Hi Elite
It's not really true that we don't have any great proposal at hand
This matter has always caught the attention of many people among the Edain Community, especially the English Community, I have to say, from the very 'earliest times' of the English Community itself, if I'm not wrong.
Therefore, it's not a surprise if users started to deal with this aspect very soon.
Anyway, so far, the two proposals 'worthy' of being mentioned (I'm not undermining the other ones, but 'worthy' means that those two proposals have reached a satisfying level of construction and conceptual consistency) are the ones about
Narin and a possible
Chariot Hero.
I will begin to say that I regard the last one as not so complete and consistent yet; if you look at the related debate, you will find that some objections (including mine) have been raised against that possibility.
So, I would say that the chariot hero proposal needs still some further development, if it aims to be a 'competitive candidate'.
Said that, let's talk about
Narin Explaining the whole proposal here would be unnecessary, also because other people have already taken care of this task.
Simply said: it's a very lore accurate (there are references in the lore) suggestion, well structured and conceived in almost all of its aspects.
It was originally an idea of Tienety, then developed by Dáin and CragLord as well.
This suggestion consequently started a very intense and constructive discussion (one of the most popular ones) and it was proven to be accepted by the large majority of the Community via its relative poll.
This is the main and explanatory post of the proposal, but I also suggest you read even the other comments if you want a wider perspective.

EDIT: It seems that I arrived a bit late
Nevertheless, this is the core of the matter
