You know, that person or character who you see and actually daydream about living their life.

oohh well. Miss Marple <3

Is it a strange coincidence that you and I, the first two responses, both picked detectives?

Detectives lead interesting lives, so people are likely to want to be them (unless the detectives in question are seriously screwed up in some ways, which is why few people choose Holmes or Poirot). Detective literature/cinematograph often comes in series; the main protagonist can hardly die or get crippled midway, which is also an advantage. This is not to mention that is one of the most popular genres in the world.

I would never pick Marlowe (mostly because of the romance backstory), but I do so appreciate Chandler <3 His are one of the first crime novels I really liked (the very first was by Rex Stout).

I could've picked someone else, btw, but all the other characters/famous folks either have romance in their lives or end up completely screwed.

If we're doing detectives, I choose Nero Wolfe.

The lack of physical activity of any sort would drive me nuts.
But why would you want to be Wolfe? He often seems to be unhappy, and too many things cause him distress.

I don't think he's unhappy; I think he's just a grouch. And he has epicurean tastes, he has a fine lifestyle, and he's constantly getting involved in interesting stories. I think there are worse ways to be, particularly if you're going to be a detective.

Makes sense.

Phillip Marlowe. I'm listening to the audiobooks right now. I would be a phenomenal P.I.
And that whole era is just so seedy!glamerous.

I would like to be a hobbit and live in a hobbit hole and sometimes be dragged out on adventures.
Alternately I wouldn't mind being Elinor Crawley because she has George Blagden and she's gorgeous so that must be nice :P

Yes, being a hobbit must be great.

I would like to be a hobbit and live in a hobbit hole and sometimes be dragged out on adventures.

This. I WOULD say I'd like to be an elf just so I could be taller and prettier, but really, who the fuck wants to live that long? (Okay, some people would, but living for thousands of years sounds horrifying to me.) Dwarves are badass so maybe I could be a dwarf and carry an enormous axe, or be a Istari; I've always wanted magic! (Maybe I could live for thousands of years if I had magic. It would keep things interesting.)

yeah but I dunno, elves always seemed so... ascetic to me I guess. Hobbits are merry-makers. Being extremely short already I always kind of saw myself as being kinda hobbit-like anyway :P Maybe I'd start a whirlwind romance with an elf or something.

Yea, I do think being a Hobbit would probably be delightful, and I'm short already as well so it wouldn't be too much different. I'd just get a kickass hobbit hole.

Maybe I'd start a whirlwind romance with an elf or something.

I like the way you think.

I always think my two options would be a Hobbit in the Shire or an Elf in Valinor. Rivendell at a pinch.

Yep, this. Hobbits have the best lives in Middle Earth, and I would live in Bag End if I could!

I'd hate to be any celeb. Fictional character? I dunno - I always wondered what it would be like to play a minor role (or are just very much in the background of the big plot) in my favourite works. Like a random student of Hogwarts, or a civilian survivor (or multiplayer character) in Mass Effect's Reaper War, etc.

I guess I don't daydream much about having a major character's life. The closest would be Sunny Emmerich (Metal Gear) in a way ... probably because she's smart as fuck and I wanted to do space engineering once.

Being Saints Row's boss might be fun, too.

I WANNA BE SAILOR MOON

I know I'm already ten years older than her, but I'd still love to be a magical girl, but especially a Sailor Senshi. XD

Oh, that's a toss up. But Emma Peel comes to mind first.

Gorgeous, scientist, martial artist, SPY, incredibly wealthy, with an adorable companion, and an equally-adorable husband who looks just likeadorable companion, witty, charming, and an Avenger, before it meant being part of a Marvel team.

One of my friends back in the '80's even wrote a song, "I Wanna Grow Up and Be Emma Peel".

Except maybe that one with the scat theme.

Enzai it is.

I'm sorry, but you chose poorly.
