Encaitare, Eomer, and Assasin
 
Encaitare: I imagine you like your avator.
Eomer: I think you have dark longish hair (like a bit past the ears) and blue eyes you'd be about 6'0 :p
Assasin: Long dark hair, blue eyes and a rounded nose like a ball, with full lips, you'd be about 5'9/5'10 and freckles. You like wearing LotRish clothes
hope I'm right!

Random Titles: DO NOT MIX WITH CHEMICALS!
 
ElementFire : As usual, this guess is derived from your name. You happen to be a mad scientist, who usually arrives from the lab with your face charred black and your hair sticking in all directions. You are bent on inventing the cure to...something, and you insist every
time you try to explain it, that you are NOT insane-but no one believes you. Either that, or you are a small green flame (kinda like those seen in ROTK) that will explode if the temperature is to far from stable.

You know what? Every time I type up a guess, I feel like some kind of phony psycic who uses a battery-powered crystal ball, or maybe of of the suitors from Merchant of Venice. (It's like trying to guess which one of the chest holds Portia's potrait.) In no way am I implying that I am male or that I'm romantically interested in any BDer :eek:

I don't like cars much either. Or buses. Or motorcycles. I like to walk.

Ah, ofcourse, motorcycles. I'm really not into them either, but my brother is obsessed with his. :p

Eomer on a motorcycle. No, I really don't see him as being that type. LOL :D

Yay! Me too.

Well, my avatar tends to change a lot... but now I guess you imagine me as an alien, cleverly disguised as an Englishman, who wears argyle sweaters with pinstriped jackets, and has eyes that don't blink nearly enough.

Close, close.... ;) :p

TPotSS 02-28-2005 12:42 AM

Since I'm new, I pretty much imagine everyone looking like their avatar.

And you can imagine me that way, too. I'd love for everyone to think of me as Captain Picard! :)

ElementFire 02-28-2005 04:41 AM

Morai: sorry, my hair and face aren't charred *shudders* that would be most unpleasant though.
TPotSS: I hope you don't imagine me as my avatar, Will's cute, but I would prefer staying my current gender. ;)
Encaitare: Well, I don't exactly picture you as Ford, (but that would be cool if he was here!) :p I don't really picture a BDer carrying a towel everywhere on a regular basis.

dancing spawn of ungoliant 02-28-2005 05:13 AM

ElementFire is a feisty little package of teen trends and her own style. She's approx. 5'4" tall brunette and she has long fingers. Her hair reaches down to her shoulder blades. She seldom wears skirts but otherwise she is quite girlish. :)

Boromir88 02-28-2005 05:25 AM

Quote:

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.
Lal, I know this was a while ago, but I recently found myself revisiting this thread. I tell you, you were practically dead on until you got to the talismans and the company car, but I guess that was just a way to spice things up... :p Yes, cleanshaven, brown hair (not necessarily messy all the time), and I do have to dress up for work if that's what you refer to as smart things ;) . And oh boy...do I hate ironing :rolleyes: .

P.S. I must say, some strange conversations we'ved had on this thread as well.

I would have sworn you would have had a company car! I suppose that's a misconception from a Brit, that most people in the US get things like nice shiny cars from their company. ;) OK, I bet you drive a station wagon then, what we might call an 'estate car'. And it is messy inside, especially around the passenger foot well. I can 'see' lots of screwed up parking tickets, maybe the odd drinks carton and some company literature left there that you don't feel like moving because you;re in such a rush to get back home again. :)

How do you imagine the Inktomi Slurp Spider?

LOL, if that wasn't the post of the week! :D
I imagine him like a very uptight bureaucrat in a business suit who is very by the book and does not show any emotion. He's got a long face and very elongated fingers and toes. He has elegant glasses of a colour that matches his suit.

*stops when realizing she's getting delirious* :p

Feanor of the Peredhil 02-28-2005 11:40 AM

Inktomi is a smart and witty young woman, with what some have referred to as a bad sense of humor. She has either remarkably long hair, or a short, face-framing choppy one. She is a well-known member of the forum who has recently decided that there is nothing wrong with a wee bit of well-placed mischief.

Or she is really a he, and is incredibly brilliant, smart-alecky, and charming. He is also a well-known member, and spends much of his time grinning into his computer screen, desiring to let someone in on his secret, but knowing that doing so is probably not the brightest idea.

Fea

dancing spawn of ungoliant 02-28-2005 12:13 PM

Inktomi Slurp Spider is of course an eight-legged dashing bloke who is constantly pondering over new patterns for his webs. Ah, we could have woven webs together, he and I. But alas, I haven't seen him for a while. Maybe he's more of an indoor character and has made a lair into his namesake thread.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 02-28-2005 01:43 PM

Inktomi Slurp Spider is a devilishly handsome young man. Tall and thin with mesmerising blue eyes, longish dark hair and inviting smile. He has a vivid imagination and an outlandish conception of life, the universe and everything.

He does get slightly embarrassed when something he posts upsets the mods. :rolleyes:

However, he also likes to point out when other people's guesses were way off.

Just a guess...

wilwarin538 02-28-2005 03:28 PM

PiNk PaNdAs!!!
 
Here is how I imagine a few of you. Now I didn't pay any attention to any of the guesses other people made, so I am definetly way off. This is what I think you guys look like. (very sorry if I am mistaken about any of your genders)

Nimmy is fairly small, she is a natural blonde and wears glassses with clear frames.

Evisse has blue eyes, blue hair and blue clothes. (hehe)

Eomer has short dark hair, bright green eyes and he is about 6'1.5".

Fea has medium brown hair, brown eyes, green clothes and she is about 5'6.28".

Enca has long dark hair, dark eyes and is probably about 5'8.25".

