Mormegil: Ignoring the picture page (and the fact that you look like a friend of mine probably will in about 10 years), you are, and always will be, Roger Moore as James Bond.

Eomer: I can't understand it, but you aren't Karl Urban in a kilt any more. And... Biff is gone! Perhaps only on holiday, but he's not right beside you. You are now built very much like my brother (6'0" even, rail thin), with broad shoulders. Messy/curly black hair, clean shaven, except for when you get it into your head that you want to look like a pirate rogue, in which case it takes you rather more than a day to grow out your swashbuckling facial scruff. You wear the color red a lot, and detest clip-on ties.

I detest shirts and ties. And I am a pirate so that's probably where you got that image from. Oh, and Biff was never really here. It's me who's typing this; honest.

By the way Fea, you are still a small explosive bundle of noise and laughter who runs madly through the scarecrow fields. ;)

Firefoot is about 21, Turkish, stylish black hair, pretty.....or is that someone else I know... :D

Also Morm, I am getting really used to your pic. The initial shock has totally worn off.

I never really imagined Morm before, but when I saw his pic, it was so right. This is an isolated phenomena, however.

Lessee, anyone else...

Gurthang is a youngish man, pale with dark hair, very quiet and he sits in the dark with only the light of his computer monitor to see by. Once he sets himself to do something, that thing gets done. He also grins to himself a lot, without mirth.

Formendacil is a very happy, active guy. He is very tall, thin, freckled and red-haired, which is cut crew-style, and he wears purple-and-green striped turtlenecks.

Hmm, Folwren is a very petite young lady, with fine brown hair down to her shoulder blades. She has greygreen eyes and a sharp featured face.

Saurreg is a young man with a hidden fountain of mirth that tumbles down the mountainside, carrying with it trees, sheep, and small rocks. No idea where that came from, but seriously. I can see him as very smart, confident, and quiet.

Celuien is a happy-go-lucky gal, with short blonde hair and a perpetual smile. She loves the color purple, and wishes to dye her hair the same color.


But only in my mind.

Hmm, strange - I imagined Gurthang more like this:

Short & heavy (roughly 5'6, 250 lbs?), with dark shades that he wears nearly all of the time with his red leather jacket. Drives a Chevy Nova with Lambourgini doors and illegal window tinting, blasting the music so loudly that every bolt in his car quivers.

A star basketball & tennis player, but he also likes to play video games - and he hates Mountain Dew. Probably a sophmore in high school, plans on becoming the first person to hike to the top of Pike's Peak with his girlfriend on his back. Loves 'splatter' films (as good ol' PJ calls them), and usually has a crowd of about 20 people around him.

I could of course be entirely wrong, but I find this very unlikely...

I have a very vivid image of tgwbs that dates back to 2003 and the days of the You know you're obsessed with LotR when... threads. I picture him as very short with brown hair and big glasses, about 13 years old. (the age he was back then) Oddly enough, I still picture him as about 13, even though that was 2 years ago. He talks very fast and is constantly carrying a very large book around with him and excitedly reading aloud from it. He wears a lot of dark colors and his clothes are always a bit too big on him.

Hehehe...

Wrong on all counts!

Okay, that's not quite right... I b]am[/b] a guy...

But not particularly more happy than others, certainly not active, not particularly tall, not thin, barely freckled, certainly not redhaired (and not crewcut at that), no purple-and-green, and not even any turtlenecks...

Still, quite funny...

As for Oddwen, to return the favour, I see her as short to medium height, near-black hair with blue or violet highlights. Her eyes are either green or blue (or maybe one is green and one is blue). She dresses in green and black, quite casually, and is but a mere acquaintance of whatever is "in". She has lots of friends, but is not considered to be one of the "popular circle" in school (a good thing), and can often be heard trying to mumble something Elvish.

:D

Formendacil wears glasses. He is a homebody, a bookworm, not very athletic - thus giving him a complexion like a vampire's (like Eomer! :D). He has straight brown hair which could never be seen messy. He has a disposition too serious for his age.

That's just how you really struck me. :)

This complexion thing must stop, for you see Lhuna - my mother is crazy. Actually, my complexion has lead people to suppose I am French, Italian, Greek....but never Scottish. So I'd look like a particularly healthy vampire. But only when I'm cloaked.

