Nilpaurion Felagund: Nil has black, longish hair, prefers not to wear shoes around the house unless he has to, & is techinically 'supposed' to wear glasses--but never wears them. He is around six feet tall, loves pizza (who doesn't?), thinks all the secret easter eggs on the LotR discs are hilarious, & is part of the exclusive Top Five Reppers Club (or was, I doubt he's dropped any). In fact, it is my opinion that he as an extra button on his mouse that will randomly give out reps when he clicks it.

I've always seen Morai as having brown hair. Now I guess I have to change my mental image. I thought he had straight brown hair a la Beatles and brown eyes. I see him sitting in front of a computer, the fires of Oredor (yess,Oredor!) reflecting in the screen. Oddly enough, I can picture him writing from the lava-encrusted caves of Mt. St. Doom. *looks around* And... nobody else knows what I'm talking about. That's ok. We know, don't we Morai?

I've pictured Heren-Istarion as a blonde, for some reason.

Well, due to his avatar..I have only ever imagined HI as himself... I do find it hard to separate my imaginings of people from their avatars. Although Fordim hasn't quite turned into a pug and I think SpM's current line drawing avatar is probably a bit closer to the mark than the "Desert Island Pans" version.

I like to keep them around to eat the flies and mosquitoes, which I have no love for at all! We also catch brown recluses and let them go far from the house (it's a sort of karma thing...we don't kill them, maybe they won't bite us! *knock wood*).
Oh yes, the felines do enjoy tormenting spiders, I think they must taste better, maybe a little more 'gamey' if they have first been terrified by the sight of huge swinging paws coming at them. There are a few non-8-legged arachnids about the house, as they seem to like knocking their legs off one by one...

I like spiders though, so if I catch them at it they do get told off. Luckily you don't get black widows in this country (apart from in your bananas now and then...) but I had some nice Orb Weavers in my front garden recently.

Morai, how long have you dyed your hair? It couldn't be for the same reason I dye mine! Now I see you as looking like Carrie Fisher! Except with pink hair, for some reason...now THAT's an oddity
Let's see...*counts on fingers and toes* I first started when I was...I think its been about 4 years, though at first I only but blonde streaks in it. This year I tired of the look and went for a different color.... Pink hair? I do have Pink hairspray, haven't used it yet, still looking for a good excuse. May I ask who Carrie Fisher is? Strange, my eyes get browner in the sunlight (usually people can't tell for I have to wear sunglasses alot DARN SUN! MAKE IT GO AWAY!)

*Stares blankly at the screen in shock.* I guess I should have seen that coming the day I chose a gender neutral name. I am a girl , at least I was the last time I checked. Don't worry Maeg , I forgive you. *Looks at computer screen carefully* I think I do see flames. It's getting kinda toasty in here, guess I shouldn't have added so many plastic and brass rings to the fire. Oh well...

If it makes you guys feel any better, my Oredor uh..."Riding License" makes my hair look brown, and my skin pretty pale.

Boots SamwiseGamgee

In short, he is a pirate. Without actually stealing ships and rampaging through the high seas, but this is his appearance. He is tall, probably about 6'7. He has majestic flowing black hair, and a rugged build due to years of hard labour. He wears a huge dark blue cape and carries a large bottle of rum at most times. He has two gold teeth, carries blades to get him through his vast plethora of enemies, and has what can only be described as a truly dazzling smile. He also fixes the hair of Wargs into his own hair as a tribute to his heroes.

I keep forgetting that many years have passed, and I can no longer drop the name and think everyone will recognize it. She is better known as Princess Leia from the original Star Wars trilogy. Now that should be an icon most everyone remembers! *prays she is not showing her age too much now!*

If Star Wars makes you old, Lyta, then I'm ancient!! Well, sort of. Unfortunately, however, I was not alive (yet) when it first came out... But I still say it doesn't make you old!!

Some M-E-inspired impressions (Warning: do not take seriously):

Fordim Hedgethistle is an erudite (but rather mad) Baggins. He likes cooking, but not to the same extent as some other Hobbits. Likes gardening. Has trouble deciding whether Longbottom Leaf or Old Toby is better for his constitution.

The Ka is a rather strange pale Hobbit lass who likes to spend a lot of time indoors. Thinks it was very nasty of Mr. Bilbo to kill those poor spiders in Mirkwood. Tends to refer to the Valar as "The Gods".

Elrond's Daughter is a noble and courteous elf-maiden of the folk of Imladris. Singing is one of her special joys.

Saucepan Man is Samwise Gamgee or one of his relatives (he likes walloping people with pans).

Oh that Carrie Fisher! *Looks at reflection in the computer screen closely* I guess I kinda do look like her. Minus the flowing robes and interesting hairdos. Don't fret, I know plenty of younger people wholove the Star Wars Trilogy. Me thinks I need to watch it sometime. (For I have only seen the newer ones.)

Ironically, the only person I don't see as their avatar is the Barrow Wight. I see him as a rather short, broad man with wild hair and beard. Almost a Tom Bombadil without the costume...I know I'm wrong, but the image lingers.

Oh, and Nilp. I can't help but see him as the little pixellated blonde boy that was his avatar so long ago. "Chip", wasn't it?

Boots Random Title#34

Here's another attempt:
Assasin: Because of the name, this might be a bit strange and a larger bit off. You have longish hair, I'd say dark, and you have copper/hazel eyes. Between those eyes is a straight slightly pointed nose. You love wearing long black trenchcoats and boots.

