So here. The complete set. The one true post that will skewer tham all. Or at least, make you you skewer me. And now,
Even if I had the meanness to skewer, I don't have the luxury since I wasn't included in the uh...interesting post of yours.

Anyways I've wanting to do this for some time, and I hope The Saucepan Man isn't offended by it:

The Saucepan Man: likes to listen to Skillet, whose fans are infamously reffered to as 'pan-heads.' One of his favorite theatrical works happens to be Out of the Frying Pan.

Okay, I have to stop before I embarrass myself. Or maybe I already did.... :o

Crombie those are hilarious! :D

Power to the purple people! :p

Also, I love Davem's hat. ;)

Cool creations, Crombie.

And Morai, you had me laughing out loud there with your idea of Saucey! :D

Glirdan 09-08-2005 08:44 PM

Awsome pics Crombie. The one of Wilwa looks remarkabbaly (?) like her!! :D Just kidding!! :eek: I'd like to see what you all (besides Wilwa) think I look like. I don't really have a good imagination for this kind of thing. Besides, I bet people have already said the things that are going through my mind.

Alcarillo 09-08-2005 08:56 PM

These are probably ridiculously contrary to reality.

Glirdan is in his late teens to early twenties, with an olive complexion and dark brown to black hair. He is tall. His head is a perfect oval, and he wears jeans and a t-shirt at home and for work wears a dark grey business suit. He works (possibly as an intern) at a large brown office building where he performs the most menial of the labor. He lives somewhere on the eastern coast of the US, probably around DC or southwards. Glirdan also has many brothers, but few sisters.

Folwren is a girl in her teens, maybe a bit on the younger side. She has long brown hair, slightly wavy, that extends a few inches past the shoulders. She is between five feet and five feet and six inches tall. She plays either a clarinet, flute, or violin, which she plays in a living room with large windows. She is an only child, but sometimes wishes it wasn't so. She likes to read fantasy and other fiction, and is often found outside. She also lives on the eastern coast of the US, but more northwards than Glirdan.

I might post more later.

The Perky Ent 09-08-2005 09:31 PM

Noice. Alas, I'm still taking art classes, and haven't completed my ent yet.
I'll get there eventually, and when I do, i'll have others...

Close Alca, very close!! I guess you can say I'm entering my late teens, in about a year. Me and Wilwa are the same age. You got the hair right and the skin kinda, you'd have to ask Wilwa. The clothing, you're right about, my job, completely off. Paper boy, until I find a part time somewhere's. And if you read the "Where are you from?" thread or my profil (I think), you'll notice that I've stated that I live in Ontario, Canada. As for the siblings, off a lot. I have one sister, that I know of (long story that I'm not getting into). Other than that, good job! ;)

Eomer of the Rohirrim 09-16-2005 02:31 PM

Finally getting round to these people...
 
Bęthberry can best be described as timeless. An ethereal air is about her. She has long golden brown hair – shampoo advert hair – and shiny bright eyes. She wears expensive coats and scarves at all times, because winter goes where she goes. She is never surrounded by other people because they are awestruck by her. Some suppose that she is a white witch, but they are incorrect. Bęthberry is not a white witch.

Firefoot is intense. She has bone-chilling eyes and a gaze which no mortal can hold; if they try, they break down and weep. She has a shock of jet black hair. Children run from her. She can be seen walking here and there, under the stormclouds, in the darkling countryside. Some suppose that she is a witch, and it is unclear whether they are correct or no.

the phantom is not so much a dark spirit, more a picture of power. His eyes are like inescapable magnets, and one moment in your company is all he needs to take your very soul. He is charming, and is mighty fair to look upon: that is his method. His skills of persuasion are on a par with Sauron's. No-one can ever rightly remember what he looked like; he is more force than flesh.

Gurthang is joyous to behold. He is tall and cheery and his shaggy hair perfectly matches his care-free nature. He is loved by all. When he walks down the street, children flock to him. Even animals surround him, eager for some company. He is rather Bombadil-esque in this regard. Some say that he can speak to the birds and the beasts.