I think I want to have a stab at Mithalwen (not literally). I picture her as being very tall, probably about 6'4, and she has a penchant for wearing flowing green dresses. She can often be seen floating through the woods, holding in awe the wispy spectres of the trees.

As for Oddwen she looks nothing like that girl who masqueraded as her in my dream. Oddwen is your typical damsel-in-distress, at least, she has the look (she doesn't often feel distressed, she's pretty happy and cheerful most of the time). She wears dark red and black dresses and an extremely tall and pointy hat. She probably lives in a tower and spends much of her time gazing out of the window, wishing for something extraordinary and beautiful to happen to her. She has huge puppy-dog eyes.

Eomer... not the shade of a vampire? :eek: Actually, he alternates between very pale and fairly tanned in my mind.

Black hair. Jet black, like all people from the Indian sub-continent. Not that I'm from there, but my parents are.
Big glasses... used to. They're small and neat now, in keeping with... *puking noise* fashion. May get contacts once my curséd conjunctivitis clears up.
I am incredibly short. :D
Idon'ttalkparticularlyfast.
I always have about two or three books on my person, occasionally very large.
I do not read aloud.
Dark colours? Hmmm. Maybe. Don't really care what I wear, whatever's in the wardrobe.
My clothes do fit me though. :p

Not in any shoes I could walk in... I know I love Hugo Weaving but I wonder if this is what you are thinking...

http://www.cultureandrecreation.gov....priscilla2.jpg

Less....odd.

Well. In a different way then.

Not really like that. Something of a Galadriel figure.

That, Mithalwen, is just plain scary. However, I believe it is how I will see you from now on!

:eek: :eek:

That's VERY freaky... With the exeception of the vampire-complextion, you've pretty much got it right!

To return the favour, Lhuna, for lack of a better image, is a darkish blonde, quite willowy, wears thick glasses and jean skirts, and has a few bruises from some friendly sibling fisticuffs...

Ignoring all of the descriptions of Formendacil thus far, here is my own:

He is tall... about 6'2" and, as a youth, must have been terribly gangly and awkward. He's now filled out a bit (but not too much... he's still slender) and now walks with a careful grace that is more learned than natural. He's got tawny blondish brown hair that flops into his eyes no matter what he does with it, and wears contact lenses. He can usually be seen with a messenger bag slung over his shoulder. Inside, one can find random references for use in every scholarly conversation known to man. Surprisingly, the bag is not all that large. It's reddish brown. He's got surprisingly blue eyes that people rarely remember... when they're asked, they say that they can't be certain, but they think they might be brown. What is actually remembered about them is the disorienting depth of them.

I wish I looked that good in green... :(

TGWBS's skin is what he detests it being referred to as the "glowing" healthy tanned variety. His hair is dark and short, but a little longer at the top, worn in a very "European" looking faux-hawk. His glasses are small wire frames that are very becoming. Contrary to everything I've heard, he is approximately 21, with a bit of an Oxford accent, and is rather tall. He loves irony.
Lhuna is Eowyn. I don't care what she says otherwise. But she's got a little grey kitten that can usually be seen curled up on her left shoulder. She hates how much it sheds on her white button-up shirts (the flattering variety), but she can't resist it's cuddly warmth and how softly it purrs as it naps.

Nilp changes appearances as often as he changes personalities. He's been spotted by credible sources in a 50's sitcom style floral frock, with a lacy apron over top, and a short while later, he's been seen surfing in naught but swim trunks, not that the ladies mind. His muscular frame is highlighted in a rather becoming way by his dark tan. He's got black hair that flops, for lack of better word, over his forehead.

Feanor... how terribly wrong you are. :p

I like my skin... the tan is nice.

Dark, oui. Short, oui. Faux-hawk... non. I don't really care about my hair, though I'm under pressure to adopt a quiff soon. At the moment it more or less does what it wants.

True. Though they're made of plastic, so not quite.

