Boromir's Application!
Click up ^ there to check out Boromir's application, if you want to! Boromir is the eldest son of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor. It was Denethor who sent him to Rivendell in the hopes that Boromir would be able to bring the One Ring to Gondor. Of course, the course of action the council decided on turned out to be quite different from that and Boromir joined the Fellowship, not only to represent Gondor but in the hopes that the others will eventually come to their senses and allow him to take the weapon of the enemy to Minas Tirith.
Boromir is first and foremost a soldier. He's strong, brave, and always willing to protect those who need protecting. He's stubborn and has a quick temper that often clouds his judgment. But he also has a gentler side to him that not a lot of people see. He always has the best of intentions in mind, even if that may be hard to see at times because, instead of seeing the big picture, Boromir's only real interest is in protecting his homeland.
Friends--If you can get past his tough exterior, I don't see why a friendship couldn't form. As of right now, he's not "friends" with any of the members of the Fellowship but perhaps that will change when, and if, he gives up the notion of taking the Ring to Minas Tirith.
Enemies--This one is quite obvious: Sauron, Saruman, and everyone who works for them. I love drama so as soon as we start getting some of these blokes on the board I would love to work something out with them!
Lovers--Boromir's never been married. He's devoted his life to his profession so I don't see him ever having been in any serious relationships. Right now, none of that will change since he's out and about with the Fellowship, but if any ladies have an idea here I'm more than open to listening to it.
Others--Faramir and Denethor...Nothing more needs to be said about that...Especially Faramir. I would love to see someone snatch him up for me!!!!!!!!!!

Frodo and Boromir: First of all yay Boromir! Okay, so they're both part of the fellowship, so they'll be forced to travel together for the next while. Anyway, I'm thinking Frodo and Boromir might have this 'agree to disagree' sort of attitude with each other for the most part. Boromir wants the ring to go to Gondor, and Frodo definitely doesn't. I don't think they'd ever really manage to be friends, since I think Frodo would always be very wary of Boromir, and I don't know about Boromir, but I doubt he'd agree entirely with the ring-bearer's decisions. So I don't know...just acquaintances or something? Let me know any other ideas you have. |

Boromir & Frodo--I agree completely with everything that you've said. They're going to be nothing more than acquaintances forced to work together out of necessity more than anything else. Since Boromir hasn't completely given up the notion of the Ring being taken to Gondor yet, I could see him pulling Frodo aside one day to try to talk him into it, whether it happens while they're in Moria or once they get out of that mess.

Frodo and Boromir: That sounds good to me. He can pull Frodo aside any time. It should be interesting whenever they get to talk. =] |

Éowyn&Boromir
Canonly, I don't think these two ever met, but if they do somewhere along the lines of this RP, I can see friends as long as she doesn't know he wants to take the ring from Frodo. Even then, if he explains it to her later on, I can see her forgiving him. Plus, she ends up marrying his brother, so... *shrugs* I can see them having a sibling-y relationship (is that even a word?!).
add/modify/delete anything :3

Boromir & Éowyn--I think that at first they'd get off on the wrong foot with each other, especially if Boromir ever spots her playing around with a sword. I think he'd believe that women have no place on a battlefield. But, once she starts to get to know Faramir, he'll try his hardest to get along with her.
Boromir & Frodo--Whenever you want to do that thread we can. We can just have it in Moria so we don't get too far ahead of ourselves in the timeline.

Frodo and Boromir: that works for me. If you want to start it that'd be cool. =] |

Boromir & Frodo--I probably wouldn't be able to start anything until tomorrow but, if you can get something up sooner, please do so. As a matter of fact, it might make more sense for you to start it so Frodo can wander away from the rest of the group because I don't think the others would let Boromir just pull him aside.

Frodo and Boromir: Actually, that does make sense. I'll start something later today then. =] |

Boromir & Tari[/b] I always loved Boromir and would be sad if he were to die, I had an idea actually on a way to save him if at all interested, something I'd have to run by you and Phips, none the less I can see Tari speaking highly of Boromir as he has strength and courage, he spends his life protecting his people and is dedicated to always doing what he sees as the right thing. I do not see her hating him but admiring the strength in which he shows, if they were to get talking at all I can see her possibly giving him details on the forming of Gondor. Unless he were to insult her I do not see her hating him. Your thoughts? [/blockquote] Boromir & Eadwyn[/b] Should the two ever meet I am unsure on plots, I think he would remind her of her ex-husband a bit, his loyalty to his people and his skills in battle would bring back memories and for that she would look up to him. He might even make her smile for real from time to time if at all possible. I do however see them also having rough patches and possibly battling it out via words as she knows battle skills and is not afraid to fight, mainly to protect Eowyn but if Boromir does not think battle is for women this could cause some debates to rise between the two, again if they should ever meet. Your thoughts? [/blockquote]

Boromir & Tari--Of course I'm definitely very interested in your idea that will save his life! =) I don't see any reason as to why Boromir would ever insult her so I think these two will get along just fine. He would love to hear about the earliest days of Gondor from someone who was alive to experience them. He's always been very fond and proud of his heritage.
Boromir & Eadwyn--I agree with everything you've said. They'll get along for the most part but when the topic of fighting comes up they'll have their disagreements with each other. But I'm sure with Eadwyn and Éowyn on his tail about women in battle, he might actually change his views on that issue.

Éowyn&Boromir
bwahaha, I love it! They could totally be like bickering siblings. Or whatever. XD And Éowyn would be so offended by Boromir being all anti-woman-swordfighting and whatnot, and yeah. I love it!~

So right, first off, Boromir isn't dying. =] I'll be PMing you sometime in the near future with a few possible plot ideas but it's all quite up in the air right now since there's a number of characters that would be involved.
As for plotting, Boromir and Legolas, I wouldn't call them enemies, but I wouldn't say they're friends either. They didn't get off on the best foot at the counsel and Legolas doesn't quite trust him; partly due to their conflicting nature/demeanors, partly due to his loyalties to Aragorn. I'm not entierly sure how Boromir feels? I think they'd act civilly among the others and generally not interact much on their own, maybe having a few things they agree upon, however Legolas would not hesitate again to speak up against him were he to bring in his personal interests or otherwise contradict or argue a choice of the fellowship, especially if made by Aragorn or Gandalf.

Boromir & Legolas-- =) I'm very happy to hear that he's going to live! I agree with everything you've said. They won't be enemies but they'll also be very far from friends. I don't see them interacting much on their own, although it could be fun if we could figure out some situation where it's just them two needing to work together to get out of a jam. I don't have any specific ideas in mind there but I'll try brainstorming something up and you could do likewise if you're fine with that idea.

Boromir && Faramir
Boromir helped explain all those puberty-related issues to a very young, very frightened Faramir due to lack of mother and, well, Denethor. In the canonverse, Faramir does not hear from or of Boromir ever again since his journey to Rivendell, save for the distant sound of his horn. Do you think it's possible to change this, at least by a little? It would be dangerous for them to exchange letters, especially since Boromir is moving from place to place quite quickly.
As for Eowyn and Boromir (and Eadwyn)'s gender-role-sword-fighting-women-and-power conflict, Faramir would be there to promote a happy friendship/family. Just don't ask him to choose between Boromir and Eowyn. |
