Which Male Valar is your favorite?

[Gwathagor]

I wouldn't say he's irritable. I seem to recall Tolkien writing that Orome didn't get mad as easily as Tulkas, but when he did, he'd get REALLY mad and certainly wouldn't laugh like Tulkas would.

I like Orome more than others simply because he's...Orome. Part of it is what Gwath said. I like forests, but I also like Orome's character. It's hard to explain the exact thing that I like in him; he's...fair, I guess. Patient, but terrible in anger...
Mandos would be my second choice, and Ulmo - my 3rd. Melkor is pretty cool, though. Mandos speaks very little, but whenever he says something, it's something really powerful and weighty. I chose Ulmo because I love water, and that's reason enough.
