Legolas « Thread Started on Aug 6, 2008, 8:54pm »
Name: Legolas
Breed: Elf
Gender: Male
Age: 273 {Still young in elven years}
Skill: Archer
Mount?: Halathar; white stallion
WOC: Bow given by Galadrial and endowed with magical properties. Stilletos up his sleeves that are thin and fast.
COB: Rhovanion
Appearance: Legolas has long, white-blond hair like most of his elven counterparts. His ears are less pointed than most, although still significantly so. His eyes are the most beautiful blue, although sometimes can be called gray. His skin is smooth with not a mark or blemish to taint it, and his smile is perfect white teeth. He has a pointed chin, and it makes him look more serious than he really is.
Personality: Legolas is a gentleman at heart, always putting others before himself. He is intelligent, and often knows more than those around him, although he will not brag. He will always lend an ear to anyone, sympathetic words and sad smiles reserved for special moments when they are needed. He has a playfully competitive streak, as he has shown many times in battles. Instead of facing his emotions head-on, he often dances around them and plays games or ignores them altogether. He is brave but not foolish, knowing when to quit and when to jump in.
History: Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood.
Legolas was introduced to the others at the council of Elrond of Rivendell, where he came as a messenger from his father to discuss the escape of Gollum from their guard. Legolas was chosen to be a member of the Fellowship that intended to destroy the One Ring. He accompanied the other members in their travels from Rivendell to Amon Hen.
When the Fellowship was trapped by a snowstorm while crossing the mountain Caradhras, Legolas scouted ahead to find the Sun, while Aragorn and Boromir drove a path through the snow.
Since the attempt to cross Caradhras failed, Gandalf took the Fellowship on an underground journey through Moria, an ancient Dwarf-kingdom, though some (including Legolas) did not wish to travel there. Before they reached Moria, however, Legolas helped fend off an attack by Sauron's wolves in Hollin. Once in Moria, he helped fight off Orcs and recognized "Durin's Bane" as a Balrog of Morgoth.
After Gandalf was lost while facing the Balrog, Aragorn took charge of the Fellowship and led them to the Elven realm of Lothlórien, the Golden Wood. Legolas served as the initial spokesperson for the company, speaking with the inhabitants, the Galadhrim, whom he considered close kin.
Within the Fellowship, there was friction between Legolas and the Dwarf Gimli, because of the ancient quarrel between Elves and Dwarves after the destruction of Doriath in the First Age; and also because Thranduil once threw Gimli's father, Glóin, in prison in addition Thranduil had been disliked by dwarves ever since he refused to pay them for crafting his raw metals. Legolas and Gimli became friends, however, when Gimli greeted the Elven queen Galadriel with gentle words.
The Fellowship left Lothlórien after receiving several gifts. Legolas was given a new longbow, along with other gifts that Galadriel and Celeborn gave him and the rest of the Fellowship, such as Elven cloaks and lembas bread.
After Boromir was killed and Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were captured by Orcs in The Two Towers, Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli set forth in pursuit of the two hobbits. Legolas and his companions met the resurrected Gandalf and the Rohirrim, fought in the Battle of the Hornburg, and witnessed Saruman's downfall at Isengard, where they were reunited with Merry and Pippin. In the Battle of the Hornburg, Legolas and Gimli engaged in an Orc-slaying contest (Gimli won by one, killing forty-two to Legolas's forty-one, but the real result was stronger mutual respect).
Legolas and Gimli accompanied Aragorn on the Paths of the Dead, along with the Grey Company. After Aragorn summoned the Dead Men of Dunharrow to fight for him, Legolas saw them frighten away the Corsairs of Umbar from their ships at Pelargir. Galadriel's prophecy was fulfilled: as Legolas heard the cries of seagulls, he began to experience the Sea-longing — the desire to sail west to Valinor the "Blessed Realm" which was latent among the Sindar. He fought in the Battles of the Pelennor Fields in and the Morannon and watched as Sauron was defeated and Barad-dûr collapsed.
After the destruction of the One Ring, Legolas remained in Minas Tirith for Aragorn's crowning and marriage to Arwen. Later, Legolas and Gimli went travelling together through Fangorn forest and to visit the Glittering Caves of Helm's Deep, as Legolas had promised Gimli. Eventually, Legolas chose to lead an Elf-colony in Mirkwood and spent his remaining time in Middle-earth, helping to restore the devastated forests of that war-ravaged land.
