Greetings staff of The First Age Server. This is my application on becoming Sauron/Gorthaur on the server. Have fun reading!

Sauron's Story until 400 FA: Sauron was a Maia, the first beings (together with the Valar) after Eru Iluvatar. Maiar can be seen as lesser Valar which came to be the "Gods" of Arda, they always followed Iluvatar's wishes. Sauron was a Maiar working under Aulë, the Craftsman of the Valar, at this time he was called Mairon. He gathered much information and skill from his master. But Sauron got corrupted by Melkor who would be called Morgoth by Finwë after he had stolen the Silmarils. For a time Sauron stayed in Aman and was one of Melkor's spies, but he eventually went to Beleriand. Sauron lived in Angband which he constructed himself. He lived here until the First Capturing of Melkor, then the Valar searched both Angband and Utumno for Sauron but they couldn't find him. Then he fled to the forests and wondered there until Melkor's release. Sauron took the form of a big bat and sometimes a werewolf while he wondered here. After Melkor's release Sauron again went to live in Angband. Sauron was now called Gorthaur the Cruel and he was Melkor's Lieutenant. Sauron stayed in Angband for the remaining time until after the year 400 FA.

Why do I want to be Sauron/Gorthaur? I believe that Sauron is one of the most interesting characters in all of Tolkien's works. I would love to help the Evil Factions grow stronger and I want to have a great role in that growth. Sauron is someone who should be feared and I think myself able to make him that. I want to lead Melkor's armies into battle against the foul Elves and I want to show the world Sauron is greater than previously thought. I also fear someone else who isn't going to be active at all will take the role, and I am here to prevent that and to be a powerful Sauron.

How will I be this character? I don't think a Sauron who tries to fix everything with brute force would be good, nor a Sauron who doesn't show power at all. I'm going to be a Sauron who acts based upon how Sauron acts in the Silmarillion. I will roleplay often, but not too much that I myself am not visible through the character. I will use a great amount of time on building and helping out others in the faction. I am an active player and plan to show this. I will keep to the lore of the books as to events, but if necessary I will adjust myself to the new situation. War is something I love, but I dont start it over a simple thing like an insult.

What can I bring to the server? I am able to be active a lot and I will help with many lore buildings and non-lore buildings to help improve the quality of the server. As Sauron I have quite some influence with several factions and I plan to use those influences well. I'd give advice to those in need and maybe poison the minds of those who are against me and my master. I'd help the roleplaying on the server get more advanced and try to adjust it to the server events. I know a lot about Tolkien's works meaning I can help many people with problems or questions. I will try to bring harmony to the server to prevent fights in chat and useless calling of names. Order and chaos must always be in balace.

My experiences: I have played MC for the past 5 years and have loved every second of it. I've played on the SA Server for many days and aqcuired great riches in my Ent Halls. I am a great lover of Tolkien's works and I've read all of his books (excluding Beren & Luthien which isnt sold in the Netherlands yet). I have roleplayed on SA quite a lot and have gotten a roleplay weapon too, but I know that wont be as easy on the First Age Server. Other LotR Servers I've played/am playing on are: LOTR Offical Server, DotR, DotR 2.0, Dominion and some others but I have forgotten their names. I am going to abandon the servers which Im playing on now to focus all of my attention on the First Age Server.

Thanks for taking the time to read all of that and I hope you will take my application into consideration. ~Glawaron~ (IGN: Glawaron)
