Application for Turgon King of the Hidden City

Username/IGN: CundoCalasseru

Character Name: Turgon King of Gondolin

Character's Lore: Turgon was the second son of Fingolfin, and Lord of the Elves of Nevrast, but his most famous role was the King of the Hidden City of Gondolin. Originally against the departure from Aman he eventually opted to leave, since Feanor had rudely taken all of the boats he was forced to take his people across the Helcaraxe, where he lost his wife. After the crossing he settled in Vinyamar (in Nevrast). As he and his cousin Finrod Felagund travelled along the Sirion the Valar Ulmo sent them both a dream telling them to look for a hidden place to hide their people from the power of Morgoth. In the year that followed Ulmo himself showed Turgon to the vale of Tumladen, but Turgon kept his discovery a secret and returned to Nevrast for some time. After Dagor Aglareb Turgon moved his most skilled workers into Tumladen where they began to make the city of Gondolin. After its completion he moved his people from Vinyamar and into the Hidden City; in Nevrast he left a sword, mail, and helm which would be later discovered and used by Tuor. Turgon's most famous possessions were the Staff of Doom, and the sword Glamdring which would later be used by Gandalf the Grey/White. Turgon only had one known child, a daughter named Idril who married Tuor who with her had Earendil. Turgon didn't really leave the Vale much, the one known occasion was during the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, where his intervention saved the Noldor armies from complete destruction. That's all I have for you today. Turgon did die (but we're not going to talk about that).

My RP History: I don't have too much RP history, I had a role as loremaster of Tol Eressea on the Second Age server but that doesn't count as too much, most of my RP experience came from being Penlod Lord of the Pillar and Tower of Snow (which is my current role on the server). I can't think of much else to say here.

Why Should You Pick Me: I've been with the EoA community for a long time, since the Second Age to be precise. I will play Turgon to the lore that the genius that is J.R.R. Tolkien set out for him. I'm a pretty good builder and with the building freedoms this role gives I hope to complete the city of Gondolin. The Gondolin community has my back on this decision and I hope I can affirm their trust with this role.

I think that's it! Thank you for your consideration and I hope to meet, and hopefully surpass your expectations should I be chosen.

Cheerio! Will

P.S. I think this application might seem a bit short. But I assumed that you guys probably wouldn't want to read the four pages that I had before condensing it down to what really mattered.
