 Rp character: Fingolfin

 About the character: Fingolfin was born in Valinor in 1190 TY and was the eldest of two sons of Finwe and Indis. He lived in peace in Valinor for centuries until Melkor was released from imprisonment who sought to bring ruin upon the Elves for causing his downfall. Melkor was welcomed into the Nolder and corrupted them with lies one of the Noldor, Feanor, was told that the sons of Indis (Feanor’s half-brothers) were trying to usurp him as the heir of Finwe. Finwe was not fond of his half siblings and easily believed the lie and confronted Fingolfin drawing his sword. For this he was brought up in front of the Valar and was banished to the fortress of Formenoss for twelve years until he grudgingly reconciled with Fingolfin at a festival in Valinor. But Melkor attacked the festival killing the Two Trees of Valinor and darkening all of Aman and took Feanors Silmarils, his prised jewels. Feanor sought revenge on Melkor (now Morgoth) and convinced the rest of the Noldor to travel to Middle Earth where they would find Glories and untold treasures. He also convinced Fingolfin to accompany him to Middle Earth. Fingolfin ended up becoming leader of the second largest of the three hosts of the Noldor. On the way to middle earth Feanor met a group of Teleri elves and attacked them Fingolfin saw this and thought that they had been attack by the Teleri Elves and joined in. In the night all but Feanor’s most loyal left him on the Teleri ships. When they got Middle earth they were assailed by an orc army in Lammoth resulting in the death of Fingolfin’s youngest child. Fingolfin and the Noldor came upon the shores of Lake Mithrim, from which the Feanorians had withdrawn. Morgoth killed Feanor and captured his son Maedrhos who had come on a false parley was then rescued by Fingolfin’s son, Fingon who he had been friends with. Maedrhos briefly became king of the Noldor until he met Fingolfin who was now Finwe’s second son and waved any claim of leadership hoping this would keep his people together. Fingolfin became High King of the Noldor in FA 7 and then established the siege of Angbad after the victory at Dagor Aglareb and ruled in peace from Hithlum on the shores of lake Mithrim.

 Experience/Reasons why: I have played on TOS, TOR and SA being a dwarf twice, an orc (changed from dwarf to orc) and a man once I decided since the first age was the age with the most elves, that this time I would be an elf. I have enjoyed being other races and I like the ship designs of elves and the elegant building style which is something i want to do a lot of.

 Leadership: Fingolfin is the Lore ruler of Hithlum so I am also applying for leader of Hithlum. I was leader of the dunedain/colonies on SA and I participated in many RP events. I was active almost daily and will be on FA. I also ran a FB and a Discord for my faction though it was small but I kept in communication with my members.