Lalwendė is battling Black Riders on Weathertop.Lalwendė is battling Black Riders on Weathertop.
Time to have another proper 'go' at this, methinks...so:

Boromir88 - he has messy brown hair and is clean shaven. He wears smart things for work, but at weekends is to be found wearing t-shirt and jeans, often crumpled because he hates ironing. He carries little 'talismans' around with him, such as things he has found and stuffed in his pocket, and has stuff hanging from the rear view mirror in his car, which is a company car, so this is his way of personalising it.

Fordim - tries to keep to the expected dress code of an academic, wearing lots of brown, for example, brown cords, beige jackets, and stone shirts, but he does have a tendency to wear pairs of 'humorous socks' which he is given for Christmas - he figures they are just socks, and who cares what they look like? His work colleagues are often intrigued as to whether he will have "those Rudolph socks on again".

Saucepan Man - I am imagining his desk. He has his own office, which is small, old fashioned and dark, but his desk is modern and has an extension table onto which he piles lots of 'filing' which never gets done, though he knows where everything is. He has pictures everywhere, and empty coffee mugs, and he has to frantically cram these into the drawers when he sees a client. He had a plant but it died.

Eomer of the Rohirrim - he lives in a student house so it is a central concept to him that he must never ever do the washing up until strictly necessary, but luckily his clothes are clean because he takes them home every fortnight to be washed. He is quite slim despite existing on a diet of crisps, beer and pizza; he gets his vitamins in the holidays with those home cooked meals. He always wears nice shoes.

Morai, sorry, nope. I have blonde hair and really dark blue eyes. They look black sometimes. I do like wearing black. It's one of my favorite colors. And I LOVE my black boots. I can't say if my nose is pointed, though.
I imagine E_D having fairly long layered brown hair and blue eyes. Likes to wear green and brown?
The Ka: Short dark hair. (Not too short though.) Dark piercing eyes. And a long nose and thin lips.
Neurion: Blonde hair, green eyes. Wears polos. Glasses? A kind of square nose.

You're mimsy, all of you!

Well...I'm blonde...

It wouldn't be a surprise to me if Oddwen was Alice... Always so inventive!
Somewhat inventive, yes. But I'm less flighty than that Alice, I'd hope.

White Tree Too long, too long, I say.

Thread needs a swift kick.

Nilp is skinnier than one would think strictly necessary, kind of one of those long, tall, types. He has dark hair, rather out of control at the moment. Dark eyes and dark complected too, and rather accustomed to drawing odd looks for his habit of talking to people that aren't there.

Fea is also dark haired, of average height, and quite indoorsy looking (meaning neither tanned nor particularly sporty). I see her with blue eyes, easily amused, and chews on her lower lip while trying to decipher whatever puzzle she's after this time.

Eomer if I've learned one thing on this thread, it's that he's not blonde. Still can't visualize him dark haired, though, it's migrated to sort of a medium brown. He's also got dark eyes and not much rhythm, despite being quite interested in music. He wears (?) jeans and those casual button-down shirts with something that doesn't quite match underneath, and sometimes looks like he missed a day shaving.

HI is well groomed and suave looking. Not nearly as cuddly as the pugs that KA associates with him... more of a sophisticated look that conceals his humor, at least when you first meet him. He dresses in dark colors, tends to have a cigarette in his hand, and keeps his hair neat.

Lalwende, although obviously female, must look something like her avatar; therefore she's a relative of Bilbo's (a 110xgreat grandniece?) and has similar hobbity hair, a bit longer, and a Bilbo-like chuckle. She unfortunately has inherited his feet (my sympathies ) and likes to dress in tweeds and shades of green.

Well then, that about does it for me tonight.

Sophia

Sophia, does your computer monitor act as a camera? Very few people know the lip thing. The only thing you missed is eye-color.

Shaving? Oh dear... people on the Barrowdowns have... facial hair? Never! The only ones on here with any facial hair is Mister Underhill, who has a closely-groomed dark brown beard. However, since his face is nearly always hidden behind a book or newspaper (or in some instances, a cup of coffee), very few people know what he really looks like.

Fea

Fairly decent descriptions by Lal and Soph. Well, apart from the nice shoes comment. The 'slim-despite-bad-diet' idea is remarkably apt. I'll give you another clue to go on. Imagine Johnny Razorlight (you know that band, right?) on a difficult morning following a rough night. That's me.

Sophia might stop talking to me after this but I have to admit that she strikes me as pretty....um...how shall I put this....sultry? Sleazy? A really cool, unshakeably hip thing.

Nilpaurion Felagund strikes me as dazed and confused, and always smiling. What's more, wherever he walks, the Sun always shines. A handy guy to be friends with. And yea, really thin too. Possibly even rivalling me for thinness.

lol, I suspect they must, considering the number of dwarves we have running around here. And in Eomer's case I was thinking of the nice sleepy stubble-y look that some people can't seem to avoid.

I've been told this before, actually, though I'm not sure how I do it. Where did I leave my angelic face? I need it before I admit that the description doesn't bother me at all...

Fea- I actually do the lip chewing thing myself... so I tend to think of other people doing it too.

Blond hair, check. Blue eyes. Glasses, check (usually wear contacts). I'm not exactly sure what a square nose would look like. I used to wear virtually nothing but polo shirts a few years back but I can't stand them now.
