Elvish: Elrohir Elensar

Hobbit: Drogo Hamwich of Buckleberry Fern

Orc: Shaataz, the villainous - Uruk of Mordor  
Ah. Well, I used to be known as Drogo, but when I came of age, I hoofed it over to the recruiter’s office, just down the road from the Buckleberry Ferry. Odd setup they had there, with Good having a desk on one side and Evil on the other. Took me a while to sort it all out in my mind, but I finally decided that the forces of Good were bound to have better mess halls, and anyhow, them Elf babes! And anyhow, how believable would a hobbit look dressed up as an Orc? I ask you.

So… I’m just ‘El’ to my buddies. Well, I will be as soon as I have any buddies.
