Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-22-2004 07:22 AM

Enigma I am. I even supply you with clues yet you cannot see me! :D

Estel has short dark brown hair and wears t-shirts and shorts. He is often seen with a bottle of water in hand. He whistles almost constantly.

ninlaith 07-22-2004 07:28 AM

Well judging from the wrong point of view.....you probably have lite hair and lite eyes. :p . Or lite hair dark eyes

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-22-2004 07:35 AM

All right, Eomer, my quest for the day is to pin down a somewhat accurate image of you. And since you've pretty much given yourself away over the past few pages, all I have to do is make a list of what you are NOT, and from it, logically conclude what you must be. Wow... this is going to be... longer than I expected. But I'll do it or die trying. Or die because I'm hungry... one or the other. But in order not to die, I'm gonna go eat breakfast and THEN pin your image. But I still say lunatic. :D

symestreem 07-22-2004 08:09 AM

This is what I gleaned, Feanor:

He's admitted to having brown hair, blue eyes, being 6', wearing worn jeans and band t-shirts, and sometimes being found in pubs. And 20 is a given.

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-22-2004 08:28 AM

Good grief, symestreem, I should have ignored the work and left it all to you. Finally, though, we can have an altogether accurate (unless he's been lying all along) description of our good buddy Eomer.

Eomer of the Rohirrim: You are 20 years old, as found in your profile. You are tall (6'0") and well-built. All your time training badgers has assuredly payed off, in the fact that your muscles fill out your perfectly broken in jeans and t-shirts particularly well. You are a fierce debator, and delight in being somewhat of a mystery. You try to keep your thoughts secret, but if someone's memory and observatoin skills are good enough, they can find out nearly anything. Your blue eyes show a great sense of humor, gleaming when you've got a joke or a sarcastic comment in store. You are a frequent guest at the local asylum, as well as the local tavern. Drinking age is different than in the U.S., eh?

Fea

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-22-2004 10:43 AM

Finally we can end this charade....
 
Ok, ok, you've all done very well and I think its time to give up the game. symestreem's work was very clever and Fea's hefty description is damn close! :D

One point of contention. Muscles? Bah! I look like a typical skinny indie bloke who smokes way too much cigarettes (although I've never even touched one). :rolleyes: Alas! I am always going to be more slender Elf than King of Rohan.

Drinking age is 18 here in the UK. Though too many young idiots take advantage of that and cause drunken mayhem. There's always pros and cons isn't there?!

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-22-2004 11:38 AM

Well, since I've got the rest accurate, I can be forgiven for the muscle mistake. But training badgers IS hard work. ;) The description of you actually matches a friend of mine very well, only your hair is no doubt lighter, and I'm quite sure you don't have the piercings he's got. Other than that, eyes, build, sense of humor, match up quite nicely.

We've got plenty of young idiots who cause their own mischief, and they don't bother taking advantage of drinking laws. They just ignore them. I see nothing wrong with the occasional drink (although I won't do it), but when it leads to binges and partying... :mad: .

As for me... I shouldn't have created my avatar... it was much more fun before people got a good idea of what I look like.

Actually, my hair is not overly short or brown, I avoid wearing t-shirts as much as possible during the summer or while playing basketball, I almost never carry a bottle of water & I've never even stopped to learn how to whistle. In short, Eomer, you are wrong. :p

I like your avatar, Fea. and (from one girl to another; and i'm not gay... don't worry) you're actually quite good-looking. :) but it is fun to try to figure out what everyone looks like. but i'll let other people do the guessing.

cheers!

Elrond's (other) daughter

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-22-2004 05:02 PM

Fea, my hair is only light when the Sun is shining on it. In those situations it looks rather fetching! :D Its quite longish, I despise short hair.

Estel, you have a bushy brown moustache (despite your tender age), wellington boots, have one ear missing due to a fight with an iguana, shiny white teeth and piercing eyes. You also have the ability to hypnotise people. Sometimes you do this solely to steal their wallets.

Getting closer?

