I always kind of wondered exactly what Elros's motivation was. Did he always "feel human" like Earendil did, and choose humanity because it was in his nature to do so? Or did he sacrifice his immortality as an "exchange" for being able to found Numenor and act as a proper mortal human king to his people?

I also really strongly headcanon that a huge part of Elrond's character development into such a compassionate, wise, accepting person who was such an irreplaceable and loyal ally to humankind came from his experience of having his twin brother live as a human and eventually age and die.

Maybe he just wanted the Gift of Men -- because he thought death preferable to "fading", or because he believed Ilúvatar had a special fate in mind for Men.
