Character Profile – Fingon the Valiant

Names
Sindarin: Fingon
Quenya: Findekano
Sar: The Valiant Pancake, Balrog Bait,

Background and history:

Fingon had a perfectly normal, perfectly good life, thanks very much, until that time his Uncle went crazy, convinced the family they all needed to move to Middle Earth, killed a bunch of people, and then left them to die in the grinding ice. He still has a lot of issues surrounding that one that come up when it gets cold out.

Fingon has more issues stemming from the fact that his best friend was kidnapped by Morgorth, kept prisoner, and lost his hand when Fingon finally found and rescued him. He has issues with that too, but it's not like he's going around angsting or anything, it's more a thing he never talks about.

Besides the issues, Fingon's also the one to throw himself whole heartedly into most endeavors. While he's definitely not a planner, he's a do-er who ensures that stuff happens and is usually right there making it happen. He's the boldest of his siblings, determined, and doesn't take no for an answer well. He also constantly needs to be doing something, which means he's usually begging his brother for a list of things to do.


Character Points: Fingon is more impulsive than his brother, and he's also got a hand in just about every event going on in the city. He's probably more apt to play good cop than bad, coming off as generally nice, and well liked, even though he has a penchant for accidentally having dangerous situations fall into his lap.

Appearance: Tall, dark haired.


Face: Louis Prades


Likes: dark chocolate, shopping, children (he'd seriously love to have, like, twenty of them), dogs, music, Maedhros, His family, having projects to do, blue, tea, high places, smoking,

Dislikes: His reputation as a kinslayer, blood (that is to say, he can handle it on the battlefield just fine but afterwards, or when it doesn't have to do with war wounds, he doesn't cope well), injustice, Being In Charge, Feanor, coffee

Character Profile – Theodred

Names
Dred, for the most part.

Background and history: Dred's uh...his father's son. Watching them interact leaves little doubt as to THAT. He grew up as Prince of the Mark, but that didn't mean he wasn't always a bit of a dork. Dred loves horses, A lot. He has never met a horse that he didn't want to take home and adopt and take care of, and in the past, he's brought them into the Golden Hall, as foals, if they needed extra care.

Dred tends toward the dorky side. He's insecure, kind of un-confident in his fighting abilities because he tends to mess things up physically, but he's a damned good rider and horse trainer and has managed, over time to eek out a system for mounted combat that puts him in a position where he can fake the rest. On the field anyway.

Dred also happens to be what we call legally blind in his day and age. In his case, this gives him an extremely limited field of vision to work from, and he has no night vision at all. He tends to downplay the fact by joking about the fact that he has old people eyes and stuff, but it also leads to him making a lot of mistakes that wouldn't be an issue if he could actually see what he was doing. He fights with a spear, from horseback, because that gives him a really good reach and aim and because he's spent a lot of time training horses who can help him compensate for this.

He's come into the game and said he was a noble, but not royalty, since he saw this, after meeting Theo, as a chance to just be Dred for a while, which he's been enjoying.


Character Points: Dred is a dork. No seriously. He's a big fat dork. He's really insecure about his sight and tries to hide his problems with it constantly, but manages to be pretty accident prone due to it being an issue. He's tended to downplay this fact from people where he comes from, including Theoden, not because he thinks they'd freak, but because there's not a lot to DO about it, so it'll be interesting to see if it comes out here or not.

Appearance: Tall, skinny, ginger


Face:


Likes: horses, teaching, books, donuts, horses, riding, chess, war games (if dnd were a thing? He'd play) , strategy, horses,

Dislikes: not being able to fight, looking like an idiot in front of people, being underestimated, people who think he's stupid cause he's from Rohan, disappointing people, when he's proven wrong about things.




Character Profile – Alagos



Background and history: Alagos is from a future version of Middle Earth, with technology roughly on par to that of Earth's 17th century. He grew up in Dol Amroth, where he had a fairly unremarkable childhood until the age of thirteen, when he was seized as a captive and taken to Umbar, where he became a slave to a nobleman there.

Seeing that he was skilled in inventing things, especially weapons, Alagos's master attempted to put him to work on actually manufacturing these things, and lent him out to other nobles to help with whatever problems they might have. This...never sat well with Alagos, and he never quite got the hang of being a good slave, especially when he made sure that everything he manufactured would fail.

Eventually, his failures got him put on a slave ship, until the day he woke up in what had been a cargo hold, and was now a tea shop in Gondolin. He's been here ever since, for about four months now, and vowed not to let anything like what happened to him at home happen again, opting to get fighting lessons in the city. Turns out, he's almost as good with a rapier as he is at spouting SCIENCE!Y goobledeygook that does over people's heads. Actual swords or other weapons? Not so much though.

Alagos comes off as reserved and quiet at first. It takes a LOT for him to warm up to people, and he's been known to get flinchy at Men who are obviously not Gondorian or Rohirric. He also doesn't do well with authority at all. He tends to default to being a yes man when he's confronted with authority issues and figures, and gets really nervous around them. He has a difficult time with eye contact with anyone, and fears pissing people off, especially when he thinks they might hurt him.

Lately, Alagos has been spending time with the Guards, and, while he isn't a member yet, he's very much attached to them, and has wound up doing proto CSI type work if the need arises. He's also not saying that coming here was a bad thing, even as he's adjusting to being free again, but he WOULD like to know how it happened and wants to help the Powers That Be to determine these things.

Character Points: Alagos is brilliant but he's also very very reserved and tends to avoid authority figures who terrify him. He often looks really nervous and darts around a bit. Once he's calmed down, like with his fencing teacher, and some of the elves he's known since he's gotten here, he's a lot easier going, and tends to not be as stressed. He's prone to spouting off highly technical stuff that most people probably would roll their eyes at, and "invents" really stupid things in his off hours.

Appearance: Average height with dark blond hair, and tattoos on his knuckles from when he was taken as a slave.

Face: Mark Hildreth



Likes: Quiet, experiments, Trying things out, the library, fencing practice, most of the guard, his lab space he works out of


Dislikes: horses, authority figures, being yelled at, confrontation, violence,
