If you could have been born in Middle Earth...

[Meneltarmacil]

IF you could have been born in Middle Earth, what race would you be, where would you live, and who would you make friends with?

I'd either be an elf and live in Rivendell, or I'd be a human and live in Edoras.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Meneltarmacil, I'm not sure, but I'm sure there's a topic like this somewhere... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Yavanna228]

As far as I can find, there is indeed a topic that deals with What race would you be?, but I haven't as of yet found ones that deal with where you'd live and who your friends would be. Then again, I didn't search too hard or browse too far either. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Look around a bit, Meneltarmacil, and maybe you'll find some other threads like this, but if not, have fun on this one. Welcome to the Downs, and remember to use the search function before posting a new topic. If you have any problems or questions, PM me! I'd be happy to help. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I would be human, but elvish is good. But humans seem much more involved, especially in Gondor, with the whole ring/war issue, and I adore being right in the action, with all the gossip. Elves seem a bit away from all that, even though they are involved.

I would live in Minas Tirith with my husband, as I do now. And I would be friends with... just about everyone. But friends with Gandalf and Aragorn and all those in secret, as I'm sure my husband wouldn't be too pleased to find out I was associating with them.

[Meneltarmacil]

I'm an Animated Skeleton, Yavanna228, so I'm not exactly a newbie on this site.

[Ophelia]

I actually have written this for many times in other topics with different titles but the question's the same : what race would you represent and so on . But I guess I will never get tierd of writing it . And still my thoughts are the same : I do not know what race I would be but I would like to be a Hobbit for we have many habbits in common or a Man of Rohan for I can't live without horses or riding . But we may never know the answer to this question for there is no logical way to get to Middle-earth without admiting that that is a fantasy world of our own . But that is why we are LotR fans [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Yavanna Kementari]

*bows* Hullo all, I haven't been here in a while. Aulë and I have been on vacation an there is much that a Valier must do even while trying to relax! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

In answer to your question my dear, *smiles* I would be there for I am a Valier, who disguises herself as an Elf from time to time and I dwell in the ageless forests of Valinor [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] *bows* I have a few friends here, Gandalf the Grey is the closest. An Westerner by the Name of Eldarion and an Elf that goes by the name Mithalcariel. Of course I am a friend to all creatures great and small, both the olvar and the kelvar.
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It was wonderful to visit for a while. Though you aren't a newbie dear, it is the first time I have met you so welcome! *bows and smiles* Take care and have fun!

I would probably be an elf, and live in Imladris. I don't really know who I would be friends with. . .

[Luinalatawen]

I'd be a man and live in Rohan. Or maybe Gondor... I don't know... But I would try to be friends with everyone and try to get to know as many people from different races that I could. Diversity is cool. My closest friends would be men.

[Everdawn]

I would be an elf, born into the third age, and residing in Rivendell. Becuase it is lighter than Lothlorien, which is more unsettling than Rivendell, and Not in Mirkwood... too many creepy crawlies.. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Sapphire_Flame]

I would be a hobbit, living in the Shire (of course), and I would be friends with Merry and Pippin. (I would be the one that Gandalf didn't catch stealing that firework... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] )

Abedithon le! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Lathriel]

I would be a hobbit because I sometimes feel like them. I love food just as much as they do, I have brown curly hair and living in a hobbit hole seems cosy to me. I don't exactly know who my friends would be but I am sure they wouldn't be the Sackville-Baginsess.

[Kates Frodo Temp]

Hurrah for the Shire! Other places are too lofty for me. I'd make a mighty strange hobbit, though! Maybe I'm a Brandybuck, maybe.

Merry and his type would be my friends, because Merry is the only ordinary hobbit gentleman Tolkien wrote of. Think about it, and you'll realize it's true. How many people have Merry as there favorite character? I can't think of a one. Everyone likes him, of course. What's not to like? The poor fellow is ignored throughout the book, simply because he's a quiet, ordinary hobbit.

I would be surrounded by normal hobbits in the Shire, so Merry and his type would be my friends.

BTW, there are many topics currently dealing with some form of these same questions. Just thought you should know.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

i'd love to be an elf 'cause they're wise, fair, brave and they can fight. it would be wonderful to wander in the woods of lórien or in rivendell.
that's what i'd like to be.
but i think that a man of rohan would be a better fit to me. mountains, valleys, forests and horses. tough people with a good king.

