Middle Earth Ranger Forum

Hello rangers.

My Name is Dennis but i go by Asbjorn(God bear in old norse) and i think it is a fitting name for me because i am 6,2 and weigh 120kg(260 pounds) and have a really bulky physique.
I lost my sight in my left eye last year to a disese so i have been on sick leave for the last 9 months.
I dont have my character completely flushed out yet but with just one eye who dosent think pirate, i have some of the core features worked out atleast.

He will be based around a project boat i bought last week and will be kind of a viking living in the south part of middle-earth and will patrol the south coast.
The idea is that he will be using a viking axe and boar spear but further than this i havent cone yet so if you have any suggestions they are more than welcome.


This is the project boat i was talking about.


Sorry about my english im from sweden.

Welcome!

Welcome! Honestly, with a personal backstory like that, I bet you’d make a RAD Beorning!

Welcome! That's a gorgeous looking craft. What's the length?

I'll echo Manveruon, it sounds like you might be physically suited to a Beorning persona. We can always use more folks portraying watermen in Wilderland.
If you do want to go ahead with something more 'southern', then you would be looking at either a Gondorian or a Corsair of Umbar impression...a 'Viking' would not be a Middle-earth character type ; )

Welcome to the forum ! Your English is fine so don't worry about it. There is a lot of things you can do with that boat. Post pictures as you work on it.

Thank you so much.

Manveruon - when you told me about beornings and i did some research some thing just clicked in my head so now i have written a whole back story to my alter ego i will be posting it soon.

Udwin - Its 6m or almost 20 feet it will become a project for the winter when the engine is going out and it will become a sailing vessel

Nice! Yeah, Udwin portrays a Beorning as well, and knows AAALLLL about their culture and history, etc. so if you ever have any Beorning questions, he’s your man for sure!

Ive posted a bit of my origin story over at the bard stage:)

Welcome to the Forum

You have some awesome ideas, and I can't wait to see more of that boat

I've been looking for a hull like that for YEARS now to re-fit as a square-rig...I absolutely cannot wait to see what you do with it!

Welcome!

Welcome Asbjorn!

Thank you so much.

Greg - Found it last week for 5000kr(550 dollar) and i will probably make it a sprit sail with a bom.

Welcome!

thank you TaylorSteiner:)
