I feel the need to Talk About My OCs so y'all get to hear about ríros son of orchal
He's a minor character in my fic Archaeology, but he's also my dnd character in an adventures in middle earth game
Ríros started out lowkey a joke character because his entire premise is "wood elf who looks disturbingly like maedhros but has never read a history book and doesn't know why he's been preemptively banned from every elven settlement except mirkwood" but now I'm attached to him and he has Angst
Also he's a himbo
And has a weird habit of rolling nat 20s on stuff he shouldn't be good at
He has no friends except the adventuring party (in which he's the only elf) and a couple people the party interacts with a lot, like spiders georic, who ríros helped rescue from a life of being a spider minion
In my effort to make him As Cursed As Possible i gave him a meteorite sword named langwaedh ("blade vow", thanks realelvish.net!)
And yes he HAS gotten stabbed by it while trying to wake up one of his human friends, but he didn't die, rip to beleg but he's different
Ríros is of course Big Tall and therefore occasionally serves as the high ground for his hobbit friend to snipe people from, and he carries people a lot (the party as a whole has a history of lugging unconscious bodies through the woods)
Notable lifting people incidents:
Spiders georic, the trader, magnuric, and the grandma, most of them at once
Hobbit friend, on multiple occasions, including while swimming
Half the party until they wake up, and then the other half because they fell unconscious immediately after
Lifting people's spirits
But see the REASON i am going FERAL isn't just ríros's deep love and devotion for his friends
It's because, last session, he got possessed
by maedhros
So now i get to rp maedhros who is basically his exact opposite in everything but appearance and being left handed, and also doesn't speak westron
He's already threatened to murder a party member and hasn't realized he has 2 hands yet this is so fun
Also i did a calligraphy :)
