What would you be? And if you could step into the shoes (er, position) of one of the 9 walkers or others, as that occupation, would you?

Example: Helicopter Pilot, take Boromir's place
Rock Star, take Gimli's place

Re: If you could pick any profession in Middle Earth...

If I could pick any 'profession' in Middle earth, I'd be a wanderer.
Taking the position of one of the 9 walkers wouldn't be that good an idea, because I probably would be wandering off after a while!

I'd be a Doctor, Doctor Aragorn. Aragorn gives the appearance as a doctor, to me at least.

Be?

I would be an elf Gardener and Chef of Rivendell. I could take Legolas's place.

The company would eat VERY well on what I could find.
Though that doesn't make as interesting a tale....

I would probably work with Butterbur at The Prancing Pony. I would be the entertainer, I know many of dirty sea shantys that would surely keep the bar up all night.

Re: If you could pick any profession in Middle Earth...

As I'm a good rider and a feminist, I would like to be a member of the Roherrim cavalry, like Eowen.
But if I have to choose something like my real profession, I would probably give young hobbits lessons in the Elvish language.

A Dark Necromancer... weaving spells of enchantment, forging rings of power and gathering a great Dark Army to shackle Middle Earth and turn it into a barren waste land of ashen slag populated with my slaves!

Oh... well that was my Dark Side speaking... (the Force is strong in this one! <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> )

I would also like to be a Hobbit in the West Farthing, with a modest hole between Hobbiton and Bywater... OakUnder I would call my Hobbit hole. I would be a gardener for sure... a gardener with a love of good stone.

Profession

Plenty of gardeners like me in this group. Though I'd rather be an Elven Gardener. More resources for fountains, waterfalls, etc.

Any warriors willing to slay a cave troll for Arwen? Lothlorien guards? Horsemaster of Rohan? Grey Havens ship designer?

A travelling sales representative would make megabucks!

Alfalfa to Rohan, vegitable and flower seeds to Woody End. Rock polishers to the Lonely Mountain. Cross bows and insecticide to Mirkwood.

Where did Gandalf make his fireworks?

I like MU's and H-I's ideas, of course I might get a little bored and need to go out to strange new places every once in a while to find some more lore.

On second thought, being some sort of architect would be nice. I can imagine building vast mansions into mountains like the dwarves or a beautiful elven city or maybe just a tower for Gondor.

Thus even as Eru spoke to us shall beauty not before conceived be brought into Eä, and evil be good to have been.</p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000045>Durelen</A> at: 7/20/01 3:25:30 pm

I'd be the Inn-keeper of The Green Dragon or maybe a plain hobbit gardener as MU said. Anyway, living in the Shire would be just fine.
As for the 9 walkers: Sam looks like the best, but I wouldn't like to be him.

greetings,

I would be a servant in Lord Thranduil's palace. I do not know whose position that would take...no one's really...but: I would like to be an in-palace servant, which means getting water, cleaning, etc. I think I would be good at that. No questing for me, thank you, I'd be content to serve...or a servant for Galadriel. Either way...

If I could pick any profession....I guess the profession I would pick would be that of "Shirriff". The Shirriffs were "hobbit policeman" and although they didn't have a uniform, they wore a feather in their cap. The highlight of their day was probably chasing stray animals, gossiping with the other hobbits, and getting free Ale at the tavern (they didn't have donuts back then). I would be very luck to be a shirriff since there were only twelve total in the shire (three in each Farthing). I would have worn my "feather" proudly. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have a long for the sea, so I suppose I would on the coast doing something....

I also desire to serve people, so I would be a leader of some sort, of a strong hold or city. Nothing major. No warrior adventures for me, my fights would be much more subtle.

The postal job is interesting. Traveling is a dream of mine.

But if I were to choose for myself...

I'd be an ELven housewife, waiting for my husband to return after the war. Well, some sort of war. Homecomings always get me into tears, and I always feel good. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

My time would be after the War of the Ring, I would be a hobbit-seamstres and make beautiful clothes for Queen Arwen and her ladies.

And as for being someone from the fellowship- I would want to be Rose Cotton and marry Sam and have all those hobbitbabies.
