Yes! I am the Typo Lord!
That should be KING ELESSAR I have corrected it above.

OK. I was clueless...
Well, I strongly prefer Strider. After his coronation LotR is over! Seriously, I much prefer the mysterious, tough and cunning Strider. But I find his development into king also very interesting, during the struggle for the Ring and againt Sauron.

Oddly enough the title looks fine once the post is opened (and it appears as though you or someone else editing typed it out okay), but it still says Esellar on the LotR Books Forum page.

What I clumsily tried to tell you is that I can't figure out how to do that.

Well, some people like the admins and a few others have some extra titles by their rank.
How would I add Lord of the Typos to mine?

(25 more posts, I think!)
Anyway, I like Strider best. He seems much more down-to-earth...more real. When he's Strider, he doesn't need a crown or throne to have royalty. He shows it through his actions. When he's Elessar, he seems too lordly to be good old Strider anymore.

Afro-elf, you can't. As you may see in the FAQ, you'd only be able to add your own custom title if it's enabled by the administration, but the way we have it only the administrators can do this. You can request to have a custom title, but I don't consider myself a good decision maker. Ask Darth or bmilder to make you out to be the Lord of Typos.

Strider. Definately. He's more mysterious, and pained, and stuff... you know, all that stuff involving angst.

I like the king because Strider is greasy. (at least in my mind...)

Got to be strider - once Arwen had him married with kids etc he would get stuck in that midlife routine thing - he would definately
lose his edge.

Strider is definately the more interesting character. Once he becomes King, he's a little too "complete". Plus he was into wandering and herb-lore, etc. A lot more fun to hang around.

I always believe for some reason in my imagination that Elessar would 'go fishing' or such and would revert back to Strider and tour his kingdom incognito. Just think... a palace filled with girls (at least until his son was born)... I would have to get away.

Like everyone else, definitely Strider, because he's a much more interesting character before you know everything about him. My favourite part of fotr is in Bree, when they first introduce Strider.
