How do you imagine other BDers

But it looks a bit funny with your brown hair. Like you were dressing up as Father Christmas.

In my imagination, you also have a beard. But it is brown, or rather, somewhat rusty. Slightly orange-ish, you know.

Surprisingly, wrong. But the colour somewhat corresponds to my hair colour- only add there a little blond and make sure there's just very little orange.

And you wear this horned helmet

Wrong. But if I found a horned helmet somewhere, I think I might like it. I'd prefer a Roman officer's helmet though.

and have a pickaxe sticking from over your shoulder.

I don't own any pickaxes and seldom carry my axes with me in public anyway. But you know, this isn't actually so far from being one of my good ol' rpg characters.

Wearing blue outfit.

Although blue is one of my favourite colours, I don't have any blue clothes.

And you are standing in a railway station hall.

I don't know about other countries, but in Finland railway station is the place where goths and emo kids and such gather. So not for me then, unless I'm waiting for somebody there. I have no clue though why I would be waiting for somebody dressed like that.

P.S. Oh, and I forgot one important thing - you are grinning right now.

That's the most accurate thing.

I guess I'm rather myself. :-D But that made me laugh.

Well, at least the -wen there isn't that misleading as you are a she.

When I play werewolf with Nogrod I always think he looks like Alastor Moody of the Harry Potter films. I really have no idea why. Except that that man looks mad in the way Noggie plays.

Usually I imagine, though, that people look like their avatars. I guess I will never be able to stop thinking of Mith as her previous avatar (only with the distinction that Mith has darker hair and a less round face).
And I have problems not to think Nerwen as Cate Blanchett... But in my image she has dark brown hair and wears often a ponytail or a bun. She's quite tall and thin and has slender hands and wrists.

Macalaure is blonde

Tsk. Whatever else he might be, he would surely be blond....

[Groin Redbeard]

I always imagioned Thinlomien as an short with long brown hair.

I still remember that she was the first one who ever spoke to me on the Downs. *sighs romantically*

Now that's evil but not too far from the truth... Ok, now I'm the one being evil. I wasn't serious, of course.

But your imagination is very correct, for I am relatively short (something like 163cm, which should correspond to about 5'4'' or a bit more) and my hair is long and brown.

As to how you look, I can't help thinking you look like your avvie also in RL, even though I know that people of your age seldom have long beards... Also, being a dwarf, you must be (even) shorter than me.

Well as we know each other from RL as well I'm not sure whether to think of that as a compliment ("he's that weird when he plays") or as something else ("he looks like that actually").

But coming back to the general discussion: sure the avatars seem to guide one's perception of others pretty strongly.

And they seem to sneak to one's choice of them as well. Before this one (taken after the COH was published) I had as an avvie a picture of youg Dimitri Shostakovich. I kind of thought it was the right one for me until I only later gathered that he looks just like my grandfather as a young man in that picture...

I am here to correct a mistake. . . What Fea meant to say was "Macalaure is Bond" and surely we can all agree upon that!

I guess you look like him about as much as I look like Sean Bean or Kurt Cobain. That is, there may be something similar but very very little.
It's more the way you play, so don't worry.

My mother thought I looked like that painting but my hair was never quite so red, was darker now lighter ..... I wanted to change back but I have technical difficulties again (avatar not hair - though...). However, I think my wolf is quite me...

And I think of Nerwen as Cate too...

As a child, I used to be blonde and was made to wear glasses. I only wear jeans, most of them being blue, and only brute force can make me wear button up shirts. And as Rikae said, I do own sneakers, but I don't use them often enough *needs to do more sports*

Now, does that make me a blonde Bond? But I passionately dislike Daniel Craig!

I don't know if we can be friends any more...

If we have a Bond on this website, it would probably be Son of Numenor, who I've always imagined as a Pierce Brosnan surfer type...

sean bean? who looks like sean bean? sorry couldn't resist that.


i've only been on two games here so far and thus haven't really gotten a good mental picture of anyone. cept for fea. lol one of my friends at work has that for a nickname so everytime fea would post i'd get a picture in my head of my little supervisor friend. little tiny adorable girl. then fea turned out to be a wolf in that game.

[Gwathagor]

What about me? I'm curious.

You have short brown hair and often wear dark grey clothes. You don't smile often, but when you do, it brightens your face and you look completely different.

Hmm... you are around 6'0ft tall, you are very thin, you don't wear glasses, you have brown hair down to your shoulders, and smash things.

My friends use to say I look a little like Sean Bean sometimes. Actually, they have made a 25 step list of whom I resemble.

Have you had a person with a horned helmet in your avatar once? Because I imagine you wear a horned helmet.

Believe it or not, Aganzir I actually do look like that, except I have short hair.

Odd, You know, this might have something to do with the Agan's game, but aside from imagining you look like Cate Blanchett, I imagine that you have a big mouth with big white teeth. I mean, the sort of big mouth that does not normally look very big but when you grin or laugh (or eat ) or sing or something it suddenly looks huge.

Well, actually, I do have rather big white teeth...

Just to clarify that last post: I don't mean I look like Cate Blanchett, I mean I'm tall and skinny and have very thin hands and wrists.
