Time to have another proper 'go' at this, methinks...so:

Boromir88 - he has messy brown hair and is clean shaven. He wears smart things for work, but at weekends is to be found wearing t-shirt and jeans, often crumpled because he hates ironing. He carries little 'talismans' around with him, such as things he has found and stuffed in his pocket, and has stuff hanging from the rear view mirror in his car, which is a company car, so this is his way of personalising it.

Fordim - tries to keep to the expected dress code of an academic, wearing lots of brown, for example, brown cords, beige jackets, and stone shirts, but he does have a tendency to wear pairs of 'humorous socks' which he is given for Christmas - he figures they are just socks, and who cares what they look like? His work colleagues are often intrigued as to whether he will have "those Rudolph socks on again".

Saucepan Man - I am imagining his desk. He has his own office, which is small, old fashioned and dark, but his desk is modern and has an extension table onto which he piles lots of 'filing' which never gets done, though he knows where everything is. He has pictures everywhere, and empty coffee mugs, and he has to frantically cram these into the drawers when he sees a client. He had a plant but it died.

Eomer of the Rohirrim - he lives in a student house so it is a central concept to him that he must never ever do the washing up until strictly necessary, but luckily his clothes are clean because he takes them home every fortnight to be washed. He is quite slim despite existing on a diet of crisps, beer and pizza; he gets his vitamins in the holidays with those home cooked meals. He always wears nice shoes.
