#he's been kind of on standby bc helf trio loud

[aurore-parle-de-ses-idees]

may i ask for some hcs about your ocs? <3

for sure :D

hmmmm babyranger (who has. rapidly decided he's neither baby nor ranger but y'know) or dwarf buddy who i need to put in more Situations. maybe glainyn. maybe he can explain some things for me idk

-ok actually many parts of his timeline are not really set in stone atm

-his family removed to the iron hills after smaug captured erebor. his immediate family didn't *fight* in the sixth war, but may have followed the haban'akkâ as armorers n such. still playing w him having a half-sibling in one of the other houses

-glainyn saw the battle of five armies, but he was real young still; his only real job was to run messages. he'd started some sort of proper warrior training, but wasn't anywhere near the thick of things

-when his family returned to erebor, glainyn ended up part of one of the local like. guards in training units i have so much more to research and/or flesh out for this one lmao

-ends up guarding ravenhill sometimes as part of the rotation. dís invites him in one day when it's raining super hard. they end up getting along pretty well, actually, and she teaches him a bit about Politics™️ and a bit of how to talk with the ravens. he ends up knowing lots of things he honestly probably shouldn't, but he knows how to keep his mouth shut. he also has Opinions on lots of things, but he keeps his mouth shut about those, too

-he's the guy who always has weird but useful tools in his bag. 'hey glainyn, dyou have any-' 'yes'

-not entirely sure yet if he's closer in age to bósi and brogur or bori and bróin (and durin, maybe). he goes w brogur and bróin to the blue mountains to ask for anyone who's willing to join the iron garrison- he's there as a guard, having been firmly recommended for something more exciting than hanging out at ravenhill by dís herself several years ago (despite his protests)

-he knows more than most about balin's company, and about the last messages dís got from them. he doesn't really bring it up; everyone is either too caught up in the fantasy of reclaiming khazad-dûm to listen or already wary enough

-they keep getting more problems thrown at them, and he keeps not really saying anything, not until things go really to shit and he finally snaps and shouts until someone actually listens

-this is... tentatively around the time est goes to beg help from lothlórien. starts getting into the more fucked up parts of foundations of stone, and develops a mildly unsettling fascination with the assorted nameless, and also rapidly loses his patience with everyone insisting they can keep ahold of things

-he takes charge of enough in the flight from moria (and enough other people die) that he gets effectively promoted to captain. proceeds to stop giving much of a fuck about things like 'you maybe shouldn't talk to your prince like that' or 'this is maybe not the time to tell people in charge exactly how stupid you think they're being'

-he understands the politics, has run out of patience for the politics, and left his filter somewhere near rushdurinul. idk how much of the iron hills/ered mithrin quests he does (besides probably the howling pit) yet, but he sure makes some interesting choices in gundabad/elderslade

-(i think he goes down in zul-mazal w durin)

-I've got lots still to do with him. it would be easier if i didn't go into autopilot the second i set foot in moria tho lol
