Hmmm. Well, can you think of any groups of people who are not male-dominated cultures? I can't.
Doesn't change my hope. I still wish to be a Rangeress.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-15-2003, 11:18 AM

Rohirrim, and I believe the Eldar.

Linaewen · 04-15-2003, 11:31 AM

Oh yeah. Sorry. *smacks hand on forehead*. I'm on late again- you will notice that whenever I go on around this time it is very late, and my posts reflect the temporary stupidity I am in.

Bombadillo · 04-15-2003, 01:39 PM

My ME equivalent:
I would be a man of Esgaroth Upon the Long Lake. A nice sort of suburban culture there likie I have, and right on the shining waters of the Running River. (and not far from the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain or the Elvenking's hall in Mirkwood)

That or a Brandybuck in Buckland, by the Brandywine River. But I'd be a tall hobbit.

Realistically, I wouldn't make the cut as a Ranger, I would be overly bored in the Shire, and I can't drink so I can't live in Bree. And a beorning, I'm too lanky and flexible and pale.

Lizra · 04-15-2003, 01:54 PM

Lin, After all's said and done....I like being a housewife! (provided my husband is a chunk of masculine heaven!

) So I really would like to be what I picked.

Gwaimer, I was using the word Rohirrim as a description of the men of Rohan. How about "the wife of one of the Rohirrim". Does that suit you better?

gimli7410 · 04-15-2003, 07:18 PM

i would obviously be a dwarf of the lonely mountain. I think an axe would be cool and im very greedy

But would want to still be a housewife if you were in ME? Wouldn't you want to be something very fantastical, considering the place you would be in?

***azalea*** · 04-16-2003, 01:59 PM

I'd be a hobbit, a Fallohide. Most definately.

BUT if I were a "man," I'd probably be the wife of a Beorning.

Elf Girl · 04-16-2003, 03:47 PM

If I were of the Atani, which I'm not, I would most likely be one of the Numenoreans.

Wayfarer · 04-16-2003, 03:57 PM

Poor afro elf.

I do believe you specifically said that you weren't asking what everybody would /like/ to be, but what they are in fact the most like.

As much as I hate to admit it, I would most likely be a Noldor. I'm smart and hungry for knowledge- sometimes too much for my own good. I'm also pretty nasty at times, although like Maedhros and Maglor I usually regret it. Sometimes. I'm very skilled with language and art. I'm sometimes contemplative and sometimes hot-tempered. Once I say I'm going to do something, I try to do it even if I may not want to.

Have I mentioned I hate Feanor?

Something fantastical? It has been a long time since I thought like that!

Hmmmmm, I'd really really like to be Goldberry...a fantastical wife. Not even human either! Very daring for me!

I still like the idea of Bree....Maybe I could be Butterbur's eldest daughter,( let's say he has no sons) so I would inherit the family business. I'd have my pick of several "elgible"

bachelors.

miss_poet · 04-16-2003, 05:07 PM

I would be an elf. I am as graceful and as beautiful as the spring flowers blooming from the ground. I dance with the trees and I run in the valley. The echoes call my name and sing to me. The moon shines down upon my face as if to greet me into the night. I am on with the springs in the forest. I am part of the pools of water in the rain. I capture the hearts of many and I am still know today.

***Jonathan*** · 04-16-2003, 06:07 PM

It would be cool to be a ranger of the Dúnedain, but I can't see me as one. However, I can see myself as a Gondorian. Unlike the rangers who live in the wilderness, the people of Gondor live in cities, which suits me quite well.
The Gondorians are helpful and they never lie. I'm proud to say that this goes for me as well. Ok, ok I'm not perfect but most of the time I'm helpful and I'm not in the habit of lying, not everyday

Orion · 04-16-2003, 06:20 PM

I think I´d be most like a human. I wouldn´t be a hobbit, because I don´t have careless enough attitude to life, and I´m not an elf, because lol, I´m just lacking the wisdom that most elves seem to have, and I´m not "greedy" enough to be a dwarf.. so that leaves the race of men. The strong sense of responsibility and the seriousness fit to me.

afro-elf · 04-16-2003, 08:18 PM

. Poor afro elf. I do believe you specifically said that you weren't asking what everybody would /like/ to be, but what they are in fact the most like

Yeah, even you listed Noldor when the question was limited to Hobbit or Human.

I do argree with your assesment of yourself.

Maybe Dunedain for you.

I would might be one from this culture who likes to travel( my intitial Ranger leaning) and learn. Lake town is close to The Elves and Faramir mentions that some Gondorians visit Elves still.

Though I like to travel, I am not wood worthy, so that kills my ranger leanings.

Aralyn · 04-16-2003, 10:59 PM

Okay I AM an elf. There is no possible way I could be anything else. I mean you can't change you race and I'm already an elf so . . .
I know you asked most like but I can't change who I am!

Aralyn · 04-16-2003, 11:01 PM

OKay if you really want to know. i'd be Rohhirim cause I'm always with the horses and I love the outdoors and riding.

LOL! I'm horrible, aren't I?

Using LOTR Hobbits and humans, I'd say I'm most like a Gondorian. A lover of lore, like faramir, but with denethor's bad attitude sometimes.

***azalea*** · 04-17-2003, 02:10 PM

I for one WAS answering AE's question -- I am most like to a Fallohide hobbit. If we're talking about taking our life as we live it now and plunking it in the third age, I guess I'd probably be a woman from the outlying area around Minas Tirith, if I were a "man." (But as far as the lifestyle I prefer, it would still be like a Beorning, but I'm more like Goldberry in demeanor).
