[sticky entry] Sticky: The Hall of Fire

There was a hall once, where a fire was always burning in the hearth, and soft cushions were scattered on nearby chairs and benches invitingly. A perfect place for song and story, in the Last Homely House East of the Sea. The world has changed, now, and the House is gone, and with it the Hall. But the world still remembers.

There is a place, now (then, always), where there is still a fire burning welcoming in the hearth, and the chairs and benches are always just perfect for sitting and listening. The windows and doors are open to everywhere (everywhen), and any can enter. Here, the memory of the great loremasters and storytellers still remains. You might catch Erestor, grumbling about people not respecting the library's sanctity, or Daeron might wander by the window playing his flute (O Luthien, Luthien, still he seeks you). Maybe Lord Elrond himself will be sitting in the corner with his children or his lady wife, listening to Lindir play. Perhaps Finrod Felagund will walk by singing of Valinor long ago (white shores and silver towers), or Echtelion might be playing his flute in the courtyard by the fountains. You might even catch old Bilbo, sleeping in a corner, or Rumil arguing quietly with Pengolodh at his desk. From the window which looks onto the garden, when the moon is full, the song of Tinfang Gelion still rises. But tonight, ah tonight, a voice is singing, low and sad like the waves on the shore. By the window that looks to the ocean, the last son of Feanor sits.

So enter, friend, and be welcome to the Hall of Fire. If it's story or song you are seeking, you've come to the right place.

[sticky entry] Sticky: OOC: HMD/Contact/Permissions

Okay so maybe I did accidentally-on-purpose make your mom leave you forever. But underneath all the murder I think I’m still a really nice guy. 
Maglor, to Elrond and Elros, (In)Correct Tolkien Quotes

OOC: 
Maglor is ancient and has backstory accordingly. I, on the other hand, am very much not! If you reckon I'm messing up, please let me know? Also Maglor may be able to write beautiful poetry at the drop of a hat but I certainly can't so... please ignore my lame attempts
IP logging is off, Anon is on, Comments are screened etc.

IC: 
Maglor's from a canon where the world was made of music, and as the canonly second best bard in existence, he can do things as diverse as break a tower, put you to sleep, create magically binding oaths or raise a river. He can also listen to the "song" of the world and speak to things that should technically not speak back like rocks, or water. Tolkien elves are also "sort of" telepathic - Maglor cannot read minds but he can certainly skim strong surface emotions. And finally, Tolkien elves have strong spiritual abilities, so he can sense evil to a certain extent, he can see ghosts, and probably can interact with them a little. So!

(1) If fighting with Maglor, he WILL use Song - please let me know how much you want to play with the concept of him stirring the world to his defence
(2) He doesn't read minds normally, but if it comes up, what might he skim from surface emotions? He will NEVER go deep unless directly asked (it isn't his strength or skill)
(3) Is your character obviously evil or conversely good, or dead or otherwise broadcasting anything on the spiritual level - and if so can he sense it? 
(4) IF IT EVER COMES UP - would you like him to use magically compelling Words of Power on your character (he is VERY reluctant to do this, consider his history with Oaths so it his highly unlikely to come up)

Content Warnings
Maglor is a mass-murderer with a kill count a supervillain would envy, and it includes non-combatants and children - he doesn't USUALLY bring it up specifically, but it's very much a part of who he is. He also is somewhat depressed with a massive guilt & survivor complex and can voice or occasionally act a bit suicidal, but these are easily avoided if needed. He IS a performer, and will absolutely put on an act that everything is fine if he doesn't want to bother people.

