Well, I know Aragorn is no outlaw, but I have to admit that I often got my images crossed and thought of him as similar to
Richard Green's Robin Hood. Yes, I know that Aragorn is no bowman, but Robin Hood did also carry a sword, hide out in the woods, keep the place safe for the good local yomen against a nasty usurper, and harbour a love he could not have. A bit of Erroll Flynn with English nobility--I think that's how Green's Robin Hood was described and that fit my sense of Aragorn too.
Designer stubble just didn't fit into my mental image, nor short stature.

I'm so terribly sorry,
narfforc that you've lost your early imaginings about the characters. Does this mean that your parody work owes more to the movies than to Tolkien?
