Helkahothion 05-15-2003 03:04 PM

Just if you are wondering, the pictures can be found Here

I always thought that Birland was a guy, but then again, I also thought that from Dragoneyes. It is very hard to see if someone is male or female just by looking at the writing style or name. I almost missjudgd Aman, but could prevent that just in time thanks to Alkoonion.

I thought that Aman, was like 32 years old, because I was judging from her RPG skills.

I thought that BW locked himself in his house all day and never speak to people, but just growl [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. But I came to see that he is a very nice and hansome guy. Gosh, what I think, well, I could fill 60 pages, but that is not possible and I don't have the time, so I will stick to this. Oh and I also thought that Beren looked something like the convetti trowing wizard [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 05-15-2003 03:07 PM

You thought I was a 32 year old guy?! Well, I think there may have been a complement in there but....a 32 year old guy?

Well, when Bethberry once sent me a PM, she referred to Helka as 'she'. That was very confusing, as I think I then made the mistake of calling Helka 'she' on a discussion thread....

No no no. I ment a 32 year old woman. Because you're posts where so highly formed. (I would not dare to insult you)

About that she thing, I never knew that. Well, maybe she got confused because I said I was in love with Orlando Bloom and thought Mr. Kittle was cute. Yeah, I think that might be it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 05-15-2003 03:15 PM

Now I am more than a little scared. Right, you fancy a young male actor and the Barrow-Wight. Hmm. Well, whatever takes your fancy, Im just confused as to why you then asked Aman to the party. Whatever works for you, elf-boy.

The pictures are misleading. They can completely alter what you may have thought of someone- Helka, for example- I had a completely different image of you. For one thing, you were blonde.

Yeah, but I think that was because of my stupid behaviour.

And both ways can work for me Aman, if you would just empty you're PM box, I can finaly contact you again! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 05-15-2003 03:20 PM

Lol.

Done.

Bekah 05-15-2003 04:41 PM

One, I can't see Helka there. Two, Dragoneyes looks not too different from how I imagined her - and three, Aman's picture was a total shock.

I might put my picture on there...d'ya think they can take scanned ones? I have a more easily accessible one, but I am not, I repeat, not going to let people view that pubicly.

Did I mention the shock of Samwise' picture?

~ Elentari II [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-15-2003 04:53 PM

Yes, so many people were so different from how I imagined... eg. I expected for BW to be a bit older, The Squatter to be a bit... squatter, Samwise, a bit different, dragoneyes, a bit older... wow, everyone else I have reasons for too. Wow. Amanaduial- I really like the picture of you that they have there. Helkahothion- wow. Not quite how I imagined you [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Gorothlammothiel 05-15-2003 05:20 PM

With the exception of arelendil (she already knows what I look like and I know is lurking somewhere), would anyone care to have a go at guessing my appearance?

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-15-2003 05:30 PM

I don't know you at all, but somehow I imagine you with black hair and either dark brown or dark grey eyes. Though something tells me that I am totally off [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Bekah 05-15-2003 07:11 PM

Now found Helka's picture. Shock #2.

And I meant that in a nice way, Aman. You're really pretty.

~ Elentari II

Carlas 05-15-2003 08:33 PM

I've seen Helka's pic, not too shabby kid! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Maikafanawan-I know your fifteen, but thats about it! But I imagine you to have red, or dark brown hair(perhaps because of your avatar!) and big green eyes! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] A nice complection (unlike mine [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] ) and I think your pretty tall, but Im just guessing. This is harder than I thought! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Helkahothion 05-16-2003 08:18 AM

Stop it. You are making me blush. And those pictures look like crap anyway. Horrible things. Very old indeed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Manardariel 05-16-2003 09:03 AM

After the first five pics, I decided not to look at them anymore... I rather judge from impression!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Hmm. But all that about Helka´s picture MAY change that resoloution... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Galadrie1 05-16-2003 09:07 AM

Don't worry, Manardariel, he's not really that spectacular. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lossentilien 05-16-2003 10:23 AM

Oh lord. Helka, you look like this horrid boy I knew years ago, but he moved off far far away. You're not Finn in disguise are you??? Nah, you're much nicer. About as crazy, but nicer.

Aman- awww, you're so pretty! And sweet. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 05-16-2003 11:18 AM

There you go, along comes the sweet again...

For a moment I thought you where say Oh lord Helka [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I guess I will have to wait till I take over the world for that title. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The Barrow-Wight 05-16-2003 12:58 PM

This thread has become a chat. Please stop chatting.

Amanaduial the archer 05-16-2003 01:00 PM

Apologies.

Lossentilien 05-16-2003 01:39 PM

Uh-oh. I've started seeing the BW as his avatar..... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Niluial, for some reason I've suddenly started imagining you as being quite young, not sure why, it's not your posts or anything...and in my mind you're blond. But just cause of you avatar. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
And Helka's crazed look is what I would've imagined. Maybe we should refer to you as Lord Helka....but you don't look very regal. No offence. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Helkahothion 05-16-2003 01:43 PM

Little off topic, but what does regal mean?

Lossentilien 05-16-2003 01:52 PM

Regal; of, like a king. Insigna of royalty. Emblems of high office.
It basically mean royal.

Helkahothion 05-16-2003 01:55 PM

Ah ok, for a second I thought you where calling me ugly [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

But let us get back on topic shall we?