Nope

Character Information


Character Canon: JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion
Character Name: Makalaurë "Maglor" Canafinwë
Character Canonpoint: end of the Third Age (that is to say, the end of the Lord of the Rings, as Elrond, Galadriel, Frodo, Bilbo and Gandalf sail West on the White Ship)
Character Age: older than the moon and sun which makes it hard to guess age BUT As an estimate, he's roughly 3000 by the end of the Silmarillion (First Age). Second Age lasted 3441 years, Frodo sails 3012 of the Third Age. So... 9400+?
Character Appearance in Game: Tall (~6'5") slender (lean rather than bulky), dark haired and grey eyed. On first glance he looks to be in his late 20s/early 30s, but his eyes will betray him. He wears his hair long and loose and has pointy ears. Also, he glows, most visibly in his eyes. He has nasty, nasty old burn scars on his hands, right worse than left, which should be far more contracted than they are (and also should be far more HEALED than they are)
Link to Character History: History Here. or written up version here
Link to Character Abilities or Powers:
Racial abilities:
(1) functionally immortal - as in, don't die of age, and not, can't be killed
(2) Elves are faster, stronger and hardier than Men, and they heal faster too. This is not 100% proof, as canon has at least one instance where a Man could bear armor that an Elf could not. Also this means they can survive on surprisingly little food & water for a surprisingly long time!
(3) Elves have unusually good eyesight and hearing - this is pretty variable, but generally an Elf can see further & hear more than a typical human
(4) Elves like talking to things - all the things - and it is strongly implied that they get some sort of answer, although I imagine it isn't speech that they get in return but... impressions maybe. Who hears what will depend on the Elf in question - Maglor, I suspect, hears the Sea loud and clear, and all Elves hear the stars.
(5) Elves glow. Literally. Yes, like a night light.
(6) Elves are very light-footed - this does include the whole 'walk on snow' thing, but it also means that if an Elf doesn't want to be tracked, he or she won't be, unless it's by another elf - again I imagine some are better at this than others (Wood Elves like Legolas, for example, probably find Noldor like Maglor hilariously clumsy and easy to track). They are said in canon to be quieter than even the Hobbits when they walk.
(7) Elves can read minds. Sort of.
(8) Elves don't need sleep. Ok this is not entirely accurate, because they DO, they just... don't quite do it like other races do. They apparently have the ability to essentially create a waking dream-like state where they can walk and probably talk (although I wouldn't get them to, say, sew or anything needing fine motor control) while meditating on ~*beautiful things*~ and this is almost as good as sleep for them, allowing them to go days without actually needing shut-eye.
ODD THINGS MAGLOR SPECIFICALLY CAN PROBABLY DO:
(9) Tolkien's world was created by Song. Therefore, it follows that one may USE Song to affect the world. Maglor is stated to be canonically the second best bard in existence. I suspect, that at the very LEAST he can influence emotion with his music, and at the extreme, do things that are ~*magic*~. Like put people to sleep (see: Luthien) and fight epic rap battles with music (see: Finrod) as well as break towers (see: Galadriel) and raise rivers (see: Elrond)
(10) Generally, Elven music is described as drawing the images to mind and lingering there, even if you had no clue what the words meant - I actually think this is related to the mind reading bit, so you could probably block said images out, if you wanted

Character Personality (3 Strengths, 2 Weaknesses):
3 Strengths:
Loyal (fanatically so, almost) to his kin and friends
(Comparatively) level headed (refused to go on a suicidal rescue mission and kept his brothers from doing the same, stayed on good terms with the rest of the family despite... Issues.)
Very fond of children

2 Weakness:
Stubborn & Proud (almost insanely so) - swore a terrible oath and kept said oath, even despite all the things wrong with it and that it led him to. See: Loyal.
Has a nasty temper and a tendency to see revenge served not so much cold as indefinitely

Bonus? Uh. Mass Murderer.

CHARACTER
Character Name: Makalaure "Maglor" Canafinwe Feanorion (he goes by Maglor)
Character Age: older than the moon and sun which makes it hard to guess age BUT As an estimate, he's roughly 3000 by the end of the Silmarillion (First Age). Second Age lasted 3441 years, Frodo sails 3012 of the Third Age. So... 9400+? But he looks to be in his late 20s/early 30s

History: wiki link here
Once upon a time there was this elf genius named Feanor with seven sons, of whom Maglor was the second. He made three really pretty jewels that even Ultimate Evil wanted, but alas, Feanor slammed his door quite literally in Ultimate Evil's face.

This was perhaps a mistake.

In revenge, Ultimate Evil killed Feanor' father, the Trees that lit the world, oh and stole the jewels. Genius apparently means lacking all common sense so Feanor promptly swore a terrible oath to get the jewels back no matter what and all his sons swore it too. Things promptly went downhill. First they (1) rebelled against the Valar (that'd be the gods of the world) and took all the Noldor (that'd be Feanor's people - incidentally Feanor's dad was High King of the Noldor) with them (2) stole the ships and killed the sailors of the sea elves (3) Feanor lit all the boats on fire so they couldn't go back and pick up everyone else causing (4) accidental filicide since his youngest son was asleep on the boats and (5) for Feanor's (half)brother to go "SCREW YOU I'M COMING ANYWAY" and taking the long way around on the Grinding Ice (exactly as bad as it sounds).

