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

Oddwen · 01-29-2005, 02:42 PM

Ironically, the only person I don't see as their avatar is the Barrow Wight. I see him as a rather short, broad man with wild hair and beard. Almost a Tom Bombadil without the costume...I know I'm wrong, but the image lingers.

Oh, and Nilp. I can't help but see him as the little pixellated blonde boy that was his avatar so long ago. "Chip", wasn't it?

BW: rather small fellow, with black, well-tucked hair, and black-roundish glasses, likes to dress in black and white

Oddwen: A PPP (Perfectly Proportionate Person). The name "Alice" has quite invaded my image: She is rather petite, and blonde-and-blue-eyed, and likes to chase down holes after white rabbits, all the while exclaiming, "How curious!"

Neurion, don't you have blonde hair? I sometimes picture people like they're little pictures in the corner.

I thought so.

Here's another attempt:
Assasin: Because of the name, this might be a bit strange and a larger bit off. You have longish hair, I'd say dark, and you have copper/hazel eyes. Between those eyes is a straight slightly pointed nose. You love wearing long black trenchcoats and boots.

Oh, that book was one of my favorites when I was young! it wouldn't be a surprise to me if Oddwen was Alice... Always so inventive!

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.

Morai, sorry, nope. I have blonde hair and really dark blue eyes. They look black sometimes. I do like wearing black. It's one of my favorite colors. And I LOVE my black boots. I can't say if my nose is pointed, though.
I imagine E_D having fairly long layered brown hair and blue eyes. Likes to wear green and brown?
The Ka: Short dark hair. (Not too short though.) Dark piercing eyes. And a long nose and thin lips.
Neurion: Blonde hair, green eyes. Wears polos. Glasses? A kind of square nose.

Well...I'm blonde...

Somewhat inventive, yes. But I'm less flighty than that Alice, I'd hope.

Blond hair, check. Blue eyes. Glasses, check (usually wear contacts). I'm not exactly sure what a square nose would look like. I used to wear virtually nothing but polo shirts a few years back but I can't stand them now.
