I think this will work. Put any jobs that a LOTR character would have in the 21st century, or a business they would run, or a society.

Example: First National Bank of Mordor. We'll make you look so rich it'll be evil! Ever feel like your bank is making you seem poor, because no one has ever heard of that bank? Then look no further. Our courteous, enslaved, bank tellers will treat you just like the Second Evil of the World, Sauron!

i think itll work.

It's not a normal job but I think Saruman would have a fair shot at getting elected President.

Nimrothiel · 07-12-2004, 11:03 AM

Yeah, because of his superb oratory skills. Not to mention the fact that he could turn people he didn't like into newts. (Don't worry, they'll get better.)

I could see Aragorn doing something in the construction business; or maybe he'd be a Forest Ranger?

Yeah, I think his campaign would consist of brainwashing the undecided, killing his opponents and enslaving his followers. But maybe I'm being too harsh.

How about Gollum being a tourguide? "We swearsss that we will lead you to your destination, on the preciousss!"

Legolas in a beauty salon? Denethor as a pyrotecnition? Elrond and Galadriel as perfesionel fortune tellers?

Brainwashing the people, oppressing voters, doesn't that sound familiar? President/Dictator....To-may-to/To-ma-to!

I reckon Boromir would make a fantastic nightclub bouncer.

Well, i don't think Sauron would like to be pres. You know, the whole UN thing... But, what about this?

Resume

Name: The World Destroyer Formerly known as Sauron

Date of birth: I have never lived, only dominated!

Former Occupation (If any): Fascist Dictator (Old school, none of that "Neo" Garbage!)

Training: By the best... Until he went mad, i screwed him over, and took over.

Desired Occupation: Corporate Dictatorship

Reasons for leaving former occupation: Um...Err. Heh Heh. Next Question!?

Reasons for this chosen occupation: Well, you see, the old dominion wasn't bringing in enough budgit and i REALLY wanted some new weapons of mass-destruction. So, i figure, hey? This Haliburton corporation sounds interesting. In other words, I've got a brand new pair of roller skates and Haliburton's got a new key, I think we should get together try to work it out you see? I've been looking around awhile and you Haliburton, got something i need.

Hobbies: Being naughty, charming stray animals and evil creatures to do my bidding, Scaring tax collectors and weapons regalia inspectors (Usually turning them into slaves too, so they can play find-and bring-back with weapons i foolishy wore to war not a dinner party.), and other activities that include malice and eyeballs.

it's not the best Resume' but, it will have to do for now.

THE Ka · 10-27-2004, 07:21 PM

Yep. You guessed it! Legolas may be a supermodel, or advertisement for hairspay or aquanet, but NOTHING will top this job...

and he would proably look like this:

And in the dressing room:

Ah. Isn't it beautiful?
