Boromir

[Bogwoppit]

Name: Boromir

Age: 35

Sex: Male

Appearance: Tall and broad, shoulder-length dirty blond hair, blue eyes, ruggedly handsome. He has seen many troubles and it shows on his face. Wears the robes of Gondor, and is rarely seen without a weapon of some description about his person. He has three round scars on his torso, one to the left of his heart, one beneath his ribs, and one just below his left collar bone. These serve as a permanent reminder of the part he played in the War of the Ring, and he is often pained by them, although he does not show it.

Personality: A born leader, impatient and quick to anger, but also very loyal and trustworthy. He does have a softer side, but it is rarely seen. Has a great sense of duty, and forever strives to bring Gondor back to its glory of the past. He enjoys the attention of women, and knows that he has many female admirers, liking nothing better than the return after a battle to be hailed as a hero, apart from maybe the battle itself. He would not willfully hurt a woman, although he has left more than a few broken hearts behind.

Job Description: Eldest son of the steward of Gondor, second in command only to his father.

Race: Human ~ Gondorian

Homeworld: Middle-Earth

History: Born and raised in the white city, Boromir was brought up knowing that he would follow in his father's footsteps as Steward of Gondor. Always the favoured son, he could so no wrong in his father's eyes, and the death of his mother in child-birth to his younger brother only served to magnify this. Boromir felt helpless as a young boy to defend his brother against Denethor's harsh, sometimes cruel outbursts, and as he grew he became very protective towards Faramir. Boromir was a natural when it came to any form of fighting and warfare, while Faramir had to work hard at honing his skills. Boromir spent long hours training him, making him believe in himself. The faith Denethor put in him was wearing, and sometimes Boromir longed to escape his responsibilites.
After the War of the Ring he found it harder than ever to settle, but his sense of duty prevents him from following his yearning to travel and see more of the world. He sits instead at his father's right hand, trying in his own way to lessen the impact of the old man's madness upon the city.
He has never been in love, preferring instead to sow his wild oats without the bother of a woman nagging him.

Strengths/Weaknesses: A greatly skilled warrior with bow and sword, fiercely loyal, a good leader. He always tries to do the right thing and listen to council, but this sometimes falls by the wayside when he feels he knows a better way. Quick tempered and stubborn.

Canon/Own character: Mine own
