I think in some ways it would be neat to be Ingwe...High king of all elves and in such close fellowship with the Valar, living in the blissful realm...seems pretty good to me.

I'd love to be an Elf or a Vala. Maybe Yavanna or Varda, but I don't know if I would be able to cope with the responsibility of not interfering. I don't think I could cope with all the sadness and torment that goes with being an elf. That prob'ly means it would be best if I was a Man or a Hobbit who didn't have much to do with the great affairs of the world. Maybe it would be cool to be Ellanor. She's loved greatly, by not only her mother and father but by Frodo for a short while too. I'd also get to live close to the Grey Havens. Yeah, I think that'll do. Elanor Gardener/Fairbairn for me!

Imrahil, Aragorn, or Theoden...

Theoden has some good lines "Forth Eorlingas!"

I would like to be one of the Vanya Elves, living in the blissful realm with the Valar. Or else, maybe one of the Noldo Elves of Finarfin's household, who remained in Valinor rather than returning to ME. They had great lives of bliss and happiness.

In ME, there is Glorfindel, my favourite of the Elves. Or Elladan and Elrohir, the sons of Elrond Halfelven. They always seemed pretty cool to me.

I would love to be Iluvatar and do whatever I want. Then again, I suppose there would be a lot of stress with the job. And eternal life... nope, doesn't suit me.
Very well, a young hobbit from Bilbo's extended family would do.

I would love to be Treebeard.

I would like to be as much like Treebeard in this life, but there is an awful lot of pressure to.....y'know.....do stuff.

A mad world, eh?

Oh, I'd love too be Iluvatar...for a different reason though.

For as Iluvatar, I could right several wrongs.

1. Bring Hurin and his entire family back too life.

2. Bring poor Aredhel back to life.

3. ORDER the Valar to raise Numenor from the sea and to bring all people who died there back to life. Including their queen.

4. Make Turin Manwe's subordinate, and Lalaith apprentice of Tulkas. Just because Lalaith and Tulkas both have laughter as their herald.

Then I will call upon tsunami to delete all traits of Hithlum...and forever strip the plague away...and destroy Nen Lalaith.

Why destroy Nen Lalaith? Well, it's because it's not needed anymore. For something much better is there. Living and breathing embodiment of it.
