greetings...new here but hardly new to tolkien...

While there are SO many awesome characters i could talk about i have to say that my FAVORITE character would have to be TURIN.
i love the story of Turin, so dark and tragic and just AWESOME! i mean people talk about Romeo and Juliet being tragic, romeo never had to find out JUliet was actually his amnesiac sister! i loved turambar from the first time i read the story and i love him even more now that i've read the unfinished tales...all that extra stuff about his childhood...how cute he was as a child, why did so much bad have to happen to him?!
my short at the moment and i cannot adequately put into words why or how much i LOVE Turin. but turin is just so bad (what woman doesn't love the bad ones?)and yet so good...and undeniably cool!
