Ha, NN10, I have you and everyone else beat. I am 14 and 5'7!!! {And I'm a girl.} But anyway, back to the real topic...

Here are some more discriptions:

Elenna: Older teen with shoulder length blonde hair. Around 5'4 in hight.

The Fifth: Uh, I don't really know. I kinda pictured you as Nazgul-looking, but more human. (if that makes sense)

Frodo Baggins: Brown hair, maybe in the thirties. (Sorry, but I don't really know yet if you are female or male, so I can't describe much more.)

Samwise 09-26-2002 09:41 PM

Shh....don't tell her I said this, but Frodo Baggins is a she and 18 (haven't a clue what she looks like, though)

Ithaeliel 10-02-2002 06:51 PM

No one wants to hazard a guess at me...? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

The Fifth 10-02-2002 08:00 PM

Well, I do look a bit like a Nazgul.. I am pale, although I spend a lot of time outside, and just look plain scraggly..

Ithaeliel, I've always pictured you as a young adult girl, greyish hair (dyed, of course), with glasses above mystical-looking brown eyes. Maybe it's because of your unicorn avatar..

OK, Salix, I picture you as being about 16 and having really dark brown hair cut in an ultra-short cut. Black lipstick, about 5'5".
Hate to disapoint you, but... that is nothing like me! (I don't mind. I brought this upon myself) For one thing, I hate makeup, for two, I like my long hair! Just a couple of hints. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Brinniel 10-02-2002 10:59 PM

Can anyone guess what I look like? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Phoenix Solitude 10-03-2002 08:27 AM

Umm...around 15, flashing dark eyes, strong chin, tall, long black hair that waves slightly.
Me?
And people, can you stop taking offence when someone describes you wrong.
and as for you lucky creeps who get described with out asking...think of us poor things!

VanimaEdhel 10-03-2002 05:25 PM

GreatWarg: I picture you as shortish...maybe 5'6"...brown hair...sort of thin...I dunno...maybe glasses, I dunno...

Cimmerian: I still picture you as looking like your icon...

ThengiseGreenleafofMirkwood: Small, thin, somewhat hyper. Blonde...contact lenses, maybe...grey-blue eyes...young.

TheFifth: I pictured you as you described.

Phoenix: This one's for you! Now, I don't know you, but...I see...somewhat tall. With either dark black hair or red hair (the "Phoenix" part probably makes me think red and "Solitude" think of black...). Bright grey eyes...about average build...I don't see glasses...

Ithaeliel 10-03-2002 05:45 PM

Here's how I'd describe myself if I didn't know me:

Pale complexion, wears dark eyeliner & black lipstick, wears black dresses & skirts, tight black shirts, very slim figure, short, chunky black hair.

Yes, I've actually been considering going goth. It'd be interesting; I'd be the only goth in the entire school!

Phoenix: I hate to ask you this, but... are you a girl or a boy? I'm guessing the former.

Fifth: (Thank you for the description by the way... I love The Last Unicorn) A hyperactive ringwraith.

goth isn't about clothes, it's a state of mind.

Eol 10-03-2002 07:06 PM

Thank you!


It is a state of mind. The clothing style if you choose to look like the real thing here it is: 17- 18th prom and circumstance. Waistcoasts and long dresses. Black is not neceassarly the color, but certainly velvet and silk is the choice material.

Ahem, carry on!

Ithaeliel 10-03-2002 07:45 PM

******OT********

I sort of do have that state of mind. I'm just considering appearing as a goth.

NazgulNumberTen 10-03-2002 07:55 PM

i go to a catholic high school (with uniforms) so i cant make use cloths to make an impression. (except on dress down days when i look like a skater. even though i don't stakeboard. weird eh?)

Ransom 10-04-2002 08:28 AM

Anyone want to take a shot at guessing what I look like? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Halbereth Diagona 10-04-2002 08:36 AM

Ok...tall, thickset, short black hair, hooked nose, small narrowset green eyes.

Eol 10-04-2002 09:05 AM

*Eol rubs hands*

Well Ransom, I am not that good as this, so forgive me.

I am going to say that you have light brown hair and brown eyes, maybe blue. Though for all I know you may be greek!

Ransom 10-04-2002 09:24 AM

I'm Asian and 5'7". Definutly thickset. Short black hair, narrow black eyes, normal nose. Computer geek. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eol 10-04-2002 10:07 AM

Heh, I suppose I would have been closer if I had said you were greek. Well if I drop the "r" I would have gotten the geek part right. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Auriel Haevasawen 10-05-2002 09:45 AM

Brinniel, as I only know you from RPG my image of you may be a little odd. I think of you in long floaty dresses, all floral and pastel. I think your hair is at least shoulder length and probably brown and slightly curly. You have ear-rings in the shape of Dream Catchers and are probably in your mid-teens.
No offence intended if I'm way off the mark. When I last described someone months ago they seemed rather shocked at my inaccuracy.
By the way to those who discuss the 'Gothic' state. Try calling yourself 'Bohemian', there's a bigger scope for self expression within that particular pidgeon hole.

Neferchoirwen 10-05-2002 11:01 AM

Yay! Another Asian! Hallo, Ransom! Where you from?

Ith, I was thinking you were blond.

Tigerlily: always with braided pig tails. I'm sure someone might have said that before.

