History:[/center]

Faramir was born in the year 2983 of the Third Age; his father, Denethor II, was a man of noble descent and the heir to the Stewardship of Gondor, ascending a year after Faramir's birth. Denethor had married Finduilas, daughter of Prince Adrahil of Dol Amroth; however, she died untimely when Faramir was five, and is said to have remained to him "but a memory of loveliness in far days and of his first grief".

After her death Denethor became sombre, cold, and detached from his family, but the relationship between Faramir and Boromir, who was five years older, only grew closer. The brothers greatly loved and highly esteemed each other, and neither in childhood nor in later years was there any jealousy or rivalry between them, even though Denethor openly favoured his elder son. Faramir was used to giving way and not airing his own opinions. Among other things, Faramir displeased his father in that he welcomed the wizard Gandalf who occasionally visited Minas Tirith. Being eager for knowledge, Faramir learned much from Gandalf about the history of the realm and about the death of Isildur.

Gondor had long been threatened by the nearby realm of Mordor, and in 3018 the Dark Lord Sauron began the War of the Ring, attacking the ruined city of Osgiliath that guarded the passage to Minas Tirith. Faramir and Boromir commanded the defence, and were among those few who survived when the eastern half of Osgiliath was captured and the bridges across the River Anduin were destroyed.

Faramir decided to journey to Imladris and seek advice of Elrond the Half-elven, but Boromir claimed the errand for himself, fearing for his brother, and was approved by Denethor and a council of the elders; Faramir remained to defend Gondor.

Role Play Sample: (This is from a Harry Potter role play)[/center]

Faith sat on the stairs outside of the apartment complex, looking toward the street. Next to her was a suitcase which housed her small amount of clothing, as well as her new robes and wizarding supplies. On top of the suitcase was her pet rat, Patches, sleeping quietly in his metal cage. She shook her legs anxiously in front of her as she waited for her ride to arrive. Today she was finally going to go to Hogwarts. Ever since she received her acceptance letter to Hogwarts, barely anything else managed to make its way into her thoughts. After receiving the letter, everything started to make sense. Her father always told her that she'd be able to be like him some day, and she kept remembering all of the times he would take her to the park and show her magic. He never told her the details, but he didn't need to.

Suddenly, Faith hear a very different sort of honking, and speeding around a corner came a large, tripe-decker bus. It came to a rapid halt in front of Faith and a man came out to meet her.

"Hello, you must be Faith Lenihan, I'm Corey. Alright, nice to meet you, get in!" the man said, pulling her up off the ground, throwing Patches' cage into her arms, and taking her suitcase himself. He practically picked her up and threw her onto the bus, so she hurried along and quickly sat down. The entire bus was completely empty, so there were many seats to choose from. Barely a second had passed after taking a seat did the bus take off at an extraordinarily fast speed.

"Hang on tight, little girl!" a shrunken head that dangled next to the little old bus driver shouted. It startled her. Never had she seen a talking shrunken head. After the initial shock, however, she smiled, and told herself that she better get used to seeing the bizarre. The man that called himself Corey attempted small-talk conversation with Faith, but mostly she ignored him and peered out the window.

In what seemed like no time at all, the bus came to another speeding halt. Faith looked around eagerly to see King's Cross Station outside her window. As fast as she sat down, she jumped out of her seat, being sure to grab the rat's cage on her way out. She was afraid of what was going to happen after she got off of the Knight Bus. She had received instruction to run through the wall between platforms 9 and 10 but she was still afraid that she was going to get lost and not make it onto the Hogwarts Express.

"C'mon, let's go!" Corey said, again almost dragging her into the station.

"You're coming with me?" Faith asked, frazzled.

"Just to make sure you get onto Platform 9 and 3/4 okay," he answered. "It's Headmistress McGonagall's orders."

They continued to scurry into the train station. Faith barely had time to look around in amazement at the beautiful architecture of the place. 'Wow,' she thought and smiled.

"Here we are," the man said, handing Faith back her suitcase. "Now, all you gotta do is run straight at the wall. Don't worry about it hurting, you'll go right through." Faith nodded. "Go on, then!" he said, pushing her forward.

With the rat cage in one hand and her suitcase being in the other, Faith moved toward the wall. She was half way to it before she picked up the pace into a light jog. She figured the faster the better, that way she had less time to think about it. As she passed through, she was motionless as she looked around in awe. The large red train puffed out smoke after a long, loud whistle. Parents and children moved about the station, saying their final goodbyes accompanied by hugs and kisses. Suddenly, she felt an overwhelming sensation of being alone, but was too occupied to linger on the feeling.

Faith didn't wait too long to get on the train. Even though students were still bustling about, she was afraid that the train was going to leave without her. The train wasn't yet packed, so it wasn't a challenge to find an empty compartment. She took a seat next to the window, sliding her suitcase underneath and setting Patches on her lap. She slipped her finger through the cage and stroked her rat. Anxiously Faith waited for the train ride to begin. Soon she would be off to Hogwarts.
