Character Introduction / Mod Kin Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Dwalin

MOD: Hunter

 

Dwalin was the first born son of the King’s Advisor Balin.   His father raised him to learn the difference between a King of the people and greedy bastard.   When he was six years old, Thorin was born.  He took one look at the baby and knew what his father meant.   From that moment on he dedicated his life to his king.

He taught the kid to fight.

He got the kid out of trouble.

He cursed the day Thorin grew bigger and taller than him, and he was one of the biggest in Erebor.

He stood by and watched as Thorin made a deal with the dragon, then challenged Thror.   He smiled when the old bastard realized the dragon wasn’t coming to save him, and Thorin was going to kill him.

He smiled brightly when Thorin married, mourned with him when she died giving him two beautiful strong sons.

Thorin had laughed when Dori had yelled at him, ready to deny his offer of marriage to her youngest sister Ori.   Mainly because every one knew Nori the middle brother, and him were ‘close’.

He loved his wife, was deathly afraid of his sister in law and ignored Nori’s ability to get in and out of trouble.

His world shattered when some warlord showed up demanding tribute, and without hesitation killed Thorin in front of them.   He swore to Fili he would seek vegence, only to be shocked when the young new king told him Thorin was alive … in a way.

Before they could even figure out what was going on, the warlord was back and the village was destroyed.   There were thirteen of them, he was the lucky one that had his whole family.   Thorin held him as they buried Balin on the road.   When they met Bilbo Baggins he knew the look on his friends face, something he hadn’t seen in decades.

Once they got to Builwyf, and everything was explained about Vampires, he had contemplated getting Turned as Thorin would need him, but then the warlord showed up with his horde.   He still ended up Turned, but lost everyone in the process.

Character Introduction / Mod Kin Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Thorn Durin

Mod Kin Clan: Hunter

 

Thorin was the son of Thrain who was the son of Thror.   The king of an established yet unknown village of Erebor up in the mountains of Norway.

His grandfather Thror was not a kind man, and ruled his people with an iron fist keeping all it’s wealth to himself.  In one of his campaigns he brought home a wife for his son, Thrain.   Not soon after she gave birth to Thorin.   Thror was happy for a strong heir, especially after the disappointment of his own son Thrain.

She raised her son to be strong, caring, and treat all with kindness.   It was soon obvious Thorin took after his mother, in all things.  He had her dark hair, strength, determination, and as he grew she would smile and tell everyone he took after his grandfather.  She gifted Thorin, her grandfather’s sword – Orcrist.  A weapon that had been passed down, and made of metal Thorin had never seen.

Thror soon realized that the woman he brought back was turning his people against him, and had her killed, along with his useless son.   He set out to raise his grandson to be a strong King, never seeing that by the age of twelve Thorin was already plotting his fall.

Thorin made a deal with Smaug, offering up a crystal that was a family heirloom from his mother’s side.   Smaug agreed to back Thorin, and at age sixteen he challenged Thror for the throne.   In the end, Thror was dead and Thorin was crowned king.

He married not soon after, but tragically lost his wife in childbirth.  She gave him two beautiful sons, Fili and Kili.

For the next twenty years Erebor prospered.  Thorin made good alliance with other villages, trading their minerals and weapons for food and grains.  It wasn’t until a warlord showed up demanding retributions that they lost everything.

Thorin ended up Turned, his family trying to figure out how to best handle this new situation.  Then days later the warlord’s horde ransacked the village destroying everything and everyone.

Character Introduction / Mod Kin Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Bilbo Baggins

Mod Kin Clan: Member

 

Bilbo Baggins was the only child of Belladonna and Bungo Baggins.  He learned his adventuring skills from his mother and farming skills from his father.

He inherited Bags End when he was sixteen, after a horrible winter that had killed almost a third of the small village of the Shire.   Instead of selling it or worse marrying the neighbors daughter Lobelia, so they could get their hands on his farm, he made it prosper.

He knew he was the talk of the village as he decided not to marry, and had plans to give the land to his neighbors the Hamgees.

Then one day his world changed, when a group of refuges landed on his doorstep.   He heard them asking for help at the town center but no one wanted anything to do with them.  Bilbo refused to let them wander off without food and rest.   He would tell you he fell for Kili and Fili first, and then young Gimli.   When they stated their father couldn’t enter his home as he was to tall, he couldn’t believe it so made a plate of food and marched to the barn to give the inconsiderate bastard a piece of his mind on being a gracious guest!  Only to realize that yes Thorin couldn’t enter his house as he was huge!  Bilbo wasn’t small but he felt tiny compared to him.

