Know Yer Mates, or a Member Above Ye - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gil-Galad · 06-22-2006, 10:06 AM

Ah Mormegil, the lovely Barrowdowner from Utah who has a knack for werewolf games, and now i get the lovely time to describe him...hmm...

Mormegil has always had a Monkey Avatar, usually holding a Handgun, but now his Avatar is the Brazilian flag so he must be cheering for the Brazilian Soccer Team in the World Cup.

Mormegil reminds me of my Grade 9math teacher for an odd reason, probably because of his height. He is married and has a beautiful little girl.

now for the parody version:

Mormegil was born into the usual family of elven Weapons, his mother a graceful and slender Teleri Bow and his father a Sturdy Elven War-Axe. But when he was crafted everyone knew there was something about him that was different then most metals.

Mormegil was tough but he always tried to tell everyone else that he wasn't a sword and his parents weren't a Bow and an Axe. They just ignored that and thought he was kidding. Mormegil was getting upset because nobody would believe him.

One day when flames were rising from the north, everyone was wondering whats going on, many wanted to start an army and fight. Mormegil wanted to go too but nobody would take him. 'you belong to the old man down the street', who was in fact his grandfather, but Mormegil wanted to go so bad, but nobody would take him so he had to stay while everyone else got to fight. Devestated, Mormegil ran to the tallest tree overlooking the town, there he cried 'Look at me! i'm not a sword! i'm an not born of weapons! i am real!' and at that moment Mormegil fell backwards and hit the hard floor below. When the towns-people ran up and saw that he was not moving, then they realized he was in fact real because after 20 minutes of staring and poking it with a stick, someone said 'hey! swords don't bleed blood...' they mourned for his passing and he is buried in the Barrow-Downs where he resides right now at this exact moment.

Gil-Galad is a Canadian Downer and is also know under the aka's: Gil-Galadster, Gil. The Everlovable and Superwight. . . .ok some of them are more used than others.

Gil is a well known and beloved member of the downs. .. He is often seen in Mirth and once he and I ruled the quiz-room together. . .May the day soon come when we shall do so again.

Gil's bigest achivment ever, was when he was the first to greet me and helped get me addicted to the downs. He often has gamin avys. . . one of them is rememberd with great joy by me. . . what was the name troktor? something like that.

well I dont know what to say. . .he is a ladies man I am sure

Runesky is my nemesis. I wonder if he remembers this. We share a birthday, August 18th, though he is a bit older than I.

He is knowledgable about such things as Norse mythology and what drinks ought not to be mixed.

Always up for a discussion, be it deep or silly, and spectacular as MSN foodfights and/or travel plans.

Hmm...

Feanor is one of the "older" members of BD and not well known to me. Now he (no, she! This Feanor is surely a she and her name is Laura) writes most of her posts into "Roleplaying", but also elsewhere. She has started 12 new threads, most into "Middle-earth Mirth" or "The Books", but also one into "The Movies". One of the threads was WW VI! 2.7 posts per day is a lot of writing...

Her 19th birthday was two days ago! She teaches art. Feanor listens to good and heavy music. And most of all: Laura likes Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

Now this must be a great person!

HerenIstarion · 08-20-2006, 03:00 PM

Volo is with us since 8th of August, and I do hope that he likes it here. He's here for roleplaying and fun, being noticed in the Shire and Mirth subfora, but there is a lot of time to discover other wonderful places this board may boast of, now ain't there?

He's 15 years, or, to be more exact, 15,5 years of age (being born on February 17 of the fine year of 1991 in the fine country of Ukraine)

His real name is Volodimir (or, how I'm used to spell it, Vladimir) which may be translated as 'The one to be the master of the world' I do hope though that his ultimate goal is not taking said world over

As far as I'm any judge, he likes good cuisine (as I assume he dislikes fast food, than he may like its opposite, now may he not?) - since his mail address starts with a statement of dislike towards McDonalds

I would not be surprised to see him wearing info on his blood group on his own sleeve, as one of his favorite bands is Russian band under the name of Kino, 'Blood Group on My Sleeve' being one of (now my favorite) songs by these guys.

I would go further and dare to present to Volo my condolence with regards to break up of Nightwish, as that is also one of his favorite bands. Tarja will be replaced, and show will go on, and it will be a good show no doubt, but alas it will not be the same show anymore...

Else, his musical taste shows his disposition towards heavier genres of rock (and Finnish version of that too, as besides Nightwish there are bands like Norther in his fav list, per instance...)

I also suppose his linguistic skills must be good (though he more or less plans to become an architect), as I assume he must be more or less fluent in at least four - Ukrainian, Finnish, Russian and English (now the good mastery of the latter he has already shown us here). He was born in Ukraine, as I've said earlier, and almost all Ukrainians speak Russian too, now living in Helsinki he must be good at Finnish as well.

I picture him to be lithe fellow, as he's into yoga. I also assume he breaths well and possess skill of correct breathing we mere mortals are lacking in.

What else? - I hope he stays around long enough for me to collect more data and share it with you in case he visits this thread again in the future

Edit: new data found - Volo is also real-life friend of Thinlómien, and I would like to thank her for bringing in her friend to the board

Edit2: Just more new data: Norther is not a fav band, but can boast of several songs that qualify for favourites, and Volo not that just exactly speaks Ukrainian, but understands it. With good cuisine I was spot on - he does like Indian food

HerenIstarion also known as George Lashkhi has been a well respected member of the Barrow Downs for nearly six years. Though he is one of the longest members of the Downs, he is still young at the age of twenty-eight. Like many other Downers, Heren is highly intelligent, particularly in the works of Tolkien and has written several articles on the subject. He speaks several languages (something I could never do) and has a tremendous resume. Heren is also one of the top reputation givers and has always been thoughtful enough to send me a birthday PM (at least during my active years).

Heren enjoys spending time in his country of Georgia reading, swimming, and playing games on his computer. Last year he was married to a lovely lady, and only months ago he became a proud father.
