OOC: Biography and links to other bios!
Continued from Erestor's profile page, this is the more official
Name: Erestor
History: Erestor was one of the elves of Rivendell; chief counselor of Elrond. Erestor attended the Council of Elrond on October 25, 3018. He did not support the idea of destroying the Ring, and suggested instead if Tom Bombadil could be called upon to help, or whether the Ring could be sent to him for safe-keeping, but that option was rejected. When it seemed clear that destroying the Ring was the only option, he stated:
Personality: He's one of those intellectual, "can't be rushed" types. He's also very accustomed to speaking his mind on a great many matters via his advisory role. He has a great love of lists, politeness, and neatness. Generally, he comes across as very put together and capable, almost unflappable. The truth is, though...he can get cranky. The crankiness truly comes to the forefront (via snappish snippy commentary) if he's being rushed, but - to date - he's never really ever lost his temper. Yet. Huge emphasis on the yet, because someday...when he cracks and flips his shit...it will probably be a magnificent explosion and melt down.
The Basics: He's a scholar, advisor, historian, scribe, 'tea' drinker (its always spiked with elven liqueur), makes some astounding oatmeal cookies and berry tarts, and is otherwise just your average obsessive-compulsive-about-cleanliness-a
PB: Conor Oberst
Hair: Dark Brown/Black
Eyes: Brown
Spouse: None. He simply hasn't bothered with it yet (or he's actually been oblivious to any flirtations even the OBVIOUS flirting) and Erestor claims to be in no rush toward any bonding. This may change, if someone can get his nose out of scrolls, writing things down, and acting the part of the uppity advisor.
Parents: Deceased, his father was one of the Noldo who followed Fingolfin, his mother was Sindarin. His father, being a historian and scribe, was a very very very late bloomer as far as finding a mate (who had to be his intellectual equal, no less). With the powers of two historian linguist scribe/library-whores combined...hello, elfling!Erestor. *facepalms*
Orientation: Surprisingly...Erestor's as straight as an arrow or a ruler. Its shocking, I know. He's much like those metrosexual men who date supermodels and actresses and spend just as much time fussing over their appearance, as girls do. Yet they're as straight as a yard stick. Otherwise, he'd probably have hooked up with Glorfindel, as much as those two bicker like an old married couple. Or, rather, its more like The Odd Couple, and Erestor would be Felix. Only they couldn't live together, sharing space. Ever. And it would make things weird, because Glorfindel is kind of like a that foster godfather that Erestor would rather forget, who was always galavanting about on fancy horses looking marvelous and being all HA HA at things...and Erestor hates galavanters and horses, equally. At worst, they're two elves that have to put up with eachother because they live in the same geographical location. At best, they're reluctant friends (on Erestor's part) and anything more than that would just get fuuuuunky. And maybe make his skin crawl.
History: His family once inhabited the area near Mirobel in Eregion. He was orphaned at a young age when his parents were killed by orcs, he's repressed his memory of that quite a bit, and was saved by some elves and toted off to Rivendell. There he was taken under Lord Elrond's wing, but was never the sort of Elf for prank-pulling or merriment, preferring instead to sort through and read the books in Elrond's library. He's been there - LITERALLY - ever since. He had not once left Rivendell, preferring instead to study and write incredibly long-winded text book tomes, and gradually became Lord Elrond's advisor, for his ability to be entirely reasonable and ponder things outloud.
Starting out (defunct game): Both Erestor and Glorfindel would likely be traveling with Arwen's entourage to Minas Tirith, for the coronation and wedding. Its the first time that Erestor's really left the relative safety of Rivendell and the library there. He's not a big fan of traveling, because he has a phobia of horses. Apparently one stepped on his foot and he's been adverse to riding one, ever since.
Hobbies: Being neat, orderly, and cleaning his room constantly. He's fond of tea (and wine) tasting, baking, organizing, writing, and reading things like encyclopedias and history books.
Favorite Place(s): He's a bit of a homebody type, so could happily stay either in the library or at home and be perfectly content. Going outdoors too much and too often, is not his idea of a great time. There's orcs, and dirt, and weapons, and mud, and battles, and blood...and he faints at the sight of blood, soooo...lets just not go there.
Likes: library books, scrolls, elvish cordials and wines slipped into his tea, daydream naps, squirrels, crows, rabbits, rational debates, calm discussions that will not eventually cause him to snap and speak in a tone which can make dogs howl in pain, from leagues an' leagues awaaaaaaaay.
Dislikes: Blood, guts, weapons, battle, and horses. Also isn't fond of dogs, cats, spiders, snakes, frogs, salamanders, grime, dirt, soot, char, mud, papercuts...the list could go on and on....
Weapon(s) of Choice: The pen is mightier than the sword. So is a few snippy, choice words. If all else fails? He has been known to weild a rather deadly letter opener. With that much pent up aggression, he'd probably snap and be rather handy with a dagger or two. He might not even faint until after he realized he stabbed something that got bleedy, too! :D
If this character was an animal, what animal would he be? A turtle. More specifically, a very old tortoise.

When it seemed clear that destroying the Ring was the only option, he stated:
"Thus we return once more to the destroying of the Ring," said Erestor, "and yet we come no nearer. What strength have we for the finding of the Fire in which it was made? That is the path of despair. Of folly I would say, if the long wisdom of Elrond did not forbid me."
