Character
Name: Elladan Elrondion
Canon: Tolkien (Lord of the Rings)
AU: n/a
Pull-point: TA 3019
Permissions post link: general permissions post here
Opt-out post link: nothing really but you can use the general permissions post here
Age: born TA 130, at current pull point he's 2888, immortal elf who looks in his 20s (and still fairly young, as elves go! Not even into his third millenium yet)
Gender/Sex: Male
Appearance: Elladan is one of the twin sons of Elrond and Celebrian, and is, for all his rather mixed bag heritage, very Noldor in look and attitude. "So much alike were they, the sons of Elrond, that few could tell them apart: dark-haired, grey-eyed, and their faces elven-fair, clad alike in bright mail beneath cloaks of silver-grey" is their description in the books. They're not so tall as some of their Noldor kin (Aragorn, being the little tree that he is, is probably of a height, if not, to their very great dismay, slightly taller) but they are at least 6ft plus. this artist probably has my favourite versions of them.
History: Elladan and Elrohir are born TA 130 to Elrond and Celebrian, and presumably have a fairly idyllic childhood, growing up in a long period of peace. Erestor and Glorfindel are likely their teachers and in TA 241 they are granted a baby sister - Arwen. As they grow they spend a lot of time with the Dunedain Rangers, and in TA 2059 their mother Celebrian is captured by orcs. They save her, but she is so badly wounded that she Sails. In grief and rage, the twins turn and spend the next several centuries fighting and hunting every orc they can find. In TA 2993, however, the last heir of Isildur is left fatherless at a very young age, and unwell with the plague sweeping through the villages. It is decided that the best solution will be to hide him - so the twins escort his mother and the child back home, to Imladris. The child's name is changed to Estel as a safety precaution, and suddenly, the twins have a younger brother. They are Estel's playmates and guardians and later his teachers, and it is likely they went with him when he returned to his people as Aragorn, at least to be nearby when he needed help. During the War of the Ring, they were amongst those who scouted the lands to clear the path for the Fellowship, and they rode with the Dunedain to bring their sister's banner to Aragorn to come to the aid of Gondor. They were also there at her wedding to their foster brother, and when Elrond and Galadriel sailed, they remained behind, delaying their choice of immortality or mortality, and ruling in Imladris with Celeborn, their grandfather.
Personality: For all the twins are identical in face, they were likely not so in personality, as reflected in their names. 'Elladan' means 'Elf-Man', a reference to his peredhil heritage, but also a pointer as to his inclinations. Probably, Elladan identified stronger with his mortal heritage - faster to temper, but also to forgive, more passionate, impetuous and impatient than his timeless kin. Born in a time of peace, he came to war late, but by all suggestions he took to it well, and threw himself wholeheartedly into it. He has a temper, and can hold grudges. He is sometimes considered the elder twin (his name is usually mentioned first) which probably produced a sense of responsibility. He hides his pain beneath smiles and jokes. He is devoted to his brother.
Abilities:
Standard Elf Abilities:
(1) immortal (by which we mean: does not physically age, and not: cannot be killed)
(2) better senses than humans (sight, hearing, smell)
(3) better endurance than humans, but less than your typical full-blood elf
(4) very light footed (walks on snow)
(5) something almost like telepathy-but-not-quite
(6) glowing
(7) talks to trees/animals/rocks/everything-basically
Other:
(1) a warrior - probably very similar to the Dunedain, considering that he hung with rangers, and perhaps a little old fashioned, considering Glorfindel - swords & bows
(2) basic (and probably not all that basic considering Dad) battlefield first aid
Inventory: His armor, a sword, a bow & full quiver, a silver-grey cloak closed with a star pin
Anything else: not really!
