Rynoah, the Overly-Happy has just left Hobbiton.

Boromir is my favourite.
It's the ordinary 'stock' characters like Aragorn, Arwen and Gandalf that everyone loves and cheers for, but it's the characters like Boromir and Gollum which give the LOTR it's real emotional depths. They are both flawed characters - Gollum is driven mad by greed, Boromir is so incensed by the slaughter of his people that he does not think of the consequences of his action - they are complex, with both flaws and virtues - just like all people.
That sums up my feelings about Boromir right there. I also loved Faramir in LotR.

But, I was also quite in love with Bard from The Hobbit for the longest time. He still holds a place as one of my favorite characters.
