[glorfindel]

1. If you were fighting for Middle-earth, would you be fighting for its freedom or dominion? Why?
Dominion because I like the bad guys. I feel sorry for them when they're defeated.

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why?
I would like to live in the forest because I like nature and animals.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works)
Usually I like to use the bow, but I'm good at close combat with knives. I like sneak attacks and work with poisons too. I'm not too good with brute strength.

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/er your favorite?
Hmmm...That's difficult, but I'd have to say either Legolas or Gandalf. Legolas (he was my favorite even before the movies) because he's hot, he's an elf, and he's super-wicked-awesome. And Gandalf because he's wise and has a sense of humor.

5. What characteristic you like best about yourself? Why?
I'm an absolute freak. I like being different.

6. The least? And why?
I'm too nice for my own good. I just can't say no.

7. Which race of Middle-earth would you be if you could choose? Why?
Ummm...That's hard! An elf or a Nazgul(wraith). An elf because they're kind, stubborn, and powerful(Not because they're immortal. I might get bored if I live forever.). A Nazgul because I'm a loyal follower, I like evil, and despite my niceness I can be very sadistic(You should read my stories! XP).

8. Why do you like LotR?
Part of my obsession is because it was imprinted on my mind when I was young that Tolkien was a good author. I read the books(starting with the Hobbit) when I was 9/10 years old. I love the unique storyline that was created.

I was invited by Nessa Elendil on Gaia Online.

[darkwarrior]

1)Freedom. I'm a huge believer in people's rights to freedom.
2)I'd definitely live in Northern Eriador, probably in a cottage north of Imladris.
3)If combinations are allowed; a mix of a light, long sword, minor magics, and logic. If not, then a cool headed logic.
4)I'm caught between Aragorn and Gandalf. I like Aragorn's seriousness and strength with Gandalf's humour and intuition.
5)I like my ability to help my friends using my understanding of them.
6)I'm a prick with a serious arrogance problem sometimes, and a hardcore lack of ambition (the negative type of lack of ambition).
7)I don't know why I like LOTR. I read it, and I liked it. I suppose you could say I like everything on LOTR.
7)

[shadowfoxgirl08]

1. If you were fighting for Middle-earth, would you be fighting for its freedom or dominion? Why? Freedom, because no one should be forced to do something they don't wish to do.

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why? I don't know the exact name, but I would like to live in a forest somewhere is a river or waterfall.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works) If I were to you a weapon it would be a staff and magic I suppose.

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/er your favorite?
My favorite character would Arwen, for her drive to defies all she knows to be with the man she loves.

5. What characteristic you like best about yourself? Why?
The character about myself would be my will to make sure no harm comes to my friends. And if it does I there when I'm need to help them.

6. The least? And why?
My kindness at time, because it gets used and abused sometimes.

7. Which race of Middle-earth would you be if you could choose? Why?
I would have to say elf for there gentle nature, and strong will to fight if the reason prove good enough.

[Lúthien of Dorthonion]

1. If you were fighting for Middle-earth, would you be fighting for its freedom or dominion? Why?
Freedom. Can't answer why... I just know I would, even if it was in real life. Like a great philosopher once said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it."

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why?
I would live deep in the forest. Forests are warm in the winter, cool in the summer. You always have a shelter over your head. I love climbing trees. I love all the diversity of life found there and I love how it might be light under the trees, but it's never bright.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works)
If I had to choose a physical weapon I would choose a bow because I could shoot from afar without having someone in my face... and because it also allows you to hunt for food. Unfortunately bows only work if your target is far away so I would also need another weapon to fight... I would choose magic. Magic has the benefit of surprise and it also can work both close up and far away. But I would rather not fight at all and use diplomacy and wisdom to stop fighting before it began and have the bow for hunting game only... then use the bow either to scare my enemy away or at least slow them down enough to think about what they are doing, before I use magic to kill them to save my own life.

