 Captain of Gondor | Captain of the Rangers of Ithilien | Thirty-eight | Against Saruman
Faramir is Denethor (II)'s son and Boromir's younger brother. Despite being Captain of Gondor and trained as a ranger, he despises fighting (& environmental degradation), preferring the arts (& environmental appreciation) instead. His duty now, however, is to protect Gondor, so most of the time he should be within the kingdom, or with an ally/allies if summoned.
Friends
While courteous to those he meets, it takes a long time for Faramir to grow close to another -- so far, he's only close to Boromir* and Gandalf/Mithrandir. Beregond as well, to a certain extent. He may call you a friend, but that's usually for politeness' sake. Still, he can provide amiable company, though not after taking a (very) long some time to judge whether he can trust you or not.
Enemies
Anyone/thing on Saruman's side, basically. I can also imagine those still loyal to his father seeing him as a threat in general. On a much more personal level, (deliberately) harming the environment and/or refusing to manage resources in a sustainable manner is to Faramir what abusing a newborn horse is to the Rohirrim.
Lovers
Love, to Faramir, whether purely platonic or involving sexual attraction, cannot be moulded: he cannot possibly pick someone out and transform them into what he desires; rather, he can only wait for them to come along as what he desires. Eowyn, Eowyn, White Lady of Rohan...
Family
Faramir still yearns, in secret, for his father's acceptance. He still misses his mother, despite noticing certain familial (physical) characteristics shared between her and his uncle, Imrahil of Dol Amroth. He loves his brother, and wherever the war may take them, I do not think he would ever stop loving him. Faramir is THE man to move to Ithilien and grow a garden there and raise a happy family with a few puppies and kittens and birds and horses because boy does Eowyn love horses and host play dates for his children to form deep friendships with visiting Hobbit children. Or something. #Feelings
*Depending on Boromir's roleplayer. [/blockquote][/justify] |

WELL HELLO THERE *shot* Ahemmmm. So here's what I was thinking for this particular pairing  ~~ Faramir is Boromir's brother and is close with both Boromir and Gandalf. So since Eowyn trusts both of them (because Gandalf is like, the leader of the Fellowship, and Boromir is in it) she's bound to very easily trust Faramir as well. She might be a little bit wary of him at first, since he's Denethor's son, but she mostly will accept him. Now for the fun part ;] I was kind of planning for Eowyn to have her Aragorn crush at the moment, so what would be really cute would be to maybe have Faramir kind of like her first, and for Eowyn to be oblivious, and for him to be kind of jealous of Aragorn? Yeah, it's not COMPLETELY formed in my head yet. But that's the general idea. Let me know what you think! <3 |

You just warmed my soul! I am so sorry for not replying earlier. My man-eyes tend to miss the logout button.
Since Faramir did fight alongside Gandalf and the Rohirrim against Denethor's forces, perhaps he and Eowyn had first met then? Faramir would not completely trust her at first as well, but I do think he would be rather quick to cast any initial suspicions aside, especially, as you said, with Gandalf around.
I wouldn't be surprised at Eowyn's obliviousness. Faramir wouldn't let these sorts of feelings show. Especially when they mainly and/or mostly stem from Eowyn reminding him of his mother. Jealousy would be very probable, although he would try very hard not to let it show, since, well, Aragorn is his king. He'll just... write poetry in his head, I guess. |

XD yeah, Faramir is much less apt to show his emotions than Eowyn is. Eowyn's just like 'heyyy aragornnnn' and all throughout the movies, that made me giggle to myself. Teeheehee. Ahem, anyway..
As for the fighting, yes! She was like second in command in the Rohirrim (seeing as her brother is first in command) while fighting against Denethor's armies. So having her fight side by side with Faramir and having Gandalf as a link between the two would soon wash away any worries about allegiances, at least from Eowyn's point of view.
Anyway, maybe Faramir could be a shoulder to cry on (so to speak, not as if she'd actually do such a thing) when she gets gently rejected by Aragorn? I don't think she even likes him, really. She just wants to like him, or likes his appearance, or who she thinks he is. Which is great, because they can all end up as friends in the end (i hope).
Threading? :]

Frodo and Faramir: A lot of respect and admiration coming from Frodo regarding him I think. The fact that Faramir stands by his morals rather than what his father might want is a bold move, and Frodo would really respect him for that. While Frodo is a hobbit, and he's not very skilled at fighting or anything, he'll still attempt, and it's possible that maybe sometime Frodo may help Faramir, or try to help Faramir do something.

