Carefree and somewhat reckless, Kíli has led a charmed and untroubled life. Handsome and physically able, Kíli possesses the invincible courage of youth. He is a skilled fighter and expert archer, having been trained with weapons from an early age. As one of the youngest of the Company of Dwarves, Kíli is determined to make his mark and prove his worth."</i><br /><br />from WETA: <i>"Youngest nephew of Thorin Oakenshield and brother to Fili, Kili the Dwarf joins the quest for Erebor out of a belief in his uncle and the righteousness of their cause. A principled, honest young Dwarf of warm humour and upright bearing, Kili is unencumbered by the worries and prejudices born by his elders in the Company of Thorin. He is quick to befriend Bilbo Baggins and trusts Gandalf the Grey’s choice to bring the Hobbit along. Sharp-eyed and swift-limbed, Kili’s skill with a bow is unmatched in the Company, and his swordsmanship is no less impressive. When tested against Goblins, Wargs or even Trolls, Kili’s mettle shines and his blade rings and flashes as he cuts down his foes. Though young and untempered at the quest’s outset, the Dwarf has been well trained and is as brave and loyal as any in the proud line of Durin."</i><br /><br />Aidan Turner's POV: <i>"Kili is a bit reckless. He’s maybe a bit too cool sometimes. But he’s super-psyched about going on this huge journey as he’s never been to war, he’s only heard stories from Thorin. The relationship between him and his brother Fili is almost like Prince William and Harry. I’m the younger one, so I’d be the Harry. He’s a bit more of the rebel, but he doesn’t want to let anyone down. He’s not as loyal maybe as Fili, but he’s still part of the troop and he’s committed and wants ultimately to reclaim Erebor again. They’re all super loyal, it’s one of the traits of the dwarves."</i></font> <br /><br /><center><img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/Anomini/gifs/tumblr_mzwsncVYjh1s8r3dxo1_250_zpsd3bdf81b.gif~original"><img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/Anomini/gifs/tumblr_mzwsncVYjh1s8r3dxo2_250_zps6f428e3c.gif~original"><br /><small>including:</small><br /><img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/Anomini/tumblr_mypc33Ui8D1qh3bjno6_r2_250_zps34ee82bf.gif~original"></center><br /><br /><br /><font face="trebuchet ms" color="#222222" size="2"><b>IN GAME HISTORY:</b> Kili and his older <s>pimplicious</s> brother <a href="http://24.media.tumblr.com/043ad2517c295e167136bda99245e78a/tumblr_mf4ubjhb1N1re3c2eo2_r1_500.gif">Fili</a> were born very close to the Scottish-English border, in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlisle,_Cumbria">Carlisle</a>. Their <a href="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/Anomini/hirsute-salma1_zpsff0e253b.jpg">hirsute mother, Dis</a> ("ITS HORMONAL"), single-handedly raised them since their incredibly Irish father had died in a mining related accident, just shortly after Kili was born. Luckily, she had the support of her brother and a huge, ginormous extended family. More so, she already had a very good job (as a brewmaster in a brewery, no less) which eventually allowed them to move to Orange, California when the boys were in their mid-to-late teens. The boys were like two fish out of water and it took some readjusting for Kili when he had to attend public schools. However, he quickly tackled that and <i>everything else</i> thrown his way, with all the grace of someone recklessly and repeatedly headbutting a brick wall. Which is fitting, because he is about as subtle as a sledgehammer.<br /><br />Indeed, young Kili was a fun fellow, but he was a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit reckless. He had grown up from a kid with innumerable scuffs and bruises, into a teenager with the occasional broken bones and gaping wounds. Before his senior year in high school, the brothers had taken up small game bow hunting in the hills of Southern Calfornia and Fili shot Kili in the foot with an arrow on accident, resulting in a retaliatory and deliberate foot shot from Kili, followed by the both of them having to limp out of there to the nearest emergency room. It didn't get any better as time went on, either. Eventually Kili grew up as someone that didn't have much sense of caution at all. He would willingly dive into a friend's brawls with a good natured smile and a clenched fist to a foe's face, and emerge looking much like he'd been on the best roller coaster ride ever and he wanted to turn around and get back on again, until he puked up the eight metric tons of hot dogs he gorged on before buying ride tickets.