Application: Barthas ING: _RiceBall_ Faction: Angband

Lore: Originally a peaceful Maiar, Barthas had always enjoyed the company of small mammals. However when Morgoth began to spread his influences, the great fear of Morgoth himself consumed him... thinking that if you can't beat the enemy join them and thus he joined the legions of Melkor. Down the line as Barthas began to fall in darkness he began to lose his fear of Melkor and even began to rejoice in evil tidings for he developed a love for power. As this happened Barthas' shape began to change, he slowly become degenerated and turned into a bat like creature later referred to as a Vampire. Barthas now lives in Angband under the service of his master. He still retains his ability with small mammals and uses this to control swarms of bats to aid him in battle.

Why I chose Barthas? Well I personally created Barthas and didn't see any other vampire characters where created and so thought it would be fun. Plus I personally think playing as a giant bat is kind of cool!

Why Should I be Chosen? Well I kind of created this character. I am also very knowledgeable in the mods we are using on the server. I also have experience in RP as I have been doing so since 2012. I have never been a leader in any server however I am usually second in command as in the One Ring server I was the Warlock of the Half-Trolls. I have played this mod since beta 23 in which period I joined the official server and made an attempt to become King of Dunland.

About Vampires: Vampires are mentioned in the Silmarillion as large bat like creatures under the service of Sauron and Melkor. Vampires are most likely Maiar that fell under the influence of Melkor. Sauron takes the shape of a Vampire at least once. It is keen to note that little to nothing is mentioned about vampires and only one vampire is actually named her name being Thuringwethil she is Sauron's personal messenger.