Bekah 05-16-2003 02:27 PM

Bekah, I belive you just described yourself, but I'm ignoring your post to tell you what I think first . I see you as a young girl, in your early teens, mabey 13, slightly longer than shoulder length brownish hair with a hint of some other color when the sun hits it just right, your eyes, like my friend Jessicas, change colors(it's a very cool thing to watch) with the different color of clothes you wear, about 5'7" or so. How was that?
Lovely. Much nicer than I really look. If anyone would like to check their guesses against a photo, please PM me with your email address. I need the address so I can send the photo to a particular destination, i.e. whoever wants to see the photo.

I'd have to agree with Lossie about you, though, Helka.

Let's see...I imagined the BW to look like a duck with a glowing green light surrounding it.

Don't ask.

Cheers,

Does that mean I'm terribly wrong?

Helkahothion , I haven't looked at those pictures by the way. I see you as a 17 year old with brown eyes, dark hair, about 5'9", and is always equiped with a deadly evil grin and quiver of jokes.

Iarwain, I see you as a happy man, full of jokes and glee, in his mid-twenties to thirties, rather tall, about 5'11", ruddy brown hair, and grey eyes.(I haven't looked into you that much, forgive me if I am terribly wrong)
Not wrong at all, Argafanawen! I actually tend to be quite melancholy, but you got the height about right, and the hair color, but I have brown eyes.

Iarwain

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-16-2003 05:44 PM

Iarwain- I saw you a bit differently. I don't know why, but I thought you had red-brown hair, hazel eyes, yellow boots ( [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]) and an umbrella (I don't know where that part came from- maybe it goes with the boots or something), and, because when I got here I always got you and The Sacuepan Man mixed up, a large kitchen utensil of some sort. Strange idea I guess [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Iarwain 05-16-2003 05:53 PM

That's wonderful Menelien! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] *Iarwain laughs aloud*

Perhaps someday you'll see me selling giant ladels on a street corner in Lexington. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Menelien, that made me laugh so hard [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I've already guessed you, and Iarwain already gave away his information, but I'll tell you what I originally thought you looked like. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Iarwain- I always thought you were quite young, younger than what Arafangwen thought. Early to mid twenties, I suppose, and I pictured you blond [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]. But even with a somewhat realistic picture now in my head, I can't quite get out the idea of yellow boots [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img].

Yeah! Though you spelled my name wrong [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] . I don't care, much. Isn't it funny how people can be totaly different on the internet?

What about me? Anyone?

Iarwain 05-16-2003 06:33 PM

Hm. You make me think of Fantine, from Les Miserables. Blonde and skinny, very depressed. (I'm just jabbering, so please don't take offence) I suppose you're Avatar makes me think of you such.

LOL! That's great! My avatar is Galadriel, I got it from the BDs home page. Great opinion but I don't look a thing like that! Anyone else?

Iarwain 05-16-2003 07:03 PM

Sorry, Sophia, I missed yours. About the age, I'm quite hesitant to tell, with all of these various comments going around. I like let people think what they please about my age, it tells me a good deal about my own posting quality and the maturity displayed in my responses. I remember a while back when someone said the following:
Quote:

I'm still impressed by both of you, Sacepan-Man and Iarwain. I love what you said-it is very true.I'm glad I can look up to your wisdom and knowledge as a child making her way into a world full of confusion...
I was thrilled that what I had said was appreciated in such a way. However, I will remain (at least for now) Eldest. You can guess, though. It gives me great pleasure. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 05-16-2003 07:25 PM

*sighing* I hate mysteries. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'll just keep my idea of you the age I had it, since the idea of "Eldest" makes me think of the first scenes of Theoden in TTT. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Sophia

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-16-2003 07:31 PM

My guesses of ages are usually completely off, as are my guesses of appearances, but I've always imaagined you to be in you early to mid thirties, maybe even late, Iarwain [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Actually, not that bad - just the height is not very accurate. If you want to see what I really look like, PM me with your email address and I'll mail you a photo.

Arafangwen, I imagine you have hair like Eowyn's, with gorgeous blue-grey eyes. About 5' 7". About 17? Maybe one or two years younger?

elven maiden Earwen 05-16-2003 08:52 PM

GaladrieloftheOlden: I imagine you as a fun, outgoing, coll girl around the age of 15 with pink hair and glasses. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia: For some unknown reson I always picturesd you having red hair, but not bright red, but just a pretty red. I also thought you had blue eyes and were about 20. Inteeligent, and hard-working. Always wearing bright clothes.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Beren87: Matt. Hmmm.... Dirty blonde hair spiked, blue eyes or green, tall around 25, smart, cute....

Aman: Actually amaziling enough you kinda look a little like me!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

piosenniel: Well you have dark black hair, but in certain lights it has a blushies tint. Blue eyes. Small, inocent,pale falwless skin. Weares shades of green, and blue, and white. For some odd reson I kinda always pictured you as a fairy with bueatiful blue and white wings.

Child of the 7th Age: I pictured you to be about 13-14 with long blonde hair and blue eyes. You are tall and smart. You where glasses but you are popular and not considered a nerd( I don't think anyone with glasses is a nerd).

Legolas: I've pictured you as Legolas. What can I say?

Meela: For another odd reson I thought you had fiery red hair and green eyes. You had freckles but not a lot. You are hyper and fun and are about 24-25. You are short, and small. And of course everyone loves you.

Ok. I'm probely way off on every single one. O well. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[ May 16, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

Gorwingel 05-16-2003 09:23 PM

I kind of think of Legolas as Legolas in the movie, but ever since he changed his avatar I kind of think of him looking like that (I think I recall that he made it himself, he modeled it after another persons one)

Beren87 05-16-2003 10:01 PM

Not even close. Except for maybe the end [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. I'm not 25, I am dirty blonde (it's really only blonde in front now thought), but not spiked hair.

Oh, and I have blue eyes.
