Lore:

Borlach was born to Bór the Faithful. He was a member of the House of Bór, the Easterlings who remained loyal to the Sons of Fëanor. While still a young man, Borlach, along with his father and his two other siblings, left from the east and settled in the plains of Lothlann in Beleriland after the Dagor Bragollach.

Borlach always found himself with a desire to dispel the foul creatures of Morgoth that always seemed to find their way towards his homeland. He fought tooth and nail and seemed to only be motivated by the wounds and scars that they inflicted upon him. His hatred for the Orcs and their twisted kin was rooted deep inside him, and he often had to be stopped by his father before he pursued packs of wargs alone to prove his worth. Borlach's drive to prove himself to his family would ultimately lead to his undoing.

Borlach had an uncanny sense for betrayal. His distant kin in the House of Ulfang had made him uneasy. They reminded him of the servants of Morgoth he so deeply hated, and he wished to not fight with them in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad which they planned to initiate with an attack on Angband. He marched with his fellow Easterlings and would have his predictions about Ulfang be confirmed shortly afterwards.

A great host of evil men surrounded the elven host and defeat seemed inevitable for the Host of Maedhros. There were more Men of Ulfang than Men of B ór, but Borlach refused to let himself be killed without a fight. Along with his father B ór and his brothers Borlad and Borthand, they slaughtered the sons of Ulfang in battle for their treachery. Despite this victory against the House of Ulfang, Borlach was killed along with his brothers and father in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, overcome by the forces of Morgoth that he despised so much.

Why should I get this role?

I enjoy the opportunity to take a relatively unknown character and make him my own. Many people apply for important lore characters, but I much prefer smaller scale characters that are unique and can be taken down their own path rather than a pre determined one. I have experience on other LOTR servers and I am a somewhat experienced leader, though Borlach is not the leader of his faction. My passion for roleplay means that Borlach will hopefully go from an obscure footnote in the history of the First Age to an interesting, dynamic character on the server.
