Featured Character: Aragorn
A: I am one of at least several hundred, unless there are more of us, who began in the groups of the now defunct AncientSites. Thusly my initial interest was in history, more especially ancient history, Hellenic/Hellenistic/Roman/Medieval primarily. But I am not limited to just history, but grew up on fantasy/sci fi, the myths and legends, Greek/Roman, Norse/Teutonic, Celtic, Arthurian & Charlemagne. Which lead me to Dungeons and Dragons, and from them, learned of the existance of JRR Tolkien and his books, which I finally managed to read when Ballantine's 1980s editions hit the bookstore we finally had. My history characters have had a few snags, as people stopped posting before the novels got started [I say several of you, at the least, have been a member of such a novel]. My biggest breakthrough here at Pan was after returning from a viewing of "The Fellowship of the Ring" [the local theatres had passed it along, I wanted one more viewing, at it was my birthday-used my birthday "loot" to pay for the trip, lol], when it hit me-I had not even tried being my favorite character from the movies and the books, Aragorn. The fact I have this name for the interview tells of my success. After a couple of months, I got "hired" to play Aragorn in the novel "The One Ring", and here I am, a year later, a featured character [Fantasy Genre] and now this interview. Q: I noticed you are a member of the novel The One Ring. Who is your favorite Tolkien charcter? Book? Would you tell us more about your character at The One Ring, and your story there? A: I have to say that my favorite character is Aragorn and the JRRT book is "Lord of the Rings". For those who are not familiar, Aragorn is the last heir of the High King Elendil, and thusly by blood and law, heir to the thrones of the kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor. For most of his long life [his family has elven blood and has existed for several thousands of years], he has trained for the day when the future of Middle Earth will come to a head, either to rid the land of the Dark Lord Sauron, or to succumb to his rule. One or the other, this will happen. Over his head is the knowlege that only with the help of the last heir can Sauron be defeated. He could simply settle down and live as his heart wished, but to do so would mean the end of Middle Earth for the good people who live in it. He has decided he must do his part, and has put aside his name, his life ambitions, honing himself to be prepared for the "Days of Doom". Currently within the story, he is known to most to be but a Ranger of the North, a sometimes aide to the wizard, Gandalf the Grey, with connections to the elf lords of Middle Earth, mostly a walking mystery. I think this will cover your question *s* Q: Now for the last question, I know that most women are dying to know...boxers or briefs? A: LOL I started not to answer this, but okay, briefs *S* And am single in RL. For those really interested, lets say that Viggo Mortenson, who plays my character in the movies, is six months older than I am. |
