Description
Physical Description: Merridas (Merridas Rockfoot) is quite short, but tall for a hobbit, who usually wears his Dragon Scale armor (though he has been seen wearing other outfits when not in combat). He has light-green eyes, darkish-brown hair, and a face too good to turn down.
Personality Description: Generally a very happy hobbit, almost in every situation. However, get him mad, he enters a phase of blood thirst. He is only affectionate around Jumpingbean, and lowers his guard only when he knows she's safe. He loves good jokes and will join in the fun when it is a good time for that. When in combat, he changes into a cold-blooded, battle-hardened killer with sharp instincts. he is fond of dwarves and almost every single dwarf knows and likes Merri. While also being apart of the Ale Association, rather than the Inn League.
Backstory
Once a regular hobbit in the Shire who had no purpose of the world, his life was turned upside down when he heard of the great beauties of Middle-Earth, so Merridas wanted to go out and explore the world. His family, living in Rockfoot manor, didn't like the idea of this, but Merridas wouldn't like the idea to not go. His best friend Odoroc, went missing long when he was young, so one of his main quests is to seek for him in the great world.
Story
Clueless, confused, and struggling in fear, Merri leaves the Shire for the first time, unsure what awaits in the large world of Middle-Earth. Upon arriving in Bree-Town, he meets a man playing music outside The Prancing Pony. He decided to join in, and the man asked if he wanted to join his council, Merri agreed. Here he also has been taught skills of burglary, from great burglar trainers. One went by the name Riligond, who also served as a captain in war. Sadly, Riligond was killed during an attack on Bree by old fugitives, and this is how he met his new trusty dwarf companion Grimli.
He is awarded the Ceremonial Dragon-scale armor as well as the Ceremonial War-captains armor for his excellence. Even the Mathom Society gives in for his help, with the Mathom-hunters armor. He uses it to fight in battles and to defend himself against the enemy, which he will never fall to.
He and Grimli head out to fight in the Barrow-downs, to defeat many barrow-wights that have to be destroyed. He and his partner are lucky to escape to intense dark power. His kinship members warn him to not go back to fighting until you are surely ready, and Merridas waited.
Now beginning more and more quests, one quest that starts him out brings him to an orc encampment to kill an orc leader, where he does not hesitate to go to. Radagast the Brown had help from Merri to defeat dark spirits in the Lone-lands. Soon after, a Ranger tells him to go to the North Downs to hunt down orcs in Fornost. More rangers summon him, and he travels to more areas. Which leads him to Rivendell to group with Legolas. Here, they must fight out and defeat local trolls before Sauron can get hold of them. Fortunately, his friend Voto comes in and heals Merri back into the fight after he was struck down by the Eye of Sauron, which gave him physical and emotional pain.
This leads him into the Misty Mountains, where he needs to learn how to take the extreme cold temperatures. He fights unspeakable beasts and goblins in Goblin-town. Bringing him to Angmar, where the most strongest enemies await. It was very getting through the dangerous lands of Angmar, but he ended up passing through it.
Merridas begun helping the dwarves in Moria, while training is son Strohbo at the same time. One thing he wants, is to get into Rhovanion to see the other lands of Middle-Earth, which he did. He travelled to Lothlorien and finally saw the beauty of the other side of the world. He also went down the Wold. At the same time, Merridas decided to go up to Frostbluff to enjoy the winter activities there.
Merridas was gone for quite a while now, and decided to return to his home in the shire. But when he got back, the house broker locked his house and demands a fair amount of money in return to reclaim it. He asked his friend Fordwine in Bree to assist in the matter, and he does, giving him a good amount to pay off the expense.
Missing out on a few festivals while away travelling and on adventures, Merridas decides to sit back in his hobbit hole for a while, until he is ready to get back out there, in the real world. Though Merridas still travelled around the Shire lands, he normally went to Michel Delving every so often, because it is the closest town besides where he already lives. One afternoon, he went to The Bird and Baby Inn as he usually does every few days, and sees a familiar face at the end of the table. When he saw, he couldn't believe it, it was his lost friend Odoroc. He approached him happily and asked Odoroc where he was all these years. Odoroc tells him it's a good story for another time.
