick to trust what they said, and then found herself with yet another bruise or gash.

Lili looked at the passport in her hand. The fear in her heart was far too hard to take, and she almost told the taxi driver to turn around, but she knew her parents were all she had left. She had left home at age sixteen, and things had really been nice and sweet between them when she'd left. All she could do was hope that they'd accept her back.

Lili paid the driver, thanked him and stepped from the taxi. She knew she must have looked horrible; her hair a mess from being beaten around, the left side of her face caked in dry blood and her clothes all straggly. She ignored all the stares, walked into the airport and bought a one way ticket to London, England.

She went to grab her luggage, but it was suddenly gone. She looked around, but it was gone. Anger filled her heart at the thought of her luggage getting stolen. She shoved her ticket into her shirt pocket and ran back outside to see if she had, just maybe, forgotten it by the taxi, but it was nowhere to be seen.

Fresh tears filled her eyes. That was all I had! Everything I had was in that suitcase! Lili went back inside to report that her suitcase had been stolen, when she heard that her plane was leaving in only a few minutes. That can't be right, I had over two hours until the plan was taking off! Lili reached into her pocket to grab her ticket, but it wasn't there. What was going on?

Once again, Lili ran outside to see if she had dropped it, but the wind was beginning to pick up which meant that, if she had droped it outside, it was long gone.
"No I have to buy another ticket!" she excalimed angrily as she tried to brush her hair out of her face.
The wind was getting faster by the second. Lili had to shield her eyes to see. She turned around to go back inside, but stopped short. No one else seemed to notice the wind, or her, for that matter. It was then that Lili noticed that the airport was gone, and most of the people around her were disappearing too.

The wind was blowing dangerously now, and Lili knew she had to get to cover or she could get killed by debris. But there isn't any debris! There's nothing here to use as cover, anyway! Lili suddenly spotted a grove of trees in the distance. It was the only cover there was, so she ran towards it. As soon as she'd reached the trees, the wind stopped. Lili looked over her shoulder in the direction that she'd come, and all she saw were trees.

Lili gasped and spun around, but she was surround by trees. So many trees, in fact, that it looked like a forest. But I was just in Chicago at the airport! I wasn't even by a forest!
"What is going on?" Lili excalimed, fear gripping her heart.

Martini closed her eyes as the plane started to descend. She always hated this part- not that she had been on many plane rides, this was only her second. But the way it twisted her stomach and stopped up her ears...

"Awww there goes Mart again, making her face match her hair." The man next to her laughed.

"Shut up Bell." Martini growled between clenched teeth, even as the other band members in the rows around her laughed along with him. Her grip on the arm rest loosened as the plane slowed to a stop. She and the others stood as the flight attendant rambled her usual ending spiel and soon they were off and on solid ground.

Thank goodness. Her ears were clear now and her stomach had settled, but the plane ride had left her with a mild case of cabin fever. "You guys go get the luggage. I'll call a cab." Before the others could protest, she jammed the earbuds of her iPod into her ears and strolled away towards the front of the airport.

Martini pushed her way through the crowd, her hands in her pocket and her head bobbing to the music. She banged her hand on the front desk a few times before the woman would acknowledge her. "Hey! Where's the phones?" The prim lady eyed her green hair, grungy band clothes and piercings before jerking her head towards the far wall. "Thanks."

Something was funny. She couldn't put her finger on it, but as she walked for the phones, Martini had the oddest feeling that something had goofed. What could it be...!! The wind! She was inside, but she could feel a breeze, much too strong to be the air conditioner. Her baggy pants were already moving, as well as her earbud cords. Even her short hair was rustling. And yet everyone around her walked on like it was normal.

WOAH!!!! THAT was NOT normal! A hard gust of wind hit her, knocking her into one of the chairs nearby, but the guy next to her didn't even seem to notice. Oof! The wind hit her again, just as she was about to scream for her bandmates. It knocked her to the floor. She couldn't even hear her blaring music from the iPod over the whistling wind.

She couldn't even stand up now. So Martini tucked her arms around her head and stayed crouched on the floor. And then... it stopped. Martini uncurled her arms and looked up, glad the madness was over, but the sight nearly made her heart stop as well. She was in a forest. A BIG forest with really really tall trees. There was even an ant crawling on her shoes.

((I've really got to remember to read the OOC right before posting.

Sorry.))

Leah Ringlestetter hurriedly gathered her books into a pile, and shoved them into her bag. I can't believe I lost track of time. Now I'm probably going to miss the plane. Whenever she was studying, she always forgot to look at the clock. I need to set an alarm next time. After driving as fast as she could without being pulled over for about five minutes, she dashed into the airport, only to stop staring; something was wrong; there was a breeze, inside. And then the wind began blowing harder than she'd ever felt, but no one else seemed to notice. Confused, she turned around to see if the door was open or something, even though the wind was blowing the wrong direction for that to be happening; she needed a tangible explanation for what was going on, but she stopped in shock; the doors were gone, and so was the rest of the wall. In its place were trees, trees unlike any she had ever seen. Her jaw dropped, as she glanced behind her to see if the rest of the airport was intact, but it was gone too, with more trees where it had been. But this time, along with the trees, there was also a woman. "What in the world?" Leah exploded. "Where am I?" I have a feeling that I'm going to miss the plane, and I know for sure that no one's going to believe my excuse.

Gary stood there at the terminal of the Chicago Airport. His mom and dad, whom at his age, he was very lucky to keep in such good touch with, should be waiting for him. He was a plumber, by profession, and it had taken him months to plan in this trip to meet his parents where they had gone to retire. While scratching his thick black beard, Gary scanned the mass of people for someone holding a cardboard sign with his name on it. Being from New York City, he usually had an easy time picking someone out in a crowd. Since he was dressed in blue jeans, a plumber's tool belt, some suspenders, and a red shirt with Super Mario and the words, "Chicks Dig Plumbers" written on it, he shouldn't have been that difficult to pick out either. And for this reason, he gave up after about 10 minutes of standing around like a fool.

"Ah, maybe mom'n'dad are waitin' out at the car..." he grumbled in a deep voice and a thick New Yorker's accent as he began to stroll out of the airport. Something was weird. Everything was starting to seem almost surreal... the noise was dying down, the airport seemed to suddenly have planted a lot more trees, and the people all seemed to be leaving so fast that he couldn't keep track of them all. Once he had walked out the large revolving door, he found himself in a forest. A big forest.

Gary's mouth hung open as he gaped at the massive trees, and then he spun around to run back inside and see a doctor. Problem was, the door, and the entire Chicago Airport, were gone. "........... ok.... where am I?" he asked himself. "My name's Gary Ricodelli, I got a mom and a one handed dad, a lawyer for an older brother, I'm a plumber, and I should be in the Chicago Airport... not a forest." Well, he seemed to know what he was doing, since he had recited it all to himself, but... he was still in the forest! Could he have gone nuts? He THOUGHT he was thinking clearly, but if he was crazy, his opinion didn't really matter in regards of logical thought anymore." Hello?! Anyone here?!!! Is there a shrink in the hou--forest?!"