<br /><br />His mother worried with her long hours at at the brewery that she would come home to find at least one of her sons in pieces strewn across the front lawn. She tried to get Kili a job where she worked. It didn't pan out, since Kili and his brother had more of an adventurous spirit and Kili ended up drinking his weight in ale while on the clock...when he wasn't even legal drinking age, yet. By the time he was 21, <s>a still very much immature</s> Kili had worked in construction (he was great at pounding with hammers on nails or his fellow worker's hardhats!), but fell off too many roofs and was deemed a workman's comp hazard in his own right. Bam. Fired. He drove delivery trucks (too fast!), resulting in a pile of tickets and one massive fender bender. That fender bender resulted in Kili losing his driver's license for six months, the last half of 2013, due to reckless negligence. <br /><br />His brother gave him a bicycle, but Kili insisted they could get away with extreme downhill handlebar rides and both of them ended up in the hospital with the doctors having to stop their mom from slapping them upside their fool heads to knock some sense into them. They were too damn old to be grounded, so she issued them an ultimatum. As much as she loved them, Dis was sick of their shit. She had enough problems trying to keep up with her electrolysis and facial waxing regime, and they were getting too damn old to be pulling that gung ho crap. It was wreaking havoc on their health insurance bills. Either they get real jobs doing things they loved to do (like she was doing, thank you very much) and they <i>keep those jobs</i>, or they could move the hell out of <i>her</i> 'spare' bedroom and the basement, respectively. <br /><br />Bummer.<br /><br />So Kili is on the lookout for a job now, thank you. Fili can fend for himself for once, while they scramble to make sure they won't be losing out on all the free beer mom brings home with her, and end up sleeping in their cars.<br /><br /><b>Birthdate:</b> <a href="http://www.astrology.com/gemini-sun-sign-zodiac-signs/2-d-d-66941">June 18th</a><br /><br /><b>Age:</b> Currently?

<tr><td><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Scouting</b></font> - <font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1">Kili and Fili were known to be sent ahead to scout, together. This happens in the films and in the book. Just don't ask Fili or Kili to watch your ponies. They seem to incredibly bad at keeping a headcount. Or the ponies. They can't keep those, either.<br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Archery</b></font> <font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - Kili mainly fights with his dwarven bow at range. The bow seems to be known as his primary or favored weapon, which he has shown the most skill using, since Thorin asks more than once for him to shoot things. No one else gets ordered by Thorin (the magnificent) Oakenshield to shoot stuff, like Kili does. And yes, Dwarves in The Hobbit (book) do use bows and various other weapons in battle (surprisingly enough, warhammers aren't mentioned!)</font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Melee Combatant</b></font> <font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - While he is able to peck off targets at range and heavily favors using his bow, Kili - like most Dwarves - is equally good at close-quarters combat. He uses a sword, whereas most Dwarves prefer axes not only for weaponry but also for utility purposes when they are traveling for trade or other matters which require them to leave their mines or underground cities. Dwarves are excellent close-quarters combatants and have powerful arms, resulting in one helluva hurty or deadly swing. <i>Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!</i></font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Ladders</b></font> <font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - aren't just for climbing, but can become <i>ladder shield!!1!</i> Kili is an industrious critter when he's in a bit of a pinch.</font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Alcohol Tolerance</b></font> <font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - Dwarves are hearty folk with strong constitutions. Woe be it to the average human who tries to best them in a drinking contest. Somewhere in their stocky bodies, there's an extra liver or two to filter out all of that liquor they're able to drink and still be able to stand, drink, brawl, or throw food with some semblance of aim. That is not to say that they don't get rowdy or drunkenly go zzz or anything. It happens. And yes, it happens with Elves as well but they prefer some strong wine, since they are snooty pants.</font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Resistance</b></font> <font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - The Dwarves were created by Aulë to be strong, resistant to fire and the evils of Morgoth. They were hardier than any other race, secretive, stubborn, and steadfast in enmity or loyalty. They were generally less corruptible than Men. When Sauron attempted to enslave the Free Folk of Middle-earth using the Rings of Power, the Elves completely resisted his power (indeed, his hand had never sullied the Three Rings), while the Nine Rings utterly corrupted the Men who bore them into the Ringwraiths. In contrast, the Dwarves were sturdy and resistant enough that Sauron was not able to dominate them using the Seven Rings. At most, the Seven Rings sowed strife among the Dwarves and filled their wearers with an insatiable greed for gold, but they did not turn them into wraiths subservient to the Dark Lord, and he considered his plan to have failed. Sauron was furious at the Dwarves' resistance, spurring his drive to recapture the Seven Rings from them.