:D Thank you, Elrond's (other) Daughter... I'm touched, and no fears, I don't think you're weird or anything. I actually spend half of my spare time trying to convince my friends how gorgeous they are. "No, you are NOT fat." "Your nose is NOT too big." "Shut up you, I'm dead jealous of your curves." One of the many reasons I spend most of my time in the company of guys. They worry about important things... like who's gonna get the last slice of pizza! ;) Or if they DO worry about how they look, they keep quiet about it.

Durelin: You are somewhat short, maybe 5'3"? With black hair that falls just below your shoulders. It is straight, but occasionally sticks out in weird places. Your eyes are bright green, and... what the? I just got a female Harry Potter image in my head. Wow... I guess I need to lay off the long bike rides and get some real sleep. Anyhow, you love art and music, and detest doing homework, unless you actually think it will help you with your learning. You are into snowboarding, perhaps. At least, that's how my over-extended imagination makes you out to be.

So, Nirvana, you are exceptionally tall 22-year-old, somewhat of a grunge rocker, you've got at least partially black hair, although it is not long. Maybe short and spiky? Or of medium length. You have a large amount of piercings and tattoos, and don't like to fit into the typical mold.

Better?

My friend is always complaining that her nose is too small...I finally got so annoyed I offered to pull on it every day until it was big enough for her. (yes, I stole the idea from Circle of Magic...So what?)

Well, I don't think I need to say much about this one :p. I will say I have no moustache, though. Other than that, I'm just going to have to hypnotize a bunch of people into forgetting my secret that you just blabbed, bub. ;)

p.s. so, eomer, your hair is long? if it's straight, it must be nearly to your shoulders, if it's more curlyish-than it must just be...long :confused:.

ninlaith 07-23-2004 11:16 PM

Hey Estel I don't think your hypnotisim works too well I still remember your secret. ;) :p . But anyway it seems like you like videogames so you're either a little pudgy for the fact that some gamers like to munch with no inhabitions while playing or you could be sort of skinny from your being so enthraled by gaming that you don't give yourself time to eat or instead of gaming it could be all that movie watching. :D If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

Morsul the Dark 07-23-2004 11:34 PM

Well personally there is only two people I can really imagine Saucepanman is one

I believe him look a bit hobbish always smokin a pipe and yet he has a strong stature a most admirable hobbit-like person

and Bombadil- A teenager tall black hair glasses but again do not be fooled he is mighty in confidence

perhaps i only imagine these two because their knowledge is more extensive then mine will ever be and i admire them for that

looks into crystal ball evceryone else is blurry

Lhunardawen: I'm not doing so well in this thread but here goes. Your avatar is Eowyn so I think you might be blonde, 5'6, with green eyes. I don't know it's just a guess. Like I said I'm not doing so well in this one.

YES!!! Another Tam Pierce fan! I just finished (like... 20 minutes ago) Squire... again! Lady Knight comes next and then Trickster's Choice. And then I get to rereading Sandry's Book. My unfortunate (to others) habit of reading Pierce's work first to last, starting with Alanna, continuing through Daine and Kel, checking in on Aly, and then switching universes to the four. I actually go on Pierce binges. You really can't read just one! Sorry... back to the subject at hand before I get harassed for being off-topic:

Thank you, Lhunardawen and Elrond's (other) Daughter. I'm having a little trouble seeing myself as pretty (my "look" right now is the unintentional grunge look, as I've been cleaning all day, and I've got a pencil being used as a giant hair pin to keep at least some of my hair out of my face as I type!), but I'll take your words for it. See, I rarely think about my appearance, so it's always a shock when it gets noted.

Lush: now I know at least parts of this are inaccurate, since I've seen your picture on Alk's page, but this thread is supposed to be imagined images of each other... sooo... Lush is about 5'8", with long and flowing locks of auburn hair. You've got brilliantly green eyes, that are much practiced in the art of flirting. You have the ability to make the most worn out jeans and a t-shirt look like hot. ;) Either that, or occasionally you leave human form and get stuck looking like a long-stemmed rose. Odd, ain't it?

*giggles* Amazing how one's avatar can affect how others envision him/her. No, I don't look the least like Eowyn. Or so I think. I could just wish I look like her. :rolleyes:

Fea doesn't look so much like Eowyn to me, more like a Hobbit lass.

