IGN - Dr_Taco

Character Name - Penlod

Race - Elf

Faction - Gondolin

Role - Ruler of the Houses of the Pillar and the Tower of Snow

Character Description - Not much is known about Penlod of Gondolin, it is known that he was a great writer of the Eldar, and one of the tallest of his people; he was the only Elf in Gondolin to rule two of its houses; the House of the Pillar and the House of the Tower of Snow.

Why this Character? - There are several reasons why I picked Penlod, when I first heard that players would be allowed to apply for roles on the First Age, I immediately went and looked at the Heads of the Gondolin Houses; I straight away took a liking to Penlod; he didn't seem like an overambitious guy which I really liked. I found out that he was a writer, and that he was one of the tallest of his people, and that sold it for me; I know this doesn't matter much but this is partially why I picked him, I am a fantasy writer myself, mostly writing (if we must call it this) fan-fictions for Tolkien's works, and I am also 6'3", I just thought that I really matched Penlod's character really well, and that's pretty much it for why I picked him.

Why Choose Me and What Can I Bring to the Server? - I don't actually have too many reasons to answer this question, I do know that I love Tolkien's works and I would absolutely hate to butcher one of his characters, especially one that fits my personality so well, I think that I would be able to bring some really good writing to the Server, especially in this role; I am also a fairly good builder and I think that I can definitely make Gondolin a beautiful city. I would like to say that if I were chosen, I would play Penlod's character strictly to how Tolkien wrote him; but unfortunately I can't, mostly because not a lot is known about Penlod at all so I think that I would play him with a bit of "creative liberty". I think that's it for this question.

My Experience With Minecraft and the Mod - I know this probably won't count too much, but I've been playing the Lord of the Rings mod since the time when the biome generation was not coded to a map, and capes were in the place that shields are now; so I think that I have a lot of experience with the mod. I have only played on one LOTR Server and that was the Second Age server so I can't say I have too much experience with LOTR Servers.

I think that's all I have for you guys, thanks for reading this and I hope that you will consider me for this role, Penlod or not, I'll see you guys in the First Age.

P.S. I couldn't figure out how to make this post look like King_Thirras's but I don't really think that matters ;).
