Why I am doing this:

Ok so I was thinking about this after seeing somebodies comment on the server page. So if the server has giant flaming Balrogs and giant demonic creepy spiders who both are powerful, why not a wingless dragon since they are of equal power. So I thought I might as well apply for the most well known of the wingless dragons, Glaurung.

History:

After Melkors orc forces were repeatedly defeated by the Noldor he realized that Orcs alone would never defeat the elves. So he began to create other creatures until finally he created the first of a species that would terrorize dwarves, men, and elves for ages to come, Glaurung Father of all Dragons. Soon after his creation and in his youth Glaurung wanted to test his strength without Melkors permission. He burst forth from Angbands gates in 216 FA and wreaked havoc among the Noldor flinging them into chaos. But being in his youth Glaurungs scales were not hardened yet to he was pierced by many an arrow and sword. Fleeing back into Angband wounded Melkor scolded him for revealing himself to soon. But fortunately Melkors plans were not disrupted and his anger subsided. So Glaurung stayed in the halls of Angband for 2 centuries. Then Glaurung was released among with hordes of orcs Balrogs wargs and other monsters including his spawn.

I know Glaurung does other things such as Nargothrond and the tragedy of the Children of Hurin, but since none of these things have happened at the time of the server. I will leave them out for now.

Description:

Glaurung was large, very large. His eyes were an orange yellow color with black slits for pupils. His scales were a blackish grey color and he was very long. The scales on his back were a lot sharper and bigger. His fire was hotter than the pits of Angband and his teeth as black as night and serrated. He was very greedy and cunning. He had no wings but that didnt make him any less mighty.

Why me for Glaurung?:

I have always loved dragons, in fact a majority of books I read are about dragons. And unlike most people who would apply for him I have past experience playing as a dragon and know them well. I know how they should think, how they talk, how they fight, how the act. I believe I can do a good job playing Glaurung and really bring out the character. I also am a master strategist and am very cunning and I think in many I am dragonish in how I deal with problems.

What I plan to do:

I plan to obey my Lord Melkors every command from leading a war to shoveling warg crap. I will wreak havoc across the land (within the rules though obviously) and spread fear of Melkor amongst the people of Beleriand. At one point I plan to sack Nargothrond and any others who oppose Melkor.

​Why do I want to be Glaurung?:

​ ​I love dragons (if that wasn't obvious). I love Glaurung the most though and I want to see him played by somebody who is devoted to the character, respects it, and knows how to play it. I think I can do that effectively. Like I said above I am very dragonish in how I act. Ask anybody who has played with me, I often betray people, plot against them, I outsmart people sometimes (without them realizing it), and I am very greedy on servers to the point that I kill my own allies to get what I want. Much like Glaurung, although I won't be betraying Melkor, that would be a deathwish.

Model:

In regards to the model/morph I would use to play Glaurung I woulf use the crocodile model. Since it resembles some depictions of Glaurung and other winged dragons.

Gear:

In regards to gear for Glaurung I would wear a full set of utumno armor named Dragons Hide that would be enchanted with fire protection (If in a battle or I am burning down forests it will be annoying to get burned by my own flames. I would carry a utumno sword named Dragons Claw that would have sharpness knockback and fire aspect. I would also have an unenchanted utumno pike for range (representing how I could reach). I would also have speed for myself some that I can keep up with those on mounts since I won't be using one for myself.

Notes:

Thank you for your time in reading my application for Glaurung and I hope to see you soon on the server! Again I do realize dragons are banned, but I do think what I have proposed will make a powerful character like Glaurung fair. Thanks.
