Gil-Galad is the 'Downer that everybody knows of and secretly (or not so secretly) is in love with.

There is strong affection for his punnery and his Trogdor avatars. Gil once was resurrected as Sophia the Thunder Mistress, which, for the curious, is why his name is sometimes followed with the mysterious (TTM).

Fea is eather the phantom's secret(or not to secret) bride or the phantom himself.

She is talented with changing pictures, the pupil in my eye avatar was changed from a heart thanks to her. She likes taking photos I believe. Fea is als the most frequent poster on "What do you assign to Mordor?", that makes me think everything and everyone gets on her nerves, I can relate.

Glirdan · 09-29-2005, 07:23 PM

I would do something on Wilwa, but seeing as me and her are best friends, I don't think it'd be fair. So I'll let someone else do it. I'm nice that way.

I wouldn't say the post before yours was 'chatting'...after all, a lot of similar comments have been posted in the previous pages. It's completely natural for people to wonder about some of the things written about them. And it is not as if her post was off-topic.

Gil-Galad · 10-11-2005, 06:26 PM

lets see....

Wilwa was an enchanting girl in Valinor, born into a famous family (her father invented Make-Up that makes your eyebrows like Elronds) and was sought by all the hot-blooded male elves of the Undying Lands. Her mother wanted her to wed a Prince so she can gossip about how her daughter married a prince!!! Her father was never home though, always looking for new make-up ingrediants.

Wilwa never wanted any of this fame though, she wanted to be special in her own way, so she went through a multitude of jobs, being that crazy squrriel lady, to Ciggarette Butt cleaner, to Valinor Idol and so on and so forth. she heard news of the great battles that has been going on outside of valinor, of the great and handsome Gil-Galad and how she wanted him so bad.

One day, she visited Varda and asked her if she could go visit Middle Earth, Varda said 'No you crazy squirrel lady now leave me alone or i shall taunt you a second time!'(ha! varda is a french soldier!) so Wilwa used her wits and called varda a Witch and burned her at the stake for witchcraft, thus the fall of the Undying Lands begin as everyone accuses everyone of witchcraft. Seeing this, Wilwa still wanted to meet the brave Sir Galahad, i mean Gil-Galad, so she was walking through the forest and stumbled over Irmo that was hiding there, she said that if he turns her into a small flying insect, that she won't accuse him for witchcraft, Irmo did this, turning her into a Mosquito, but Wilwa was mad, took some blood from someone, and described where Irmo was hiding, what he has been doing, her encounter and a 24 page story-book for the kiddies(that someone was Mormegil and he is now dead through lack of blood - :P ).

After Irmo was captured and burned at the stake, he turned Wilwa into a Butterfly and Wilwa flew over the sea, she was amazed at Middle Earth that she did not see the stone, flew right into it and fell down into a miniture Barrow designed for some weird guys bugs... and thus began her life ath the downs, the magical Butterfly that can type!!!

Gurthang · 11-23-2005, 02:35 PM

Ah, yes, Gil. The beloved (and self-named!) Punmaster of the 'Downs. Never know quite what to expect from Gil, since he's just as capable of making an astute Books post as he is of confusing the heck out of everyone in a Werewolf game. Just about everyone wants to see him as a Werewolf again, just because people never know what to think of him.

For more real info, he's 58th by reputation, his birthday was about a month ago (making him 16), and he's made 3200+ posts since he died.

Orominuialwen · 11-23-2005, 05:10 PM

Gurthang is from Ellinwood, Kansas, which is a small town in the middle of the state. He goes to Kansas State University, better known as K-State, which is in the Little Apple (Manhattan, KS) and is also my mom's alma mater.

Gurthang is 19 and his birthday is July 7th. Judging by his former signature and current location, he enjoys playing video games and prefers Gamecube to X-Box. He has the greatest number of posts on the Arrows 'nd Bows thread, which tells me he likes making anagrams. He also prefers clear soda over Coke/Pepsi and likes Mountain Dew best of all.

Cailín · 11-23-2005, 05:15 PM

Let’s see if I can do this...

Gurthang likes werewolves, video games, starting intelligent new threads and eating chickens, innocents and wolves alike . He dislikes homework, and can appreciate neither coke nor pepsi. Recently, he has been using quotes from other Downers as his signature, which is probably the reason why the entire Downs population is constantly trying to make witty, intelligent and memorable one-liners.

Gurthang’s werewolf obsession is alarmingly obvious. Not only has he never quite gotten over his Bear-experience, he also intends to pick up girls by using WW references. Lately, he has posted that he has become a highly suspicious being, which possibly explains his camera fear and urge to hide in what looks like a cornfield.

His birthday is in July, he is currently 19, and he is now ranked 23rd in the members list. He failed to fill out the Barrow Confessional, though, which makes him much more mysterious than some.

Edit: Oi, sorry Orominuialwen, I again forgot to check for cross-posting...

So here for Oro:

Orominuialwen has about the hardest name to spell correctly on the entire Downs. She is a fan of Celtic things, which is why I'm convinced she’s very nice. I believe she’s quite into music and arts and all other pleasant things. She looks very Hobbit-like, according to herself, and I suppose that must be true then. She hates being mistaken for much older than she really is, but I’m not sure just how old she is, because she chose not to reveal that in her profile. She says she lives in The Pit of Oblivion, but we all know she really lives in that wonderful place called the Shire.

Folwren · 04-11-2006, 03:21 PM

Good heavens above!! Talk about some elaborate detail there on Firefoot. How on earth...?

Well, let me try.

JennyHallu is a young wife, has no kids, but hopes to someday. She is extremely observant and remembers in great detail many things that happened to her in her past, but not only does she remember stuff like that, but she also remembers the mundane, every day life stuff, which is one reason why she is a secretary (like me) in an office that is not always very busy and where she has immediate access to a computer that is not connected to the internet by dial up.

She is a very friendly young woman, merry and happy and always cheers people up around her with a smile.

Jenny is extremely smart. Don’t underestimate her brain power. (It’s either that, or she knows computers so well that they do her thinking for her, but I doubt that’s the case.)

She can draw and enjoys doing so.

She types quickly - at least 70 words per minute, but that's only when she doesn't know the content of her writing very well.

And almost the best in my opinion and maybe the last - Jenny can write excellently. Her role playing is awesome reading, and I wish she would publish a book so I could read it. She’s been writing a long time and has written, over time and in different stories, about many different sorts and types of characters.

Nope, that wasn’t the last - this one is. She loves her husband dearly and they both dote on each other as they should. They always enjoy getting home at night when work is over and they can see each other, and I’m afraid I can’t tell you if she’s any good at cooking, but if I could, I would add that she cooks them up a nice dinner at evening and they live happily ever after - until the next morning.

JennyHallu · 04-11-2006, 04:45 PM

Folwren is, though it took me a VERY long time to be absolutely sure (I'm blaming the self-references as a "chap" and her Jack alter ego), a girl. She has long, light brown hair, and is somewhere between 16 and 18 years old. (Pure conjecture) She also has absolutely no accent.

She has a younger sister and an older brother, and will be an aunt within the usual nine-month span. She lives near a wooded area, but her family keeps horses, and has a swingset, which Foley and her siblings used to pretend was a pirate ship. She works part-time and attends school, and plays violin in ways that make men long for ear-plugs. Like Firefoot, she is a Veggie-Tales fan, which leads me to the conjecture that she is Christian.

Foley likes birds and pays close attention to signatures. She has a great deal of respect for Winston Churchill. Her favorite elf is Fingolfin, and her favorite hobbit is Sam, whom she will defend to the death if need be.
