poster's LOTR alter egos

[afro-elf]

What would we poster's be in LOTR

I've limiting this question only to the LOTR period.

Now you do not have to pick a particular character you could just pick a type.

First what do you think other posters would be AND why.

Then what you think YOU would be and WHY.

I don't have a beed on many posters 'cos i'm relatively new

so please don't feel slighted if I left you out



Mike Martinez I see as an Elrond type. Wise in lore but only pops in occasionally to dispense his knowledge.

Anduin and Sister golden hair I see as wise Elven or Gondorian women. Knowledgeable and balanced.

tesseract12 (13) I see as a brandybuck or took hobbit. Young and full of youthful exuberance

inoldonil a young elven lore master or gondorian one. well versed and helpful

playgirl a beautiful young serving girl at the prancing pony

wayfarer a witty wordsmith ( but a belligerent ninny at times :)
a black numenorean ( I do not mean skin color:) because he is a purist and despenses his superior judgement to all inferiors ( non numenoreans ( non purist)

I've a question are the black numenoreans and the Corsairs of Umbar the same?
and Did they fight WITH Sauron in the War of the Ring?

for me i like to learn. i've 3 degrees already ( not saying i'm super smart i just like to learn) and i'm heading back to school when my teaching assignment is over for at least one more. If I specialize then maybe two.
I'm well traveled. I've hit very continent save anarctica. ( well i've only flown over africa)
I like war arts.
and I like THE arts.

i'm in pretty good shape and I come from a family with longevity genes

I'd probably say i'd be an Elf of rivendell


well i'm eager to hear what y'all have to say

[Tessar]

well actuly im so obsesd with elves that i can see a few ways im like them. I'm defenetly not a hobbit, I'm way to tall (im 5'7-8 maybe even 5'9. and the doc said that I'll prob end-up being 6' or so) any ways.
how i am like an elf

I like to stargaze.

Im thin

I'm good looking (thats just a personal openion:p but my mom thinks i have a cute nose)

Im silly (remember the hobbit?)

I uhuly dont fight but if someone trys to pick on me, I can deel with them (i think thats an elvish trate)

well thats how im like an elf.:D :rolleyes: :p ;)

[Tessar]

I see Darth Tater as a Dwarf.

somewhat gruf at times with a love for beautiful things (he draws yo uknow ;) )

and my sister as a.........(Miriel Stormrider) i have no idea. I'll get back with you on thatone

[afro-elf]

i think silly was applied to the elves of northern mirkwood

I can see you a rustic silvan elf

[Sister Golden Hair]

Thank you afroelf. I will take the Elven woman as opposed to the Gondorion woman.

May I ask how old you are? You seem to have done alot in life. I though you were a teenager.

I see you and Inoldonil as Elven loremasters.

I see Kirinki54 as an elf aswell. He reminds me of Legolas.

Darth tater, I see as an Ent.

I see Ben as Gandalf

Michael Martinez I see as an Aragorn type. He can't be an Elf. He is always too tired.:)

I will have to think on some others and come back.

[afro-elf]

I'm 32

yourself?

is your name from the song by america " sister golden hair suprise"
yet also a reference to galadriel?

[samwise of the shire]

I see Ben as being Bergil for some reason. Anduin as Rose or maybe Goldilocks, Darth Tater I seem to think is a dragon(no offense meant), Tessarect as being some mischevious Took and Leif Erikson(even though I have'nt seen him for forever)as being Treebeard or Eomer.

[Ñólendil]

I've a question are the black numenoreans and the Corsairs of Umbar the same?
and Did they fight WITH Sauron in the War of the Ring?

The Black Númenóreans (who were ofcourse white-skinned) lived among the Umbarians. They mingled with that people (Umbar was the most northerly of the Southron's realms), and by the War of the Ring it seems they were hard to find. The only one we actually meet in the LR narrative is the Mouth of Sauron.

I am actually a Hobbit at heart :)

[Renille]

Though I, too, am obsessed with elves, I would probably be a hobbit. Even though I don't know everything, I'm smart. I'm a very content person who doesn't need much to be happy, just ordinary comforts and a computer ;).

[Tessar]

gerrrrrrrrrrrr......... i dont want to be a hobbit :mad: hobbits are nice but i dant want to be one.

[afro-elf]

tesseract12

you don't HAVE to be a hobbit.

