BROTHERS OF GONDOR INFO 2
Here's Part 2 of my main characters over the entire fanfic spanning all 3 films. This post will outline the details of and the similarities and changes made to the next 9 characters. Here we go!
Bilbo Baggins
Bilbo teaches Frodo a few more practical skills
He puts focus on languages and teaches Frodo all the elven he knows and what dwarvish he learnt when with Thorin's Party
Bilbo also teaches Frodo some sword combat, using Sting and a dwarven short sword given to him by Dwalin
Bilbo is delighted to see Dwalin again, tearfully embracing him and the two bond as survivors of Thorin's Party
Bilbo has managed to give up and forget his love for the ring by the time he leaves for The Grey Havens
Bilbo is asexual and aromantic, explaining why he never married and settled down
Tom Bombadil
Tom Bombadil is a character from the books who was cut from the movies
He's a strange and quirky character who is supposedly immortal and was alive before Sauron reigned over Modor
In this AU he fills his book role of both giving the hobbits their barrow-blades and journeying to Rivendell with them
Tom will see The Fellowship off from Rivendell
He will later join the party of fighters who journey to Helm's Deep
Tom will go from Helm's Deep to fight at Pelenor Fields and The Black Gate
Tom will have the face claim of Anthony Hopkins
Smeagol/Gollum
Smeagol will be even more manipulated by Gollum
Smeagol will be the nicer guy trying to give up the ring
Gollum will be the twisted psychopath who will kill anyone for the ring
Smeagol does take control in the same scene as the movie
The Ithilien Rangers cause the Gollum personality to re-emerge again
The way they die is different (no spoilers)
Arwen of Rivendell
First off she's much more involved
Arwen uses she/they pronouns
Arwen is a warrior elf and a highly trained one at that
Arwen is there at Helm's Deep and joins Aragorn going forward
Arwen goes with Aragorn into the mountains to find the ghost army
Arwen and Aragorn are coronated as King and Queen of Gondor together
Arwen stays in Gondor after Aragorn dies seeing to her family as they grow
Éomir captain of Rohan
Éomir is a lot more sure of himself
He steps up into his duties as heir to the throne of Rohan
He knows and respects Faramir when they meet in the plains of Rohan
He leads the Roherim to Helm's Deep, Pelenor Fields and The Black Gate
You'll see him step up to take the throne of Rohan
Éomir is gay and ends up with Faramir
Yes fuck the haters I'm adding gayness to Lord of The Rings
Éowyn shieldmaiden of Rohan
Firstly, the shieldmaiden's are a actual trained woman fighting force
Éowyn is lesbian and uses she/they pronouns
They're kinda like valkyries from norse mythology or The Dora Milaje from Black Panther (with Éowyn being like Okoye)
Éowyn and the shieldmaidens are on the front lines at Helm's Deep
She and her warriors journey to Pelenor Fields and The Black Gate to help free Middle Earth
Éowyn ends up staying in Gondor with her wife (more on her later)
Dwalin of Erebor
Dwalin is one of the survivors of Thorin's Company
Dwalin is bisexual and married Bifur
He stays in Erebor with a legion of dwarves
Arwen sends word not just to Lothlorien but to Erebor as well
Dwalin (and another) as leader(s) of the dwarves arrive at Helm's Deep with The Roherim to attack the orcs
Dwalin leads the dwarves in subsequent battles
Dwalin survives to journey back to Rivendell and be reunited with Bilbo Baggins
Glóin of Erebor
Glóin is the other of Thorin's party that still lives
He attends The Council of Elrond and sees his son Gimli off
Glóin returns to Erebor and with Dwalin prepares the dwarves for battle
When word arrives, Glóin and Dwalin lead the dwarves into battle
The dwarves under Glóin and Dwalin act as warriors and weaponsmiths, bringing dwarf made weapons to the struggling allies
Glóin doesn't go to Rivendell at the end and thus is not reunited with Bilbo
Erymir daughter of Denethor
This is my OC for this AU, using the faceclaim of Angelina Jolie as she would've been the right age for the role I have her in
