			I'm a guy from the Netherlands, with a very large fantasy and I would like to know wich character of middle-earth you want to be. By the way, i would like to be Legolas (cause I like elves) and i think Aragorn is also very cool.  greetz Martijn (Celebdalion in Elvish) |

			Aragorn - or a female version of him who is still as cool!

			I don't know of a character I would want to be. There are characters I would want to be with, but I would just like to be myself, well, my imaginary self, the Red-headed elf I imagine myself to be.

			I would like to be a mere and beautiful (which I already am) elven-maiden perhaps staying at the House of Elrond in Rivendell, one of those lovely dark-haired daydreamers, perhaps a friend of Arwen's. Not a thought-provoking character, but one that might catch the fancy of a lord as worthy as Aragorn...   [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

			Rose Cotton.  [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] But if I couldn't be her, I'd settle for being Ruby Gamgee/Gardener, Sam's youngest daughter. There's no information on her so maybe she was a bit like me anyways.

			Most likely I would be Glorfindel or Faramir.  I always thought they needed to be more important than Tolkien wrote them.  Well Faramir anyway.  [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

			Most likely: I would be an elf-maiden. I would be part of the crew that helped to man the ship with Legolas and Gimli when they crossed over the sea (they obviously did not know how to work a boat)...I would look like this because this image really does resemble me a lot: My Icon . If you mean from the BOOKS, then probably Eowyn! Well, that's my opinion anyway!

			Probably Gimli, or some other Dwarf.  I wouldn't to be an Elf, living forever would annoy me.  Hobbits bore me, and men, well I'm already one of those so whats the fun in that.  So yep, definetly a dwarf.

			Mmm...who I probably *would* be is Ioreth's Kinswoman    [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] . Though it would be pretty cool to be a face in the crowd for something like that.  Who I'd *like* to be - my first thought was actually Rose Cotton as well (you get to marry Sam, the best hobbit breathing, and hang out with Frodo et al without actually having to go through Moria or Mordor [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - and you get to live in the Shire!) For a second choice I'd be Eowyn, because does she ever know how to swordfight (I've always wanted to learn how but never have) and also - if I can get slightly novelish here - I do like how she manages to get over her hopeless love Aragorn and realize that Faramir is the right one for her. Being an Elf - no, immortality is a little too frightening. It would be great to have eternity to work on my writing, but on the other hand I would probably want to be friends with humans, hobbits and others, and it would be dreadful to see them grow old and die time and after time and keep living myself, not changing.

			Hmmm, good question. Well, what about Mrs. Sauron?  [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]  You know behind any cruel man, there stands an evil woman!  [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]  Lady of Mordor....That doesn't sound so bad, or what?  [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]  Or maybe "just" a cute elf in Rivendell, with a tendency to daydream a little too much. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

			I wouldn't really want to be one of the characters, just a someone in the time of them. Probably a Hobbit from Hobbiton. Either that or an Elf from Mirkwood. I've actually thought about living as an elf. I think it would be pretty cool.

			I like this question. My first reaction was to pick someone or something that never was in too much danger, since I am a weenie. (I can't watch Pippin knock the skeleton into the well and hear the "drums, drums in the deep" without shivering) Then I thought well, I like the ocean, maybe I would live in the Grey Havens or Bay of Belfalas. But what kind of creature would I be? Perhaps an Ent or Elf, but immortality is a burden when you live in troubled times, really. So, as I like the pipe weed  [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] and sleeping and eating, I will go with being a Hobbit near the ocean. And I wouldn't mind having a friendly wizard as a companion. As long as I didn't have to save the world in any way.  [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

			I have thought about this before...if I had to choose from among the Books,I think I would like to be Frodo.I identify with him,only I'm less important! (lol)  If I could just choose a person,I would be an elf maiden of Imladris,I think,and be around Elrond as much as possible.He is an awesome character,with alot of history.Oh heck...I'll just be Arwen! ;þ

			I think it would be fun to be an Elf, immortal and all. Being Gandalf would be cool I think, I just think it's a great character. BUT I would most want to be a Hobbit. I always talk about em, and I tell people I have Hobbit feet.....but I don't...but I can dream!!!!

			Being an elf would be awesome. I'm not sure I would want to be Gandalf, because I'm not sure I would be able to handle all the things he has to know and do. Were I a guy, maybe Faramir, because he is a good fighter, but he only like that which fighting protects. He is very cool. I would probably want to be an elf though, until I got sick of Middle earth, which i am not sure ever happens, but anyway, thats what I would want to be  [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]  Aylwen Aka Mallory

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]   [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]   [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]   [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Well, that's who i am.