I don't know how many of them would remember the song by america

ya the beetles did some good music. but i really liked the wing's songs "I love you" was my favoret one (i think thats what its called) but i also liked "ebony and ivory"

how every my favoret band right now is A*TEENS "bouncing of the cealing (up side down)" and "half way round the world" are my favorets

[samwise of the shire]

If you get Readers Digest there's an interveiw with Paul in the November one. My seven year old sister loves The Beatles, she has a cd with 27 of their best hits and we listened to that before I took it down to my room in my cd player and put it in my desk, wicked I know(blast you admins need to get that evil face back in here).

Exactly. Elves from the First Age or even before... Sigh!!

Anyway, if anyone should be Legolas I figured you, Mr Afro-elf. Remember nobody knows his color of hair. :p
No, what I really mean is that vitality.

I always connected Sister with Galadriel, but I can see your logic there, Sis. How about Indis? (Ooops: now Finrod is grandson. This is not easy!)

[Ben]

People don't know who I am? I really have to start posting in the Tolkien forums again :).

I think I may be Treebeard, since this is Entmoot after all. But I do appreciate the suggestion of Gandalf :p. On the other hand, I may have to be a Hobbit of some sort due to my age and stature ;).

MM is definitely Elrond.

Tesseract - Pippin, for reasons stated in previous posts.

Inoldonil and ringbearer could be Elven loremasters of some sort.

Darth Tater - Barliman Butterbur ;). Well-intentioned, but tends to screw things up :p.

Fat middle - Sam Gamgee. He's always reliable and can be counted on to do his part.

More later... (and I will try to post more often in these forums, really...)

being an elf of course the clean well kept kind.


A little known fact: the orginal meaning of silvan is the same as the word rastafari. so when gallion and the guard got drunk maybe it was just a metaphor for something else?:)


I think in the hobbit thranduil was blonde. so IF legolas took after his dad then MAYBE he was.


Yeah, thanks I could go for Legolas

I identify a lot with Faramir. I'm sarcastic and brash on the computer but off it, oh well.

I read something about Faramir possessing some common quality with his brother but it moved him more to pity than to...something. I identify most with this sentence.

I am also very quiet and patient. I have never lost my temper and prefer to think more than I speak and think too before doing so.

sorry haven't seen enough of your post to think who you could be[

[Wayfarer]

Inolodil is gollum, of course! (that is the only schizophrenic character in LOTR)

Afro elf... I'd say you're a dark skinned ent-with a bush sprouting out of your head. The imagery is just too great.

I wouldn't equate myself with a black numenorean... More likely a Noldor. (Ick. I hate noldor, but the similarity is there) The black numenoreans were despots only interested in empire building. The noldor were smart, good with words, and incredibly haughty.

That sounds more like me, although I could also be thingol, and he's a character I like much better. Or Eol.

[afro-elf]

I love it :)


I chose black numenoreans they were haughty also. Weren't they the ones who did not want Numenorean blood tainted with that of middle men. I also felt being of the upper crust of gondorian society they would be rather well educated in the arts.
Giving them a condesending wit towards inferiors

I don't know why I never saw you as a fan of the noldor, maybe thats why i thought BN.

[Sister Golden Hair]

I´m sure you would be a great Amarie. For example she was smart enough to stay away from that little trip to Middle Earth... Actually, there is very little information about her. She and Finrod were in love in Valinor before the Exile. They would have been pretty young then, so we are given the impression that they were in love probably from childhood. Amarie was of the Vanyar, and of course, not permitted to join in the Exile, either because she was Vanyarin and few of them joined, or because she was still under parental control at that time, or both. Tolkien was very vague concerning her. In the HoMe though, she and Finrod are reunited in Valinor after his reembodyment. I believe that Michael Martinez said once that he believed that Gildor Inglorion may be the son of Finrod and Amarie, although I don't see how because Gildor tells Frodo that he is an Exile, which leads me to believe that he was part of the following of Finrod and Fingolfin when they crossed the ice. However, Gildor says he is of the house of Finarfin. Who knows?

[Kirinki54]

Well, he even says he is of the House of Finrod. And I know this has caused a lot of debate.

I know who you are now.

GLORFINDEL

why because you are the only elf lord to return

[Ñólendil]

*throws more popcorn at Sister for good measure*

Concerning the 'Gildor Inglorion of the House of Finrod' passage, Tolkien changed 'Finrod' to 'Finarfin' in the Second Edition (though this change is not incorporated in other later editions, I guess it should be).