They ended up staying a week, and Bilbo spent all the time with Thorin.  He hated the idea of them leaving, and contemplating running off with them, but new his duty was his farm.   Only for fate to step in, and they all had to flee as the Shire was destroyed.

It was on the trip he learned about Erebor, the dragon Smaug, and the fact Thorin was technically dead.    Once they arrived and met Builwyf so many of his questions were answered.   He knew he belonged to Thorin, so took Gran’s offer to be Turned.

Character Introduction / Mod Kin Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Kili Durin

Mod Kin Clan: Hunter

 

Ho

Kili was the second born son of Thorin Durin.   He was born 15 mins after his brother, and is the reason his mother didn’t survive.   His father never held it against him, never made him feel anything but love.   But when some of the older lords didn’t like what Thorin was doing they made sure to hit home on Kili.  Though usually it didn’t end well for them.

As he wasn’t the first born, he had a tiny bit of leeway.  And used every inch he could get, including getting his brother into trouble and always out of it.  He took up archery, and became a hunter after a while, able to track reindeer for miles and drag it back home for the village.

He met Tauriel when he was sixteen, everyone considered it fate as Thorin had married their mother at the same age.   They had waited for a couple of years, before getting married.  It was a cause of celebration for the village, and one of the happiest days of his life.

Six months later his world was destroyed when a Warload came into Erebor demanding tribute.   Kili was sure he screamed when his father fell,  and hadn’t stopped until Gloin dragged him out of the throne room.   He pulled away from the warrior and ran down the corridors not wanting to believe his father was gone.

It was Fili who found him stating their dad was alive but something was different.  Kili was the one who had no doubts that the man in front of them was their father.  His eyes were warm and filled with love when he looked at his sons, it was their father and he would face off with anyone who didn’t believe him.

And just when he thought his world was righted, the warlord attacked the village.   One of the first to fall was Tauriel, she fought like the warrior she was, trying to save as many woman and children as she could.   Fili pulled Kili away when she fell, but it was Thorin who lifted him up and fled the village.

There were thirteen of them who survived.   Eleven by the time they met Bilbo.   Kili thought maybe they would finally find rest when got to Builwyf but they were followed.  In the end, there was five left.   He had thought to embrace death, but while lying there next to his brother, he realized he didn’t want to leave his family behind.   So when his father asked – he said yes.

Sylum Inspiration: Fili Durin

Mod Kin Clan: Hunter

 

Fili is the first born son of Thorin, he’s older than his brother by 15 mins.   He knows his mother died when they were born, and that he has her coloring and smile.   His father also says her temperament, slow to anger but get out of the way when it happens.

He remembers always following their father around, learning about taking care of the people.   He was told stories of his great grandfather, and knew that he never wanted to be like him.

As he was the oldest he was expected to take over, it wasn’t something he wanted but knew his duty.  Kili teased him but always supported him, even backed him when he argued with Thorin about finding a wife.   Fili had figured out early on that he wasn’t interested in woman, but knew at one point he was going to have to marry.  He just hoped Kili popped out grandkids first.

Then one day a warlord came through demanded tribute.   Thorin had refused,  the warlord attacked, but was shocked at how well Thorin fought.  His father was a formidable warrior, and well huge.

Fili watched in horror when the warlord killed his father.   Fili was held back by Dwalin as he screamed and lurched for the murdering bastard.   They moved their father’s body to his chambers, Fili refused to leave his side.  He was the first to notice that the wound was healing and his father was waking up.

Fili was relieved and terrified.  They soon figured out that Thorin wasn’t different just well ‘dead’.   They didn’t have time to contemplate it when the village was attacked and they barely escaped the destruction.

There were thirteen of them who survived, and that was the first time Fili was introduced to Smaug, and had first idea of what his father had become.

They travelled south, coming onto a small village when they asked for help they were denied, but Bilbo Baggins still took them in, it was obvious the farmer had been smitten with their father.   What had shocked Fili & Kili was that their father was smitten in return.

Once they arrived at the sanctuary, they learned about Vampires.   Fili wasn’t surprised Bilbo was his father’s Mate.  It gave him hope that his father wouldn’t be upset about his own inclinations.   Then the warlord showed up and everything went to shit.