Boro88 has messy blonde/brown hair, bright blue eyes and is about 5'10".

Well, Wilwa... my hair *would* be medium brown, had I not such a strong liking for vibrantlly colored hair dye. My eyes *would* be brown save the green and honey colored speckles, I look awful in green (although it's my favorite color), and although the height is very precise, it is precisely 2.6 inches too tall. Nice try though.

Fea

Boromir88 02-28-2005 05:06 PM

Sometimes I will get messy hair. I like cutting it short, so I don't got to do anything with it, just wake up, shower, and blam no combing. But, when it gets about time to cut again, it is shaggy/harry potterish definately. :p

mark12_30 02-28-2005 06:07 PM

B88, you just shattered my image of you.

"His locks wre shorn about his shoulders..."

I suppose next you'll tell me you don't wear a silver collar or carry an ox-horn???

No offense, Sugar. Yes, I am female. I am rather short, enjoy the Downs, and have long hair. :D

Gil-Galad is... 6'? He has blue eyes, brown hair, and is a bit too hyperactive in school. *hides under computer desk*

Nim :)

Man, I swear that we are either:
~identical twins seperated at birth
~one of us is a clone and doesn't know it
~somehow, one of us (probably me, cause I'm too strange) is actually an identical "self" that came from an alternate dimension

The only differences I've noticed so far is:
~Height, one of us is taller (I won't say who.)
~I think I look "okay" in green, except I look like one of Santa's Elves on vacation from the North Pole because of my hair color.

Hint Hint :D ;)

Nope, think more Nordic.... but the height is quite accurate.

Haha, mark12_30, actually when I was in Tahoe during the summer I did find a horn very similar to Boromir's. I was at this indian/cowboy western store. It is this white ivory, with a bronze trim, all I could think about was "my horn :drool:" and I couldn't pass up the oppurtunity of getting it. ;)

Girl. I'd imagine you as having long blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. (No offense if you're a dude) :) And you'd be about 5'2 or so.

OK. Now tell me you wear a silver choker with a single white stone in it and all is forgiven.

AbercrombieOfRohan 03-01-2005 06:41 PM

please don't hurt me!...
 
shelob , a bit like the infamous inktomi slurp spider but illuminated by the iridescent green light that emits from your computer. You also enjoy eating odd food combinations, like peanuts and chocolate milkshakes. You're very thin and waif-like. You don't walk so much as scuttle and you have a weird obsession with penguins.

Nilpaurion Felagund , you wear an 18th century noble's garb on a daily basis and have a british accent. (Despite the fact that you're not British.) You like rabbits, especially those from Mirkwood. You will only eat caviar and live in a palace.

wilwarin538 , another Mirkwoodian rabbit lover. You look like a butterfly and spend most of your time in gardens, smelling flowers. You flit around and don't take things too seriously. You love sweets and only drink purified nectar. You spend most of your time in the twilight reading Wuthering Heights and LotR.

I have no idea why...

I dare not make guesses on other downers, I would be too embarassed if I was wrong. Considering I would be the one mixing up the simple stuff if one is a lad or lass. :eek:

Son of Númenor 03-01-2005 09:55 PM

Before I start: please forgive me
 
mark 12:30

Short and stout, Mark can often be spotted in Trafalgar Square, at the Colisseum and at Notre Dame with a fanny pack, a ridiculously outdated Agfa Pioneer box camera, and a blob of white sun-screen spread incongruously on her nose. At first glance she may look like your average annoying American tourist, but a closer look reveals details to the contrary: a pair of expensive French glasses rest atop her neat, salon-styled hair, and in her fanny pack, where a normal tourist would carry a cheap traveler's guide, she keeps only a Bible (I couldn't resist) and a few scribbled notes from her last European adventure. She speaks with the slightest southern twang, and she has an infectious, if somewhat cacophonous, laugh.

the phantom 03-01-2005 10:11 PM

Here's how I imagine some of my fellow members...

Boromir88- I see a bearded 40-year old drinking beer in an old, worn out tan chair and dividing his attention between his computer and the football game on tv.

Estelyn- Despite the recent avatar switch, I still imagine her as the Shrek princess.

Kuruharan- He's Gimli, smack out of the movie.

Eomer- I picture him as Karl Urban with a kilt.

Mister Underhill- I try to get an image of him, but he's always wearing a trench coat and a hat with the brim pulled down over his eyes.

The Barrow-Wight- I imagine him as a Nazgul with a slight greenish glow. His presense can be terrifying, which makes it all the funnier when he pulls from beneath his cloak, not a Morgul knife, but a humorous comment.

Child of the Seventh Age and Bethberry- For some inexplicable reason, I see them as the same person- this lady that used to work with me at Kohl's department store.

That's all for now.

Thinlómien 03-02-2005 07:48 AM

Mithalwen
Short. Long, ash-blonde hair and small but piercing grey eyes.
Boromir88
Drinking beer (as the phantom said) :D
The Saucepan Man
Like his former avatar.

First I have to decide whether to laugh or not. (Cacophonously, I'll give you that.)

Umm...well, not quite. No blonde hair nor blue eyes (except very seldom ). And as to the height, even though I'm not a giant, I'm a bit taller that 5'2. :cool: Nice try, though!

Thinlómien doesn't look like her avatar (hopefully...a raccoon invasion would be a scary thought). She wears boots made of reindeer skin and a skirt (assuming that she's a girl, no offense). Her short hair is dyed dark and she wears eyeliner. She has a few freckles around her nose. She's about 160cm tall.

Feanor of the Peredhil 03-02-2005 09:39 AM

Thinlómien... girl? Aww crud. There goes the fond image of a 20-something year old guy with tawny brown hair, wire-rimmed specs, button-up shirts (but no tie), and a slight Southern lilt.