This was followed by Feanor foolishly charging Ultimate Evil and promptly dying, causing his eldest son to take up kingship, only to shortly be captured by Ultimate Evil & needing to be rescued by his BFF Fingon (also his cousin, who came around the long way on the Ice with his father) and promptly handing said kingship over to him. THUS FOLLOWS SEVERAL CENTURIES OF SIEGE AND LOTS OF PEOPLE DYING.

Enter Beren & Luthien, whose story is a love story of epic proportions and stupid decisions! Ending with one of said three jewels being in the hands of Dior, an elf king. Much more approachable than Ultimate Evil. Sadly, also just as unwilling to give it up. Hence winding up dead when Feanor's boys stormed his kingdom and razed it to the ground. The jewel escaped with his daughter Elwing, who marries a dude called Earendil (who also happens to have both mortal and immortal ancestory) and they have twin boys! And when Maglor et al come for the jewel Elwing jumps off a cliff rather than give them the jewel. The Valar of the Water, Ulmo, takes pity on her and turns her into a seabird, and she flies off to where Earendil is sailing and they, assuming their sons are dead, go to Valinor to plead with the Valar to PLEASE GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT ULTIMATE EVIL. Except the boys aren't dead - Maglor and Maedhros kidnappedadopted them. They are, apparently, quite good dads, and "love grew between them, as little might be thought", until they come to their senses, realise hanging out with insane mass murderers is not good for developing minds, and send them to Gil-Galad and Cirdan.

THE VALAR COME and Ultimate Evil is beaten, and the jewels taken. Maglor and Maedhros sneak in and steal them... and find out they can't touch them, the jewels burning them to the bone. Maedhros commits suicide, and Maglor throws his into the sea... and vanishes into time. No one knows what happens to him.

But maybe... he lingers by the sea, and sometimes he makes his way inland, a silent ghost on the edges of history, a recorder of the great events of the world, a helping hand gone in the morning, a voice on the waves... (this last bit is largely headcanon, as literally all we know is that he throws away the Silmaril and then... nothing. But... immortal, guilty, cursed, stubborn - chances are good he's around)

Personality: Maglor is Feanorion, to start, which makes him, like all his family, stubborn, proud, prone to holding grudges, prone to rash and terrible oaths, honourable enough to keep said terrible oath... and probably not entirely sane. Maglor specifically was said to have more of his gentler mother's personality, and is likely to have been the peacekeeper of his headstrong brothers. He isn't as charismatic as his father, Maedhros or Curufin (all of whom were capable of causing civil unrest pretty much with just one speech), but he is extremely skilled with words.

Despite his gentler temperament, he was a strong and capable war-leader, holding Maglor's Gap, the weakest part of their defences, for 4.5 centuries. He was level-headed enough and commanded enough loyalty to refuse to go on a (suicidal) rescue of his older brother Maedhros and held that stance as the High King until Fingon was crazy enough to rescue him. Maedhros, in gratitude, turned the high kingship over to Fingolfin's house, which his brothers disagreed with - it is likely that Maglor was the only one to back him on that decision. He was also politically savvy enough to be one of only 2 of the brothers to stay on good terms with both Fingolfin & Finarfin's house (Maedhros, unsurprisingly, was the other).

He is loyal to a fault – particularly in regards to Maedhros. Tolkien says that he kept the Oath more for love of his family than for any care for the Silmarils, and regretted his actions deeply by the end (having said that, he's also old enough, and wise enough to know that he would not change things, if he had a chance). Bear in mind he's also a killer, and a very good one, considering how long he's lasted. He has the potential to be utterly ruthless - apart from Elrond and Elros, there is never any indication that he spared anyone, and the victims would have included non-combatants.

As he is right now, he's had plenty of time to knock off many of his rough edges, and nowadays is just plain tired. Emo Elf is Emo, but seriously, he's very depressed. He's likely to be insomniac due to the horrible nightmares of his past, almost certainly suffers flashbacks, and has a huge guilt complex. He's lonely as all get go, but canon says he "came never back", largely, I suspect, because he does not dare bring his Curse ('to evil end will all things turn') into range of other people. He also has lots of unresolved issues with his family, and the only thing he hates more than himself is Evil in any shape he finds it.

