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!

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.

Kath · 08-25-2006, 01:11 PM

Brinniel is a new member to me, but she has been on the site a lot longer than I have. She joined the site in 2002 and recently celebrated her 4th deathday. She is 18 years old and has started 11 threads over the years, some of which did better than others.

Brinniel takes part in every aspect of the forum. She posts all over the place and, from what I've seen in Crazy Captions and Fortunately/Unfortunately, has a great sense of humour. But I think I'm right in saying that her true place on here is in the RPG forums. She's been in at least three (I didn't go too far back), and from the posts I just went and looked at she's an excellent writer.

She returned to the Downs in February after a long absence which I believe was to do with school, just in time for both deathday and birthday. And, on a personal note, I love her PT!

Anyway, let's hope she doesn't have to disappear off again.

I know that I haven't given enough other in between my last but let's get this going again.

Kath, or Katherine if you prefer, is a delightful member of the downs and has been such since January 3rd, 2004 although there are times, mainly werewolf games, where she can simply be ghastly. Kath is 18 and will be 19 coming up on February 16. She is currently attending the University or so I believe. It is reported that she resides in Faversham, Kent, England.

Kath is most frequently seen in The Shire and Mirth threads but often frequents Quotes, specifically Palantir of Fortune, too. Kath has been a consistent poster of 2.81 posts per day average over her membership here. She is, in my opinion, most famous for her many games of werewolf played. Perhaps she is best known for her role as ranger. She also is a crafty wolf and coincidentally she and I have a rather warm and friendly rivalry in werewolf. She has proven her intellect and shrewd judgment many times over in the werewolf arena. From what I have seen of her writing she appears very well versed and well written and has always shown a maturity above her years.

Kath suffers from asthma and still leads a very active life including cheerleading and Tai Jitsu competitively and remarkably it's been over seven month since she had her last puff of ventolin; on a side note Kath I'm glad to see that my little intervention with you 8 months ago has worked

. Also of note she was on a nebuliser about one year ago! Well done Kath.

Her favorite TV should be obvious to even the most dimwitted individual who is well versed in X-files as it is X-files remarkably. Prominently displayed on her avatar is Scully who is her favorite character along with Mulder. Her biggest draw to X-files and Scully is the wonderful character interaction between Mulder and Scully, I have to agree that it was great interaction. The true believer partnered with the skeptic, a very good show.

She's not overly picky on food but has a strong love for potato pie and winberry pie. Just don't give her any nuts as she has an allergy to them.

On a personal note Kath was one of the first downers that I considered a friend and really made me feel welcome here. Thanks for all you do Kath! You are great!

Thinlómien · 04-27-2007, 03:35 AM

Mormegil is a 29-year old guy from Utah. He is a doctor. Morm is married and has two very cute children. Mormegil is a christian. He is a supporter of right-wing politics and could be described as a conservative. He has lived in Brazil and therefore his second favourite team in the Football World championships was Brazil. Morm can also speak Portuguese.

In the Barrow-Downs Morm is a respected and active member, (although he has been relatively silent of late. Where has he been?) Morm's work and participation were noted some time ago when he was well-earnedly made a mod for the Middle-Earth Mirth forum.
Mormegil can be a terrible opponent.

(Ask anyone who has played werewolf or survivor with him.) In werewolf he is quite scary, a reaction-provoking (even aggressive at times) and very intelligent player. In survivor he stands behind his beliefs and supports them to the end and always gives grounds to his opinions. In a battle of wills in survivor, Mormegil usually wins.

It seems the only one who can defeat Mormegil anywhere is Alien.

Lommy is getting excited about the Saturday after next, despite herself.

She has an impressive grasp of Hair lyrics and she is sorry for recently turning a close cyber-relative into a mouse.

Ps this has nothing to do with me or my avatar....
