The White City - A Lord of the Rings Roleplay

Hello all, Becker here! ^_^ For all those whom know me, i'm a huge LOTR fan and I also enjoy roleplaying within the lore and world of middle earth. So I thought 'well why not try something on here?'.. and so here we are. *Do note that this is my first RP that i'm leading so please feel free to do let me know of any improvements that I can add in. Also though I am a bit fan of LOTR, I don't know every single bit of lore xD* https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/lotr/images/e/e4/Minas_Tirith.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141228214636 The setting: The date is 22nd September 3019 (4th Age), five months since the Crowning of King Elessar. ( http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Crowning_of_King_Elessar ) and only half a year since the city came under heavy siege by the armies of Mordor. ( http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_the_Pelennor_Fields ) After the battle, the stench of death was heavy in Minas Tirith's air, and the Pelennor Fields lay strewn with bodies. But alot can happen in six months. The dead have long since been laid to rest and the walls, buildings and other damaged structures have been repaired or remade. Peace once more falls upon the White City and with it's new King, hopefully things may stay that way. You are now living within Minas Tirith's great walls. The scars from the previous battle still mark the walls and minds of those that continue to live there. To say that the city is thriving would be true, although the heavy loss of life suffered during the siege has made it's people wonder occasinally 'will our walls be breached again?' With the public's view worried about the state of the Cities' defences, King Elessar has sent out several messages and posters across the lands offering work and jobs for all races to assist in bringing the White City back to it's former glory.

Current occupancy (Within Minas Tirith): Owner of 'Odo's Herbs' Reason for moving to Minas Tirith (Work, birthplace etc..): Work Story (Here you are to write at least 100 words about your character's background): Odo was brought up in a peaceful corner of the Shire, where the days are long and quiet with little going on throughout the year. His mother and father worked and lived within a small herbalist shop that provided healing for those hurt (Probably the occasional wolf attack) or selling invigorating medicine to tired farmers and travellers alike. Upon reaching the age of 33 (A time of adulthood for most Halflings.) Odo began working with his parents at their shop, learning the family trade to which he enjoyed although seeing the same old faces, day-in, day-out started to slowly claw away at his sense of self. Ten years down the line and Odo couldn't take it anymore, he packed his things and travelled out from buckland, seeking a home of his own. Several years after that, he finally found a place to settle down. The white city, a place to earn a serious amount of coin and make a name for himself. After doing several shit jobs, Odo finally had the coin to open up his own Herbalist shop within the lower tiers of Minas Tirith.

*Another bright shiny day brings sunlight upon the White-City, Odo shields his eyes with one hand whilst turning over a sign on 'Odo's Herb's' Front door to read "We're open." He yawns slightly and reaches into a pocket to retrieve a pipe, he smiles fondly at it before placing it in his mouth and turns to lean against his shop's doorway. He reaches into another pocket to retrieve a match, he strikes it against a wooden chair outside and sits upon the chair whilst lighting some pipe-weed. He takes a dought from the pipe, letting the smoke slowly trickle out of his mouth* "Getting more and more expensive these days.. i've got to cut back on.." *He sighs, taking a few more doughts before snuffing out the burning pipe-weed, being careful not to lose any. He stands, stretches and yawns once more before heading back inside his shop and prepares for another day's buisness.*
