Name: Jax
Homeland: Anfalas
Description: Brown, shoulder length hair, clean shaven, around 6'.
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Weapons/powers/skills (optional): A longbow and arrows, with a shortsword as his secondary weapon.
History: Jax grew up just outside of Anfalas, with his parents and younger sister. His parents were killed, however, when Jax was 7, by a horde of Orcs that were rading his town. He escaped with his sister, and then lived inside Minas Tirith. Jax often took little adventures into Ithilien, where he was found by descendents of the Dunedain, who called themselves the White Company. After that, he traveled with them, soon learning their ways and fighting. He joined the White company by the time his training was finished.
Sample post (needs to be 2-3 paragraphs): Jax looked through the trees at the edge of a small cliff; him and his rangers were in positions all along the stretch of trees, both on the cliff, and on the other side of the pass, over 300 yards away. Scouts had reported a large group of Easterlings, and one Mumakil were moving to somewhere near Lebennin, and Jax's company was to stop them.

Jax's ears picked up a call from farther along the cliff; it meant that the Enemy was aproaching. The ground started to shake moments later, and a loud trumpeting from a Mumakil was heard. The Easterlings surround the Mumakil; the corrupted men looked weary from traveling such a long distance. Jax raised his hand; this signaled his men to prepare to fire. When the Mumakil went by Jax, he dropped his hand. Not even a second later, Easterlings were collapsing on the ground, dead, and Haradrim were falling off the Mumakil.

Its seems good. the only thing I noticed is that there may be a issue of him being "trained as a ranger" Rangers are more of the desendants of the DĂșnedain. The DĂșnedain were quite active before their numbers became few and they started being more of the wandering type. There isn't as many of them in Minas Tirith anymore. You could perhaps say he was trained as a archer in the Gondorian army? Here is some more information on them if you want.

hmm....maybe a Ranger of Ithilien, then?

Rangers of Ithilien are still DĂșnedain descentants. They just live in the south.

"During the Fourth Age, it is presumed that most of these men became a part of the White Company, the guards of Faramir, the first Prince of Ithilien."

If there is any left they aren't called Rangers. Just choose a different name and you should be fine.