*Dies* 21? Ye gods...
Tall?? Ye Valar...
Oxford accent? Ye... something.
Worst. Prediction. Ever. :p

That he does. :D

I've always thought of Estel as looking like his avatar :D. About 6'4, 275 lb. with a thick, dark mustache and very intense (and I mean scary intense!) eyes. Sticks to what he knows, which is the books. He's read those more times than he's seen the films, which is a considerable number in both cases. He enjoys a pleasant game of chess, and would not be caught dead using a computer as a gaming apparatus. He works as a bouncer each night, and a very good one at that (his eyes do the work), yet has a softer side for that woman-of-his-dreams.

He used to enjoy soccer and rugby, before he had to beef up for his bouncer position. He still likes to watch those on TV, but can't very often because he sleeps quite a bit of the day. Yet he still finds time to coach a little league soccer team, and sometimes referees for other age levels.

I guess that avatar says a lot! :D

Gurthang, maybe I should just switch my avatar to words like yours, that would solve a lot of problems. ;) :p

What? How? You're amazing, I have no idea how you knew that. ;)

'tgwbs'
 

Fea, I think you hit really close to a lot of TGWBS's real characteristics - this is how I see him:

A bloodthirsty werewolf. He has be at least 6'2" when he's a wolf, though he truly is 'short' when he's in human form.

Short dark hair for his hide, or course.

Well, it's true his favorite dinner is a poor helpless European, but when the people are to wary he will settle for a fox or a hawk.

He is partial to a bit of Ox, but only when he can 'afford' it, the risk being great.

I imagine he does love iron, without his favorite sharpening tool his fangs wouldn't be nearly as razor sharp! :eek:

Homebody, bookworm...that's pretty much how I describe myself as well. You seemed to fit the bill, too, so there. Or maybe I'm stalking you. Who knows? ;)
There are no blondes in the Philippines. The natural ones, I mean.
Willowy...hmm...I have no idea.
I do wear glasses, but not thick ones.
Jean skirts...not really. Just jeans OR skirts.
I don't get bruises; I'm peaceful and non-violent by nature. If anyone's getting bruises, it would be my siblings. :D

Oh, I sure wish I had a kitten...*sigh* If I changed my avatar, would you still think I'm Eowyn? We wondersss, preciousss.

Henceforth, Lhuna must be pictured as a female Gollum... Probably prettier than her male counterpart, presumably with a bit more clothing than that loincloth, but equally dirty and rather hunched over, moving swifty on all fours, and muttering to herself with drawn-out "s"es. ;)

Cruel little hobbitsesss...we hatesss them, we hatesss them!

:p

Oddwen, Holbytlass and Shelob are tall, dark-haired, and elegant. They have large, sharp teeth, however, that distract from their natural beauty and their gaits, while not unnattractive, tend to look more like the lope of a predator. Holbytlass smiles more than the other two and speaks more, but Shelob has a cunning air about her. Shelob's exuberance is evident in the many happy freckles on her face. They all have long, sharp talons.

The Phantom is short, with croppy black hair cut into a military coiffure, and he wears iron-rimmed glasses. He rarely smiles, and always wears fatigues. He works out a lot and has that odd muscly-short-guy look of a person who is always wanting to prove something by picking up heavy objects when pretty girls are around.

And speaking of pretty girls...

Feanor of the Peredhil is a tall willowy blond. She shatters hearts simply by walking down the road. She is cruel to men, loving to animals, and can jump very high. She is afraid of running water and freshly cleaned towels.

the guy who be short is tall.

Kuruhuran is short and heavily bearded.

The Saucepan Man remains lanky despite both his protestations to the contrary, and his love of a good pint or three after work...and dinner.


EDIT: this is Aman.

You are the only person from whom that is not a compliment. I can do the voice though.. 'You bring great evil with you, Ringbearer...'

Could have something to do with my avatars. I typically choose landscapes, paintings or architecture rather than pictures of beings - fantasy or real. I've found that avatars do influence my impression of people.

*Tosses a cough drop behind the door* Here you go, Morai.

Thank you Fordim for pinpointing exactly how I see her. :p

CaptainofDespair is a cute little red-head.

Mithalwen has a tail.

Gurthang resembles Trogdor.

the guy who be short resembles Scooby Doo.

Piosenniel is chipmunk-like.

Gil-Galad is the product of a hamster and someone who stinks of elderberries.

