LOTRO

For my Lord of the Rings Online(LOTRO) toon, I decided to choose the race elf. The reason for this decision is mostly because my favorite character in the Lord of the Ring movies is Legolas. I like the way elf’s are portrayed in the movies so I figured it would be cool to be an elf in another world.

As my class I chose the hunter. I like the particular set of skills the hunter has for example, “master of the bow”, “firing arrows to devastating effect” and “luring targets into traps to hinder them, giving the hunter time to use their bows to deadly effect”. This stealthy killer is exactly the type of toon to fit the player type I would like to be.

According to Bartle’s player types, I see myself being a killer. Not an evil killer though, I would kill for fun and for a purpose. I will only kill when I am annoyed or feel threatened. I see my character being a sort of vigilante killer, not a menace. At the same time that could change rapidly, for nevertheless my player type will be the killer.

I do not quite know how envision myself in this virtual world yet. I know I will get a kick out of being able to fire the bow and arrows in the game and kill, so my playing will emphasize the usage of my weapon and skills. I am very excited though, to embark on this journey in my new life.
