Character Profile – Turgon 'The Wise'
Names
Sindarin: Turgon
Quenya: Turukáno
Background and history: Turgon has a lot of regrets and most start with his uncle Feanor and end with his wife's death on the ice. Now he's running a city as smoothly as he can.
Sometimes prone to taking the extreme response to problems (he's sent assassins after Eol), his best friend Ecthelion can often talk him into something more gentler, like not killing all the suddenly appearing humans.
He has a passion for all the new types of cooking that are appearing in his city and despite himself is starting to enjoy the strange thriving life mortals invading his city is giving it. But he knows it's just a matter of time before something bad appears, and isn't sure what he'll do when it happens.
And he'd like to know what exactly is happening.
Character Points: Turgon is hard-working and long-suffering. He generally makes the right decisions, hence 'the wise'.
Appearance: Tall, with pale skin and blue eyes. Dark haired. Looks weirdly like Ecthelion.
Face: Ian Somerhalder
Likes: Efficiency, curry, rice wrapped in leaves, and listening to his engineers explain the new irrigation systems they've worked out to grow the interesting plants and other food sources they're discovering.
Dislikes: Death marches, genocide, being reminded of his part in it.
Character Profile – Yaban
Names
Yaban
'HEY YOU'
Background and history: At home Yaban was a historian. He liked being a historian. Then he was conscripted to fight in the war of the ring.
(he's the one that looks like he's about to wander off)
Around the point he was deciding that maybe deserting was better than possibly being eaten by an orc ally, he suddenly found himself, in full armour, in Gondlin. He immediately surrendered to a very confused fruitseller.
He found work as a scribe writing out the histories, but found that writing for over a year just from his memory and not being able to check his sources or do any research took its toll on him.
If Gondolin was a comic, Yaban would appear in the background of Grima's scribe scenes, silent and unacknowledged. First starting off with goofing off at his desk, the next time he appears stabbing at his paper, next time whacking his head on the table, next time drinking straight from a bottle of wine, next time fetal curl, and final time (this is over the course of weeks) flipping his table and running out, all without being acknowledged. And then his first speaking scene is applying at the guards
Character Points: Smart, attentive, and absolutely in horror of spending more time inside writing. But he may go back to work, the only other Easterlings that have shown up at the time of this bio have been farmers and one cardshark, so telling the history of his people is up to him.
Appearance: All human, so no taller than 5'9, light skinned, dark eyed, black hair. Looks tired.
Face: Lee Joon-Hyuk.
Likes: Learning. Running (not for his life), looking at the stars.
Dislikes: Fighting in wars for someone who's terrorized his people, orcs, sour milk.
And two NPC bios, since I had no room for them in a full roster but I needed more guards and I wanted women:
Name: Angwen
Face: Eva Green
Race: Noldor
Quick bio: Angwen is one of the veterans of Ecthelion's guard. She does her best to keep the humans in line and finds she rather likes the fast little creatures. Picked up a bad pseudo-smoking habit from them.
Name: Nyellaiwe
Face: Rosario Dawson
Race: Corsair from Umbar
Quick bio: Deciding to play it low-key in Gondolin as a guard until she gets her bearings - that and she has no idea how one pirates on dry land, even if that land is inside a lake. But physical's the only thing she knows, so it's a guard's life for Nyel.
