Application for Ecthelion of the Fountain

IGN: _Mimix

Applying for: Ecthelion of the Fountain (Gondolin)

Hello, and once more I make an application, this time for a noble elf of Gondolin. Ecthelion was one of the Elf-Lords in the hidden city of Gondolin within Tumladen. He is famous for the slaying of multiple Balrogs, chief of these being Gothmog, and for his role as a military commander in the battle of Unnumbered Tears. Ecthelion was also a gate warden in Gondolin. He, along with Glorfindel also provided escort for Aredhel lady of Gondolin before being losing her in Nan Dungortheb. Ecthelion had great musical talent and was known to play the flute. Ecthelion was garbed in silver and described as tall and lordly as with most Noldor, and was Lord of the House of the Fountain, whose people loved silver and diamonds. Ecthelion at last fell in the fall of Gondolin, where he and Gothmog dueled and eventually though death was near him, Ecthelion tore down the feared Balrog with the sword and ended one of Arda's greatest terrors. I am applying for this role because I not only really like the elf Ecthelion, but because server interest. I have been losing steam and as soon as That_Mage quit, my brother, I lost motivation to rule Guldar. My enjoyment came from working with him to rule evil and spread a dominion, but that is gone now and evil is at a standstill. As some admins have noticed I have gone quite inactive and that is because the server no longer interested me. But I desperately wanted it to and thought of my original plans, what I wanted to do before me and Mage became rulers: I wanted to apply for Maeglin. As that role is taken and I no longer desire it, I would much rather become Ecthelion. I am prepared to be more of an admin and less of a ruler and lessen my eagerness to pvp. I would like to roleplay as an elf, and that bring appeal back to the server for I love the race of the Noldor and would glady take up my original plan in Gondolin. Also, another reason is because server politics. Gondolin is I hate to say it, weak. It's ruler MasterInk (Turgon) needs assistance and most of all members. I have the experience to help aid him in getting members and organizing Gondolin. We would like to work together to build a better Gondolin and help stop the flow of evil's dominion. Gondolin should be a superpower on the server, but it is not. Turgon has already agreed for me to help as his advisor. I am a good builder and generally quite active in the USA Central timezone. I love to RP but don't get many chances and I can be quite good at it. I also help Gondolin in terms of war, as a good pvper and experienced in strategy. As for lore admins reading this, as all admins have an RP weapon I would request a Valinorean Sword with the same equivalents of my previous Utumno Sword: Legendary, Swift, Blessed, and Orc-Bane (Rather than elf bane!). The name shall be 'Blade of Ecthelion' (as I do not believe it has an official name and I fear to break canon with something custom) and soulbound and unbreakable please! Thank you for reading, I hope this appeals. And of course, as I am switching from good to evil I will pay the 2500 coins due.
