Feb. 4th, 2013 04:51 pmBackground and history:
Elfwine is the son of Eomer and Lothiriel. He's coming into the game at age 22, and has been raised as Prince of Rohan in a time of peace. Due to the peace of the time, Elfwine has not had much experience as a rider or in riding with an eored. He's instead been trained mostly in diplomacy and has spent his life in preparation for his future role as king.
His life at home consists of trying to get his father's council to listen to his points, starting to serve as a sounding board and secondary advisor for Eomer, taking the notes at council meetings, and traveling on diplomatic visits between the leaders of various nations. He's recently begun attempting to make strides toward a peace with the Dunlendings, something which his parents both have a lot of issues with.
Elfwine tends to be pretty quiet, but very, very focused. It's difficult to get him to the point where he's yelling, but when he's angry about something, you definitely know it by the fact that he slips into extreme sarcasm, and seems to get much quieter than usual. He definitely sspeaks with a strength of conviction that's a bit unusual in someone so young, but again, he's bbeen trained to this, which helps. His hyperfocus means it's sometimes hard to get him to relax. He's almost determindely focused on whatever is right at hand in the moment. It's kind of like when a dog sees something they want across the street and are determined to get to it right then, even if a car is coming.
Elfwine doesn't tend to notice or see these "cars" as they're coming at him, and sometimes has a habit of forgetting to notice anything else in life. He's definitely quiet and thoughtful, but it's a different sort of realm of thought and his brain always is tuned to politics or philosophy and how it can be most effectively used for the good of the Mark.
Character Points:
Elfwine tends toward quiet sarcasm and sometimes it's rather subtle. He doesn't have a default sarcastic voice persay,which tends to make people think he's serious about some of the things he says. It's another reason people have trouble taking him seriously sometime.
He's very much a lone wolf in terms of personality, and has a hard time attaching to people, and with physical affection. He tends to jump back in surprise at things like that, and is weird about being touched at all.
He's very very political and well educated, and tends to focus soley on the political scene. What he really needs is someone who'll get him out of his shell a little. Elfwine can be incredibly loyal and protective of his friends, when he's made them, but he needs that push out into the real world and out of the ideal one.
He's fond of philosophy and enjoys debating it. He's especially fond of Finrod and Andreth's collected dialogues, and might well bring them up at some point.
He does love horses, and will be desperately missing his own.
Appearance: Tall, thin, curly blond hair. A little too thin, actually.
Avatar in game: Aaron Tveitt
Likes: politics, horses, Andreth (she's kinda his historical crush, okay?), debates, hot chocolate, socks, cheese, reading, fencing (close to an epee style)
Dislikes: romance, being touched, coffee, alcohol, not being taken seriously due to his age and looks, archery, dressing up,
