+1 scowler er i mean scholar
Hey folks! My name is Ted and I'm brand new to the game. I've brought with me someone a bit odd, this is John aka J.R.R. Tolkien from the book series The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica. Yes he's that J.R.R. Tolkien, though his PB is Craig Olejnick, and he's youngish (he's finishing work on The Hobbit from his canon point).
His series is about him, Charles Williams and C.S. Lewis teaming up to protect the world and the Archipelago of Dreams from each other and crazy people that would like to rule both. The Archipelago is the world that's home to myths and legends pretty much, full of islands that up until John and Co. came into the Archipelago was only navigable by reading the Imaginarium Geographica, the one almost complete atlas of it, which was written in a number of different languages and only trained Caretakers were able to read it. John is one of them! Which means he (for once) has the Geographica on him and he's fresh from discovering how the myth of King Arthur in his world isn't like what's in the books.
This book series is basically "how many authors and fictional characters of theirs can we shove into seven books".
He's from The Indigo King for the canon familiar, post all of that lovely adventure and he's ready to get home to his family. He's also Seelie, because a Caretaker doesn't like to cause chaos.
I can be reached by PM to this here account or on plurk at
dragonship! I'll get John up on the intro log soon.

Anyway hi! I'm Fae, and I have this short, angry creation of John's!
no subject
And hi! He's just going to quietly flail over here and then wonder why he's so lightly armed. Like don't dwarves go into battle with like ten different weapons???
no subject
Also you should totally app Theoden next round, we have Eowyn /enables
no subject
AND I HAVE BEEN DEBATING IT, tbh it's gonna depend on how well John settles.

no subject
he's just never admitting it.kahdf and yes it's not too hard, or it shouldn't be. He's not convinced this isn't like some other land from back home so like...yeah...loud mouth John.

Hello! I'm Chasekat, I just added you on plurk--I play Kelsi Nielson from High School Musical, who is probably going to constantly bother him about the songs and lyrics he writes because that's sort of what she does.
Super looking forward to tagging you! Is he up on the feast meme?
no subject
And hi! That's okay by him really, he doesn't get the chance to really sit down and talk about such things with people, most of his crew are like scholarly scholar types that like to talk about meaning and such.
He's not up yet as I got distracted! I'll ping you on plurk when I do get around to it, if that's okay?

She can laugh at him later lmao. But yes, if they talk languages he has a ready made source to show her Earth's! Annd a weird little saying in the corner of each map that she may have a reaction to. (It's Here, There Be Dragons yeah...)

/also going to tag you but also chinhands forever
Hi. I'm Kel and I play Idril here and also Aubri the gryphon from Lackey's Mage Wars trilogy. Do you mind an add on Plurk? I'd love to be able to plot things with you!
no subject
I don't mind an add at all! I can't wait really, as the only mention of gryphons by John's canon point is in a war against chickens....and then just Idril.
no subject
Still all the chinhandsing, though.

no subject
yes good