</font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Long Lifespans and Disease Resistance</b></font><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - The lifespan of Dwarves was varied depending on their ancestry. The Longbeards were particularly long-lived, but by the Third Age their lifespan was diminished and they lived, on average, 250 years. Occasionally they would live up to 300 years of age, but such a phenomenon was rare, comparable to a Man living to 100. Dwarves were considered too young for heavy labor or war until they were around 30 years of age (hence the slaying of Azog by Dain Ironfoot at age 32 was a great feat). By the age of 40, Dwarves were hardened into the appearance that they would keep for most of their lives. Between the approximate ages of 40 and 240, most Dwarves were equally hale and able to work and fight with vigor. They took on the appearance of age only about ten years before their death, wrinkling and greying rapidly, but never going bald. Sickness was almost unknown to the Dwarves, as they were immune to human diseases. Corpulence, however, could effect them. In prosperous circumstances, many grew fat by the age of 200 and became physically inept.</font><br /> <br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Short Stature, Strength, & Endurance</b></font> - Despite being 4.5 - 5 feet tall, they were known for their strength and endurance in battle, as well as their fury, particularly when avenging their fallen kin, and for being some of the greatest warriors in all of Middle-earth. They fought valiantly in many wars and battles over the Ages holding axes. In appearance their more distinctive characteristic was their beard which they have from the beginning of their lives, male and females alike; and which they shave only in shame. Kili has very little beard that's grown in, showing he is younger than the others, and likely it is a source of Dwarven paranoia that it isn't growing in like it should. It's the human equivalent of suffering from male pattern baldness.</font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Crafty</b></font><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - As creations of Aulë, Dwarves were attracted to the substances of Arda and crafts. They mined and worked precious metals throughout the mountains of Middle-earth, but had a tendency toward gold lust, and committed their share of rash and greedy acts. Among these was the dispute over the Nauglamír, which led to the slaying of Elu Thingol and stirred up the initial suspicion between Elves and Dwarves to open hatred.</font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Fiercely Devoted</b></font><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - Dwarves are fiercely devoted to their children. In their desire for their children to grow up hardy and enduring, they may treat them harshly, but they will protect them at all costs. Dwarves resent injuries to their children and to their parents more than injuries to themselves.</font><br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>Dwarven Languages</b></font><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"> - The Dwarven language was created by Aulë, and was called <a href="http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Khuzdul">Khuzdul</a>. It was a strange language to Elves and Men, and few non-Dwarves learned it, because it was difficult. The Dwarves kept it secret, preferring to communicate in the languages of their neighbors. Only one Khuzdul phrase was well known to outsiders: the ancient battle cry, going back to at least the First Age: "Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!", which means "Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!". The Dwarves taught Khuzdul carefully to their children, as a learned language, not a cradle-tongue, and thus the language changed very little over the ages, unlike those of other races. True to the already secretive nature of Dwarves, they also devised a secret language of gestures to communicate between themselves in silence, the <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/quasikhuzdul/analysis-rationale/analysis-of-existing-words/iglishmek">iglishmêk</a>. This kept outsiders in the dark, even when Dwarves were speaking outloud. An entirely different conversation could be happening, simultaneously. <br /><br /><font size="2" face="georgia" color="#7292B1"><b>WALNUTS</b></font> - Obvious addiction and OT3 is obvious.
