Outward Appearance

Radanir (Sindarin: Path-Finder) is a tall, broad shouldered elf who carries himself with an air of privilege and discipline. Past his shoulders lay his fair near-golden hair often neatly kept away from his face by a decorative braid.

 

Piercing blue eyes are set into strong and pronounced features with his nose slightly larger than proportional, but its curve and placement seem to offset this to create an imposing visage.

 

Closer Inspection
 
Radanir appears calm and centered. His posture refined and practiced. In the few moments he speaks, he seems to always have the words to express precisely what he means. Yet something about his character makes it seem as though he rests precariously on the verge of violence; an inaudible gesture that encourages obedience 'lest one is faced with needless volition.

In personal dealings he is quiet, reserved, and deferential to his betters. He is accustomed to service. Of course, he is doggedly loyal to the house of Elrond, and he conducts himself with circumspection.
 
To acquit his duties with care only for Lord Elrond's famed glory is his utmost concern...
 

  Equipment

 

Travelling-Armor

Radanir wears a white elvish robe coated with light chain-armor, Most prominently of his worn items is his Ithillien shield strapped to his backbag. On long journeys and often in prospect of a battle, he comes ready to brandish his finely-crafted Elven blades.

Background

A promise lays broken at his lips. It has been savaged by war cries and stained in the blood of war. "Do not become like him," His mother had said. His visage that of history repeating itself. He who walks in the shadow of his father and his father before him know well of the blade. Its absence, like a severed limb, would forever haunt the soul. He reaches for it within the brooding of night desiring a touch that is familiar to him. War is his only paramour; no other touch will do.

There is a seething which lurks beneath his ageless pale skin. The world is unjust; his people do not rule it. His bones are the immemorial masonry of fallen heroes and forgotten legacies. There is a darkness to his gaze, imposing deference on the so-called lesser races.
Do not blame the wolf for his desire to hunt. Radanir was nursed in tales of splendor and grace that wanes across middle-earth; a foul darkness that now sweeps across a world he once knew so well, cuirasses gleaming beneath the midday sun, each Man crowned a blurred halo of gold over rubbles of lost kingdoms. The dreams of the child were of the taking of arms, to be borne through that rigid regime and the father he took as his mentor. But his was a hand neither gentle nor forgiving and within him, he first discovered a taste for violence and the cruelty of ill, described only as the ways of the world.
Rising to his feet, shaking and desperate to muster what little strength hid behind his shortened breaths. Watch now as this slender scheme of sinew and steel marches across the blood-fields. Gaze upon his unconquerable stride. With elven blades in hand, the path to glory is one he will carve.

 

 

"Strangers from distant lands, friends of old, you have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle Earth stands upon the brink of destruction; none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom."
