20 questions Guess My Character

[DATo]

You posted just as I was editing my post to add "horror" *LOL*

WOW! I'm stumped. I don't read a lot of contemporary books. Sometimes the more popular ones. There are so many contemporary books that I'm sure I wouldn't guess it.

I was going to say Golum from The Lord Of The Rings

Luckily, it’s not super late where I am and I have a book edit due for an author so I’m at my computer...working on my paying editing job...not trolling forums...

Helpful(?) hint: it is a respectively popular fantasy.

I am going to back off to consider the clues and also to allow Gravy to offer some questions, but as Arnold said ... "I'LL BE BACK!"

*LOL*

[Gravy]

Is the character an elf?

Was the book published after 2000?

[DATo]

7) (Question) Is the character a machine of some kind?

(Guess) I know this is more Sci-Fi than fantasy but I'm just taking a shot.

Is the character HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey ?

[NL Hartje]

Gravy

The character is an elf.
The book was published before 2000.


DATo

The character is not a machine.

No, it isn’t Golem or HAL.

Actually my last question should have been the 8th.

9) Actually, I'm thinking that perhaps we have different ideas of the meaning of "contemporary" so I will just ask, was it written in the first half of the 20th century?

[NL Hartje]

9answer) No, it was not written in the first half of the 20th century.

[DATo]

10) Is this elf a warrior?

Guess : Legolas from The Lord Of The RIngs --- just taking a shot.

Tolkien wasn't published until slightly into the second half of the 20th century though he did write in the first half.

[Gravy]

I'm going to guess Drizzt Do'Urden?

[NL Hartje]

Congrats Gravy!

My character was Drizzt!


Who are these beasts considered my kin?
I see no amity or flickering soul residing within.

Drizzt feels unattached to the rest of his family who are heartless, cold rulers of a main house following the spider queen.

Only one beast is encouraged to befriend me,
Darker than all, but never to be free.


Drizzt's black panther companion, Guenhwyvar, is an astral tiger who returns to the astral plane to heal after battles.


Up, up, up we must go,
Blinded by the light of places unknown.

Drizzt and Guenhwyvar leave the underworld of the dark elves to join the daylight races.

[Gravy]

Yay!!!

[Gravy]

I can't think! Feel free to take my place!

[DATo]

Congratulations Gravy !!!! I was unfamiliar with the book and never would have guessed it. Nice work!!!

NL Hartje - Since Gravy wants to pass shall I take one, or would you like to go again?

[lbhatters]

Is it Joan of Arc?