Inventory:
(1) a silver harp that's almost as old as Maglor - I like to say that it was a gift (reward) from Feanor and is ever-so-slightly magical (as if it wasn't the thing would have fallen to pieces by now it's that old)
(2) a longsword and it's mate, an elven hunting knife - nothing particularly magical about them either, except that they're elven made and also probably came from Valinor (ie they won't rust and are preternaturally sharp and shiny and won't break easily - they may be particularly effective against evil things, perhaps)
(3) a small first aid kit (or what passes for one in his time - some bandages, various salves and dried herbs probably including athelas for treatment of wounds)
(4) flint, tinder, fishing line - basically the essentials for wandering in the wild

Abilities:
Racial abilities:
(1) functionally immortal - as in, don't die of age, and not, can't be killed
(2) Elves are faster, stronger and hardier than Men, and they heal faster too. This is not 100% proof, as canon has at least one instance where a Man could bear armor that an Elf could not. Also this means they can survive on surprisingly little food & water for a surprisingly long time!

They are said in canon to be quieter than even the Hobbits when they walk.
(7) Elves can read minds. Sort of. See Permissions.
(8) Elves don't need sleep. Ok this is not entirely accurate, because they DO, they just... don't quite do it like other races do. They apparently have the ability to essentially create a waking dream-like state where they can walk and probably talk (although I wouldn't get them to, say, sew or anything needing fine motor control) while meditating on ~*beautiful things*~ and this is almost as good as sleep for them, allowing them to go days without actually needing shut-eye.

I suspect, that at the very LEAST he can influence emotion with his music, and at the extreme, do things that are ~*magic*~. Like... I dunno put people to sleep (see: Luthien) and fight epic rap battles with music (see: Finrod) as well as break towers (see: Galadriel) and raise rivers (see: Elrond) -> obviously most of these abilities are nerfed
(10) Generally, Elven music is described as drawing the images to mind and lingering there, even if you had no clue what the words meant - I actually think this is related to the mind reading bit, so you could probably block said images out, if you wanted.


Flaws: ahaha...
(1) Maglor is a mass murderer with a kill count to put most supervillains to shame. This includes non-combatants, and likely women and children. He doesn't like killing, but his rap sheet does include "attempted genocide"- the purest thing in his world, the weregild for which he committed all these murders, burns him to his soul because he's become so impure and evil
(2) Maglor is the gentlest of his brothers, but he does have a temper, and can and will use his abilities for things like dominating the wills of others. Especially if you say nasty things about his family in his hearing. He also has a tendency to regard revenge not just as a dish best served cold but uh. As one served indefinitely.
(3) He... really isn't all that sane any more.
(4) the Oath isn't gone, it's only sleeping. Bring in a Silmaril and whoops


SAMPLES
Action Log Sample:
[ There's a man, salt tangles in his hair and clothes worn and patched, although they must have been fine, once. There's a voice, a low song in it, like waves on the ocean. The face is too young for his eyes. ]

Monsters. I suppose it is only fitting.

[ The blood-stained blade in his hand should be too heavy to use one handed, but he holds it almost negligently in his left ]

But you will have to try harder than that to kill me. [ The smile has no joy in it ] If monsters alone could have done it Morgoth and Sauron would have seen me dead long before now. I am so tired...

[ Then those eyes sharpen, a flick of an old flame ]

Who are you to bind me so? Do you understand what you have brought upon yourselves? Tears unnumbered they promised us, and so has it been. I am a curse and a nightmare. You should have left me be! I will only bring grief - so it has been foretold, and so it has always been. Who are you?

[ And just as quickly, the flame gutters out ]

Well. No answer. I suppose that is not surprising. Is this the Void then? How strange - I always thought it would be emptier. But perhaps this is fitting, that I spend my afterlife killing monsters... After all, if I am one as well, then... perhaps one of them will get lucky. No one has, so far. But I'll not be easy prey! Let no one say that Feanor's sons were craven, whatever else we have been! I wonder Father, if this is what you foresaw...

Come then, and let us see how my eternal punishment will play out. Or am I to be left with only silence? Will no one answer me? Or is that also part of my penance, to call out unceasingly into the Void with no response?

Name: Makalaure Canafinwe "Maglor"
Canon: Tolkien - Silmarillion
AU: CRAU from [community profile] asgardeventide

Pull-point: Canon-wise, the end of LOTR, he has just watched the White Ship sail with the Ringbearers. Asgard-wise he's from the end of the game, where they prevented the destruction of the world.