Michael Martinez touched on this in an article recently, I think it was his Finweans article.

'Inglorion' means 'son of Inglor'. Ofcourse when the passage was originally written (as Sister points out), Inglor was him who we know as Finrod (and Finrod was him who we know as Finarfin [still with us?]).

But now we know that Gildor was the son of Inglor, some unknown Elf of the House of Finarfin. So who was Inglor? Finarfin had four children: Finrod, Angrod, Aegnor and Galadriel (not Orodreth, Tolkien decided against this, his name was changed to Arothir and he became Angrod's son). Angrod's descent seems to be well recorded, Aegnor had no children, and if Gildor was descended from Galadriel I'll eat my shoe. That may not sound like a professional argument, but you don't want to see me eat my shoe. Or I don't want to eat my shoe. Don't make me eat my shoe! *leers*

So that leaves Finrod. It is said in Of Beren and Lúthien that Finrod returned to the Living and 'walks with his father' in Aman, or something very close to that. MM's theory is thus logically that Finrod and Amárië had a child after Finrod's return, or more than one. They could have had a child named Inglor, or Inglor could be their grandson. Either Inglor or Gildor or both could have returned to Middle-earth in the Second Age, before the Downfall of Númenor, but one thing is certain: Finrod was Inglor's son.

'Who was Inglor?' you ask? That's what this whole dang post was about, pay more attention.

[afro-elf]

but one thing is certain: Finrod was Inglor's son.

do you mean inglor was finrod's son


maybe inglor was a child of finrod and amarie BEFORE the exile.

gildor says he is an exile.

if he came later then he would not be an exile

[Ñólendil]

LOL! There goes the certainty. No, actually I meant: Gildor is Inglor's son.

Gildor would be an Exile, in a loose sense: he would be one of the people of the Exiles. All the Noldor who left Aman and came to Middle-earth called themselves the Etyañgoldi, or 'Exiled Noldor'. Gildor could very well say 'we are exiles', even if he himself had last left the Blessed Realm by permission.

On the other hand Gildor does not seem to hold the kind of sanctity possessed by Glorfindel. I would venture to guess that Gildor was born in Middle-earth, and that it was his father who had left Aman. On the third hand (if you are an ape), we do not see as much of Gildor as we do of Glorfindel.

maybe inglor was a child of finrod and amarie BEFORE the exile.

That's part of the problem, we know for sure that before his death Finrod had no children. Galadriel asked him why this should be, and that's when he had that dark forboding about him not having any Kingdom that a son should inherit, and that he would go into darkness because of an Oath. After which, the narrator explains that she whom he had loved was Amárië of the Vanyar, who had not been permitted to leave Aman.

[afro-elf]

Maybe finrod fooled around and gildor was the result?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Originally posted by afro-elf

[afro-elf]

I another reason i think I would be an elf is that when I head back to school, it will be in recombinant gene technology (genetic engineering). I'll have 3 focuses. Only two are directly related to this thread though.

biogerontology: elves don't die from old age

immunology: elves don't get sick or catch diseases


maybe I can be an afro-elf after all.

In this case Tolkien did alter the words, for the Second Edition. The words there are 'Gildor Inglorion of the House of Finarfin'. Perhaps this was only in the English version, but the change appears to have been overlooked in even later editions.

Afro-elf, Humans are so noble, though the Human Race collectively is not.

OK, so Tolkien first forgot, then he remembered and altered, and then everyone forgot again....

It will be hard to form a theory from the above events! Who is to blame? :D

[samwise of the shire]

What about me?

I dont know much about the elves, I think I like them better if they are mysterious and not too much light is shed on thier ancient history, they're as beautifull as the stars but like stars if you shine a light on them they go out and lose some of their beauty but if you let them alone then they shine with a beauty that somehow sings out and makes you want to weep for their beauty. If I were to lose my eyesight the last thing I would want to look at would be the stars and Orion.

[Varda]

hmmm... i'd like to be an elf (wouldn't we all)... but would most likely be a strikingly tall hobbit... i don't really eat enough for that though... so maybe i could be a young elf who is not yet learned in all the lore... or a human who is an elf friend?

1st thanks for calling me a sindarin elf. I'm not as rustic as the silvan or the avari but not as noble the noldor. I think I can go for that.

