Now i'm starting to get the image of triplets, Phantom, Eomer and Myself, the loveable lookalikes of the downs, each with their own fangirls... like were cool or something...

Having read the thread again, I'm pretty sure we are not lookalikes!
Morai, you just described someone whom I would no doubt hate. Sorry m'dear, but you are wrong. Yourself I imagine as extremely small. Maybe it's because of your short name. Possibly one of the extra mutants from X-Men. For the sake of continuing the description, you have the ability to turn into a whirlwind.

Eomer has a very loud laugh, which descends into guffaws when he finds something mightily funny, something like...League of Gentlemen perhaps. He always has a comic/graphic novel stuffed in his bag, and he likes Czech lager. If he was a colour he would be Yellow.

I hope he's not offended by this, (Oh, owner of theses truly hospitable Forums) but for some unknown reason, I've always envisioned The Barrow Wight to look like a Stereotypical Australian. I have no idea why.

If so it is a spiritual rather than physical description - being part celt, part valkyrie in appearance, naturally I have always wished that I were a petite brunette..... OK now I shall delve into the deep recesses of my imagination and see what comes out - probably in direct contradiction of facts that have slipped out during the previous pages. I think Fordim ought to be content with my image of a younger Indiana Jones in his tweeds and specs..... my own experience of lecturers were that they were spectacularly badly dressed and or unkempt (apart from ones in France who were liable to wear cravats and look like bit part players in a Noel Coward play) . The english ones had a distressing tendancy to polyester or were aiming for a shabby chic look but just looked like tramps..... So Fordim is basically Indy but ... hmmm 5"11 and prematurely greying at the temples. Since he denies tweed - the jacket must be corduroy or a heavy canvas... cleanshaven, short hair but not quite a buzz cut. Drives an estate car. Lalwende is short, curvy and completely unable to keep a low profile. I think you definitely notice when she is around. Pocket battleship. Has to wear a suit for work but off duty - velvet, upmarket hippy stuff. Has a slightly quirky car - maybe a KA or a Smart. Ideally she would have a Morris Minor Convertible but needs something newer and more reliable. Boromir - I see as a bit like a grown up Harry Potter - lanky with specs and hair that doesn't want to stay tidy. Another person who has to be "suited and booted" for work and so the off duty gear is casual but not scruffy - jeans, timberlands, fleece ..... I suspect he is good at keeping a straight face even when something is making him laugh like mad inside. On no account play poker with him. His car.... either a company car or a sportscar Eomer - is a younger, taller version of Neil Oliver (one of the "Two Men in a Trench").

Eh... That's... Interesting...
I don't think BW looks that...well... you know what I mean... I keep thinking that BW lives in Massachusetts... It's wierd ,but okay for me. I usually identify people here by the first location that pops up... I have a geography obsession. Only a little one, though. Okay, here's a chance for me to be more specific: Okay, I already gave my shot to location but, I always feel that BW is in their early or late 30's? Okay, um... and has a strong connection with the colours green and blue? Eyes are a light colour... Oh forget it! I'm horrible at this! I'll just stick with the whole Massachusetts thing... ~Horribly lost in a sea of confusion and washed up on the Island of Forgotten Thoughts Ka~

Whilst I'm on the subject of Gil-Galad... I "see" him as my cousin Kevin....which is very odd. Very blonde hair, quite a show-off, about 5'6" or there about.

Hmmm... I imagine Gil-Galad/Sugar with brown hair and blue-grey eyes. He`s about... 5'6"?
I can`t even imagine what BW would look like. (300 posts! I know, it`s not much, but considering I joined in September, I'd say that`s pretty good for me. ) Nimmy

I don't wear suits for work, in fact I have yesterday's clothes on complete with a bit of curry, cunningly hidden beneath a Doctor Who scarf, soon to be joined by some crumbs. Barrow-Wight I always think of as in his 40s, with blonde hair, swept back, sometimes wears glasses, always wears jeans, sometimes these are exceedingly tatty but he thinks that's even cooler so wears them til they fall apart. And funnily enough, when I think of THE Ka, I always think of a Ford Ka! Bizarre image, yes...and you are now welcome to think of me as a vehicle too.

This could be my worst result since my History A-Level.......
Oh dear - long hair and no jacket/car now means that I no longer think of you as Doctor Jones but as my aging hippy art lecturer cousin.... not a good swap lol. I believe an estate car is called a Stationwagon in N America.......

I didn't mean to be insulting by the way *slinks off guiltily* But where are you going to get a new Panda? I thought they were really difficult to breed? Sorry, I had to stop this turning all Clarkson. Oh, I have to describe Hookbill the Goomba since I discovered he's a youthful 'Tull fan! OK -> he's got shoulder length light brown hair, he wears jeans and jumpers, and sturdy boots. He has one of those canvas army bags that are really difficult to get hold of these days, and he draws on it. It is stuffed with books and empty sandwich bags, and he always wears a personal stereo.

Hookbill The Goomba may have long brown hair, I don't know. But this I do know: He wears Frodo's orc-helmet.
All the time.

Great pic, BW! Maybe it should be subtitled " On Processor Allocation / Deallocation Techniques in Hypercubes " just to be MORE obscure!
Cheers! Lyta

Anywho Barrow-Wight I sometimes imagine as a nerdy teenager, sitting at his computer. Sandy brown hair, cut short and somewhat spikey, but not gelled. It's more like a "got out of bed and didn't want to bother with my hair" look. A very distinguished nose, and light blue eyes.

Hair not so long... yet. No jeans. Not so sturdy boots. Not an army canvas bag, more a Ford Prefect (TV series) esque one. I do always have my personal stereo... well iPod... *Plays a passion play on iPod* … *Dances* Lalwendë is probably about 5 foot 9 (random height), with dark hair and a VERY retro look. I.e. a “Too old to rock and roll, too young to die” T-shirt and Jeans with a death’s head belt buckle… and a cape. And you ride a Harley Davidson everywhere.

Guffaws? No. Neil Oliver? That's a spookily close person to guess, and keep in mind that I have no idea who that person is either!
Oh, I'm being so cryptic today... Anyhow, I did not know that you loved amelie Mithalwen, it just popped into my head once upon a time.

In the Halls of the Mirrorless
I would like to put a different slant on this one please, and tell you how I imagine myself. I am tall, dark and handsome (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I have shiny long black hair (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I am athletic and powerful (yeh, a bit like Aragorn). I ooze sexiness(yeh, a bit like Aragorn), well I do now they have taken all my mirrors away in my asylum.

narfforc, I will believe that when I see it.
Anywhee, I nearly always see THE Ka as her avatar. No matter how much she changes it. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of a gal with light brown hair and grey eyes, about 5'7".

It's creepy, but I always see people as their avatars. Nimrodel_9 is especially creepy, because apparently she's the identical twin to Dominic Monaghan.

THE Ka was remarkably tall and slender, with hair blacker than coal, shiny and straight, but rather short. THE Ka's eyes were also black, causing the instant second glance of any passers-by. THE Ka's skin was a well tanned gold, and THE Ka wore a rather large amount of gold jewelry. I'm sure the image this portrays is not that bad, but wait until I get to the next part: THE Ka tended to be surrounded by his many admirers, slaves, and typists. Yep, Ka, I only learned about 30 seconds ago that you're female. Sorry 'bout that mate. Fea