Erymir takes Faramir's place as Captain of The Rangers and is the one to encounter Frodo, Sam and Smeagol/Gollum
She's a lesbian and also uses she/they pronouns
Erymir is kinder and more merciful to Smeagol/Gollum then Faramir was
Erymir escorts Frodo and Sam away and leaves her soldiers with Smeagol/Gollum
The soldiers are cruel to Smeagol bringing out the Gollum personality
Erymir initially takes the ring from Frodo for the journey from Ithilien to Osgiliath, but gives it back to Frodo after hearing how it corrupted Boromir
Erymir is injured trying to retake Osgiliath and like Faramir in the movie is almost burnt
She recovers from her injuries slightly faster and rides out to The Black Gate for the final battle
Erymir ends up marrying Éowyn and they stay together until Éowyn dies
As Erymir (and her brothers) are descended from The Dunedain (through their mother) she has a longer lifespan the others
Erymir as a ring bearer (although briefly) journeys to The Grey Havens with Legolas and Gimli after Éowyn dies
And that wraps up the next nine characters I've designed, edited and changed for this AU. The last nine of them are left and then actually writing the damn thing. Anyway hope y'all enjoy

LOTR K-8 field trip AU
The hobbits are all fourth-graders, Frodo just got a family heirloom (his uncle's ring) and keeps checking to make sure he still has it. Sam brought a ton of snacks in his backpack that he planned on sharing with Frodo and ended up sharing with everyone. Merry and Pippin are Frodo's rich cousins who have iPhones even though they're like, eight and are completely inseparable little bringers of destruction (to Mr Elrond's endless misery).
Aragorn and Boromir are both eighth graders who are kinda low-key frenemies, but usually get along ok, just don't leave them alone for too long. Boromir's little brother, whose in fifth grade, is the light of his life and follows him closer than a shadow. At recess they're usually reading together or playing soccer. Boromir also kind of adopted Frodo and he and Faramir love messing with each other, but they'll always have each other's backs when it comes down to it. Aragorn is a little bit emo and only wears black, he's had a crush on Arwen since forever and writes awful poetry about it.
Legolas and Gimli are high schoolers volunteering for service hours who are Totally Not A Couple, in fact, they Hate each other's Guts! Just like their fathers before them! Legolas goes to a private art school called Lorien High and Gimli is a football star at Erabor Tech. They went to the school together and they've been on this trip at least five times.
Gandalf is the long-suffering chaperone who's already sat on three tacks and a woopie cushion today, he's a bad influence and he knows wayyy too much about the fish.
They're going to an aquarium, after a three hour bus ride in which Faramir got on crying with a bruise on his cheek and Boromir looking about ready to kill someone, Legolas and Gimli almost kissed once and fought twice, Pippin stole Gandalf's hat and Merry took Legolas's left shoe. Aragorn spent the entire ride staring at the back of Arwen's head and Sam fell asleep on Frodo.
Galadriel is the weird gift shop owner who they run into halfway through the tour after Gandalf falls and has to get checked out by the nurse. She also, knows way too much about fish, turns out all the lights to teach the class about bioluminescent algie, and, because she (somehow) knows Gandalf, gives all the kids free stuff.
They run into Éowyn and Éomir a little after that, Éomir's in sixth grade, Éowyn's in fifth, and they're both obsessed with horses. They're from another school and they got separated from their class after their cousin Theodrid wandered off. Éowyn wants to be a cop, Éomir really, really doesn't want her to.
Gandalf ends up showing back up by saving Merry and Pippin from being lost forever in the kelp forest exhibit. There's a weird guy covered in fake kelp who somehow also knows Gandalf, ends up carrying them out on his shoulders (he's huge and they love him).
There's no ring, there's no war, no one dies and somebody calls child protective services.