Eol: Mysteriously, I imagine you to look a bit Mexican, or Spanish.

If maika was thought to be Hawaiian, my guess would have been asian (a lot of girls where I live are named maika).

NN10 reminds me of my younger brother. When my bro was NN10's age, they looked pretty much alike. My brother's three years younger than me and he's way past 5"5. which is tall in the standars where I live in.

Anyone wanna guess how I look like?

Eol 10-05-2002 11:05 AM

Mexcian or Spanish, well I will have to add that on the list. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I am far from looking like that, complete opposite!

I am blonde, green eyed and rather pale.


Nef: I think you are asian with your comment above. Other then that, I have not idea.

Maikadilwen 10-05-2002 12:17 PM

Hawaiian or Asian are very far from the truth.

No, I'm the "typical" Scandinavian, with very pale skin, blonde hair and
grey/green/blue eyes (changes all the time depending on my mood). [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ransom 10-05-2002 01:26 PM

Neferchoirwen- Parents from Taiwan. I'm a ABC. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm guessing you're around five feet. Long brownish-black hair down past shoulders and black eyes. Not too hyper. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ithaeliel 10-05-2002 07:28 PM

Thank you for that suggestion, Auriel! Bohemian is a much better word. Ah, the days of the radical mind...

Neferchoirwen- I'm not blonde; I have dark hair. But the character with my name (in one of my {future} fics) is blonde! And I picture you as a sweet and spunky elf girl, about 15, with long dark hair with braided sections at your temples. You have a very wide smile and dark eyes.

Ransom- I pictured you as a sort of inscrutable rogue (that's a good thing) who is sort of an average height, dashing, with a curiosity for the unknown and not afraid to take risks. (yeah, I know, cheesy, but it's just your name...)

Neferchoirwen 10-08-2002 08:31 AM

I'm acutally 21, but yeah, I look more like a 15 year old (being about 5'2). My brother had been thought to be older than I am, since I'm the talkative one.

Ransom, what's an ABC? I'm a displaced flip (Fil-American).

Any Fil-Ams here? (I hope.)

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 10-08-2002 08:43 AM

I always thought that the ABC was a sort of railway timetable. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ransom 10-08-2002 03:12 PM

American Born Chinese. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 10-14-2002 08:15 AM

6 pages without being described again...man, im not sure if im please or not! I mean, another description of me was as a skater...

Quote:

Mithadan: Dark hair, neatly cut. Clean shaven. What mothers would refer to as "a nice young man" when he was in high school.
Actually Elenna, now i think of it, i couldnt think of a better way to describe mith. And Maril said
Quote:

brushing dust off his cufflinks
and add that to yours and Ladies and gents, i present to u my view of mithadan!

Quote:

Cimm:...popular with the girls
Oh susan, now uve really got him preening!

havent we gone off the origional idea a wee bit? Wasnt it meant to be describing what theyd look like in LotR terms?

LadyElbereth 11-04-2002 04:57 PM

wow, this is so very interesting! Anyone care to guess what I look like?

Ithaeliel 11-04-2002 09:02 PM

Love the avatar, LadyElbereth! It's very pretty. I'll take a shot at you...

Long, dark blonde hair, very shiny, kept in ponytail. About 13 years old, quiet around other people, but loud and hyper around close friends (like me)

LadyElbereth 11-05-2002 08:18 AM

Thanks Ithaeliel! Lol, you pretty much summed up my personality, I'm wild, hyper, and crazy all the time excpet when I'm around people I don't know, then I quiet down (a little). lol! And as for my looks, nice try, but no cigar. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
(hee, hee I always thought it'd be fun to be a blond!)
Anyone else care for a try?

Neferchoirwen It can be a blessing or a curse. I'm almost 37 and people still treat me like a kid! It must be the Elven blood.

VanimaEdhel 11-06-2002 06:40 PM

Cimmy? A ladies' man? Most definitely...

Elenna 11-06-2002 07:25 PM

Oh, I see him as a rather misunderstood hottie. The kind that doesn't wear Abercrombie and therefore doesn't get the attention he so richly deserves.

But a hottie nonetheless. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

...poor fella.
acually, right now i have grown a bit, i am a little below 5'3''. still really pale and skinny though, with half a mustash and a few pimples.
my hair is always messy (i refuse to comb it...for some unkown reason)
expect some more scars soon, as i am always finding new ways to hurt myself.
...god i'm screwed up.

HerenIstarion 11-07-2002 01:37 AM

cheer up NN10. As it was engraved upon king Solomon's ring - 'all passes, and this will pass also' (I messed up the quote, but the general meaning is that). Half mustaches tend to grow and become normal, and dark corners tend to become tedious after a while, and ducklings tend to turn into wonderfull white swans coming out of their dark corners [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] General direction, you know

DarkRose 11-08-2002 10:20 PM

This is a very interesting thread, bwaha. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Would anyone like to take a wild guess at what I look like?

Raefindel 11-09-2002 12:38 AM

Ummm, do you have petals and thorns? Oooh! Great stems, baby! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 11-09-2002 04:44 AM

a misunderstood hottie? my my, and hes not even here to appreciate all this... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Im 14 and I still get asked my age for 12 rated films in the cinema!

Elenna 11-09-2002 12:40 PM

Yeah. All this Cimm discussion is somewhat useless. When he gets back, you'll have to give him the link!
