Thread:The Second Age Server/@comment-27475961-20170314203218

So, as you all might know I am the current faction leader of Ungolorchotch and previous Witch King. However! Due to Evil's superb growth I feel as my duties are no longer required on the Evil side of the spectrum, instead, I would like to focus my efforts in maintaining SA as a balanced server on the Good side of the spectrum.

Here's the application:

Tom Bombadil, the oldest, fatherless, the most mysterious and suspicious character in Tolkien's writing. Tom Bombadil's age is unknown, although he was present in Middle Earth before the Awakening of the Elves and subsequently the Awakening of the Dwarves and Men. It is rumoured that Tom Bombadil is actually the incarnation of Eru Ilúvatar but no proof of that is mentioned in Tolkien's writings (Tolkien in fact flat out denied it, but it's still an interesting theory). Tolkien mentions that Tom Bombadil lived in the Old Forest during the Third Age and dwelled in the Forest itself before that, he lives in a small cabin with his wife, Goldberry.

Tom Bombadil rules/masters the Old Forest, which before the decline of the trees used to be much bigger. Tom has uttermost control over "hill, tree and grass" in the Old Forest, he is also immune to the effects of the "One Ring". During Frodo's stay at Bombadil's house, he puts on the Ring and to everyone's surprise: Bombadil sees Frodo even with the Ring on. Tom's magical powers save Frodo and his hobbit companions from the Wraiths in the Barrow-Downs.

At the Council of Elrond, Tom Bombadil is mentioned and is believed by some that he could keep the Ring safe in his domain. However, this is denied by Gandalf as Tom would not know why he would keep it safe and from whom. He would also likely missplace it as it means very little to him.

Tom Bombadil uses songs to express his power, some believe he is the spirit of the music of Ainur, which would explain why Tom says he was present in Middle Earth before the arrival of the Dark Lord (Melkor).

Why should I receive this RP character?  Well first of all, I would like a "advisor/mentor" type role on the Good side of the spectrum, similar to Gandalf and Treebeard in some aspects, old and wise. I also have plenty of experience dealing with various issues which require a neutral position. (Also my name starts with Tom, plz)