He is also rather Beorn-esque in that regard. Some say that he can even take the form of a bear. :eek:

Eomer: :eek: Another thoroughly inaccurate but nevertheless interesting description that I can add to my repertoire. ;)

I'd do one for you but anymore you look like either your pic from the photo page or Snoopy. :D

Blonde boy of Scandinavian Descent?!? :eek:

Feanor of the Peredhil 09-16-2005 04:34 PM

Eomer is Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. I just can't make that image (or voice) go away. Maybe it's because I heard that Karl Urban is high on the list of possible new Bonds?

mormegil 09-16-2005 04:40 PM

I imagined Captain of Despair much like his avatar. Dark and somber. His picture kind of shattered that image. I was going for long dark hair. Not short red hair. The pale skin is on though. I imagined you fairly short, around 5'8" or so with a fairly lean build.

Holbytlass 09-18-2005 07:58 PM

Thanks, Abercrombie, I was beginning to feel perhaps I was vapor in people's minds! :D You are definitely spot on with the ears, I like my ears, they're nice.

Firefoot 09-18-2005 08:37 PM

Perky Ent - He's probably about my height, though I don't see him as such, so in my head he's closer to 5'4"-5'5". He has almost-blonde brown hair that isn't really long or short and is never tidy. He's almost always grinning, and most people think he's a little weird but like him anyway. He's usually at least a little out of it. Though he gets decent grades in school, he doesn't care too much.

When I try to imagine him, he becomes somehow inextricably linked with my brother (they're the same age), not because they're alike, really, but sort of because my picture of Perky came from a now much adjusted image of my brother. I can imagine grinning at Perky and saying, "Weirdo" in the same sort of voice I use with my brother. (Perks - that's not a bad thing. My brother's fun to tease, but I like him all right. :D )

Morai is very pretty, and one of those genuinely nice people.

It sounds right to say Shelob wears a skirt. Even though she seems more of a jeans kind of person.

In fact, most people wear jeans, unless I specifically think otherwise - e.g. Eomer in a kilt, Nilp as a surfer. At least Nilp is starting to look Filipino...

Feanor of the Peredhil 09-18-2005 10:50 PM

Holby is about 5'7" and has a solid (though by no means big) build. She has longish light brown hair that she usually wears braided back out of her [freckled] face. She wears beat up old jeans with spotlessly white button-up shirts and loafers. She sometimes carries a sword.

Aw...*blushes*, I think prettiness in general is pretty subjective (PUN!), so in a sense I'm pretty to somebody out there. As for genuinely nice, I'm working on it.

Well, *flutters lashes like a loser* now that I've seen Gil, I laugh to think that I ever pictured him looking like Michael Palin. Heh... Gotta admit, Gil is quite an attractive sight for sore eyes... Yay! The love of my life just so happens to be (VERRRY) a handsome prince! And I would've settled for nice, caring, intelligent, LotR fan! Good things come to those who wait. My new motto...I guess...

Holbytlass 09-21-2005 07:04 AM

Before seeing the photo page:

Barrow-Wight: wizened older man, very good looking like Sean Connery (as in Hunt for Red October

Eomer of the Rohirrim: in early to mid 30's, dark hair slightly grown out, with light eyes, strong build

Mormegil: girl, early twenties with luxerious long blonde hair and wears pink dresses (because of his avatar with the monkey shooting a gun, wearing a pink dress, but it was a shirt)

TheGuyWhoBeShort and LittleManpoet: were the same person, obviously similarities to the name. They are late 30's early 40's speckled grey, dark hair and laugh lines around the eyes. Tallish, with a bit of paunch to their bellies.

What I still think

Feanor and Shelob: identical twins

Folwren: young, late teens, light brown hair and green eyes. a bit like Pigwidgeon, zooming all around

Anguirel: mid 30's with dark hair and blue eyes, and a very buff body (I'm sorry this is so embarressing to confess) like on the cover of those stupid romance novels. In all fairness to me, this came about when you were the hunter(or was it ranger) in the second WW game. You came across as tall dark handsome and mysterious.

the guy who be short 09-21-2005 01:16 PM

40s? :eek: How did I manage that? :p The "tall" part is also intriguing, to say the least.