[peonydeepdelver]

Think about it, and you'll realize it's true. How many people have Merry as there favorite character? I can't think of a one.

Actually, although this is off-topic, my favorite character is actually Merry! Then Pippin, Boromir, Nob, and so on... yeah, just had to point out that he's my fave...

ON-TOPIC: Oh yeah, I have this all planned out. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I'd be Peony Deepdelver from Buckland, and I'd be friends with Merry and Pippin (since Merry lives in Buckland, and where there's Merry there's Pippin). Yup. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Alatariel Telemnar]

I would probably be an elf, and live in Imladris. I don't really know who I would be friends with. . .

Yep, yep, same, same, HEY maybe we can be friends!!

[Lily]

Well for a race I would be half elf. And I would live everywhere I would stay in Rivendell for awhile then maybe go to Rohan and Gondor etc. But the place that I would always call home would be Lothlorien. And since I would be traveling everywhere I would be friends with as many people as I could! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have a weird felling I was born in middle earth I know some people might not believe this but it REALLY happened beyyond any doubt and this is what happened... I fell aslep and felt the wind on my face all of a sudden and then I woke up to see what it was and found my self ling on the grass it felt good and I was tired and I closed my eyes but then I herd the noise from down below it sounded like it was about to boil over! i figured out it was the ringwraiths and all of a sudden they started saying come back to middle earth and they wouldn't stop I got scared and I looked left and right right went to mordor because I could see the mountain and left went to rivindell because I could see the rivendell waterfall and I realised that I had EXTREMLY far eysite much farther than usual for I human and I ran awy towards rivindell and man could I run and the faster I ran the slower I got anfd the more powerful the ringwraiths got and then I triped and fell and I herd somone calling my name aradhelion and it kept on shaking me and saying my name aradhelion, aradhelion wake up it was only a bad dream.

Please help and tell me what I should do and what you think and what you think will happen to me!

[Olorin]

I would be an elf. I would befriend Elrond, Gandalf, Galadriel and Celeborn. I would want to live in either Rivendell or Lothlorien. If you couldn't tell, I'm a big fan of elves. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'd b an elf and live near the Long Lake, I don't know why, or maybe a man and live in Minas Tirith.

[Finwe]

I'd definitely be an Elf, but I'd live in Aman (near Formenos or Valinor), and I'd be friends with all the high and mighty, like Fingolfin, Finarfin, etc. etc.

[The_Hand]

I would of course be an Elf but at the same time I still feel that being human has it's benefits.. like leaving this world when they grow tired of it. Still I would be of The Avari, The Unwilling and I would live the first age and the ages before that in the far east and in around 1000 s.a. I would meet up with Sauron and become a captain in his army and in the end I would have my office at Minas Morgul and be in the first assault in the invasion of Gondor in the third age. My friends would of course be The Mouth and Sauron himself [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I would change my name from Rimpa to The Hand of Sauron. Hihi [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

hey there,
I think i would want to be an elf from rivendell living at the grey havens. Let me explain... Well, I like to think of Rivendell as more of the elven party spot in ME. Think about it. There's always singing, and feasting, dancing, etc. And the way I look at it,,if you want to be a party elf, you might as well also be at the beach(grey havens). SO, I think I would get some friends from Rivendell to head out with me to hang out at the beach where we can teach Cirdan how to dance. Because, frankly i don't think the 1st age elves know how to dance, a terrible disability.
Oh, and Arwen is deffinitely coming with me, she can just tell her daddy that she's going back to Lorien to hang out with aunt Galadriel again. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Esgallhugwen]

I am an elf, i live in the Dark Wood, not known to many even of the elves, but i love to walk through Lothlorien for Galadriel though now gone back to Valinor was the closest of my kin and I loved her dearly. But for now I do not wish to leave my kingdom of the Dark Wood for I have not yet grown tired of the silver trees and sparkling flowers of blue. I am friends with all who are of good heart and have a strong fire within them, Many a time I have taken counsel with Aragorn so that i may see Arwen. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Noldorin King]

Of course I want to be an Elven King, say, Fingolfin son of Finwe? the strongest of the children of Eru who gave Melkor seven great wounds.hahaha! Wasn't it mentioned that he resembled Orome the hunter(when he set out to challenge Morgoth)? so he had the might of the divine,hmmm. the house of Fingolfin was most feared by the Dark Lord, how i want to be a lord of Gondolin or Hithlum or Dor-Lomin [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I know it is weird, but I have always wanted to be a Nazgul. That is, I have no need to change the race, only give me a ring! (Scary looks and extraordinary voice guaranteed.)
My friends would be the eight colleagues, surely...