Power Opt-in post link: here

Content Opt-out post link: here

Age: 9400+ give or take a few centuries?

Gender/Sex: Male

Appearance: like most of his family, Maglor is tall (over 6ft), slender (lean rather than bulky), dark haired and grey eyed. Despite his age, on first glance he looks to be in his late 20s/early 30s. He wears his hair long and loose (which is handy for covering his ears if he wants to look human), but he does have the gear to do formal braids and he'll braid if he needs to do anything other than "wander around like a hobo". He has nasty, nasty old burn scars on his hands, right worse than left, which should be far more contracted than they are (and also should be far more HEALED than they are). He's also coming in from winter in Asgard so he'll be wearing a most un-elf like terrible rainbow barf woolly Christmas jumper.

They are, apparently, quite good dads, and "love grew between them, as little might be thought", until they come to their senses, realise hanging out with insane mass murderers is not good for developing minds, and send them to Gil-Galad and Cirdan. THE VALAR COME and Ultimate Evil is beaten, and the jewels taken. Maglor and Maedhros sneak in and steal them... and find out they can't touch them, the jewels burning them to the bone. Maedhros commits suicide, and Maglor throws his into the sea... and vanishes into time. No one knows what happens to him.
NON CANON
But maybe... he lingers by the sea, and sometimes he makes his way inland, a silent ghost on the edges of history, a recorder of the great events of the world, a helping hand gone in the morning, a voice on the waves. And one day he watches the White Ship sail, and then he blinks and he is in a room in an unfamiliar world and he is mortal. He has been chosen, they tell him, the gods wish him to help them stave off Ragnarok. His soul echoes with the Song and so he has been bound to Freyr, the God of Poetry, and may borrow some of his power. Shortly after his arrival, they go to Muspelheim, to challenge Surt. And Maglor dies, taking on the Lord of the Fire Giants alone to buy time for his Lady Commander to escape. But the gods won't let him go, and so Maglor lives. To Asgard comes Elrond, who tells him he forgives him, and a boy broken by his ‘mother’, young Kevin Prentiss, and Maglor has someone he needs to protect. He has a roommate, a Time Lord, endlessly logical and practical Braxatiel, who verbally smacks down his morbid wanderings and teaches him about different worlds. He meets Alice, a womanchild on the edge of adulthood, scarred and broken and still so very gentle, and he calls her his butterfly, and guards her as if he were a father, teaches her the knife skills she will need to survive. He meets a wise soul in a sassy young body, and he calls Riley "Sister" and she scolds him out of his moods and steals food from his kitchen. And Maglor has a family. And at last... Maglor finds his hope for a broken monk who has lost his, and in the darkness of Ragnarok he laughs, and the world... does not end. "You can stay, or you can go" - and Maglor has two little ones who have no homes to return to... so he stays. And then he wakes up here.

Personality: Maglor is Feanorion, to start, which makes him, like all his family, stubborn, proud, prone to holding grudges, prone to rash and terrible oaths, honourable enough to keep said terrible oath... and probably not entirely sane. Maglor specifically was said to have more of his gentler mother's personality, and is likely to have been the peacekeeper of his headstrong brothers. He isn't as charismatic as his father, Maedhros or Curufin (all of whom were capable of causing civil unrest pretty much with just one speech), but he is extremely skilled with words.
Despite his gentler temperament, he was a strong and capable war-leader, holding Maglor's Gap, the weakest part of their defences, for 4.5 centuries. He was level-headed enough and commanded enough loyalty to refuse to go on a (suicidal) rescue of his older brother Maedhros and held that stance as the High until Fingon was crazy enough to rescue him. Maedhros, in gratitude, turned the high kingship over to Fingolfin's house, which his brothers disagreed with - it is likely that Maglor was the only one to back him on that decision. He was also politically savvy enough to be one of only 2 of the brothers to stay on good terms with both Fingolfin & Finarfin's house (Maedhros, unsurprisingly, was the other). He is loyal to a fault – particularly in regards to Maedhros. Tolkien says that he kept the Oath more for love of his family than for any care for the Silmarils, and regretted his actions deeply by the end (having said that, he's also old enough, and wise enough to know that he would not change things, if he had a chance). Bear in mind he's also a killer, and a very good one, considering how long he's lasted.
As he is right now, he's had plenty of time to knock off many of his rough edges, and nowadays is just plain tired. Emo Elf is Emo, but seriously, he's very depressed. He's likely to be insomniac due to the horrible nightmares of his past, almost certainly suffers flashbacks, and has a huge guilt complex. He's lonely as all get go, but canon says he "came never back", largely, I suspect, because he does not dare bring his Curse ('to evil end will all things turn') into range of other people. He also has lots of unresolved issues with his family, and the only thing he hates more than himself is Evil in any shape he finds it. Asgard has helped a lot with much of this - he's much more sane, and has found his hope again, but he's still rather broken around the edges.