You both are rather witty in your humor, so I imagined you wanted to be funny that way, saying you're short when you're really 6' 6". BTW, a little Holby fact: tall people fascinate the heck out of me.

Feanor of the Peredhil 09-21-2005 04:27 PM

Holby is short... maybe 5'4". Which I guess is more average than short, but is still short. She like gardening. She always makes dinner, and there are ALWAYS fresh vegetables.

Don't ask where I'm getting this, it just feels right.

Hee-hee, close, I'm 5'3". I do make dinner 98% of the time (with six of us, even fast food $1 menus get expensive). I like plants but don't garden, so EEHH! on the fresh vegetables, but I do try to get farmer's market stuff.

More Holby thoughts on fellow downers:

Mithalwen:I see her on the tall side, thin with dark shorter hair, quick to laugh but could abruptly turn her steely gaze at you if displeased. Definitely a person who can hold her own!

Firefoot: Her name gives way to a picture of a young gal, thin on the shorter side, but very fast in action and short auburny-red hair that's thick and wavy.

Gil-galad: what can I say? In my mind's eye, I picture him to be about 16, a gangly youth not quite finished growing. He is quite the trouble maker and charmer, he makes me laugh with his antics. Much like Fred and George Weasly from Harry Potter.

Well...er...thanks! All the more remarkable as I was an extremely unsuccessful Ranger; tried to hang the Seer and then got shredded pretty quickly. I think I preferred being a Seer...

Here is a poem I wrote describing myself to an e-friend...

Tis Sloth! O Sloth! Thou bind my hands
And manacle my leaden feet.
And so my vocab must suffice-
I’m tall and dark, a bit effete.


I think I can claim most of the adjectives, but handsome is debatable. Allow me to blush. And I don't have blue eyes, though it would be a guid Scots combination if I did...

Oh, and alas I'm 16...which puts me in a rather more depressing romance genre...

Well, I am dark and somber, at least in personality. But, I am sorry to break the image you had in your head. I would never have long hair, though...ever. Oh, and thanks for the short comment. At least someone thinks so. :D

I would also recommend lynching Durelin, as she sent that particular picture in. ;)

Oh my, I totally missed this before.

I actually have long and fairly dark brown hair. I'm not quite adventurous enough to dye it purple (my friends can't even convince me to put in highlights). ;) I am, however, known for being the calm, collected, and permanently cheerful member of my class.

Anguirel 09-23-2005 01:10 PM

If you say so, Fea! Though I'd rather be the young Al Pacino or Alain Delan...(probably spelt him wrong. Very glamorous Tancredi in Visconti's Il Gattopardo)

Hookbill the Goomba 09-23-2005 01:11 PM

Just thought I'd mention that I now see Feanor of the Peredhil as that Avatar, only as a giant version at a computer! :D

Feanor of the Peredhil 09-23-2005 01:20 PM

Large, green, shelled, and previously exposed to noxious ooze... it certainly would explain a lot, yes?

Fea pointedly ignores her tan cords, white oxford, and black sweater vest.

Yes... ninja. All shall fear me.

Anguirel 09-23-2005 01:57 PM

Formendacil-40s, grizzled beard, pedantic, (as are the best of us)

This is owed-

Holbytlass-stunning vision of ethereal beauty with fountain of light brown hair, soft, forgiving eyes, dressed in white, with a long train held by ninety-eight adoring suitors...ageless, could be in tender youth or well kept peak of beauty...causes strong, faithful married men to burst into hopeless streams of tears...faultless conduct...marvellous singing voice...

Shush, Eomer! You'll ruin my reputation as one of the cunning folk and make me think I can give Linda Evangelista a run for her dye jobs. ;)

The two of us together are immense, Perky, although I have to admit that I do not mount Taniquetil with my laptop. :D But I would be happy to see Esty's patchwork quilts there.

OH MY GOSH!! If your aim was to get me back for making you blush, you have succeeded! Last night at dinner, Mr. Holby did wonder why there was a grin on my face and a pep in my step. Nothing like a compliment to make ones day. I do appreciate the beautious vision you have bestowed upon me, but do you realize I can never now put my picture in the photopage.
