Hm. Good question.

Tom Bombadil I suppose...

Not because I'm First, or the Master of anything in particular - and, honestly, I never make up and recite silly poetry in public nor strut around in bright yellow boots - but rather because I'm quite satisfied as long as I've got a good woman, good food and drink and some music and hiking for entertainment, much like Tom

Hmmm...I would say Eol, but that Elf simply has no sense of humor. Although spearing my ex-wife doesn't sound like such a bad idea...

*daydreams*

Errr...I'm joking, merely joking. Ummm...Saruman is cranky enough but I don't care to wear white. Gandalf? Cranky as well, but I don't tend to meddle in other people's affairs.

Okay, I will say Smaug. A nice dry wit and a mean streak..

Hehe...

And speaking of dragons, I probably have a bit of Glaurung in me. All my friends say that I stare at them...

Of course, though, there are really many colours Saruman could wear.

Hmmm...I still think I'd prefer my belly encrusted with diamonds and precious jewels. What a fashion statement at the beach!

You scare me. Quite a bit. Is that bad?

No, not at all. Actually, I've mellowed over the last few days.

This is a thread about characters. Which person/creature/entity/whatever from LOTR reminds you most of yourself?

I just realised that my character doesn't fit the criteria either, since Thorin does not appear much in LOTR... If it's only LOTR, then... erm...

Well, I'd prefer to be Gilraen, but I'm not that kind of person. My personality is pretty close to Gimli's too. Nice and pesimistic, he is.

I was actually aware of that. I thought my answer was rather apt given my screen name I'll get my coat.

None of them, actually. I like the dwarves, but I don't have a beard. And I like the Ents, but there's no entwives and I don't like the attitude towards them anyway. (And I do like bumping spammers off the page.)

That is easily solved, my love.

I just took the Barrow-Downs personality test again after several years, and even though I feel I've changed a lot, I'm still Boromir (with a strong resemblance to Aragorn). This is awesome because I've always related to him - he's proud and does what he considers right and his duty. And if his notion of doing things right is different from the rest of the Fellowship's, he speaks out even if he's in the minority.

On my last reread of LOTR, I realised I'm also very much like Merry. I'm bossy just the same way.

And my last reread of The Hobbit proved me it's not very difficult at all to relate to Thorin either. I would be on edge (and mean) exactly like him if I was the leader of a company of 12 dwarves and a stupid hobbit, plus I see myself when his principles and haughtiness start bordering on ridiculous stubbornness.

Also, I am sure you all will be thrilled to know I just took another personality test on Selectsmart and scored 100% as Sauron. I don't really know how I did it, but I am extremely amused.
