Which race of middle-earth would you be and why? (Read First Post)

Ents. They take things slow at their own pace and nobody would dare mess with them...

**Cyclops** · January 22, 2012, 10:17 PM

Yeah but no, umm, pussy-willow...

I choose Valar. I fancy being Tulkas or Orome, travelling widely, and kicking arses.

Either a dwarf, married to en hot elven chick or a hobbit married to a hot elven chick

An Elf, so I could live with my love forever

I totally agree with you

Human, Hobbit, or of the Tim Bombadil verity. I think immortality would get old after a while. Once you see it all what's their to look forward too?
In the case of Tom, well my attention span would be so bad nothing would get old.

Elf probably. Hobbit comes in at a close second with Numenorean at a third.

**Mikail Mengsk** · January 23, 2012, 02:05 AM

Human, no doubt.

**Chris Perry** · January 23, 2012, 02:09 AM

Men, of course. Although preferably a Dunedain, with a nice long life but the prospect of an end.
If I was an elf I think the horrors of war and loss would catch up with me.

me too, i forgot to point this out

**cezarip** · January 23, 2012, 02:56 AM

Silvan elf for sure. Long life, one could go easy and still have time for hobbies like TATW.

**Trailhog250** · January 23, 2012, 03:03 AM

A hobbit sounds like a nice simple life as long as other people protect the shire

The prospect of an elf is fascinating and living forever sounds like a no-brainer, but I think after a few hundred or a few thousand years of all sorts of knowledge is going to be kind of overwhelming and will ultimately change you. Your mindset after the first few years will not be the same after a few thousand. Besides this poll doesn't really do the whole thing justice, if people could choose most would likely choose elf. But if they were stuck with a particular race then that's that. (I mean... Who wants to be a goblin or some desert farmer in Khand?)

**Tar-Aldarion** · January 23, 2012, 03:29 AM

Maiar, immortal, powerful and not the one responsible when Arda is going to smithereens. Besides I can take any form I want.

**Arandir Tur-Anion de Bodemloze** · January 23, 2012, 03:46 AM

An elf to become a very wise.

**Artorius798** · January 23, 2012, 03:48 AM

Numenorian! But I think the true question is, what class would you want to be, because I bet nobody wants to be an orc slave or a poor human farmer...

**Morkern** · January 23, 2012, 03:54 AM

noldorian elf! and I'd run around singing FOREVER YOUUUUUUNGGGG

**Headhunter128** · January 23, 2012, 04:14 AM

I would choose Human and live maybe in Minas Tirith. Life may be short, but it is the race of Men and not elves that will pass on to the next world when the current ones end. It is as such that we are blessed by Illuvitar.

Also being an elf must get depressing after a few thousand years as already pointet out. As for dwarves, there is the hairy women part, which I don't find appealing xD

Also, is choosing Valar or Mair allowed? The topic reads "Which race of middle-earth would you be and why?"