I think MIRRILLE is the ent wife. She is not the hasty type.

I think you nailed BoP perfect. I'd add that she spent time in gondor learning. she's got some brains behind that fire.

Cirdan would be a wise -man type maybe gondorian. I see him as being urbane as opposed to northern Dunadain.


Menelvagor I apologize but I don't have a clear image of you


And Earniel as I said in the rivendell post. I don't see you as a girlie girl. The pic of you and frog is stuck in my head.

I see you as a Northern Dunedain woman. Not afraid to get your hands dirty and likes lore as well

I'm kind of getting "mischievous" tendencies... can't quite think of anything to line you up with, though. Hobbit is the closest... Someone similar to Bombadil? Merry making, and laughter?

[Arathorn]

Interesting. An enigma in ME.

HA! Eat your heart out Elfmaster XK. I am UNIQUE!:D

Now where has that drunken Elf gone to?:confused:

[Menelvagor]

And he's already got the yellow boot!

[Earniel]

He definately got ONE yellow boot, how unique of him.:p

I kind of like with who you all compare me. It sure lifts my self-esteem a bit, it took some beating earlier this day. Thanks! :D

I am still here, yellow boot. And im not always a drunken elf! :) (dont even think of commenting Seneska!)

Oh reeheally?? eh, hobbit? I AM UNIQUE!! THE LAUGH IS MINE!! No one has compared me to anyhthing as the only vibes i think i give off are crazy vibes :D:D

Awww poor Eärniel!If ppl are evil to you set the frogs on them!

[afro-elf]

How could I forget Elfmaster?! * hangs head in shame*


Well galion was a drunk elf.
Howwever I see her more as an archer from lake town or dale

[Elfmaster XK]

It's okay AE, don't hang your head in shame!

Thanks, i am an archer and love it. Shot 60 yards on wednesday! Was great 'coz i hit the target too!!! Methinks you're good at judging what ppl are like.:D :D

[Nariel Starfire]

well I don't know what you think I should be, but you're willing to have a shot at it. Looks like everyone wants to be an elf.
I don't know if anyone has said this yet (cuz I don't have time to look), but I see COmic Book Guy as a wizard. You know, smart and quiet most of the time, but always succeeds in making you either shut up or feel small and inferior.

that could be the signs of a tyrrant from Numenor :p


Yea most people wanna be elves so it's hard to convinces some of them otherwise
Tessar/ tessaract 12 is an example EVERYONE thought of him as a hobbit but he refused to accept it.

some people think that because they like Elven things it makes them elvish. But it aint necesarily so.

for me its seperating noldar and sindar from Gondorians that gets tricky

They are quite similar. You could say the children of numenor are mortal elves.

Its hard for me to judge you because our only real contact is the rpg.

So I can't seperate you from your character

[Elfmaster XK]

I still think of Comic book guy as 'talking pie' from his old sig...

Even tho most ppl wanna be elves, some of them just don't give off elf vibes. Perhaps they could be a cross between elf and whatever the other race is...

[galadriel88]

I think I'll let you guys decide what I am because I have no idea......:rolleyes:

[Renille]

Hmmm...let's think...hmmm....galadriel88 is...MERRY! No, seriously. You remind me alot of Merry. You seem to be happy-go-lucky most of the time, but you can also go into deep, sensible moments. Merry does, too!

What does everyone think I am??? (Or should I not have asked? Please don't say a balrog. :p )

Sorry, Faramir, but you've only been here for a week. Not really long enough for people to know you better let alone to decide who you might be.;)

ummm, well my sister would be like, i geuss, the Dark Lord, exsept for insted of wonting to rool Middle Earth she wonts to rule over the phone line, the house, and very very sadly, me!!!

[Rána Eressëa]

Uhh . . . I still see myself as an Elfit. Anyone care to classify me into a more normal categorey? :D

[Khamûl]

Ummm... what exactly is an Elfit? An elven half-wit?:D

[The Ringbearer]

What about me?