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/her your favorite? My favorite characters (and yes there are more than one since I can't decide on one) are Tom Bombadil, because he always talks in song or rhyme. Galadriel, because I like the fact that she rules such a wonderful place steeped in history, mystery, and magic. Arwen, because she is an awesome elf that has such love and respect for humans (not often found). Aragorn, because he can live with the elves or the humans as he pleases and he has a large amount of knowledge and experience to draw upon and because he has Dunedain heritage that allows him to live longer and gives him a sense of regal-ness. Gandalf, because he is known and respected almost everywhere he goes and because he is wise.

5. What characteristic you like best about yourself? Why?
I have a very bubbly personality and don't get angry quickly or often, I am an idealist without overlooking reality, and that I am open-minded and very accepting.

6. The least? And why?
don't know...

7. Which race of Middle-earth would you be if you could choose? Why?
Elves because they are beautiful, graceful, have long lives, and can talk to animals and sometimes to trees, and because they are strong, wise, courageous and cautious.

8. Why do you like LotR?
I admire the author in many ways... the fact that he created his own language, the reality that is in his books, the history and magic and detail that in in his books and how the characters are so lovable or hate-able as the case may be.

9. How did you find this site? If it was another member, please say who.

[themuffinlordess]

1. If you were fighting for Middle-earth, would you be fighting for its freedom or dominion? Why?
Freedom! I have a strong sense of what is just and what is not, and it always makes me cry to here about enslaved people who are not free to do as they please (within reason)

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why?
The Shire, it seems so beautiful and cheery, not beautiful in the way of the elven lands but with it's own little unique charm and peace.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works)
I would use a spear, they may be primitive but they make good long distance weapons and can help in a quick fix.

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/er your favorite?
It's a tie between Merry and Ewyon, I love Ewyon for her spunk and fighting spirit in a world of men. I love Merry's way of taking thing seriously yet still being funny and himself.


5. What characteristic you like best about yourself? Why?
I guess my ability to have sympathy for the everyone even if they have done wrong.

6. The least? And why?
My temper is a short fuse, if you get me angry I go ballistic.

7. Which race of Middle-earth would you be if you could choose? Why?
I don't know I really love them all they all have there own unique and wonderful qualities the elves have grace and valor, the hobbits have determination and endless hope the dwarves are funny and have courage that surpasses no one and the humans can turn the tides of war even if they are the easiest to sway.

8. Why do you like LotR?
I have always liked times of old better than todays society. In middle earth Honor and valor and bravery and kinship mean things in ways they don't here. As well as that the books are rich and a true treat among the worlds novels.

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why? Probably in either Gondor or Lothlorian. Gondor because it is such a nice shiney place and lot of people. But only after Denathor was gone..cause he's bleh. And lothlorian because its really calm and peaceful and seems nice.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works) I would use hand to hand combat as much as I could, but if I needed a weapon I would choose magic.

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/er your favorite? Im probably most like Aragorn. He wanders alot and wants to do the right thing, but sometimes runs from whats important. I think he is like me because I do things sorta like him and like to wander (mostly around the water when I can)

8. Why do you like LotR? Because its awesome and the story is cool. The war between good and evil is always cool. Like in Harry Potter "You have to choose between whats right and whats easy." they could've turned back cause it was hard, but they kept going, even if they die so that the world can profit.

In the forest so I can be in nature and learn to use my resources

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works)
I'd use wisdom or bow.....but if I had to choose one I'd choose wisdom first because I'm less likely to hurt myself with wisdom

Legolas.......he's gorgeous and has beautiful eyes and he's so dreamy

Nessa Elendil told me about this site

[silme]

1. If you were fighting for Middle-earth, would you be fighting for its freedom or dominion? Why?

Freedom, I think. I'm not normally a very confrontational person, so I'd really only fight if something important to me were being compromised.

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why?

Probably in a forest somewhere, like Lothlorien. I really like nature, and I'd like to live somewhere peaceful, away from a busy city. The Shire would be nice too.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works)

Hm... weapon-wise, probably a bow. Like I said before, I'm not very confrontational, so a distance weapon would be best for me. Taking that into consideration, I'd also be up for magic. It'd be cool to have magic because you can harm your enemies, but also help your friends. I'm pretty big on strategy too, I like to think things out completely before taking action.

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/er your favorite?

