[Lotr] TC / color / minion help ?
Replies
I recently created Firstborn and Kinslayer, and I'm planning on making them into tribute pets for the Noldorin High Kings Fingon and Maedhros who appear in Tolkien's Silmarillion and History of Middle-Earth.
I'm mainly looking for generic 'high elven' items (I've got some items from the High Fantasy CT already but I'll likely need doubles so I can get them for both of them), and items that would match with the characters' personal storylines while keeping them somewhat connected to each other. Silver, gold, fancy delicate things? Anything else Lotr elves might have? Any and all ideas are more than welcome.
For those who are not familiar with the characters, here's brief summaries for each.
Maedhros
- the eldest child of Fëanor (who created the silmarils and eventually ended up getting his branch of the family exiled)
- bound by oath to seek revenge and return the silmarils back to his family
- followed his father into committing the First Kinslaying.
- After the death of his father, Maedhros's only act as the High King was to get his butt kidnapped by the First Dark lord.
- lost his right hand.
- gave up his crown to Fingon
- Still bound by the oath, he and his brothers attacked another elven kingdom and instead of capturing the silmaril, he ended up becoming Elrond's foster father with his brother.
- died by jumping into an actual volcano.
Fingon
- called Fingon the Valiant
- Maedhros's half cousin, and their fathers never really got along with each other which eventually led to the cooling of their interactions as well.
- joined the first kinslaying on Maedhros's side without asking questions, and was later betrayed
- had to walk through a deadly glacier after the Fëanorions burnt the ships instead of sending them back so the others could cross.
- after finding out Maedhros was kidnapped, Fingon left on a rescue mission alone and managed to free his friend with the help of the Eagles. (lbr the eagles are the only competent characters in Middle Earth and nothing would ever happen without them)
- became the beloved High King of Noldor and helped to unite the people.
- fought
valiantlyagainst the first dragon. - ended up dying because maedhros arrived 15 min late to a battle with starbucks
I'm not set on color/species for either yet, but so far I've been thinking about the fancy peacock experiment for Firstborn + reborn neela for Kinslayer, but I'm not feeling 100% about either.
