His father was Damion Mythian and his mother was Emilee Mythian, both who actively served in the cities great military. The army of Gondor was known for their skill in combat and chivalry on the field of battle. His mother preferred the bow for range attacks but was skilled in other weaponry as well.

From an early age, his parents personally started to train him in many weapon forms and types, becoming well rounded but not yet picking one for him to master. The years passed by quickly as Nicholas became a talented, and very skilled fighter for the army of Gondor. He was chosen to fight alongside his fellow elite troops in many campaigns that reached out to the far corners of Middle- Earth. He had heard of the great battle that had taken place before he was born, where the allied armies of Middle-Earth fought against the great evil of Saruman and defeated him and the story of the rings. Evidence of the great war laid all around them, no matter how hard it tried to hide from the eyes of men and mortals. It was evident that there was more to this world thank fighting humans, but creatures of the dark roamed the lands and were becoming more and bolder with every day that passed. Rare sightings of these creatures became quite common, and he took it upon himself to help eliminate some of these non-human threats. The first time he encountered an Orc was while traveling with his parents through a dark forest near the borders of the their lands. These were not ordinary Orcs, they were stronger, larger and much more aggressive. Sadly, his parents were kill by an ambush of the same Orcs later that year when on a journey with a group of other soldiers. Nicholas found out a couple days later of his parents fate and decided to venture forth into Middle-Earth alone, hunting down those who killed his parents and all other evil that stood in his way or threated the lives of innocents. Eventually his travels brought him to Bree, where he took up residence and created a name for himself as a mercenary and solider, protecting the lands and their people.

When a job arrives, he will fill it out to the letter with no mercy as he eliminates his targets. For many reasons, he has earned the nickname Raven, and prefers to be called it over his real name. Some part parts of his personality include humor and affection, that are rarely seen.

Name Lady Haleth

A strong but kind hearted dark haired human fighter standing only 5 foot weighing 106 pounds dressed in a long hodded cloak hiding her armor and weapons she can be shy at times but doesn't take guff from anybody. From the First Age of Middle-earth, ancient history to The Lord of the Rings.

After her father and brother were killed in an orc siege, Haleth defended their rugged band of woodmen until the Elven cavalry arrived politely refused the Elf-lord's offer of protection in exchange for fealty, led her people on an epic journey through a deadly wilderness prowled by giant spiders, orcs and many other deadly creatures she founded a new refuge for them in the forest of Brethil on the outskirts of the great Elven kingdom of Doriath.

When the king granted the People of Haleth permission to settle on the condition that they swore to bar orcs from entering Brethil, their feisty leader retorted:

She replied - 'Where are Haldad my father, and Haldar my brother? If the King of Doriath fears a friendship between Haleth and those who have devoured her kin, {Orc filth} then the thoughts of the Eldar are strange to Men.' ~ The Silmarillion

[Dutchess Sarah]

1: Name: Amaron

2: Sex: Male

3: Place of Birth: Minas Tirith

4: Age: 24

5: History:
Born and raised in Minas Tirith, Amaron’s family knew all the stories about Sauron and his armies and made a point of telling them to their children and children’s children. They believe firmly in the city’s role of watchman, and consider training for the defence of Osgiliath and keeping an eye out for activity in Mordor a sacred duty. Amaron spent some time training under Faramir, who has taken a liking to the unlikely soldier. Unfortunately neither this affection nor his skill with weapons and horses could save him the humiliation of being kicked out of the army and the city, forever separated from his home, his army, his family.
In a last, desperate attempt to contribute to the safety of Middle Earth, Amaron followed rumours of a band of Orcs tearing through the land. His hunt caused him to cross paths with Raven and his band of mercenaries. He eagerly accepted an invitation to join them, though he tends to keep to himself.

6: Race: Human

7: Random Information:
Amaron is the third of five children. Their mother died giving birth to Gonnor, 14 years ago. Their heartbroken father never remarried, and the boys basically raised themselves.
Amaron is tall and slender, almost frail. He lacks facial hair, and because of his appearance, he was rarely taken seriously by the others.
His father judged him too frail to fight, and sent him to work among the women. Amaron did not appreciate this, so he spent most of his life sneaking out to train with his older brothers, who laughed at him at first. This made him even more determined and he trained night and day. He is much stronger than he looks, has some impressive skills with a sword and shield and is the only person in his family who can handle an elvish longbow. He has learnt to use his appearance and agility as an advantage, and it has been several years since any of his brothers could defeat him in combat.