Samwise of the shire: She acts like Sam after he has seen the elves and become a bit elvish himself. :)

BoP: Eowen with an attitude! A good attitude. ;)

I love the outdoors, reading, writing, and everyone says I'm a deep thinker( I DO like to think alot). I might be a Tookish hobbit. One of the more lively elves? Dad says I'm just like Frodo.....:confused:

[BeardofPants]

Well, I don't have a deathwish... yet. :D PJ might drive me to it though! ;)

I kinda think that you're a bit like frodo, but thats cos he's in your avatar. Personalitywise, I'd say you were a female version of Aragorn based on the attributes that you've listed, however my impression from your posts is... Bilbo. There. I bet that made no sense. :D

[Play Girl]

play girl a beautiful young serving girl at the prancing pony

Oh my god! How true!

Wow how many months have passed for you to reply:)

Dare I ask about me?:p

[Play Girl]

Sorry but I have been spending the past six months dead for tax purposes.

[Carafin]

I'm going to ask about me, though some of you don't know me very well

as for you :
BoP what can I say that hasn't been said:)

AE I sorta think of you as Elrond-ish

Other than that I really don't know most of you that well (not the same forums)although I read some of your posts 'n' stuff

btw I am absolutley addicted to reading (and o'course Entmoot!)

Thanks I think everyone has pegged me for an elf.

RE you DEFINATELY are not some girly girl like arwen ( the real one not that bogus movie hag)

Didn't i peg you ages ago on here? i'll look after i post this


I just don't see you as a hobbit. 1/2 hobbit 1/4 anything hobbish at all.

all other races would be open though.

the other poster who i have not responded to just don't post a lot on my threads so I can't add anything

[Renille]

Is there such a thing as a Numenorean-elf cross? If so, Afro-elf would be it.

Katt- Sauron's facial features running around seperately.
:p No. I think you're a hobbit. A Tookish hobbit.

samwiselovr- Rosie Cotton!
Me-???

[Starr Polish]

Renille, definately a playful 'Hobbit' era elf.

Cool, I'm not haughty..;) Actually, cool, Mirkwood.

I have trouble giving people 'personalities' from books and such...I can't think of any more at the moment.

[Minyacamiel]

can someone please tell me who I would be??? I"m itching to find out.... (jeapordy theme starts)

[Starr Polish]

I haven't read enough of your posts to be able to tell....be patient, you! ;)

[Katt_knome_hobbit]

What does yall think of me? Iziz not that 'teresting thou.

[Menelvagor]

Katt, I can't separate you from your RPG character, but that's ok, she's a pretty cool little hobbit lass! :)

Minyacamiel, I haven't read enough of your posts, sorry. :(

[Katt_knome_hobbit]

Why thank you Menelvagor! :D

[Willow Oran]

Sooo... Katt thinks I'm Elrond or Gandalf. I'd agree to Elrond. I'm too clean to be gandalf though.

Katt: Something evil, or at least diabolically insane.

Mirazhi: An insane random istari

Tano: Female pippin

Eruviel: Legolas, as if she could be anything else.

Renille: a really young version of Aragorn

Elf Girl: Hobbit era Gandalf

Earniel:Teleri

That's all I can think of right now.

Si, Lots of TLA influence. I can't seem to imagine people very well in any other parts.

[Rána Eressëa]

Originally posted by afro-elf

I don't consider all Rivendell elves to be haughty. I picked Rivendell because she has a sort of grace that reminds me of Rivendell, and she doesn't strike me as Mirkwoodish enough with her personality. That's just me, though.

[Arathorn]

I see Starr is more an emissarial elf wandering between realms. A herald of sorts.

[Rána Eressëa]

I think for myself (a self-made decision!) I'd probably be a hobbit of the Shire. Living the simple life with a curious spirit. I'd be fascinated with Bilbo and would probably tag along with him constantly. I'd even ask about his adventures. :)

I might develop a crush on Frodo, but he'd be too old for me. :D Okay, leave that out.

[BeardofPants]

Wow...thanks guys! I feel all special now :)

If don't think I could necessarily place myself in Middle Earth. I would have to be an 'elfit' (I cannot remember who coined that term) I suppose, because I show a lot of hobbity characteristics, but I personally think I can be downright elvish at times (not in terms of wisdom, necessarily, just...something).

I think I'd be a wanderer though. I already have bad wanderlust.

[Sween]

which character am i like because i really cannot think of any

[Rána Eressëa]

FrodoFriend started the Elfit term. I just called my kind Elfin at first, but took on the name she gave them since it seemed to make more sense.

[BeardofPants]

Well actually, that was me. :)

[Rána Eressëa]

Really? You made it up? Eh. The first person I remember saying it then, was FF.

