Gimli son of Gloin
--------------
Profile
--------------
Gender: Male
Race: Dwarf
Age: 139, Born 2379
Homeland: Erebor
--------------
Appearance:
Gimli stands at around 4'9, wearing a dwarf armour made of mithril and a rounded Erebor helmet. He has a long Dwarven Beard at a shade of Auburn, with his locks as bold as brass to the House of Durin.
--------------
Personality:
Gimli appears as a stereotypical crude, violent, Elf-hating Dwarf. He is indeed hot-tempered and eager to battle Orcs, and his enthusiasm for the mines of Moria is typical. Gimli has a very high sense of honor (and is very stubborn).
--------------
Weapon(s):
Throwing Axes
Weapon Strengths:
One of the mightest weapons one could have. A single axe can do alot of damage to enemies, two can do twice as much, as it is able to grind the enemies into dust.
Weapon Weaknesses:
The major flaw of the axe is it's weight, if one alone is heavy, carrying two sure is a burden to Gimli. Though he has grown up with the axe and has been taught how to use it, actions can be slow.
--------------
History:
Gimli was the son of Glóin, one of the former companions of Bilbo Baggins. He was a remote descendant of Durin the Deathless, father of the dwarven people. Gimli belongs to, but was not a member of the royal line. (Gimli was also the first cousin once removed of Balin, Lord of Moria). It is also stated in the Unfinshed Tales that Gimli was prevented from traveling with his father on the Quest of Erebor, Thorin and company stating his being too young as the reason. Gimli, being in his 60's, considered himself ripe for adventure and was disappointed to be left behind.
"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."
—Gimli
When the one ring was taken to Rivendell, fate had brought Gimli, with his father, Gloin, to Rivendell to seek the advice of Elrond. As a result, they were summoned to the Council of Elrond, where Elrond believed they would find the answers to their questions and would be able to contribute. Whilst there, Gimli volunteers to accompany the Fellowship to Mordor to destroy the One Ring.
