Hello, I am sam (Gjalund, previously was Arvasil) and I have played this mod extensively for a while. I was once Fangorn(Treebeard) on the server a while ago, but now look to take quite a different role. I am also 17.

IGN: Gjalund

Lore: Hakvir's childhood has little documented of it, only that he grew up in a Barahir-ruled Ladros, and his father was a hunter of great renown to his people. Hakvir learned to use a bow from a young age, only eight when he stuck his first deer. His father often took him out to hunt near the beautiful Lake Aeluin. His mother taught him the merchant-craft, and he learned when someone was giving him a bad or good deal, as well as how to speak and where the best settlements to trade with were. He eventually joined amongst the guards of the region, wielding a bow and blade to dispatch of wolf packs, bears, wild cats and even the odd orc group or bandit clan in the region. His father and mother however were slain after they left the walls of their town to travel and sell some goods, as his mother was a merchant. They were believed to have been slain by orcs, but this is unknown, and ever since then, Hakvir was changed to become a warrior. Hakvir came with Barahir to the aid of Finrod Felagund and his men at the Dagor Bragollach in F.A. 455. Hakvir was one of Barahirs retinue that formed a spear wall to drive back the attackers, however Hakvir was badly wounded during the battle, forced to the ground while the others fought their way out. He survived ultimately, but never wished to return to the service of those who abandoned him. He instead began to live off the land near the Fen of Serech, burying the dead of his friends and allies all the while. He began to gain some renown for his actions, as he was known to travellers who passed through the fen as the "Bear of Serech" as he wore a bear's pelt aloft, and many other animal hides and furs, which gave him the aesthetic of the wilds. It is believed he is missing an eye after the battle, and that he has a small community living with him in the area, for whom he hunts to provide food. It is also believed these folk are a group of outlaws, but that is talk passed around within the inns rather than facts.

Character traits: Tall, Strong build. Rather straightforward and somewhat hostile (Try Beorn's attitude/accent) Skilled bowman/huntsman, almost as good with his blade. Not evil, leans to the good side considering his past. Dislikes liars almost as much as the Spawn of Morgoth.

Why should I want to be Hakvir: I am wanting to play a role which has less of a direct impact on the lore of the world but rather a focus on player interaction and present events. I am very versed in the way of roleplay, and can do so as any character of any kind, as I have had a wide range of past RPs, such as Radagast, Theoden, the Witch King and many more. I also have a great knowledge of the First-Third age lore and can work my way around any lore conflictions. Due to it being a custom character, I see no way I can fail at RP either. I encourage rp and player interactions as much as possible, and also believe my character may contribute to the server somewhat.

Gear: This character would have very basic gear, wearing a fur helm, any kind of mannish chestplate, fur leggings and any kind of mannish boots. The weaponry includes only a bow (elven-make, family heirloom) and any sort of mannish axe/sword.

I am confident this application is a good one, as well as this i have more to the backstory but it would extend this application tenfold was i to put every detail in here, and hope to see your responses!
