Yeah, I never like that either. It always feels strange when somebody calles himself "Frodo" when there are ten other Frodos around and we all know Frodo's story. But another hobbit or ranger and wizard etc. will all be unique and have their own new adventures without feeling like a cheap copy.

There are a lot of fan made videos for the Tolken world and Harry Potter and other adventures, some were done really well and I encourage everybody to search Youtube and take a look a them.

I get this totally, I guess this makes it almost OK to do an impression of someone at a planned event where you know there won't be any others, or if the character choice is so obscure that there just won't be any others?

Again, speaking for myself of course but I'm far too broken down to portray an ethereal ageless being. I suspect that's part of the problem.

Yeah, liked elves more when I was younger. But being built like a large dwarf or a small troll, even at my trimmest, means that the whole effortless ethereal bit was never meant to be.

I look like what would happen if Vin Diesel let himself go and got rolled down a rocky hill into some brambles.
I'm still sticking with an elven persona and ain't nobody stopping me!
