If I were to pose this same question except regarding Winnie the Pooh characters, would I be right in my guess that you'd pick Eyore?

Just ribbin' ya--adding up your nick, custom title, choice, and explanation. I hope I haven't offended you with this ... .

I know the feeling well, but I also believe that oftentimes our "success" is simply not evident to us. Never understimate your impact on the world around you. We all have our place. Boromir died a noble death, defending his m8s with his life, and was a great leader among his people and admired, undestood and cherished by his brother. He was the last bastion of strength for his father. That he was tempted by the ring was a weakness, but I don't think it made him a failure. Of all the fellowship, his sacrifice was arguably the greatest. He gave his life. There is great honor in such an act, despite past mistakes.

Sorry ... I'll get off my soapbox now.

Pippin, just can't seem to focus when I need to, always take things too lightly

Legolas. Feared by his enemies and loved by his friends. Agile and nimble and cool moves

I knew you were an elf...

TogakureOjonin don't worry - you've not caused offense, though - I think I'm more of a Tigger - he's barmy you see.

If someone would kindly advise me as to which i am? following a general description of myself.

Born into a country foreign to my family. Tall and strong. I enjoy solitude as much as independence. Fairly ambitious. Very level-headed. Fairly mellow. Fairly idealist.

I would say Aragorn. He was of the Dunedain, but raised by the elves of Rivendell. He was tall and strong. As a ranger much time was spent in solitude. Though he avoided pursuing the kingship for a long time, he served many lords and kings secretly as a ranger, and was highly regarded among the elves. He was portrayed to be very level-headed, never being tempted by the Ring. He was quite mellow, even when challenged by Boromir, and Eomer. He was quite the idealist in denying to himself what most other men would have coveted, the kingship.
