Re: What race would you be?

I'm convinced that I'm at least half Hobbit. I'm shorter than all my friends, have curly brown hair, like meals, and
I don't like to have anything to do with noisy machines. Plus, the Shire sounds like absolute PARADISE to me.
I'd be a Hobbit, and nothing else.

Re: What race would you be?

I took an Elvish name, but I, deep down, am a Hobbit inside! Since they are certainly an offshoot of Men, it's not really that far a stretch.

What could be better than the idyllic community of the Shire, with nothing worse to worry about than invitations to Birthday Parties? (Except occasional Adventures!)

The finer things of life!

That's what being a hobbit is all about!

You can keep your dwarvish avarice, your elvish dooms, your mannish folly!

Hobbit's don't rule!

...who needs the hassle?

Re: What race would you be?

What could I be but an Elf? Others here (and you know who you are) have said they feel more akin to a Hobbit, but didn't Samwise yearn to hear tales of Elves? To live and laugh and sing and dance (yes, and eat and drink..where's that Bot?)in Rivendell for a time, however fleeting, would be grand indeed. Come on over and visit, you Hobbits! You're welcome anytime.

Re: Race?

I love walking under the starlight, I never get sick and I am already surpassing fair <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> so I think I AM elvish. In any case that's what I'd want to be. I'm surprised at the number of ppl who voted for dwarves. In LotR Gimli is a noble soul and Thorin's company are generally good folk but in general they're too greedy and grasping for my taste.

Re: Race?

Dwarves have their own beauty, and just because they love things of gold does not mean they are heartless. Under their they do love beautiful things and have fine craftsmanship, and its not their fault that their nature is to have a lust for gold. If you're talking about greedy and grasping look and the elven king in mirkwood, he had a lust for gold to...

Re: Race?

I, myself, would be of the elven. They are pretty much everything I want to be: wise, fair, long-lived, respected, and uncannily whimsical. Of course, like any race, they have their downpoints. On the whole, though, I would rather be among those who love music, verse, nature, and languages.

Re: Race?

Dwarves are the best! Sure, they're not tall or pretty, but they have pretty much everything else going for them. I would go so far as to say that Dwarves were better linguists than the Elves!

Re: Race?

yes, dwarves are good at learning tongues but elves are good at descrinbing things. both the dwarves and elves have greed, but i dont think that they should be discriminated for it. they do overcome it in the end

Re: Race?

i never said dwarves arent i just meant that elves are good at descrbing things above ground and stuff like that while dwarves are better at stuff below ground. but usually elves have a better way with words than dwarves do. i dont mean always or with all things...

Ent! Ent! How come so few people say Ent? I love Ents! Good at languages, have their own very good language, names that are stories, trees (I love trees), slow, long lived, good, not greedy...
I'm very musical and I love singing, so maybe Elf - but I like Ents best. Ent first choice, then Elf, then I guess Maia.

Re: Race?

I supposed this was just for the races that are from Arda. Seeing how wizards are maia and the maiar and valar are ainur, and the ainur come from outside the circles of Ea.

What race ???

A first I said Elf staright away but come to think of it each race has its good points.
Elves are just way cooler and laidback (and they get to hangaround with the big guys ie. Valar)

Dwarves get to grasp loadz of gold and expensive stuff that I like quite a bit

Humans don't have to worry about that pesky 'foreverness' and some get to be Rangers who are just so....hardman lookin, like gelled hair, billowing long black coat.... that sort of thing

Ents are pretty cool cos they have that drink of theirs.

Hobbits are great cos they eat, eat, eat and did I mention EAT !!!!

From any of the others i'd like to be a Maia, little responsibilities like cleanin Manwe's shoes but powers of shapechanging and such !

This is hurtin my head, I just can't choose. I'm gonna have to go and lie down. I knew this thinkin thing wasn't good for me..LOL

What race?

It would be nice to be Sylvan (I don't know what has come over me, but hopefully it will pass...) for a while. To live in the forests, sheltered from the outside world under the eaves of Eryn Lasgalen ('Mirkwood') before, during, or after it's darkness. For the halls of the Elvenking were a merry affair, and there would be much feasting, and drinking, and merry making, for elves they were and remain, and that is Good People. And where they maintained their realm the forest was green (a very dark shade of green, but green none-the-less) and pleasant, and no evil things abided.

&quot;Their Oath shall drive them, and betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures they sought to pursue.&quot;

What race would I be?

I would be a hobbit. I find them to be very appealing. I love the way they make even the thought of the possibility of getting a meal so appealing. They seem to be very down to earth. Plus I like that they have never intentionally killed another hobbit, at least not those in the Shire or Bree. I would like to live in either the Shire or in Bree. To me, the hobbits on their journey up through Bree is the most enjoyable part of LotR.

Re: What race would I be?

I find the way of the Ents very appealing. If I could spend all of my days in a forest, particularly a somewhat enchanted forest, I would be in my element. The only problem is the Ents are just the Men of their race and the women where lost long long ago.
