~~The Mask ~~
Character Name: Boromir
Age: 31
Date of Birth: March 23 2978
Race: Man
Residence: Minas Tirith
Profession: Captain-General and future Steward of Gondor
Appearance:
Boromir is a very tall and build man. He is 6 fee 4 inches tall. Since his youth, he practiced the way of the sword, horseback riding and archery which gave him a very muscular body. The heavy armors also helped giving him a stocky body shape. Due to the exposure of the sun, his skin is quite tanned but not enough to give him a brownish skin tone.
Boromir has gray piercing eyes. His bears the beard which as the same color of his hair, a dark brown. He has shoulder-length hair. Boromir has a few scars thanks to the many battle he fought but they are mostly hidden under his shirt.
Boromir wears the colors of Gondor proudly, having the White Tree on his iron armor. On his leather one though, it's simply studded. He wears green, brown and burgundy colors, like said before, the colors of Gondor. He always has his horn at his side. His sword has no name despite the tradition of naming it. Besides his sword, he has a knife always at the ready and a bow hanged at his horse's flank. He always wears gloves during battle and campaign to avoid having blistering hands.
Personality:
Boromir changed since his mother's death when he was ten. Seeing his father so grim and remote made him desire to be the best at everything. Not really a scholar, he let the studies to his brother, although he is still good at strategy. Instead, he mastered the sword. He became a brave and courageous man, fighting along with his men during a battle. Boromir is rarely afraid, he knows the destiny of his kingdom is fragile, that Gondor may fall at any moment, and so to avoid it hurting him he locked away every weakness of his heart to fight against the enemy.
Boromir is a very secretive man. His family is very dear to him. Therefor, despite the fact he clearly is the favorite son, he loves his brother deeply. He knows the strength of Faramir and rely on them. He isn't afraid to delegate. The fact that he locked away his heart made him unable to see the subtleties of life or understand the women as much as his brother for example. A rose is a rose, nothing more. This is why, although he had known a few women, he never married himself.
~~ The Family ~~
Parents: Denethor II and Finduilas
Sibling(s): Faramir
Spouse: None
Children: None
History:
Boromir is the first son of Denethor II and Finduilas. His first years of life were normal in every way, as long as you are the son of the Steward of Gondor. At the age of five, the family grew larger with the coming of his brother Faramir. His father was not yet the Steward, his grandfather was. But a year later this grandfather of his died and his father Denethor became the steward. He started at that year to have tutors teaching him all there would be for him to know.
He was ten when a tragedy occurred. The dark clouds were already at the time growing over Mordor and his mother Finduilas started to grow worried about it, to the point of making herself sick. She died when Boromir was only ten. His father became grim and remote and so Boromir felt the need to be the one you could rely on, especially for his younger brother. This maturity gained at a young age made him a disciplined and courageous man. His father always favored him, praising him for every good training session of his. Hopefully this never damaged the relationship between the two brothers.
When he was skilled enough to battle, he joined the army. He had of course a title as captain. If some might have thought this title was not well-earned, they changed their mind seeing his valor and bravery on the battlefield. He later was given the title of Captain-General and a rumor of High Warden of the White Tower title has been whispered lately.
