All Time Favourite: Aragorn ( who else! )

Man: Boromir
why: he´s really nice, kind, brave and proud, and I like how much he loves Minas Tirith, and how proud he is of it

Woman: Arwen
why: mostly because of her love for aragorn

Elf: Haldir and Elrond (cannot choose )
why: I love the way Haldir speaks in Lothlorien, all the things he says, his love for his land, and all. Elrond, on the other hand is more distant, wise... he´s another sort of elf


Hobbit: Frodo
why: there´s more to him that meets the eye

Dwarf: Gimli
he´s nice, funny, and well, I like his love for Galadriel, and his friendship with Legolas

Wizard: Gandalf ( closely followed by the Ithryn Luin and Radagast )
I love Gandalf, he´s with Aragorn my favourite character. And I have always been really curious about the Ithryn Luin . And Radagast just seems so devoted to Middle Earth!

Bad Guy: the Nazgul
I find them fascinating, with those black horses and winged creatures

Other: Treebeard
why: well, I love him being so slow and patient, and the words he chooses...

I would also place between my favourites: Turin, Fëanor ( it´s really funny how rude and proud he can be, even to Morgoth and the Valar ), Celebrimbor, Celeborn, Galadriel, Smeagol, Thingol, Huan, Beleg... there are so many...

Righty-o, here's my listage

All time Favorite: Grima Wormtongue, because he pulled a Theoden on me and spoke nice words and made me love him more than any other character. But really, I think he's a very complex character. He's skeevy but always makes us wonder... did he *really* love Eowyn? Anyhow, he's my fanfiction muse because he never shuts up in my head.

Man: Hmmm... lemme go with Faramir. Because of that excellent quote: "War must be... but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend..."

Woman: Eowyn

Hobbit: Sam, for his loyalty and overall adorable-ness.

Male Elf: Maglor... Feanor's emo kid

Female Elf: Luthien, because in a surprising show of role-reversal, she goes to save her man from mortal peril.

Dwarf: Thorin Oakenshield, for his spiffy name

Wizard: Saruman, since he just gets so full of himself. And his voice is nice, if nothing else.

Bad guy: Morgoth, the original baddie! He's so much more hardcore than Sauron

Couples: Faramir/Eowyn, and lets not leave out the Couple that Never Was, Grima/Eowyn. Because Faramir/Eowyn is just a match made in heaven, but I pity Wormy as well. He deserves some love too, ya know.

Hurrah! I like listing...

Remember what Esty said? Let's not forget to say why we like these characters; it makes it more interesting.

Ireth Sirfalas -- Nice to see someone else around here who appreciates Grima.

Tolkien

All time favorite: Faramir. Such a great guy.....drool.........in the books I mean of course......happy smile..........

Fav man: Théoden has some awesome lines. Aragorn of course is up there.

Fav woman: Tar-Míriel, really I would've said Éowyn like most everyone else, but to be different: she was one of the Faithful when the head of the Anti-Faithful was her husband. That's gotta take courage.

Fav dwarf: Dwalin, because I love the sound 'dw' makes.

Fav male elf: Glorfindel, the Balrog-Slayer!

Fav female elf: Lúthien. Haven't actually read the tale yet but from what I hear: she almost defeated Sauron on her own. That's great! (Much better than sitting at home and making your boyfriend a flag, if I may say so.)

Fav Hobbit: Sam, sorry I can't be original, but he's the real hero. "For over shadows rides the Sun and stars forever dwell, / I will not say the day is done, nor bid the stars farewell."

Fav Wizard: Gandalf, not much of a choice is there? (Haven't others said that about Saruman?)

Fav Bad Guy: GRIMA! He's my kind of bad guy (yes I have a kind of bad guy!). He's so calm and collected, so calculating. Not "I'm going to destroy the world!", which is just pointless. And a pitiable character I think...I worry about myself somtimes....

Fav Couple: Aldarion and Erendis! j/k Sam and Roise! Sam and Rosie definitely!

Silmaril Nim's faves

Okay guys, it was some hard choises, but some were easy answers.

All Time Favourite: Legolas! What can I say? I'll never let go of a childhood hero I've just loved that elf ever since my mother read LotR to me the first time... (That'll be about 11-12 years ago now)

Man: Aragorn. He's just cool, do I need to say more? Though Faramir came in as a close second.

Woman: That has got to be Eowyn. For being amazingly cool, showing real woman-power and still marry and be happy in the end. You go girl!

Hobbit: Frodo and Samwise (sorry, but it's impossible for me to picture one without the other!). Because they have the greatest friendship ever, and none of them would have made it alone, but together they accomplished the impossible.

Elf: Hmm, Glorfindel, when not allowed to name Legolas again. Because he was my hero till Legolas turned up. You can't imagine how disappointed I was when Glorfindel was not the one selected to accompany Frodo (the first time only, of course!).

Dwarf: That'll be Gimli. Because he's (almost) the only Dwarf in LotR, because he's cool, because he's able to see beyond prejudice and befriend Legolas, because he's part of a friendship second to none but that of Frodo and Sam, and because he's the only Dwarf to travel to the undying lands in the west.

Wizard: Gandalf the Grey. Good old Gandalf is just THE wizard, no question about that.

Bad Guy: That'll be Gollum/Smeagol. He's got all the characteristics of a good villain, yet there's a hint of good in him as well and though he doesn't mean to he is the one who manages to destroy the Ring.

Other: Tie between The Nazgûl, Bombadil and Fangorn, they're all cool, and very well-written...

I guess that's it really

man: Faramir (book), please read above :P

woman: Eowyn, very independent. You should not underestimate her

Elf: Galadriel, mystic, but so cool. I also like Lórien else in general when it comes to elves.

Hobbit: Pippin, aaww, foolsih Pippin

Dwarf: Gimli, not much to say.

Wizard: Gandalf, wise and mystic

Bad Guy: Uglúk

Other: Gollum, cool creature
