Thread:The Second Age Server/@comment-26694486-20161223031737

IGN: CHead2000

Character Application: Glorfindel

Experience: TOS, BlazingDave's LotR Roleplay Server, the Lord of the Rings (Books and Movies), the Hobbit (Book and Movies), Currently Reading the Silmarillion

Character Description: Glorfindel was an Elf belonging to the Noldor tribe up until the First Age. Born in the Years of the Trees in Valinor, Glorfindel is one of the oldest living beings in Middle Earth. He followed the leader of the Noldor, Turgon, to Middle Earth to build Gondolin, one of the greatest cities Arda had ever seen. When Gondolin fell, Glorfindel led the remaining survivors through a secret escape tunnel. However, when the survivors were ambushed by a Balrog, Glorfindel sacrificed his own life to kill the Balrog and save his people. After this unfortunate event, Glorfindel's spirit passed to the Halls of Mandos, much like any other child of Iluvitar, until sometime around the Second Age (approximately 1600 S.A.) when he was reincarnated and sent back to Middle Earth with the Istari. His mission was very similar to that of the Five Wizards: assist the Free Peoples of Middle Earth in their struggle against the forces of Sauron. Although he would eventually assist Frodo Baggins in the Third Age, that is not important due to the fact that this server is set in the Second Age.

Starting Equipment: Gondolinian Helmet, Gondolinian Chestplate, Gondolinian Leggings, Gondolinian Boots, Gondolinian Sword, High ELven Bow, 64 Arrows, 64 Lembas, 1 Saddle, 64 Gold Coins (for hiring units, and thus having a larger impact on assisting the Free Peoples)

Special Abilities: Seeing as how Glorfindel was born in Valinor, it only seems reasonable that Glorfindel would be allowed to return to Aman from time to time. He would be aligned with good factions, and he would especially assist the Elves.

Anyway, that is my application, and I hope you will choose me as Glorfindel! Of course, all the starting equipment and special abilities can be subject to change as decided by you and the rest of the server staff.

Thank you!
