I like the disembodied voice bit as well.

I am now imagining Boromir as one of the Test Match Special crew noticing buses, pigeons and scoffing chocolate cake, having a photographic memory of Wisden and collapsing into helpless laughter after inadvertant double entendres. The only question is wether he would be Borrers or Eighters......

THE Ka is a darkish sort of maroon-purple.

Estelyn Telcontar is yellow-green.

Fea is darkish wine red.

Eomer is brown.

Umm...I'll do more later.

I discovered quite randomly yesterday that I have a few songs (or bands) in my head that really remind me of Barrowdowners.
When I think of Eomer of the Rohirrim, I tend to imagine Modest Mouse or Bright Eyes playing behind him. That's in the threads. Via PMs, Metallica's earlier albums have the spotlight.

Encaitare is the song Bittersweet Symphony. "A million different people from one day to the next" describes her nicely, since so many people describe her differently.

Due to TGWBS's avatar when he was modding Tol-in-Gaurhoth, he has Of Wolf and Man by Metallica playing on a regular basis.

The Phantom has Frank Sinatra.

Estelyn has Bach.

Sharku has creepy classical. Not in a bad way, just... more drums.

Mithalwen, due to a well-chosen mathom, has I Will Survive at nearly all times. It is broken up with bagpipes playing mournfully (but way cooly) on a far distant hill in the morning fog.

Don't get me wrong... I have no idea if these people actually listen to the songs or bands I just mentioned... but they remind me of each other.

I hope that will be an omen ..

I've always thought of Mith as Harriet Vane. Tall, short dark hair, kind of thick eyebrows, sallow complexion. I don't have a mental image of her as Harriet from the BBC versions (the later ones, Harriet wasn't in the ones from the '60's), but more from the cover of some of my mom's Dorothy Sayers books, very much like this.

Mithalwen is the colour of aspen leaves in early-ish autumn.

Orominuialwen is a dark, slightly purplish blue, somewhere between cobalt and navy blue.

Wilwarin is light blue with a bit of pink behind, that blends in some places to a lilac purple.

The Phantom is very dark purple.

Saucepan Man is a rather ordinary shade of brown.

Lucky...

Encaitare, besides being a mystikally cellorific enterprise (I have said this earier in this thread... It's somewhere and beautiful.) has always reminded me of of a good true Pre-Raphaelite work, possibly a Rossetti. Something like this: Helen

The phantom reminds me of an Cubist work, specifically Arch Tower by Lyonel Feininger.

Wilwarin, is more of a Georgia O'Keeffe, especially From the Lake I.

Elennar Starfire, is without a doubt one Brian Froud's wonderful pastels, Penelope.

Well I make a better sleuth than a villain certainly.... that doesn't look an awful lot like me but it does rather remind me of a picture of my great grandmother - - the same shaped face and expression.... I am tall .. the rest well I will ressurect this

not quite so long nosed or rusty (edit due to a Loreal related disaster - I am now that rusty !!) - and I find a suit and fewer acolytes more appropriate for the office!

Or maybe this is closer .........

Does anybody else imagine people as actions?

Feanor has always been a excited forward rushing movement.
Eomer is an elegant half-pirouette, half-jump thing which, if he tried to do in real life, would probably end with him in a small heap and a broken arm.
Gil-Galad is a sort of excited bounce.
SpM is a little amused laugh, and then two saucepans crashing together.
LMP is a smirk which develops into manic laughter.
The Ka is a philosophical frown.