I've always loved Merry and Pippin, because my best friend and I pretty much embody them. I've also got a fondness for Frodo. He's pretty useless and whiny, but has a weird kind of strength about him, like he perseveres no matter what.

5. What characteristic you like best about yourself? Why?

I like that I'm a fairly logical person. I tend to really think about things, and make decisions based on my analysis of the things I think about.

6. The least? And why?

Ha, probably the same thing. I could definitely use a bit more spontaneity in my life.

7. Which race of Middle-earth would you be if you could choose? Why?

Hm. Probably an Elf. I've always liked them, they're very serene and intelligent. I consider them the most advanced race of Middle Earth.

8. Why do you like LotR?

Who doesn't like to bury them self in a fantasy world every now and then? I think the characters are really compelling, when you read about them, you instantly become attached to them.

9. How did you find this site? If it was another member, please say who.
Meoi pointed me this way.

[triormecw]

1. If you were fighting for Middle-earth, would you be fighting for its freedom or dominion? Why?
It's freedom. Because everyone deserves to be free, and evil, whilst it has a place in the world, should be the exception, not the rule.

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why?
Hmm... I would wander mostly, going wherever adventure takes me.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why?
A sword, most likely, but magic is always my favourite strong point.

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/er your favorite?
Legolas... cos... he's hawt

5. What characteristic you like best about yourself? Why?
My personality, because i'm helpful and kind

I think i'm ugly >_<

7. Which race of Middle-earth would you be if you could choose? Why?

[deschim]

1. If you were fighting for Middle-earth, would you be fighting for its freedom or dominion? Why?
Freedom. Ruling the world is so overrated.

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why?
Near either the ocean or by one of the seas. I love to be near water, so then I can go boating or fishing.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works)
Any type of blade works for me- knife, sword, broken arrowhead... and there's so many ways of fighting. The dance of the blades is very alluring to me, so there's my choice.

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/her your favorite?
Aragorn. I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's the way he utilizes his weapons, tied in with the power and authority he silently commands.

5. What characteristic you like best about yourself? Why?
I like the fact that I'm quite lean, with fast reflexes, perfect for swordfights- I can duck and weave faster than many of my rivals.

6. The least? And why?
I hate my ankles. They're insufferably weak, and sprain/twist very easily... not good in combat, or running around in circles yelling gibberish and confusing others.

7. Which race of Middle-earth would you be if you could choose? Why?
It'd be a hard choose between being a 'good' man (...Ruling worlds is overrated. Too much paperwork) , a 'bad' man (I tend to act like a pirate sometimes) or an elf (I am able to utilize all of their weapons, and the extra grace given by being an elf doesn't hurt).

8. Why do you like LotR?
I'm an adventure wonk. I really don't like books that stick to one little town and some little thing happens that the author thought would make a good story. I really like the large scale Tolkien wrote with, spanning across such a large area with so many dynamic characters.

[slash]

1. If you were fighting for Middle-earth, would you be fighting for its freedom or dominion? Why?
Freedom, everyone deserves to be able to experience life with no restrictions. Middle-earth is too beautiful and fun to be oppressed.

2. Where in Middle-earth would you most like to live? Why?
The Shire. Everyone is relaxed, happy, and the rolling green hills are so pretty.

3. What would be your choice weapon for a battle in Middle-earth? Why? (please note a "weapon" can be anything, sword, bow, strategy, wisdom, magic, if it's used in LotR, you name it, it works)
I would probably choose a sword. I just hope I could pick it up!

4. Who in LotR is your favorite character and what qualities make him/er your favorite?
Pippin Took. He's really funny, but he also can be clever at times.

5. What characteristic you like best about yourself? Why?
Outgoing. I love talking to people, entertaining and just being with people.

6. The least? And why?
Too hyper. Well, sometimes when you're being serious, but because you're usally hyper people think you're joking or something's wrong with you.

7. Which race of Middle-earth would you be if you could choose? Why?
A hobbit. They're so fun and short!

8. Why do you like LotR?
I really like how it shows us how true friendship is and takes on a wonderful storyline with fantastic creatures and places. Also it reminds me of Celtic folklore.
