IGN : Familiar_Fez

RP character : Fingon

Faction : Hithlum

Lore of Fingon(till FA 400) : The eldest son of Fingolfin, brother to Turgon, Aredhel, and Argon. Born in Tirion in between YT 1190 and 1300. He was among the Noldor who followed Feanor to Middle-Earth to aid his uncle in reclaiming the stolen Silmarils from Morgoth, the black enemy. After the betrayal and burning of the stolen Teleri ships of Feanor, the Noldor following Fingolfin were abandoned in Aman and were forced to cross  the dangerous, foogy waste of Helcaraxe in which many of them perished in the crossing. Thus, began schism in between the Noldor host which followed Feanor and the Noldor host which followed Fingolfin.as a result of Feanor's negligence. Disunited, Fingon intended to heal the feud that has divided the Noldor after both sides arrived by rescuing his cousin, Maedhros. Maedhros was captured by Melkor and chained to the Thangorodrim. Fingon climbs the Thangorodrim. In fear that his search was in vain, he begins to play music in which Maedhros(suspended) hears and sings to the tune Fingon plays. From this sound, Fingon was successful in finding the mountains where Maedhros was hanged. Despite his success in finding his imprisoned cousin, Fingon was unable to reach Maedhros hanging on a sheer cliff face. Maedhros initially begged Fingon to kill him to put an end to his pain. Feeling hopeless, Fingon cried out to Manwe, King of the Valar for assistance in saving Maedhros. As soon as his prayer was heard, Thorondor, King of the Great Eagles of the FA, appears from the sky, flies down, and carries Fingon to where Maedhros was chained. Unable to break the chain, Fingon resorted to cutting off the right arm of Maedhros in order to free him. Thorondor then brought the two back to Hithlum where the rest of the Noldor were encamped. Maedhros, being the rightful heir to the High King of the Noldor(Exiled) after Feanor's death, gives up his claim to kingship in honour of Fingon's daring rescue. Therefore, Fingolfin, father of Fingon becomes high king of the Noldor and finally united the divided exiled Noldor that existence since Feanor's abandonment. Fingon was given control over Dor-Iomin, southwestern part of Hithlum. With his father, Fingon guarded the pass over Ered Wethrin into Hithlum from Barad Eithel. Interestingly, Fingon was the first to encounter Glaurung upon his emergence from Angband during the Siege of Angband.

Why Fingon?: I feel that it is easy for me to take on this role because it seems that we share similar qualities in real life such as being resilient in our plans despite how much the odds are stacked against us. Driven by his loyalty to his family, he was the only one in his family to daringly attempt to save his cousin whereas others would've stayed behind in fear of getting caught. I like to be able to help new and inexperienced players in my faction and be of great service to them. Considering he's not king until FA 472, I am more than happy to take on this role to serve as sort of a right-hand man to the leader of Hithlum, Fingolfin since I feel that leadership is too much of a responsibility for me. With my assistance, I hope to ease the burden on the faction leader by taking part in community builds, preparing for wars and guiding new members.

How will I tackle this character?: I will establish strong ties with the Feanorians personally since they're led by my cousins and will aid them in reclaiming their Silmairils. I will take my role seriously and not "meme" during rp events. (Avoiding using Acronyms, making jokes) I will also seek to be friends with most elves and men in Beleriand. In the event that somehow a certain good faction is conflicted with the Feanorians, I will remain neutral and take no interest in assisting in kin-slaying and/or killing men as I am not driven by the oath. Nor will I stand against my own cousins due to my loyalty towards them.

'''What do I offer to this server? '''I will most certainly be active most of the times to build, help new members and pursue my plans for a defensive war just like I used to when I was the king of Numenor in TSA. I hope that my playstyle and planning will be of a challenge to evil players should they be a great threat.

Experience: Been playing this mod for 10 months. First started playing a moded server on TOS as a Grey Dwarf. As mentioned previously, I was the king of Numenor for a month or two on TSA and now realise the difficulties of being a leader.

Thank you for reading my application and I await your approval!