[The_Hand]

I was just wondering if anybody would perhaps want to be a Hobbit? I mean every one says elf but no body seems to like the quiet life in beautiful Shire or Bree?? Live in a nice big hole with a good long pipe and many meals a day?! If I wasn't a dark elf in the service of Sauron I would be a Rohirrim woman because they look a little vikingish and I'm from Norway and if I wasn't that THEN I would be a hobbit! I would live in Hobbiton and smoke my pipe while discussing important matters with the Gaffer! Then I would go on long walks and see the country! Anyone else that would just looove to do that????

[Daisy Brambleburr]

I'd love to be a hobbit. A happy, short life with pipes, mushrooms, hobbit holes and big feet. Sounds like heaven!

I'd live in Bywater (pretty much in the centre of everything) and (as I'm just 16, a very young hobbit-age) I'd live with my family by the Pool.

Elves don't appeal to me really. Their lives seem very long, and they have to watch everything die and pass away. I'm sure being beautiful would be an upside, but the life of a hobbit is truly for me.

[Aredhel Ar Feiniel]

Hobbits are fun, but I'd be an Elf...I'd live in Gondolin & marry Maeglin!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Niluial]

I would be an Elf and I would live in… Rivendell or Mirkwood. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I would most certianly be a Dwarf! I would live in Erebor and befriend all the other Dwarves. It is sad that I'm the only Dwarf. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

BTW, Merry and Gimli are my favorite characters.

[Tarien Ithil]

I'd like to be a woodland elf (mysterious), sort of like Goldberry, and I'd like to make friends with hobbits! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Neferchoirwen]

My mom told me that I was born on a starry night in June...

So I'd be an elf, born in Cuivinen (the spelling eludes me at the moment).

[Dragon Elf odin Ragnorock]

I would be an elf and live in lothlorian and be friends with all of Elronds clan plus himself and Galadriel and prince Legolas.

[ August 05, 2003: Message edited by: Dragon Elf odin Ragnorock ]

[Genevieve]

Hmmm. I think I would either want to be a Hobbit and live in the Shire, and be friends with Merry, Pippin, Sam and Frodo. OR I would want to be a human living in Rohan and I would be friends with Eowyn. I would want to be an elf except the living forever thing is really creepy to me. But I do think Rivendell sounds really neat.

toodles

[Maeglanthirion]

I'd be a human and a ranger and roam ME, visiting cities like Rivendell and Lothlorien and Edoras and Minias Tirith and so on. I think it would be cool to live on my own and be a terror with a sword and bow and so on. So far, I be the only ranger.

[peonydeepdelver]

Whoa, mrslegolastoyou, that run-on sentence practically made my eyes explode... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

[Arwen Eruantale]

I think it would be cool to live on my own and be a terror with a sword and bow and so on. So far, I be the only ranger.

No longer... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I would be a lost Ranger of the Dunedain. A great bow, sword and horseman. Forgotten and left to roam Middle Earth alone, I would stay wherever my valourous travels would lead: the Shire, Osgiliath, Rivendell, Minas Tirith, Rohan, the wilds...
I would take counsel with other rangers such as Aragorn, as well as Gandalf, and the rest of the Fellowship, perhaps even the elves from Imladris and Lorien. Any of which I might also travel with from time to time.
I would befriend many. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Frodo Lives!

[BlingBlingtheWarriorElf]

I'd be an elf from Mirkwood and my friends would be anyone except orcs, Gollum, and other evil creatures

[Ughósh the Abominable]

HEY I'd just like to give a shout out for the Children of Aule! Dwarf all the way baby!!!

Geez, too many freakin' elves. Sheesh. Bunch of woodland ninnies...

Anyway I'd probably live in the Iron Hills, wielding a hammer in peacetime and an axe in war. Elves are okay, but not friends. Men are useful trading partners. Hobbits are the entertainment. But fellow dwarves are my brothers, and I will gladly die beside them in a bitter press.
