How do you imagine other BDers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I imagined Captain of Despair much like his avatar. Dark and somber. His picture kind of shattered that image. I was going for long dark hair. Not short red hair. The pale skin is on though. I imagined you fairly short, around 5'8" or so with a fairly lean build.

Thanks, Abercrombie, I was beginning to feel perhaps I was vapor in people's minds!

You are definitely spot on with the ears, I like my ears, they're nice.

Perky Ent - He's probably about my height, though I don't see him as such, so in my head he's closer to 5'4"-5'5". He has almost-blonde brown hair that isn't really long or short and is never tidy. He's almost always grinning, and most people think he's a little weird but like him anyway. He's usually at least a little out of it. Though he gets decent grades in school, he doesn't care too much.

When I try to imagine him, he becomes somehow inextricably linked with my brother (they're the same age), not because they're alike, really, but sort of because my picture of Perky came from a now much adjusted image of my brother. I can imagine grinning at Perky and saying, "Weirdo" in the same sort of voice I use with my brother. (Perks - that's not a bad thing. My brother's fun to tease, but I like him all right.

)

Morai is very pretty, and one of those genuinely nice people.

It sounds right to say Shelob wears a skirt. Even though she seems more of a jeans kind of person.

In fact, most people wear jeans, unless I specifically think otherwise - e.g. Eomer in a kilt, Nilp as a surfer. At least Nilp is starting to look Filipino...

Holby is about 5'7" and has a solid (though by no means big) build. She has longish light brown hair that she usually wears braided back out of her [freckled] face. She wears beat up old jeans with spotlessly white button-up shirts and loafers. She sometimes carries a sword.

Aw...*blushes*, I think prettiness in general is pretty subjective (PUN!), so in a sense I'm pretty to somebody out there. As for genuinely nice, I'm working on it.

Never! I imagine you as a twenty-something lady with sandyish hair and no eyes.

Well, *flutters lashes like a loser* now that I've seen Gil, I laugh to think that I ever pictured him looking like Michael Palin. Heh... Gotta admit, Gil is quite an attractive sight for sore eyes... Yay! The love of my life just so happens to be (VERRRY) a handsome prince! And I would've settled for nice, caring, intelligent, LotR fan! Good things come to those who wait. My new motto...I guess...

Well, I am dark and somber, at least in personality. But, I am sorry to break the image you had in your head. I would never have long hair, though...ever. Oh, and thanks for the short comment. At least someone thinks so.

I would also recommend lynching Durelin, as she sent that particular picture in.
