I supose I would be a Elf of Lorien. They have great fight skills. And great weapons like their longbows and swords.

I would be an elf, I'd preferably have a full suit of Mithril. (Preferably.) Maybe even a blanket. And a really cool helmet that strikes fear into the heart of my enemies. For weapons, generally, I'd like something that hurts.

I suppose by Middle Earth, you rule out Aman? No Vala then.

From the ME folks, I'd definitely be a wizard. A cloak and a good sword is enough for me. :P

Gorthaur Cruel, if you were a wizard, why would you need a sword? You'd have the cool magic. And the cooler staff.

I would want to be a man of Dol Amroth. A heavy chainmail Hauberk would do me quite well, with maybe a heavy leather vest (aka Eomer in the movie) on top. A wide bladed, heavy two handed sword would probibly be my choice of a weapon. I'd also carry about an eleven inch dagger on my leg. If wearing a helm, I would probibly opt for something similar to early saxon style, with a nose guard, ear flaps, and curving guards encircling the eyes. Over all would be a flowing cape of light blue. In this garb I would gladly follow the Lord Imrahil to whatever end may take me.

Not sure whether I'd be a Man or an Elf, but if of the races of men, then Son of Gondor, and the following gear, assuming I was going on a journey and not directly into battle in which case I'd want as much armour as possible.

Black Gondorian tunic, black breaches, Gondorian soldier's cuirass with gorget, a light helmet with ear-slots to allow better hearing, one-piece shoulder pauldrons, Gondorian vambraces, rearbraces, one-piece tassets with engraved sea-bird wings like Elendil's, cuisses with attached polleyns, tall leather lace-up boots like Faramir's, Gondorian cross-belt with either a bastard sword or a two-handed greatsword, several daggers of varying lengths, a longbow and quiver of arrows, a large grey-green or black cloak, and no chain-maille to save weight and make less noise.

Just that? However woolly the cloak, you'd be bothered by drifts round your, m-mm, wossname, nether parts, I reckon

. Also cool sheath touching on naked skin on cold winter's night is not a pleasant thing to be touched with likewise...

Just kidding

Summarizing, so far, we have some elves, some men and one dwarf.
