If you could be any character in Arda....?

[*Varda*]

If you could be any character in LotR etc. who would you be and what would you do?

I would be Varda smilies/smile.gif lol reason i don't know...i just like the name and i like stars and the Valar are cool smilies/biggrin.gif

[Mornie Alantie]

hhhhmmmmm.... This is tough.I would probably be a maiar(maybe Olorin smilies/smile.gif ) or a Vanya of high birth.

[Rose Cotton]

It would be cool to be a hobbit. I'd like to be Rosie Cotton but she dosn't participate much in adventures. So I'd have to say that the person I'd most like to be is Eowyn. smilies/biggrin.gif

[*Varda*]

Although i think being Luthien would be quite cool smilies/smile.gif

[Ithaeliel]

I'd be a commoner elf or Yavanna.

[Aldagrim Proudfoot]

I would be a hobbit, maybe Fredegar Bolger, cause I wouldn't have to go to the War. smilies/smile.gif

[lathspell]

Either Galadriel, because of her knowledge and she partipated in many adventures, mostly on the right side of it.
Or Elendil, dunno why, just like his adventures and personality.

greetings,
lathspell

[Arwen Imladris]

I think this has probebly been done before but oh well.

This is kindof strange but despite my name I think that it would be fun to be Frodo. He is smart for a hobbit. I would have chosen that for my name except I am a girl and I figured it would make people think that I was really wierd, as aposed to just wierd. smilies/biggrin.gif

If I couldn't be Frodo I would either be an elf or Gandalf.

[Feadolena Nolfare]

I would probably be Gandalf, who is my favourite character. Of course, if I could be myself, or myself only as an elf, that would be best smilies/tongue.gif
If I could be Vala, I would be Ulmo, no question there smilies/biggrin.gif
Being Arwen would be cool too, if only because she marries my Arrykins smilies/tongue.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I'd be Luthien or one of the Teleri.

[Pallando]

I would be Gandalf or Eowen. They are both strong in mind and spirit.

[merlilot]

Hobbit or Elf, no question.

[Anarya SilverBranch]

I would be Nessa because deer are my fav animals or I would be Melian because I just think shes cool smilies/biggrin.gif

[maleliel]

I think I would probably have to be... hmmmm... Luthien cos I think she's one of the best characters or an Elf in Doriath. I also wouldn't mind being a member of the Faithful from Numenor! I would definitely be an Elf though!!! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gayahithwen]

Well, my favourite characters are Maedhros and Gil-galad.. Though I don't know if I'd really want to be them.. First of all, I like BOTH my hands just the way they are and second, I think that I don't want to die that much.. If I recall correctly, both of them died at the end of their lives ( smilies/tongue.gif smilies/wink.gif)

So I guess I'd been.. Well, some elf.. Preferable someone that allready lives in the West.. or maybe I should be a maia? Those are cool as well!

[Daniel Telcontar]

My highest wish is to be a noldo elf, since they are the coolest. And of Fingolfin's lineage, if not himself. They do the coolest things, and are feared by all their enemies.

[ June 26, 2002: Message edited by: Daniel Telcontar ]

[Ruthwen]

I'd want to be Elwing! Because she's just the coolest.

[Rosa_Baggins]

I probably be a hobbit but theres no female hobbts that goon adventures so i would be Galadriel or Eowyn!! smilies/biggrin.gif

[dragongirlG]

Rosie Cotton! You have to love Sam. smilies/biggrin.gif

[mystra]

i would be eowyn!!!!! or perhaps celeborn, or galadriel (?!). an ordinary elf would be okay, but id rather actually participate in the ring thing. ooh! faramir!!!!!! yay! ill be him! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Valedain]

I have no great love for the Valar and enjoy being in positions of responsibility if not great leadership. Guess that makes me a Balrog. Where do I pick up my wings?

[The-Elf-Herself]

I love to be a plain old commoner nobody elf. That way everbody'd leave me alone, and I could travel as I wished without anyone caring. This would preferably in the Third Age(I don't think I could get away with it in the others smilies/wink.gif ). I wouldn't be especially beautiful, and I wouldn't have any special talents. That way it would be hard to identify me(get the idea I like to be anonymous?) smilies/biggrin.gif

[Elrian]

Celebrian smilies/wink.gif with a name change.

But i'd settle for being just an Elf from the Havens or Rivendell.

[Faramir]

I would be Faramir because hes my favorite character and he has skill in battle.

[Milady Revenwyn]

I've got this thing about Eowyn for some reason. Ever since I first read Lord of the Rings back in 1998, I've wanted to be Eowyn. However I happen to look like a hobbit, so I guess I'm the original Hobbit-Shieldmaiden

[The Only Real Estel]

Guess that makes me a Balrog. Where do I pick up my wings?

Oh, now there's a two & a half year old controversial comment if I ever saw one! :p

[Nirvana II]

Aragorn or Illuvatar.

[Este of Lorien]

Este. She's living in a very beautiful place, and she heals others. :) And her husband is cool. :D

[eowyntje]

If I'd look at the character, I'd definitely choose Eowyn, I'm most like her.
But Eowyn's position isn't a perfect one, and just as Eowyn wans't happy in her position, I don't think I would be happy.
So looking only at the situation, I'd pick any random ranger, traveling through the wild fighting bad guys is more my idea of a perfect day in middle earth.