[Earniel]

Go here (http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3184&perpage=20&highlight=race&pagenumber=5) , Oh evil spawn of BoP and Anduril with the sleepy memory. ;) It's halfway on the page.

[Rána Eressëa]

Ah, but you said Elvit - and FF said Elfit. :D

[Earniel]

Nitpicky, nitpicky! :D I so KNEW you were going to say that! Allright then, FF gets the glory for the invention of the Elfit-term. :)

[Rána Eressëa]

Hehe, sorry. :)

BTW - I see Elvit and realize it looks very close to Elvis. Isn't that cool?

[Nibs]

I've always thought I'd like best to be a Gondorian soldier or similar man-at-arms...

[Shadowfax]

Hmmm, what or who would I be. **please nobody say horse**:p

[The Ringbearer]

I like the "elfit" idea! I've invented about 15 different characters for imagining purposes, and one of my favorites is Willow Baggins, Frodo's non-existant cousin. :) I think she would be classified as an elfit; hence, so would I! Yay!

*Does little dance around the room* I'ma eeelvit! I'ma eeelvit!

*Suddenly realizes everyone is looking at her* Sorry..... :o


Shadowfax, From the impression I get from your posts, I think you would be a charming young hobbit lass. :)

[Sauron's Nagging Wife]

I would be Sauron's nagging Maia wife of many thousands of years. :D

"This tower is a mess. Tell the slaves to paint it."

"The Nazgul will just have to meet you outside until they learn to wipe their feet."

"Come on, I need SOME sunlight to see what I'm doing."

"Will you stop playing with those palantiri and eat your dinner?"

"I don't care who you have to torture, that's my brand new carving knife!"

"Why do you have to wear that tattered old cloak every day when you have a whole closet full of perfectly good new cloaks?"

"You've got to stop leaving your armor on the bathroom floor."

[The Ringbearer]

Does Sauron listen to you?

" .....until they learn to wipe their feet.....!" *breaks out in giggles again* :D LoL !

[Sauron's Nagging Wife]

He usually listens. After all, I have the most powerful ring in the world ==> the Wedding Ring. ;)

Sween i thought of you latly as a hobbit father. Maybe old Gaffer. But so much as the looks. (I know that must sound so wrong):D

[Nurvingiel]

I'm an Elf of Mirkwood.

;)

[Erawyn]

i would want to be an elf from mirkwood to, or a shield maiden from rohan:P but i dunno?

[Sicirus]

would would want to be a female elven warrior.:D It would be cool to be able to climb trees as they do and also string bows.

[Katt_knome_hobbit]

Sicirus is an ork. One of the Uruk-Hi. I... I am Sauron. :D

If we can choose for ourselves also, I would either be an Elf of Mirkwood (female warrior elf, of course! ), or a female Ranger, or a hobbit lassie. :D

[Katt_knome_hobbit]

Know what? THis thread should be closed. It hasn't been posted on since september

[Ragnarok]

I'd would most likely be a Rider of Rohan because I like horses and would fit the description of men alot better than elves.

[Celeviel]

physically i would most probably be a rivendell elf, mentally one of the elves of lothlorien...

i'm 5'8 and small boned with very black hair

people tell me everything from "beautiful" to "gorgeous" but that is their opinion

i'm observant, at times haughty, have extreme difficulty adjusting to new situations and changes...

i'm a big stargazer (my bedroom window happens to be right under the sunroom roof and faces a lot of trees, so on clear nights, i would climb out on the roof just to gaze at stars)

i'm also obsessed with decorations that are nature oriented and beautiful...

if i really want to go far with this, well, i'm chinese, so i come from a race with a rather long history just like the elves, hehe...

[Bombadillo]

I think I would most likely equal a resident of Bree. I always like to hear news, it's nice and suburban there, more lazy than in the Shire or pretty much anywhere else. (the Shire has yardwork. Others have governmental conflicts and such). And in person, I for some reason give the impression of being permenantly stoned, so I'd fit in well as a hobbit in the Prancing Pony.

[Shadowfax]

[hectorberlioz]

Despite that he is classical music composer historically, I imagine hectorberlioz(which is me. I am so conceited) here at entmoot he sounds like he is a very high-class elf, not the romantic type of elf, a real warrior/ leader(lol). No, just kidding, i dont know what he is at entmoot.
