Elennar, you rock because you casually planted psychological seeds into the minds of the other Downers that I am one of the beautiful people. Whether you are right or wrong, I am not obliged to answer.
Lathriel, it was the hilarious (and English) Saucepan Man who brought forward the idea of me in a kilt. I have worn a kilt on several occasions in the past, actually. It's an experience, let me tell you.

*dies laughing*
Moving swiftly on.... rimbaud looks like your typical 19th century character. Long straggly hair, high hat, long dark grey cloak, and deep eyes. This works for both genders as I don't know which is appropriate.

Okay Nirvana, I have not tried this yet and I have actually forgotten your hints after having to read 8 pages but here I go.
You have red hair are of normal height and you have blue or green eyes. Of course since you are a BDer most of your days you are found on the computer on Barrow Downs !!!!

I'm going to posting on Quickslash here, even though he/she hasn't been around a whole lot.
Quickslash: For some reason I'm going to see female, even though Qs struck me at first as being male. Black/brown hair, 5'8 if female, 6'2 if male. Likes a few sports, but mostly likes going to movies, uses the internet a good bit, but doesn't post here a whole lot. Maybe does a little art, probably has brown eyes, I'm terrified that I'm way off . Last edited by The Only Real Estel; 07-27-2004 at 09:50 PM. |

Mithalwen, you just couldn't help yourself could you? You'll find that everyone's different, and that there's only one way for a lady to discover the truth. Dare you?
Estel, you're right! You were able to put a face on my image of rimbaud and you got it spot on.

Ah, Meneltarmacil, I see you got tired of being mistaken for being female & having a hair color other than blonde & just went ahead & posted your pic as an avatar. Not a bad idea, but I can't bring myself to take the fun out of being guessed by doing that

Indeed. I was thinking he looked like an extra from the Muppets Christmas Carol (a human extra, of course). Retro cloaks, the way to go!
edit to add: rimbaud is (for the benefit of Estel) male. I guess every other Downer knew that except us!

Sorry Meneltarmacil my mistake. I'm really bad at guessing what people look like. I'm just not good at this thread at all.

Ah but then maybe she ceases to be a lady..... Indeed I have a glib tongue that is liable to drop me in hot water.... so self awareness being a wonderful thing I will resist the temptation to say "I'm game if you are.."

Feh
Not only that. but I'll have you know my hair is actually exceptionally stylish. Gah and indeed meh. And if you knock me down to just under half-a-foot, and have me green and somewhat amphibious you'd be closer to the mark.

A common question...

Rimbaud? Are you still there?
Guess he did not turn into a frog. I didn't hear *croak**croak* for an answer. Seems to me that more and more Downers are using their pic as their avatars... what a waste for this thread...I guess. Quote:

Oh.
Someone described me during my absence in this thread. Wow.
Quote:
At least, it's long for me. I haven't had it cut since...ummm...four-ish months ago. Now, Rimbaud is not really a frog but a salamander undergoing an identity crisis. He's hairless, green in colour, and perpetually covered in slime. A kiss from a fairy princess turns him into a frog. Unfortunately, that turns the fairy princess into a newt. The Only Real Estel is anything but the only real estel. He's one of those Aragorn look-alikes seen wandering your neighbourhood wild areas. Quote:
Like mistaking you, ninlalaith, for an 15 year-old redhead who gets into trouble at school for shouting the Ring Verse - in Black Speech - at inopportune times. Of course, I might be right. That would scare me to three-fourths death.

I think I saw Lhunardawen before.. Let's see, I think she has brown skin, she's very thin, wearing glasses, a bit longer than shoulder hair, and she was wearing a pony tail.
Nah just kidding, that was her friend. But the truth is, she looks like her avatar. She's nearly 5'5" tall with shoulder hair, always carrying LotR stuff and books. She wears glasses and talks in quenya and about LotR with her friends, who understands only a bit of what she's saying. |

Well , Nilpaurion, we have something in common...our guesses are few and far between. You have one thing right though I do tend to shout lines and songs from LOTR at inopportune times. Only when everyone was quiet. But I'll give you a few hints I'm not a red-head and I'm older than 15 (not by a whole lot but older).

*sighs* My, I have been gone a long time, haven't I? And no one has done me in the process. Pity.
Actually, Rimbaud has mostly struck me as somewhat rat-ish. Sort of like Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, except with Professor Lockheart (HP and the Chamber of Secrets) blonde wavy hair. Interesting combo, no?

Sirithheruwen I think you avatar might be close to what you look like.
Green eyes, auburn hair and a little poity nose. I'm alos guessing that you are petite, and that you really wish you were a little taller.

Sirith is a complete bundle of energy with extremely long hair and wild eyes. She is rather petite, I would agree.

I always thought Sirith was a slender little redhead, with an above-average number of freckles, lightly smattered across her nose and cheeks. Bright green eyes. Hair is stick-straight, and falls just to the base of her shoulder blades. It's cut layered, a la Lindsey Lohan in Freaky Friday, only no extra colors.

This is a bit dull, but I see a lot of you as looking like your name. This mostly applies to the ones with Lotr names, like Eomer of the Rohirrim, who therefore looks like Eomer dressed in a white t-shirt and ripped jeans, and The Only Real Estel, who dresses like a Ranger and likes hiking across moors in the mist.
Let's see.... Child of the 7th Age has short, blond curls and a cheerful smile and big blue/green eyes. Rather serious looking in a good-natured, responsible way. Mister Underhill wears a hat (I don't know the name, but they wore them with suits in the 1930's). He doesn't wear the suit though. Mad Baggins looks like his name: a Baggins. Short grey curls, glasses perched on the end of his nose, a slightly crazed look. And a waistcoat. Has the look of a cheerful and eccentric inventor. Evisse the Blue: shoulder-length, dark brown curls. Wears blue gowns. Witch-king: very tall. Feanor of the Peredhil: the only word that comes to mind is pointy... pointy ears, I think. Sharp-witted, tall, slim, short dark and spiky hair. Very clever, wide grin and good sense of humour. Sapphire_Flame: of medium height with flame-red, longish hair. Bright eyes, clear skin, rather a mystical look, like a spirit or an ancient goddess of war. That's enough from me for now, I don't feel I know any of you well enough to describe you in detail. Otherwise my brain is so mooshy I just can't think of anyone clearly. Sooo... there's my bit done. Who's gonna undertake the duty of describing my fair self? I want a minimum of five detailed descriptions, and all including the phrase "breathtakingly beautiful"...
