Folwren... well if I just could remember whether he is a she or he or something else entirely, I might have a clearer image.
Ah. That seems to be most people's stumbling block. It's getting quie vexing, you know.

Alcarillo: He's about eighteen...maybe twenty at the oldest. Dark hair, dark eyes, and he's shy. When he smiles, which he does often, it's a very soft, 'quiet' smile, if you know what I mean. He's rather handsome, and all the girls wish he would flirt with them, but he doesn't...either because he's too shy or because he's too wise for that. He doesn't talk overly much, but he usually makes sense when he does. When someone does him wrong (on accident) (like killing him in WW) he's very forgiving. He never loses patience, either, which is nice.

How's that?

"Jack" is permanently a guy, due to that very name. Though at first I imagined a small cheeping female bird (in the best sense), now Jack is about 5'11", with floppy blonde hair, and green t-shirts that say things like "just say no to drugs" and "imagine whirled peas".

...What are you whirled peas?

Not quite eighteen, a bit younger.

Quite the opposite! Blonde hair, greenish-bluish eyes.

Well, yes, I am quite introverted.

I'm not sure about the often part, but I suppose I have a "quiet" smile.

Teehee, now I'm blushing! You're right that I'm not a flirter. I'm not sure what the girls think of me, though, but I like your ideas.

True, true.

I think I'm patient and forgiving. I don't get angered easily.

And while on the subject of ages, I have yet only found one 'Downer who strikes me as old enough to be retired: Thenamir. I rather suspect that the isn't that old, but that's hold old he strikes me.
I deliberately put forward the image on the chat of being an old geezer, since I am considerably older than most of the regulars, but in reality I just turned 43 a couple of weeks ago, September 23rd (Frodo's Hangover Day, the day after the Birthday Party).

Leaf Time to return the favor

Folwren – She's somewhere in her mid-teens. Her hair is dark brown and wavy, and is past her shoulders and frames her face just so. Her beauty has attracted many suitors (i.e., young hobbledehoys begging for a prom date), but she has spurned them all with a wild laugh and gallops off on a horse into a blood-red sunset. She plays a musical instrument, probably a flute or violin or clarinet. She is ruthless and determined when she feels that things aren't fair, and she has an enthusiastic way of rallying others around herself.

Jack – A blond, British ship captain in his 40s.

Ah, it's fair. Hair isn't dark brown...actually a very light brown, and it's a wee more than wavy...and to my waist, not a bit past a shoulders.

'fraid no one's ever begged me for anything, save my little brother in attempt to get me to go out and build a fort with him. I do love to ride...

I play a violin very poorly. *winces at the thought* Very poorly.

Alcarillo will always be the mayor of Swankytown in my eyes. Because of that, I picture him like a short stubby 42ish aged person with a bowler hat and has an air of authority.

Folwren is my fellow LOTR conspirator and always will be. She's got to be around 15-17 at least. I think her deepest ambition is to fly, without being in a plane.

Boro is still Ryan Seacrest.

B-W is a ghostly figure that always seems to pop up in my dreams but never says anything so I can't place his voice.

Well since Enca changed her avvie, I'll be picturing her as Elizabeth off of Pirates of the Carribean now.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
I just had a funny little picture in my mind of Anguirel as Governor Swan from Pirates of the Caribbean. Not entirely sure where that came from - it just came to me with his use of the word "Hurrah."
