I tend to be too serious. Everyone around me comments on that.

Of course Lal's had that Bilbo avatar for as long as I can remember, but I've always thought she was Saruman. Simply because of this thread:

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthr...hlight=custard

Her musings about Elves walking on custard, and wanting to find out how everything works. To which, I responded she was sounding like Saruman and she practically placed Saruman on a gold pedestal, praising him as the greatest man in Middle-earth.

Mith, I think of Galadriel...particularly during WW where reading her posts are relaxing and I call 'a breath of fresh air', but certainly someone you do not want to cross in that game.

Agan's personality reminds me of Eowyn, although I don't think she would be into the Aragorn's of the world...still a strong-willed and determined person.

the phantom = Feanor 'nuff said.

Boromir88 reminds me of Boromir because their names are similar.

mormegil · 07-09-2009, 02:15 PM

Esty reminds me of Gandalf. She is everywhere and does everything. Yet she is patient and long suffering. The loss of Esty to the downs would be as devastating as the loss of Gandalf was to the fellowship.

Boromir actually reminds me of Elrond. A lore master always quoting from letters and histories.

SpM could remind me of Tom Bombadil. Very wise and serious and yet very light-hearted all at the same time.

mormegil · 07-09-2009, 02:16 PM

Oh and Boro, I agree Phantom = Feanor

Hakon · 07-09-2009, 05:14 PM

Add me to that Phantom Feanor bandwagon. I agree.

mormegil · 07-09-2009, 06:02 PM

B-W is Eru as he created the site and was around for a while and slowly or suddenly left the affairs to others and now is seldom seen

You all realise, of course, that if the phantom = Fëanor, then we're only a step away from the phantom = Fëanor of the Peredhil. Not that this wouldn't explain all sorts of things in relation to the phantom's ego and such...

In any case, I by and large do not tend to associate people on the Downs with people in the books, but Lalwendë is Galadriel to me--ageless and fey. Mark/Helen is Goldberry--not sure why, but there's a mental association with washing clothes on rainy days crosswired in the brain somewhere.

Relaxed and me and werewolf seem terribly unlikely somehow..andI fear that your final comment shows you were actually thinking of Shelob....

Despite the name Boro sometimes reminds me of Sam ...never afraid to speak his mind...

I never noticed this thread before... I thought I'd check it out just to see if anyone else thought the phantom = Fëanor. Really.

To me Legate is Cirdan, since nobody else in M-e could be as knowledgeable. Cirdan lived through all the ages, he saw and knew all, and as such would be best fit Legate. Plus, Legate has an Elvish appearence.

I also thought about Pengolodh, but he is more a linguist.

You can't really tell them from one another in this manner, you know

But maybe you are more like Pippin and Lauri is more like Merry.

Oh, I'm flattered

Interestingly enough, you remind me of some of the major characters of the earlier ages, but perhaps most of all of some early Númenorean king (or one name that occurs to me is Tar-Palantír), or even an early Arnorian or Gondorian one. Though the names that now occur to me (Isildur, Arvedui) are certainly not the most encouraging ones.

But hmm... now maybe... Malbeth the Seer? You see, you have got this air of a Númenorean lorekeeper around yourself.