Abilities:
racial abilities:
(1) functionally immortal - as in, don't die of age, and not, can't be killed
(2) Elves are faster, stronger and hardier than Men, and they heal faster too. This is not 100% proof, as canon has at least one instance where a Man could bear armor that an Elf could not. Also this means they can survive on surprisingly little food & water for a surprisingly long time!
(3) Elves have unusually good eyesight and hearing - this is pretty variable, but generally an Elf can see further & hear more than a typical human
(4) Elves like talking to things - all the things - and it is strongly implied that they get some sort of answer, although I imagine it isn't speech that they get in return but... impressions maybe. Again, who hears what will depend on the Elf in question - Maglor, I suspect, hears the Sea loud and clear, and all Elves hear the stars.
(5) Elves glow.
(6) Elves are very light-footed - this does include the whole 'walk on snow' thing, but it also means that if an Elf doesn't want to be tracked, he or she won't be, unless it's by another elf - again I imagine some are better at this than others (Wood Elves like Legolas, for example, probably find Noldor like Maglor hilariously clumsy and easy to track). They are said in canon to be quieter than even the Hobbits when they walk.
(7) Elves can read minds. Sort of. See Permissions.
(8) Elves don't need sleep. Ok this is not entirely accurate, because they DO, they just... don't quite do it like other races do. They apparently have the ability to essentially create a waking dream-like state where they can walk and probably talk (although I wouldn't get them to, say, sew or anything needing fine motor control) while meditating on ~*beautiful things*~ and this is almost as good as sleep for them, allowing them to go days without actually needing shut-eye.
ODD THINGS MAGLOR SPECIFICALLY CAN PROBABLY DO:
(9) Tolkien's world was created by Song. Therefore, it follows that one may USE Song to affect the world. Maglor is stated to be canonically the second best bard in existence. I suspect, that at the very LEAST he can influence emotion with his music, and at the extreme, do things that are ~*magic*~. Like... I dunno put people to sleep and fight epic rap battles with music. Generally, Elven music is described as drawing the images to mind and lingering there, even if you had no clue what the words meant - I actually think this is related to the mind reading bit, so you could probably block said images out, if you wanted. Also being a musical genius, despite that canon only talks about his harp, chances are, if you put any instrument in his hands he'd learn how to play it pretty quickly - although things closer to what he's familiar with would be easier (he'd look at a piano pretty blankly, for example, but a guitar or a violin would probably be easy to work out, a french horn would get poked at, but a flute would make sense etc.)
--> AM POWER NERFING: The Song is broken, which is going to confuse Maglor heaps, but he's also spent over a year living as a human, with zero access to it, so it won't be say, painful. He's learnt to work around not hearing it. He'll loose his ability to manipulate it the way he used to, so if he's doing anything more elaborate than, say, singing his babies to sleep I rather think he's going to get some very nasty backlash. On the plus side, no more wandering off and getting lost in the song of the sea?
(10) Maglor's a bard, and his dad was a genius who invented their written alphabet - Maglor is a Language Geek. I would put good money that he learns languages for fun (or did, before the whole Oath thing). He's also got a brilliant memory (he would have to to create and then tell his stories, but all elves are supposed to have something pretty close to perfect recall),although I suspect he's a tad absent minded, like most artists - chances are, he can recall EVERYTHING that happened to him if he really wants to
(11) Maglor's dad being Feanor, I'm pretty sure Maglor spent time in the forges - he'd probably be familiar with basic metallurgy and smithing, and with his personality he was probably fascinated by the finicky jewellery type work, although I have no doubt he got out as soon as Feanor let him
(12) Maglor is a very good fighter - he's survived several thousand years in a world where fighting is up close and personal and involves things like dragons, balrogs and trolls - and he's done so without loosing any limbs or getting obvious deforming scars. This implies that he is very very good (also probably quite lucky). One of the reasons he was able to hold Maglor's Gap for so long is because he led a calvary - one of the few known in early Middle Earth. At the least, he'd be an excellent swordsman and a very good horseman, and being a calvary officer, he probably also used a spear, and bow & arrows.
(13) Being second of seven brothers + umpteen younger cousins + raising two elflings + surviving the First Age at all, Maglor's probably pretty good at basic first aid and management of battle wounds. He's not a healer, but he can keep you alive long enough to get you TO a healer.

