Title: If you were...
Post by: Liberator on December 07, 2004, 12:44:04 am
...from Middle Earth, what would you be?  An Elf?  A Man?  A Dwarf?

I'd be a Hobbit.  And a Took at that.

Well you can shove your pansy elf where the sun don't shine.
I'd like to think I'd be a man, of some royal lineage, but more likely be as you suggested, a Hobbit, and most probably a Took as well.

How about where you would live on Middle Earth?

Personally I'd be with the Rohirrim, maybe I could be a Hobbit - Man crossbread. :p

and in all "seriousness" you'd either be tormented for being a man with very hairy feet, or being a hobbit with bald feet ;)

I would be a Valar, duh.
either that, or one of the Istari (there were two others, in additon to Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast)
Title: If you were...
Post by: pyro-manic on December 07, 2004, 08:09:36 am
Ah, but the Valar aren't in Middle Earth are they? They all went off to...damn, I know this....the other continent past Numenor (or where Numenor was, rather.

The world is called Middle Earth

ERGO, valinor  (the undying lands, home of the gods on Earth) IS part of middle Earth :rolleyes:

I second that motion for Valar, (Istari are too weak barely demi-gods).. Me thinks I'd be either MELKOR  (Sauron's Boss), or Thulkas?(SP?) that strong fighter god that whooped ass!

Hhehe, then you'd have hobbits raiding your lair and stealing pieces of your treaure horde. :p

That aside, being a dragon would still kick ass...:nod:

Not when your up against an army of Dwarves being supported by Elven and Human archers... :p

Post by: aldo_14 on December 07, 2004, 09:24:12 am
I think Dragons only have treasure hordes to attrack various hobbits and adventurers, for either company or food.

I mean, how many dragon shops do you see nowadays?  And it's not like heating is a problem.

In fact, maybe if people didn't nick there treasure, dragons wouldn't need to be hunted - they could just go down the kebab shop for an extra spicy donner rather than have to go and chew on a local maiden.

Post by: Grug on December 07, 2004, 09:40:46 am
lol. Those are fake dragons though, we're talking about the real ones duh.

Dragons are pure evil. They kill the people whom the treasure belongs to first, then it becomes theirs. :p

Dragon seems like a nice choice, as does a Ranger, or perhaps Rohirrim.

The world is called Arda. "Middle Earth" and "Aman" (where the land of Valinor is found) are just continents.

That apart, I'd be an Ent.

If we're going to be anoraks about it, it's "Middle-earth". Note the capitalisations.

Regarding Valinor, it and Tol Eressa (the Lonely Isle) were removed "from the circles of the world" after the downfall of Numenor.  Picture them as on the tangent line of a circle, heading off into space.  When any normal person tried to sail west, they'd simply find that Middle-Earth was round and would circle the world.  However, the Elven ships would be able to take "the straight path."  The end result is that, while Valinor and Eressa are technically of this world, they're not really a part of the normal world.  At any rate, they're a part of Tolkien's world, so I'm saying they're valid. :)

Given the choice, I would like to have been Earendil.  In general, I would like to be one of the Vanyar, the highest kindred of Elves who remained in Valinor.  For partying, though, no one beats the Hobbits. :D

P.S.  Yes, I know, I'm too obsessed for my own good. :p

Roughly 1.60m tall, slim like an Elf with the beard of a Dwarf. Holding an axe that also fuctions as a bow. ;)

And the poor guy would be even more of a mess phsycologically ;)

Still, having an Axe with an in-handle bow would be kind of cool ;)

One word: Sert.

(Explanation: Sert, term used for overpowerful or overcontrived character, derived from self-insert, derived in turn from the bad habit of fanfiction writers of writing uberpowerful, flawless characters based in a rough way upon themselves, who the writer regards as their alter ego.)

Post by: Flipside on December 08, 2004, 06:40:12 pm
Sort of like Eddings' heroes in the Belgariad and Malloreon, most of them were almost superhuman in ability and were fighting enemies who were consistently moronic and weak.
