mein favorite charachter- AsonOFa

Aragaon, it has to be. look at him such a great king (although crwonless) . A dunedain, the heir to the thrown of minas tirith.

But look at his eyes( or imagine them) . Those eyes of a King. percieve the simplicity, the embedded pride, and the determination of a displaced king. Amazing!

His every move, is graceful, honest, and powerful.

A true King.

I believe he is the most sensational charachter in all of Tolkien's world.

Absolutely marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on how much of his work you've read. If you read the Silmarillion or History of Middle Earth, etc., you'll find some pretty amazing characters there too.

Some really super characters in the Silmarillion.

Men like:

Hurin
Tuor
Turin
Beren

Elves like:

Fingolfin
Fingon
Feanor
Maedhros
Beleg
Mablung

and my favorite king of all:

Finrod Felagund

There are some pretty intense bad guys too.

Morgoth
Sauron
Gothmog
Glaurung

Just to name a few.

My fave characters are Frodo, Pippin, and Shadowfax

Frodo is awesome.

Pippin is the youngest, but he still gets to be an awesome and very cool person

and come on, Shadowfax is just one awesome horse *gallops away on a horse with no tack*

LotR
- Faramir
- Eowyn
- Legolas

Silmarillion and other books
- Nienor
- Varda

only to name a few

The only one I saw was the one Earniel linked to, which was closed by CBG, who said people could look at members' profiles to see their favorite characters. I don't see the harm in allowing this to stay open if it is favorite characters from LotR, since I think looking at each profile would be laborious. I'm assuming Crickhollow agrees since she too let this remain open. If nothing else, this will allow us to have a place to show newbies when they open a thread like it that we then have to close.

I think that there are so many g&b characters because tolkien makes a very sharp distinction.

it seems like they're not. If they do, you just won't be able to post on it, so you'll know.

Ah, okay, thank you for that information.

So you don't prefer any character to another?

ok. its surprizing they haven't closed this one yet. I would surely brake the record for maximum shut-downs.

Any way, the thread is taking a turn. We have hopped on to good and bad charachters.

So who's the nastiest? and the best?
and again the favorite ( i have ta ask that, to keep in harmony the subject of the thread)

I have quite an unusual favourite character. Fatty Bolger! He is like the "fifth" hobbit! Just like Sam, Merry and Pippin, he knew about Frodo's ring and if he was more adventurous, he would probably have joined the hobbits on their journey.