I am tall, dark and mysterious. (And female, thank you)

When I'm not playing devil's advocate, I love Galadriel just as much as the next person. Honest. :D

Fordim Hedgethistle is.........Farmer Giles of Ham! That is possibly Werewolf III related.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKkkkkkkkkkkk ...what sort of a tail do I have?

And Fordim, as everyone knows is Indiana Jones... ;)

I am?!? I was under the impression I'm a short and slender brunette.

Ah, well...

Depends on the situation, always right, and no, not really.

It's true. Dead disturbing when water gains that extra pair of legs and trots off down the road.

Hmm...very close, Formen, save for the hair color and the fact that I never went to school.

I think you're slightly mixing me up with Fiona of Shrek fame...yipe! I'm a distressing damsel, if at all. :p

I'm afraid you're completely off the mark there with me, Ford-O. Except that I used to file my fingernails into points. ¬.¬

Encaitare:

The first time I came across Enca was in Tol-in-Gaurhoth One. Due to her character, she has always remained an old crone in my mind since then, despite my later finding out that she's 18 (I think).

Enca is very old and wrinkled. She is kindly, and always has a smile on her face, if not a chuckle. She is wider than she is tall, and waddles whilst clutching her dress. She often bounces with excitement.

Some of that got added as I got to recognise her posts and know her a little better. She will probably become a normal young woman in my mind eventually. Until then, a crone she remains.

That description made me giggle incontrollably to myself while I read it.

It was Two, I think, but never mind that... and I have just turned 17.

I'm 5 feet 9 inches tall... that'd have to be pretty wide! :eek: Though the image of me waddling through a field holding up my hem is pretty funny. :D I guess being a crone isn't so bad. They're generally considered wise, which is always a good thing.

TGWBS.... is a guy who is short. Currently he's Ghandi, due to the avatar. Not very creative, but whaddayagonnado?

Blah to you too, dear. :D

And I can say you are not dark and mysterious, just tall and female. ;)

Neener Neener Neener!! :D

CaptainofDispair is the albino from The Princess Bride.

The Only Real Estel has been through three phases in my mind.

Early Phase: He looked like Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Obvious enough.

Middle Phase: This stemmed from seeing his name abbreviated to TORE. I pronounced this "Tory" which is a sort of nickname of the Conservative Party in Britain. Consequently, TORE became a Tory. He was 40ish, with balding hair and a paunch. He owned quite a bit of land and always wore a suit.

Late Phase: He's just himself from the photo-page. Boring, eh? Well, at least he's always horizontal, which is quite interesting. He manages to come on the Downs by balancing a laptop on his stomach.

Interesting imaginations, TGWBS.

You know what? I really shouldn't have put that up, being the ringleader of an Elven Mafia (as Morsul imagined) is so much cooler. :D

I've only just found this. I won't even go into detail about how hard the people generally surrounding me would laugh if they read that. Especially the ones that know me well. :) But in all honesty, your description sounds quite a lot more like my puppy. She's a German Shepherd and is... rambunctious. And fast. And likes to do hit-and-runs where she nips my shins and runs off, hoping I'll chase her. Me... I'm more mellow. ;) A little.

Now...

Lyta_Underhill is a young Jordan College resident who carries around a neat golden compass-like contraption. Her best friend is named Pan and she is married to Mister Underhill.

Mister Underhill is a very tall, suave, and sophisticated smial. This image occasionally switches to that of Inigo Montoya, complete with the six-fingered sword, dueling with the shadows to keep in shape.

The Barrow-Wight does not wear boxers, he wears Tighty Wighties. Over top of red tights. With a cape. As a matter of fact... he is Superman. His day job as 'Downs creator is just a cover up.

Estelyn is Merisuwynial.

Sharku is a hammerhead with a cold. "Shar----ku!" "Bless you."

The Saucepan Man is a government cryptographer who comes here in his free time to test out new codes and tests. He always returns shame-faced to his job where he must report that Cryptic Clue #342.9 has been solved by a 16-year-old. His bosses are not usually happy with this news.

Gil-Galad carries around Sophia's big yellow lightening bolts. When his puns are not appreciated, he throws them at people.

Tig is Princess Tigerlily from Peter Pan.

Random Title #13
 

Funny, I always imagined him as more of a Batman-y type. But you never know.....