Inventory:
He is armed - longsword, hunting knife.
And apart from his normal clothes, he does have a large, warm, HIDEOUSLY COLOURED Christmas Jumper
He also has a small bracelet around his wrist, although the stone is grey and non functional - this was the communication device in Asgard.

Anything else: ... word limits... somehow achieved?

David Meece - Seventy Times Seven
This prison has no walls / This bondage has no chains / My memories have no mercy / There's no one left to blame
Wish I could force back the hands of time / And right every wrong / Grant me just this one last chance / Before it's gone, gone gone
Seventy times seven / Will You forgive me for all that I've done? / Seventy times seven / I'm so afraid of what I've become
For all the promises laid to waste / For all the seeds unsown / For all the justice I never faced / I must now atone
Is there a soul that can't be saved? / Is there a heart that has no hope? / Is there a peace that can still be made? / Please, say it's so

Andrew Peterson - The Reckoning
I can see the storm descending on the hill tonight / Tall trees are bending to your will tonight / Let the mighty bow down / At the thundering sound of your voice
I can hear the howling wind and feel the rain tonight / Every drop a prophet in your name tonight / And the words that they sing / They are washing me clean, but
How long until this curtain is lifted? / How long is this the song that we sing? / How long until the reckoning?
And I know you hear the cries of every soul tonight / You see the teardrops as they roll tonight / Down the faces of saints / Who grow weary and faint in your fields
And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight / But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight / Down the faces of saints / Who grow weary and faint in your fields
And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight / But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight / I believe You will come / Your justice be done, but how long?
You are holiness and grace / You are fury and rest / You are anger and love / You curse and you bless / You are mighty and weak / You are silence and song / You are plain as the day, / But you have hidden your face-- / For how long? How long?
And I am standing in the stillness of the reckoning / The storm is past and rest is beckoning / Mighty God, how I fear you / How I long to be near you, O Lord
How long until the burden is lifted? / How long is this the song that we sing? / How long until the reckoning? / And I know that I don't know what I'm asking / But I long to look you full in the face / I am ready for the reckoning

Have mercy on me, O God, / according to your unfailing love; / according to your great compassion / blot out my transgressions
Wash away all my iniquity / and cleanse me from my sin / For I know my transgressions, / and my sin is always before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned / and done what is evil in your sight; / so you are right in your verdict / and justified when you judge.
 

When the cold of winter comes / Starless night will cover day / In the veiling of the sun / We will walk in bitter rain
But in dreams / I can hear your name / And in dreams / We will meet again
When the seas and mountains fall / And we come, to end of days / In the dark I hear a call / Calling me there
I will go there / And back again

Nobody knows who I really am / I never felt this empty before / And if I ever need someone to come along, / Who’s gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?
We are all rowing the boat of fate / The waves keep on coming and we can’t escape / But if we ever get lost on our way / The waves would guide you through another day

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, / And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; / And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, / And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide / Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; / And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, / And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, / To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; / And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, / And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.


BONUS SIDE: REDEMPTION
I was finished, game over / Couldn't carry the weight on my shoulders / At my end, in trouble / Knocked down on the ground seein' double
But then Your love, love opened my eyes / Lifted me up, up, now I'm alive / I raise my hands, hands to the sky / Singing "Oh oh oh oh oh oh" / "Oh oh oh oh oh"
Oh Lord, I'm a different man / You gave me a second chance / I was lost, I was fallin' apart / But You came along, and You hit the restart


I have been unfaithful / I have been unworthy / I have been unrighteous / And I have been unmerciful.
I have been unreachable / I have been unteachable / I have been unwilling / And I have been undesirable
Sometimes, I have been unwise / I’ve been undone by what I’m unsure of / But because of you, and all that you went through / I know that I have never been unloved
I have been unbroken / I have been unmended / I have been uneasy / And I have been unapproachable
I’ve been unemotional / I’ve been unexceptional / I’ve been undecided / And I have been unqualified
Unaware, I have been unfair / I’ve been unfit for blessings from above / But even I can see, the sacrifice you made for me / To show that I have never been unloved.

