Applying for:

Fingolfin

Introduction: 

So, I have been thinking about joining the good side of LOTR mod for some time now, because I almost never do. I think that I am fit for the role of Fingolfin. The old Fingolfin, crafter6789, was banned for 3.5 weeks because he was x-raying. Hithlum deserves a better leader than that. I hope you enjoy the application and consider me for this important role!

Lore:

Fingolfin is a Ñoldo who was born in Tirion during the Noontide of Valinor, son of Finwë and Indis. After the Ñoldor left Valinor he ruled Hithlum with Fingon, as High King of the Ñoldor in Beleriand. He married to Anairë and had Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel, and Argon. He was known as the “strongest, most steadfast, and valiant of his brothers.” The fighting began as soon as Morgoth was released from his imprisonment. Due to Morgoth believing in his imprisonment was the fault of the elves, his hatred towards them had only grown. He sought the downfall of the elves. The first to succumb to the deceitful lies of Morgoth was Fingolfin’s half-brother Fëanor. Believing that Fingolfin was trying to steal the place as rightful heir to Finwë’s throne and the Silmarils.This lead to him threatening Fingolfin at sword point. Later, Fëanor was exiled to the fortress of Formenos in the north of Valinor. Their first physical fight against the terror of Morgoth was during a festival where Morgoth attacked with Ungoliant destroying the two Trees of Valinor. Then they attacked the fortress where Fëanor was located, killing Finwë and stealing the Silmarils.

Why do I want to be Fingolfin?: 

I’ve played the Lord of the Rings mod for quite a while now. However, it seems I do the same thing on almost every server I ever play on. I’ve come to the realization that this is happening again on this server, and I want to change that. I’ve always really wanted to play the game as an elf, and Fingolfin is one of my favorite elves in Tolkien’s Legendarium. I’ve always admired everything about the elves in LOTR. Back when I joined my first LOTR mod server, I joined elves. I really enjoyed playing as one! I really want to be able to play the game on the good side of things and enjoy the aspects of role play exclusive to them.

My Goals as Fingolfin:

Fingolfin, I want to create a prosperous kingdom in for the elves who reside within. I don’t want elves to feel unsafe in their own lands. I want to be able to assist the Sons of Fëanor is their quest revenge against Morgoth to avenge Finwë and recover the Silmarils to the best of my abilities. I will not let the evil of Morgoth spread from the north if I became Fingolfin.

Why Pick Me?: 

I’ll start off with that I am a very active player on FA, being on almost every day for a few hours. I’ve been playing the LOTR mod for almost 2 years now. I’ve been a leader before, and I think I’d be able to do it again. I think that many factions are ready to declare war on the server, and I believe that I would be able to properly defend against Angband and other evil factions. I’m pretty good at strategy and pretty good at PvP as well. This would be good because the leader of a major good faction should be able to defend their kingdom. I would not only be able to defend my members from evil raids and sieges, but I would also be able to supply them with the support they need outside of PvP, like helping them get alignment for the faction, getting modified gear, and giving them food. I am also a good recruiter. Before I left good (before server launch) I brought at least 5 players to Dorwinion, which was the faction I was affiliated with at the time.

Thanks for reading my application, I hope you enjoyed reading and consider me for the position. ~AW
