LotR: Umm... Aragorn! ^^;
As for the Sil... Feanor, you son of a silly person. Heh. Despite the fact that it would quite likely result in my death... ah well. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] The Perky Ent -> Lol. Mmm... smoothie. I'll bet Bombadil could kick some arse. If anything he could drive the enemy away with endless streams of rhyming verse... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Aah, just kidding. I like Bombadil. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] <font size=1 color=339966>[ 11:52 AM January 19, 2004: Message edited by: Altariel ]

LotR: Theoden (greatest man in the book)
Sil: Beren (mmhmm ... he didn't really fight, did he? ... so I would perhaps choose Fingolfin) EfR |

LOTR-Theoden Gil-Galad, good idea to add the Sil. to this question. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |

I don't know much about the Sil but considering all the things I have heard about him I would choose Fingolfin.
LOTR: Thranduil because I think he has the potential to kick major butt. I know he wasn't really in there so if you what a more prominate character I would have to choose Elrond.

Sil- Beleg, Tuor, or Earendil. Or Idril.
LotR- Hmm. Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, Faramir, Prince Imrahil... I'd fight beside any of them.

Well I haven't read the Silmarilion, so from LotR I'd go with either Gandalf or Eomer. Gandalf because he is definitely one of my favorite characters and Eomer because I would most likely be on horseback. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

FOR FUN: umm, probably Gimli, because I would have so much fun competing with him, seeing who killed more... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
FOR PROTECTION: Legolas, becuase he's a true Renissance man REAL LIFE: Arwen and Eoywn, becuase simply... GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

Do i need to say it, really?
LOTR: Éomer (woah, big surprise!) and Prince Imrahil. I dont think i could be a foot soldier, Horseback for me as well.

As a Hobbit, the thought of fighting fills me with horror.
In a battle, I'd probably act just like Bilbo in the Battle of the Five Armies. |

Silmarillion :- Túrin Turambar (I like danger!)
2nd Age :- Elendil LoTR :- Elladan & Elrohir (Given their Elvish skills and hardened Ranger mentalities I cant see anyone - good or evil besting them in combat during the 3rd Age)

In the Silm I would probably most like to fight alongside Beleg Strongbow (one of my very favorite elves). Or maybe I'd like to be in the service of Finrod (one of my other favorite elves).
In LOTR probably Theoden (riding horseback...cool!) |

Id fight with Elrond in the last alliance. Sure id probably just be standing on the sidelines hoping not to get myself killed waving a flag cheering... It's the spirit that counts!

Heh, fighting is not my forte... speaking my mind is, however...
In the LOTR, I felt that the best person draw sword with would be Aragorn... since he would probably be king anyway, and would probably reward anyone who he deems heroic...  It is probably a bad idea to fight alongside Sauron or Saruman because they won't give a fiddlestick about who are their allies.In Silmarillion, it is probably a bad idea to fight alongside any faction at all... except for Eonwe, the Herald of Manwe. The reason for this is that, almost all factions loose out in the end, and the only ones who finally benefited are the Numenoreans, who are supposed to represent the men who joined Eonwe...In the Hobbit, the obvious thing to do would be to fight the orcs and share the treasure!

Sil: Definately Turgon. I really like when the gates of Gondolin opens, and a shining army appears, that is just great!
2nd age: I'd probably sail around with Aldarion, because I like boats. Lotr: That would be the Rohirrim. Riding like the wind in many days, and finally appear on the fields of Pelennor, blowing horns and filling Gondors people with hope. Truly a great moment!

*Well, I guess I'm the only one, but in a hand-to-hand combat Sam because he would fight untill he was dead. (With pots and pans, too!)
*Legolas and Aragorn in a major battle because they are just so darn cute! No, really. Legolas never (well, hardly anyway) misses, and Aragorn is a kick-butt leader and great swordsman. * And finally, Eowyn, Gimli, and Tom Bombadil or any of the eagles would be great too. Haven't read the Sil. so, no oppion on that one.

Sil - Finwë
LOTR - The Balrog I chose Finwë because...well...he's a awsomly cool elf. And I chose the Balrog because...well think about it. We could take on all the orcs at pelenor fields by our selves.

And the reason a balrog would attack a bunch of orcs is...

Fighting baddies
sim. - azaghal ( isn't that the dwarf-king who killed the dragon?) I want to die nobly
LOTR - Gimli, he is just crazy! Last Alliance - Elendil, it would be fun to throw myself on sauron shouting, "Taste cold steel, you big bully!"

Well, the Balrog would have tons of reasons for fighting orcs! I mean, why do you think the orcs ran away in Moria when the Balrog showed? There is no longer an alliance! So Bill (my name for the Balrog Gandalf killed) and I would tear up every orc, mumakil, and Haradrim in Gondor!

In the appendices, it says that the Balrog gathered the orcs and trolls etc. so i would think that he would fight along his minions

Sil- I'd want to fight alongside Fëanor and Túrin, but then my commonsense would kick in and I'd do the sensible thing and stick with Fingon/Turgon (don't forget Fingolfin went nuts when he thought the Noldor lost completely- at least Turgon kept his head
 ).Lotr- Definitely Gandalf or Gil-galad.

First Age: Finrod, of course.
Or maybe Círdan. He founded the first amphibious assault team (Firth of Drengist - twice - and the Mouths of Sirion) Second Age: Ciryatur. His army annihilated Sauron's forces. Cool.  Third Age: I love ships. Thorongil during the assault on the quays of Umbar.

Faramir didnt really have a place on the field of battle. Aragorn would be too suicidal for me. Plus i'd have orc blood all over me from his decapitations.

In defense of Aragorn, every time he was in a major battle in LOTR, (all the ones I can think of), the odds against him were staggering. To win, he just about HAD to be willing to risk life and limb. And, well, in battles with orcs, you will be covered in blood no matter what you do, wouldn't you?

Sil- Beleg Cúthalion I think (a personal favourite)...Or how about Hurin, the greatest human warrior ever lived. (or Fingon or Turgon or Fingolfin or Turin or....)
LotR- Legolas I think. Absolutely NOT because of Orlando Bloom, but for his incredible skill with that bow of his... The Hobbit- Bill (the troll). I think an allied in the size of a troll could come in handy in a battle

strange, i probaly would never fight for legolas...or ratehr beside him... i would gladly fight for Thranduil in the battle under the trees, meeting Celeborn in teh joint attack on Dol Guldur, priceless... but it would be suicide for Oropher, sinceh e charged head first at the black gates
