Fandom: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Name: Boromir
Canon Point: Post-death
History: History
Personality: Boromir, Son of Denethor and the Steward Prince of the kingdom of Gondor, is a man with a lot of honour. He is one of the finest warriors Gondor has produced, and, as such, is often arrogant about his position. Being the heir of the current Steward of Gondor, his father Denethor II, this is a bit understandable.
Despite this, Boromir is an honourable man. He fights for his people and his country, and would die to protect them. Even whilst under the influence of the One Ring, he wanted its power to protect his people, and to free them from Sauron's grasp once and for all.
As a member of the race of Men, he is susceptible to Evil's whims. During the journies of the Fellowship, and close proximity to the One Ring of Power, forged by the Dark Lord Sauron, he was pulled further and further into darkness. The Ring used his impulsiveness and his desire to take over his soul and mind, going so far as to attempt to take the One Ring from the Ringbearer, Frodo Baggins, by force. The Ring played upon this weakness, showing Boromir to be easily enticed by power.
He is shown to be impulsive and demanding. During the council, where the three races met to decide the fate of the One Ring, he demanded that the Ring be used to destroy Sauron, for the protection of Gondor. It was Elrond, and the rest of the council, who disagreed because of the likelihood that Sauron would sense the Ring so close to Mordor's borders.
After this, Boromir joined the Fellowship of the Ring, swearing to protect the Ringbearer on his journey to Mordor to destroy the Ring. During these travels, he grew fond of Pippin and Merry, two Hobbits who journeyed with them, teaching them combat and other useful things to help them survive.
After he realised what he had done to Frodo, Boromir was instantly ashamed of what he did. He tried to call the Hobbit back, but Frodo ran and left to continue the journey on his own. Boromir felt guilty and ashamed of his actions, knowing that, even if the Ring tainted his desire, it was still his desire that broke the Fellowship.
When Orcs were following Pippin and Merry after their attempt to distract them from Frodo, Boromir ran to their aid, and, even as an Uruk'hai archer shot at him, he managed to slaughter a fair few of them before he eventually fell. He did this out of a desire for repentance, but also displays his loyalty to his friends.
Boromir is on relatively close terms with his immediate family. He is close to his younger brother, Faramir, constantly looking out for him, despite his father clearly preferring Boromir. He sometimes defends Faramir from Denethor's distaste, as he knows his father's view of his brother is not correct. He always obeys his father's commands, even doing things he does not want to do, showing loyalty to both his father, and the Steward of Gondor. An example of this was when he was ordered, reluctantly, to attend the meeting of Elrond's Council.
His dying words to Aragorn were that he would have followed him as a king. He viewed Aragorn as the king of Gondor in those last moments, showing his loyalty as the steward prince by acknowledging the presence of the true king to the throne of Minas Tirith, and of Gondor.
Ultimately, despite his many flaws; being quick to anger, impulsive and easily corrupted by power, Boromir of Gondor is an honourable, passionate man, who will do anything in his power to do his duty, to both his people and his friends. Despite being corrupted by the mere presence of the One Ring, he overcame it to protect his friends, even dying in this effort. A man of principle, but easily swayed by power.
Skills | Powers: While he isn't magical, or holds any specific power, Boromir's skill with a sword is near-unmatched in all of Middle Earth. He is widely considered one of the greatest warriors in the realm of Men. He shows above-average strength and stamina, and exemplary sword skills.
First Person Sample: [Accidental Video]
[The feed starts with a view of a pair of boots, pacing slightly, before a man's voice calls out.]
Aragorn? Legolas? [No answer. The man's voice is wary.]
Merry?! Pippin?! [Louder, more worried.]
...Frodo? [Quieter, more unsure. The boots pace about on the feed a bit more...]
Where am I?! What is this place? I... [The pacing stops, the owner of the feet facing the tablet. He takes a few swift steps towards it, scooping it up. The worried, bearded face of the tablet's owner appears.]
What in the name of Gondor is this?
Third Person Sample: Even if he had already done so, he wouldn't betray them again...
Boromir's sword glints with Orc blood as he dispatches yet another of the monsters. He fights to protect the two hobbits, to repent for his actions. To repent for the fact that he had failed in his duty as a member of the Fellowship...
It wasn't my fault. It was the Ring. But he knew... The Ring only played on his desires. It twisted them, manipulated them into doing its bidding. I only wanted to help my people.
Another orc falls, it's head seperated from it's body. He seems to be doing perfectly fine alone, until a sharp pain pierces his chest... An Uruk-hai arrow sticks out, the pain piercing through his thoughts also.
No! He was not going to go down. Not now. Not while Merry and Pippin were still in danger! He already failed once. He wasn't going to do it again. Not while he still drew breath!
He doesn't bother pulling the arrow out, instead continuing to hack up the advancing orcs. The Uruk-hai remained behind, advancing only to get a better aim, the son of Gondor's martial prowess well-known. The other orcs merely a distraction so that the man won't take out the archers.
It takes two more arrows to finally bring Boromir to his knees, but the steward prince of Gondor has claimed many orc lives by this time. They had already taken Pippin and Merry from before his eyes, and the Uruk-hai leader stepped forward to claim Boromir's life.
I have failed again... His thoughts race as he stares up at his enemy. I have failed my people... The Fellowship... Middle Earth itself...
He stares at the Uruk-hai as the monster draws his bow back. He knew this was the end...
