The Only Real Estel · 07-09-2005, 08:08 AM

Dancing Spawn likes music, drawing, & thunder. She's also one of the select few that have been werewolves in Tol-In-Gaurhoth.

The Only Real Estel is awesome. He was famously the most difficult customer to pin down in the 'How do you imagine?' thread. I myself tried (and failed) to pin down his identity around a dozen times. All I really managed to gauge was that he does not chew tobacco (nor baccy).

He enjoys his politics, is always up for a friendly debate with someone who shares different views (unlike one Downer I once encountered). He loves his popular music. His calling card is his trademark signature style, which is both clever and funny. And he has a history of brilliant avatars, Wario being arguably the best.

O, and he's American. And he has never travelled beyond the planet Jupiter. Not even once.

Eomer of the Rohirrim is a swashbuckling pirate. He drinks a fearsome amount of tea.

Though he claims to be a Scotsman, he does not own any bagpipes. I'm not quite sure how this works.

Eomer had many good points to his personality. One of these is his original sense of humour which often reduces those around him to hysterics. He is also intelligent, and likes Snoopy. Women enjoy tales of his accent and kilt.

Despite all these positive attributes, his continuing inability to commercialise his fanclub belies his lack of skill in business and finances.

TGWBS enjoys turning into a werewolf so he can taste the various races from Middle-Earth. He has a strikingly bizarre sense of humor, yet tends to avoid direct conflict. Ghandi is his idol.

He's not really that short, but assumes a diminuative stature to hide his store of endless knowledge, which he pulls out here and there with immense results.

Also he prefers the taste of Elf over Orc.

HerenIstarion · 07-15-2005, 03:14 AM

Gurthang is 19, and has been 19 for the best part of last week and litlle into current one, as his birthday was on July 7

He’s been around for two years, joining the Downs in August 2003, but, according to his signature, still remembers the time when he was unaware of the forum

Unlike many, he’s not afraid of starting threads. His first ever thread – Is it ALL gone? happened in The Books as early as on the tenth day of his membership

He likes discussing controversial issues and paradoxes, making good PR-titles for threads like Sauron should have won and LoTR and Wheel of Time

He started 23 threads so far, and yours truly participated in one of them: The Gift of Speech
His main hunting grounds are The Books and The Movies, though he also likes having a little fun in Mirth and drops by Novices and Newcomers from time to time as well

His posts tended to be informative or seeking information from the start - i.e. What happened? When happened? How happened? Now his interest seems to switch towards evaluation and theory as of 'Why happened? According to what and what philosophical/theological model?'

He has a developed sense of justice, urging him, per instance, to post in defense of Peter Jackson who, he feels, is snapped at more than is necessary and who have done quite a job in making LoTR into a movie

Gurthang does not have a homepage, unless we count the piece of paper he sits on to serve the purpose

His screenname translates as Iron of Death, and is the name given by Turin to sword Anglachel forged anew for him in Nargothrond.

Heren Istarion is newly-wed! He and his very lovely wife, Tina, took a trip to Paris for their church wedding after having previously wed in a civil ceremony in their home country (no, not a US state!) of Georgia. He has induced her to join as a new member, called Mrs. Istarion, quite appropriately, and introduced her to us. Now we eagerly await more pictures of the big event and hope she'll feel at home with us soon, so that the Downs will not separate them, but give them yet another common interest to share!
