Info Post for Arda Marred
Player
Name: Fae
Preferred Pronoun: She
Contact: Plurk, PM, y'all know me
Character
Name: Decova Brandybuck, also goes by Dec (Deck)
Canon: OC, but from Middle-earth? She's my LOTRO OC minus the LOTRO expanded story bits.
Pull-point: Just after Frodo leaves the Shire, though it's not the most relevant to her.
Power Opt-in post link: N/A
Content Opt-out post link: N/A
Age: 32, but looks about twenty? Hobbits are weird.
Gender/Sex: Female! Her short hair and preferred style of clothing sometimes sees her confused for a boy, however.
Appearance: Her PB is Audrey Tautou, but Decova herself is stouter, about 3'4" or so, and has smaller-than-average feet for a Hobbit.
History: Decova is one of the many, many Brandybucks in the Shire, though she moved northwards to Oatbarton from Brandy Hall when she was about four or five with her family, a large horde of nine (of which Decova is the youngest). Oatbarton is all she's ever known and she is quite okay with that.
Her father, a farmer, expected most of his children to follow suit and her eldest four siblings (three brothers and a sister) did, more or less. The next four siblings went off to do their own things, a sister marrying a Baggins and a brother becoming a tanner, but everyone expected Decova to follow the farming suit.
She did not. At all. From an early age, the Big Folk with bows fascinated Decova and on more than one occasion did she run off to go find one and ask for stories or for lessons in shooting. By the time she was eighteen, she was a pretty good shot and had begun to hunt in the wilder areas near Oatbarton to keep the vermin out of her father's fields. She's been doing that ever since and has made quite a name for herself as a hunter and vermin-catcher.
Personality: Decova is a very tomboyish young Hobbit and has always been thus. She loves being outside, finding things to do and unique things to see and there is little she hates more than being stuck inside--unless she has a book. Reading is about the only thing that will get Decova to sit still inside for any length of time and on more than one occasion she's offered to do errands or favors to get her hands on a new book. If the weather's good, she'll read outside but she's often afraid to as she might ruin the book. And that's terrible.
Being the youngest of nine, Dec learned very quickly to take no shit. She's a sweet girl, but annoy her or otherwise do something to deserve it she will rip into you. Stupid people annoy her. What exactly "stupid" is to her changes depending on who she's dealing with. Aside from stupid people, however, Decova frequently seems to love everyone. She loves meeting people and talking to them and occasionally climbing on them if they're taller than she is.
She likes to feel tall.
Abilities: *Cook well enough to not kill anyone (though as a Hobbit that means that for most people she's pretty damn good)
*Track animals
*Shoot a bow
*Use a slingshot with that natural Hobbit deadly accuracy
*Skin what she kills
*Fish...sorta
*As a farmer's daughter, she knows that trade as well
*Climb really tall things really quickly
Inventory: Decova brings with her:
*Dress and apron she's wearing (dammit Mama)
*Extra change of clothes (trousers and a shirt)
*Bow and quiver (twenty-four arrows)
*Hunting knife
*About three days of extra provisions, Hobbit-style (read: a lot of food, mostly dried fruit, nuts, and some jerky since she was planning on hunting. And pipeweed!)
*Pipe
*Her camping kit, which amounts to two blankets and some rope
*A cat
Anything else: Not really!
