"I should be him because he is who he is". That's not a very strong argument. Try to think more like this: "I would suit the role of Glorfindel because he and I are both strong-willed. I love the way he acts in lore and I can't wait to portray him on the server." Also don't tell about the fall of Gondolin, we are playing in the year FA 300. That happens in the year FA 510. Meaning: it's in the future! It said explicitly on the Facebook which had a format, don't tell of your characters death or after FA 300. It simply didn't happen yet, and not everything on the server will happen exactly as the lore. In this case, Gondolin most likely won't fall, and Glorfindel not die. Also try to tell the story more in your own words, as far as I can see you almost just copy-paste sit out of Tolkien Gateway, which is a great source of information, but try to tell it a bit differently so the lore admins are convinced that you actually know the lore.

That was some feedback from my side, I hope it helps you, clearly you haven't made many applications. And as I said earlier, Glorfindel is already taken. The next time you should do some research before you spend half an hour on an application, that is hopeless because another player already got accepted as the character you are hoping to get.

Lord Varian?? Do you mean Lord Arvedui? Also you should really check the list of taken roles before applying for a character.
