Galahira_May · 01-02-2002, 09:19 PM

I am editing what I last posted after reading about Quickbeam in TTT.
I think that I am most like Quickbeam. Here is why.

He can generally make decisions faster than others - I can generally make decisions faster than others
He is a "gentle creature" - I am a gentle creature
He can snap into fighting action when necessary I can snap into fighting action when necessary
He is big (about 14') - I am big (6'7")

in my current state i shouldn't be trusted to answer questions coherently but . . . probably Merry or Frodo.
hobbits, hobbits, hobbits!!

Renille · 01-02-2002, 11:28 PM

Do you mean in personality? Then, I've got to say Arwen. Sacrificial, kind, and patient. (At least, that's what I think.

)

Banazir · 01-03-2002, 07:16 AM

For me, it will have to be Sam.

andustar · 01-03-2002, 12:00 PM

I've never been able to see myself as any of the LOTR characters, much to my disappointment

bropous · 01-03-2002, 12:57 PM

Now, THERE'S a poser! What a good question...I had never really thought about it. I'd love to say I'm like Elrond, or like Gandalf, or even like Bilbo. But to be honest, I'd have to admit being rather Saruman-ish on an occasion or two, or even like Denethor.

In my darker moments, I could even rival the black side of Sauron himself! Or maybe that slightly Grishnakian or Snaga-ish quality which creeps up form time to time...

Hopefully, however, the new year will find me more like Faramir...

With Entingish hopes...

Kamyel · 01-03-2002, 05:41 PM

If you mean which one do we physically resemble, for me it would probably be Arwen. However if your talking about personality I'm not really sure. Right now I'm just finishing up the first book, so there are still some characters I haven't met yet.

Wayfarer · 01-03-2002, 06:15 PM

My better half is a lot like frodo after he became burdened.
My worse half is like gollum after he became free.

bropous · 01-03-2002, 07:18 PM

Welcome to the fold of Tolkien fans, Kamyel. Good on you, hope you enjoy the entire trilogy as much as all of us have! Always good to see our ranks swelling...after the trilogy, try "The Silmarillion" too.

Kamyel · 01-03-2002, 11:58 PM

Hey, thanks bropous. You know I'm actually thinking of picking up a copy of "The Silmarillion" tomorrow to add to my reading list.

CardenIAntauraNauco · 01-04-2002, 12:06 AM

if you mean personality. Im most like Sauron... Im really evil. I'm trying to take over the world. I enjoy cruelty and I am exceedingly greedy. I find myself betraying others.... Actually I'm alot like pippin 1.clumsy 2.extroverted 3.Generally kind. etc...

Lightice · 01-04-2002, 09:26 AM

Humm...I think, that I mostly resemble Saruman before he fell under Shadow of Mordor. Wise, but proud.

TrewynEvenstar · 01-04-2002, 09:43 AM

I'm a hobbit...short, a bit on the round side,

curly brown hair...definately a hobbit. I think, personality wise I'm Pippin.

bropous · 01-04-2002, 12:51 PM

Actually, physically, I'm like a half-elf with short hair and glasses. LOL!

Gimly · 01-04-2002, 02:11 PM

For some unknown reason it's Merry, it's just that when I think about him I think he's like me.

ChildofEru · 01-04-2002, 05:10 PM

I have the mentality of Pippin.
The overall sexyness of Legolas. (pffffft)
And the power of Gandalf (again pfffffft)
Im mostly hobbit-like
