Young Círdan
Lord of the Falas, Guardian of Ereinion Gil-galad

"Young" being subject to debate, since Círdan was one of the oldest Elves in Middle-earth -- possibly one of those who awoke at Cuivíenen; Tolkien was not specific, but he was old enough to have been around and an adult during the time of the Great Journey, so this would be Círdan during and/or before the First Age (depending on when you think the First Age actually began.  There's significant debate on the issue).  

This Sim was done as a gift for a friend; the body mesh and the skins for both the body and head are new (although I decided to keep the belt and necklace accessories from the other version), but the mesh for the head is the same mesh I used in the version of older Círdan in Ages of the Sun.  The earring (hey, why not, it's a sailor thing) is a part of the body mesh, and will disappear whenever he changes clothes, so if you use this body with another Sim head, it'll show up.

Now, before anyone else asks, "Why is he so buff?" (someone already did), I would point out three things:  1). These posed shots tend to make the characters look a bit more exaggerated than they actually do in the game, 2).  Elves were not frail, and 3). persons who do a lot of swimming, diving, and sailing tend to develop considerably in the upper body.  This was intended to be a sort of "summertime" thing (hence the "beach" background in the left image), and somehow, I didn't think it would be appropriate for a younger Lord of the Sea-Elves to be skinny and fish-belly pale.  Dark tan didn't quite seem appropriate, either, so this is the compromise I decided to make.
