Back from the wilderness as well but facing a (too) early morning call...
So just a few comments.
I do agree with a few here about Gondor being rather stagnant than energetic.
Many of the choices share the same problem: you could say, in a sense, they are energetic, but that is in no way the first or obviously commanding feature that comes to mind thinking about them, and without a kind of an "aha!" - moment that comes from an innovative POV the picks areb mostly a bit bland...
What would that leave then?
Beorn - Right. Berserk rather, but no one can deny he's energetic when he so wishes.
Butterbur - Right. As someone said "stressed" or busy" rather, but you can't deny him being energetic when he has energy to be that way.
Thorin - Right. Even if you could find a more fitting red tater for him he does fit the description.
Beregond - Like someone said, a quite nice POV (to me the only one that kind of came even near something like an "aha!" -moment).
Mayor Moneybags - Well. Certainly made me smile. Kind of stands out in this company with it's hilariousness, being more or less the opposite in between the mostly mediocre candidates.
Sauron - Like many of the above: right, but yet not exactly energetic. Couldn't Sauron have waited for a better green tater?