Faramir & Aragorn: I don't know if you'll agree with this, but I see Faramir being like Aragorn's right hand man in Gondor. He respects the fact that Faramir doesn't seem to be shy to make either friends or enemies on principle alone and the king is not much different himself. I think they would see eye to eye on many things, but not all. Aragorn certainly would value a lot Faramir's word and advice and truly listen to him as he gets to know Gondor better since it was a long time ago since he fought for Steward Ecthelion against Sauron. He needs to get reacquainted with the lay of the land and I see him trusting Faramir to help him with that.
Faramir, Éowyn & Aragorn: Since the Éowyn subject is floating about, LOL, I thought about adding my two cents here while I'm at it. Aragorn is in love with Arwen for about 67 years now and it is unlikely that will change anytime soon even if her future player decides that she will reject him. LOL. So being he is not emotionally available to Éowyn, just like in canon. He though has a great respect for her just as well as for Faramir. So he will be gentle and nice to her. He'll show Éowyn that because she is so young, really young when compared to Aragorn himself, that she is actually in love with the idea he represents and not with him as a man. He is also a very perceptive man, who has a lot of life experience. I actually see Aragorn gently pointing Faramir and Éowyn in each other's direction, if you are both agreeable, if not only because he sees them in a high light and would like to see them happy with each other once their vibe gets to him. Certainly the king will be there to bless their union.

Eowyn and Faramir
While Faramir had that strange, pseudo-creeper gaze in the houses of healing. Will Eowyn make stew for him?
Faramir would try his best to comfort Eowyn! How would he know, though? Would she tell him, or would he have to, er, analyse her, then somehow confront her about it like he did in the novel? It could get slightly awkward: "...Um... the night is lit with stars... let us stargaze... would the stars comfort you, Lady Eowyn? ...Would you like a horse?"
Edit: I posted a thread here. You can reply to it, or start your own.
Frodo and Faramir
Respect and admiration from Faramir to Frodo as well. Faramir would be moved by the fact that Frodo (more or less) managed to survive the emotional weight the ring had on him, and would respect him a lot for that. Faramir despises fighting, but due to the exigencies of war, he could possibly teach Frodo a useful survival skill or two.
On a lighter note, Faramir would be very interested in Shirefolk culture.
Aragorn and Faramir
That's actually what I had in mind. Having learnt of Isildur's fall and much of Gondor's history from Gandalf himself, Faramir holds practically zero resentment towards Aragorn in terms of becoming kind after all the years (and effort) the ruling stewards had put into managing Gondor. He has a lot of genuine faith in Aragorn, believing that he will, in the end, bring peace to Gondor. He would try his best to give Aragorn unbiased information on the land, or present to him multiple perspectives per topic.
Aragorn, Eowyn, and Faramir
The first thing I thought of was a double date between Aragorn/Arwen and Faramir/Eowyn. Why you datin' in a warzone?! Anyways. Well, I wouldn't mind Aragorn the pseudo-matchmaker at all. Everything's just going to be so awkward at first, what with Aragorn being Faramir's king and Faramir suppressing his jealousy. |

eowyn&faramir
XD You have no idea how much that made me laugh. But to be completely blunt, yes she would make him lots of stew if he wanted it lol. And awesome, I shall go post in the thread~
eowyn&faramir&aragorn
yay for a threesome! XD Anyway, I definitely agree with everything. I think it'd be awesome if Aragorn were to point the two of them in the right direction, and it would be so sweet to have him give his blessing or something at their wedding. <3 So yay!

Frodo and Faramir: Maybe we can have a fun little thread where Faramir gives Frodo some helpful tips on fighting and Frodo shares some stories about the Shire. Just some fun and getting to know each other better or something.

Faramir & Aragorn: Nice that we seem to see eye to eye on how their relationship would be. Also I guess Faramir knows that Aragorn was responsible for healing Boromir's wounds after Amon Hem as the happenings at Rohan happened some time after the destruction of the ring. Legend says "The hands of the King are the hands of a healer, and so shall the rightful king be known." So another reason for Faramir to believe Aragorn as the rightful heir to the throne. Faramir, Éowyn & Aragorn: Should be interesting how this scenario plays out at first with the obliviousness, the wrongly aimed crush, the gentle pointing and the veiled jealousy. Certainly, at the end of it all, Aragorn would give them his blessing as their friend and be present at their wedding.  |