There's something happening here / There's something here that I just can't explain / I know I'm where I belong / Deep down inside I am no longer lost!
I won't let you go (This is what you really want) / So don't let go of me (This is what you asked for) / I wanted something more (This is what you really want) / I wanted this right here (This is what you asked for)
Keep laugh until it hurts / It hurts 'till we learn / Down the point of fear / But there's joy somehow in me! / You're not as strong as I am / You're not as strong as I am!

Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind, / long years numberless as the wings of trees! / The long years have passed like swift draughts / of the sweet mead in lofty halls beyond the West, / beneath the blue vaults of Varda wherein the stars / tremble in the song of her voice, holy and queenly.
Who now shall refill the cup for me? / For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the Stars, / from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds, / and all paths are drowned deep in shadow; / and out of a grey country darkness lies / on the foaming waves between us, and mist
covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever.
Now lost, lost to those from the East is Valimar! / Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar. / Maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell!

It should feel so good / It should be so right  / Going home again / To find the years that shaped my life
But shadows line the streets, /  They whisper endlessly / And all I see are ghosts / Of my most painful memories
Going home, going home, / Lord, someday I'm going home / To a place where I know I belong / Where the ghosts, and the fears / And the shadows disappear / Oh, his angels bear us there / Going home.

In the beginning / I was counting the stones on the seashore, / Looking for the precious ones. / Among the stones, I found many pretty things / While the sea rolled on beside me all the time.
Time moved on. / I had collected many stones 'til I tired of them, / And I think they tired of me. / Some were lovely, but I was never satisfied, / And the sea rolled on beside me all the time.
And the wind rose, east and cold. / Whisp'ring sweetly to my soul. / And it said "Look you fool, / You are missing precious things: Raise your eyes and look towards the sea."
So I looked: It was as if I saw the sea for the first time, / And it's power captured me. / All the time I had wasted seeking stones, / I had missed the rolling glory of the sea.
And the sea / Devoured a mighty swathe of heart, overwhelmed me / In a way I couldn't know, / And the price for the love of greater things / Was surrender to the great and cruel sea.
And it stole me, and I feared the aching sea, / It consumed me, drowned my mind. / The wind said "Look, you fool, / No matter what you do, / You can't contain the ocean like a stone.

(ooc: I play a bard. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO NARROW THIS LIST DOWN)

OOC: Asgard app

OOC Information
Personal Journal: bookworm-faith.livejournal.com / bookworm-faith.dreamwidth.org

IC Information;
Character Name; Makalaure "Maglor" Canafinwe
Canon; JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion (Maglor specifically: lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Maglor, The Silmarillion generally: lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Quenta_Silmarillion)
Canon Point; End of the Third Age (the very end of the Lord of the Rings - he's just watched Frodo, Bilbo, Elrond, Gandalf & Galadriel sail West)
Age; Older than the Moon & Sun. Um. As an estimate, he's roughly 3000 by the end of the Silmarillion (First Age). Second Age lasted 3441 years, Frodo sails 3012 of the Third Age. So... 9400+? 
Appearance; like most of his family, Maglor is tall (over 6ft), slender, dark haired and grey eyed. Despite his age, on first glance he looks to be in his late 20s/early 30s. He wears his hair long and loose (which is handy for covering his ears if he wants to look human). His ears are pointed, but they are also fairly easy to hide, and may not be noticed on first glance. Coming in to Asgard he'll be in clothes similar to Legolas from LOTR except (1) older in style, and far more worn (2) he'll favour blacks and greys as a colour scheme. The only things on his person that look well cared for are the silver 8-rayed Star-of-Feanor cloak pin, his harp, and his weapons.

House; Freyr
(and he who harps upon the far / forgotten beaches and dark shores / where western foam forever roars / Maglor whose voice is like the sea)
Power; Bardic Influence (oh look its his canon ability!) Level 3

Personality;
Emo Elf is Emo )

Samples )

Inventory:
(1) the clothes on his back
(2) he's armed, oh yes - longsword, hunting knife
(3) his harp