[mormegil]

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.

[Celebuial]

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]

Imrahil, Aragorn, or Theoden...

Theoden has some good lines "Forth Eorlingas!"

[Thurin Adanedhel]

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.

[the guy who be short]

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.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

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?

[Urwen]

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.

[Folwren]

This thread is quite humorous to read through.

Several girls chose Eowyn, because she got to have adventure and she has spirit. I wonder...would girls now adays really be willing to go through what Eowyn did? She went for adventure because she was hopeless and heartbroken. She endured terrible pain physically and emotionally when she went for that adventure. Yes, she's got spirit, but it cost her a great deal, and her 'adventure' was bitter. I love Eowyn, but I do not wish to be in her place.

Someone went for Frodo. He may be one of my favorite characters, but I wouldn't want to BE him. Same goes for Sam.

I think I would want to be Rosie. She's a hobbit, so she's got it comfortable - except for during Sharky's rule in the Shire, but her folks didn't do so badly during that time. She's spunky and fun, so that means she's got spirit in her own way (and we all know hobbits have got more than anyone wants to give them credit for). And she gets to marry Sam.

And the reason I don't choose some Valar or Maiar or something is because I really don't want that much power. And elves live too long.

[Pitchwife]

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

For as Iluvatar, I could right several wrongs.

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

Then why did you drown it in the first place, Miss Ilúvatar? Or have you changed your mind since?

As for me, I guess I'd choose Bilbo. Getting to spend my last years among the loremasters of Rivendell sounds like an ideal plan for my old age.

[Eönwë]

I think I might actually go for Tom Bombadil.

Totally carefree and happy, yet wise. Oh, and immortal (which I wouldn't like to be as a human, but as Tom Bombadil, it would just be part of my nature).
Not to mention having a wife to share the immortality with.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Oh, for me it would be Tuor. Not only getting to see one of the most beautiful places in Middle-Earth (if not THE place - I mean Cirith Ninniach, of course; Gondolin was fine as well, but Cirith Ninniach is Number One), and seeing the Sea itself literally come alive with the coming of the Lord of Waters, not to mention seeing...
(quoting my current signature for the future time when it is changed)
"The Great Sea he saw... Its measureless plains he surveyed with the swift sight of the Valar, lying windless under the eye of Anar, or glittering under the horned Moon, or lifted in hills of wrath that broke upon the Shadowy Isles..."
And not to mention getting the "quest" from the most awesome (literally) "quest-giver" you could probably get around there :) and also this wonderful cloak (in fact, I would be in serious hazard of just deserting from my mission simply because I'd want to keep it...). And I could go on and on. And all in all, Tuor is just brilliant.

[Mithalwen]

And she gets to marry Sam.


She also gets to have13 children... which is rather a daunting prospect... I'd want to be Eowyn but not for the adventure, but for Faramir... :Merisu:

[Galadriel55]

I'd want to be Eowyn but not for the adventure, but for Faramir...

It would be great to be Eowyn!

I have a question. When you "become" the ME character, do you also start thinking, feeling, and acting like that character ( ie you adopt the character's nature), or do you reain your own self, just in a different body? The solution would be choosing an obscure character on which you can elaborate in any direction, but that's not really fun. :p

If it's the first, Goldberry would probably be my choice. I think Eonwe has a good point about her and Bombadil - cheerful carefree life, but not really as simple as a hobbit life would be.

If it's the second, the choice is much more complicated. If I were to live a life of a different person but keep all my beliefs and the like - it's more like which role is closest to what I am. Thorin would fit rather nicely, but his gender doesn't. I guess I'll go with Morwen - not really because we are alike (which we are not), but because she's one of my favourite characters.

Don't bite my head off for this, please! - but it would also be somewhat fun to be a very evil character; my choice would be Glaurung, or Ungoliant. After you explore the "good side", it's fun to well, act evil. Just for a while.:p:o

[Folwren]

Well, if you retained your own character and beliefs, you wouldn't be that character, would you? No, you would be transporting yourself, so to speak, into that character's place and into that character's name.

Mith, possibly hobbits didn't have hard labor. Maybe they are like our animals who don't usually have complications with carrying and childbirth. After all, so far as we know, there was no 'fall', so to speak, which means there may never have been a curse of painful childbirth.
Besides that, I would love to have a lot of kids. Not thirteen, certainly, but I know several families who have around that number. And each subsequent birthing seems to make it easier.

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Hmm. Halbarad, or maybe one of the 30 rangers that formed the Grey Company. ;) Simply because they were Rangers! Which is similar to my lifestyle nowadays anyways!

Celebrian. Because she's married to Elrond :Merisu: haha!

Elros! :) Because he was the first high king of Numenor...whose descendants just happen to be the Dunedain *whistles*.

[Galadriel]

As strange as it sounds I'd love to be Mahtan :p I sit there and do nothing, and yet get to see what all happened in Aman.
Then again, I'd also love to be Galadriel ;)

[Galadriel]

Celebrian. Because she's married to Elrond :Merisu: haha!
.

Why didn't I think of that?
