Aragorn here! Which is appropriate, I suppose, because my G/F swears I bear a striking resemblence to that Viggo Whatshisname. He reminds me of a spun-out meth addict that used to be my room-mate…so I am not sure if I feel complimented or not. If I got to pick my own I would take Golem…I love his voice.😃 ---

I am Elrond! Yes! I always wanted to live in Rivendell. Gotta let my husband take the test when he gets home. I’m sure he will want to be Sam. ---

**Bilbo Baggins** If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Bilbo, Hobbit, uncle of Frodo and finder of the One Ring. In the movie, I am played by Ian Holm. ---

For there is indeed an ass-kicking girl in LOTR. And that would be me. ::pointing at previous post:: I rejoice in my kickassitude. Apparently, this means I’m marrying **Triskadecamus** … ---

Right backatcha there, Gazelle! Hey, you guys! Yeah, you know who I mean. I know it’s more likely than not that people playing this game have read the books, but let’s assume some might not have and not give away anythin’ about the characters without using a spoiler taggy… please? 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Spooky \* > **I am Elrond! Yes!** Minor hijack. Is it just me, or did anyone else say to themselves, “_Mister Anderson_” when Elrond showed up on the screen? Think Matrix. ---

Well, I started off as **Denethor** (which wasn’t too bad), but with a little soul-searching, and deciding I really didn’t like fighting with swords all that much, really, I managed to turn myself into **Gandalf the Grey**. (Yeesh! If I didn’t have a beard, I’d be either **Celeborn** , the most boring character in the Third Age, or **Merry** , the most annoying ditto. Methinks I’m not shaving any time soon.)
