++ Maedhros
Shouldn't all you lefties vote for him?
My reasons for liking him are pretty much mentioned already (nothing beats the pride of the sons of Fëanor), although he's nothing like one of my favourite characters. Mostly it's just that Bilbo annoys me, in a way. Well yes he's an alright old chap but I don't like his.. greed. Laziness. Ignorance. Selfishness. All those traits were visible in the Bilbo of The Hobbit, and I possess all of them to some extent, myself, so maybe I shouldn't complain about them.
I don't even really know why, I just prefer Maedhros.
