Character Name: Oropher

Race: Elf (Greenwood)

RP Experience: Thane of a hold on TOS. played alot of rp in real life too.

Lore: Once one of the Sindar of Doriath who after the War of Wrath refused to depart Middle-Earth and instead went east over the Blue Mountains. After a long journey he came across Greenwood the Great where elves of Nandorin descent lived. There he was warmly welcomed. He soon gained the respect and trust of his kin and was voted to lead them gaining the title of King of Greenwood. He wasn't very fond of his mountain dwelling neighbours, the dwarves of Khazad-Dum. He found them unpredictable.Several times he moved his capital, to get 'out of range' of the dwarves.Although he and his people had nothing to do with other peoples of middle earth. He understood that there will never be peace till the last of Sauron is defeated. After facing many struggles, battles and wars, Oropher grew very protective of his home and people, always making sure he has guards patrolling every part of Greenwood. He spent much time with his son, Thranduil, teaching him everything he knew, from how to use a bow and blade to how to rule. One night  Oropher's wife went out to the borders of the Greenwood, Oropher being protective as usual ordered hid best warriors to accompany her and keep her safe. Several hours after she was meant to return Oropher grew anxious. He ordered all his guards to go out an search for her. After several hours they returned. Carrying Oropher's wife in their hands. Oropher fell to her and wept. He was full of grief. He was depressed. He sat on his throne for days giving almost no signs of life.His hatred to orcs grew fierce. But with time he got better, he still couldn't forget what happened that night, but he could deal with it. He tried to forget by destroying all her belonging, all signs that she ever existed. However his young son didn't understand it, he didn't understand what death was, what it was like to die, so he soon forgot. Oropher continued teaching his son and remembered his duties. But since then he changed, he was cheerless, mournful and more careful, but also peaceful.

Traits: Alert, careful, caring, protective, peaceful, proud.

I am a fair and honest player. I am quite commited in studying Tolkien's work so playing a lore character would not be hard.The main reason I would like to apply for the character of Oropher is because of the interesting lore, reading so many of Tolkien's books and such I find Oropher and his elves quite interesting, I also think a character such as Oropher would make a nice addition to the server making it feel more like second age. I am also experienced with the mod and I'm a pretty good builder which would make building lore structures easier. Finally thank you for taking the time to read this, have a nice day.