Let's see now...time for some more mental images...

Elrond's Daughter is of medium height and build, with brown eyes and dark curly hair. She likes to wear Spongebob Squarepants t-shirts, or perhaps Tweety bird with faded jeans and flipflop sandals in bright colours.

True. But I just saw some resemblance to Eowyn in her eyes, I can't explain it.

Anyway, I think you (Elennar) look like Starfire in Teen Titans. Something about the name, I guess... :D

ninlaith 07-25-2004 08:03 PM

Lhunardawen: I told you I wasn't very good at this thread. I just like watching everyone try to guess what each other looks like. For all I know you could be a guy. That being said you may not be as well. See what I mean! I'm no good! :(

Lhunardawen 07-25-2004 08:21 PM

Don't be too hard on yourself, ninlaith. I'm no good in imagining too. But I'm most definitely not a guy. :)

ninlaith 07-25-2004 09:04 PM

Well thank you for the comforting words. I think I'll just remain a spectator for the time being. Or at least until my foresight kicks in....hehe.... :D

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-25-2004 11:01 PM

She is almost as tall as I am - call it 5'5" -, has shoulder-length black hair, with some trace of oriental blood in her - the eyes, mostly. And...

Ooops. :D

Aye, that would be wonderful indeed, especially since I noticed a Tolkien parallel (not necessarily reference, but it was funny to see) last night: Stenman Kinslayer, anyone?

A hobbit lass? Me?? And here I was hoping for Elven beauty or somesuch romantical nonsense. :D I'm a little lacking in the Elven height department though... I could be a really young Elf... Ooh, wait: Peredhil! Mwahaha. Er... sorry 'bout that.

I really like the Eowyn image, although I'm not positive where it came from. I'm niether blonde, nor fair and cold, although I will beat the tar out of anyone who messes with me or the ones I love. ;) Or at least threaten the tar out of them... amazing what people will believe if you throw enough rash [and fake] confidence into your speech. "You will stop this on your own, or I will make you stop. Pick one, but it will end." always works. As does "If you attempt to carry out your threats, I will break your jaw." Shamelessly stolen from Squire by Tamora Pierce.

Finwe: You are about 5'6", with long black hair with deep red lowlights. Your eyes are so dark brown that they are nearly black, and seem to hold an eternity's worth of wisdom beneath the surface. Actually, for anybody with the same musical taste as me, I picture Finwe as looking like Christina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil.

Lathriel 07-26-2004 06:46 PM

I'm a Tam Pierce fan too

My avatar says very little about me other than that I have a crush Faramir (Blushes)

I spent a long time reading this WHOLE thread. I really had to laugh about Eomer in a Tartan Kilt but I don't remeber who mentioned that.

I actually imagined most people a bit geekish or bookish. I never really thought about what you guys would look like.

ninlaith 07-26-2004 08:33 PM

Well Lathriel, I know you're female for the fact of the little crush on Faramir (or at least I hope you're female). I'm not good at this thread but I think i'll give it a shot again. I see....brown hair....maybe hazel eyes and about 5'6''. I know i'm way off but humor me.

Lathriel 07-26-2004 09:09 PM

I am indeed female and my hair is brown so you were spot on about that.
and 6'5" is close but not completly accurate so I guess my appearnce is easy to guess.

I'm not like Estel or Eomer, there were so many people guessing what they looked like it was funny reading all those posts. :D

Meneltarmacil 07-26-2004 10:01 PM

So sorry for being away...

Actually, the reason we don't worry about how we look is because we don't usually have any appearance problems that require more than a few minutes to fix. At least, I usually don't.
Quote:

Actually, from your avatar you do look somewhat like Arwen.

Anyway, sorry for being absent for such a long time. Two camp weeks back to back, can you say "tired"? And this guy in my cabin always having way too much caffeine and keeping everyone awake didn't help either...*yawn* But anyway, I managed to pull off a creepily accurate Gollum impression for some "spirit points" for my cabin during a volleyball contest.

OK, back on topic. I'm not quite sure why people have always imagined me with black hair, but my hair has always been blond. And if I liked to play with dangerous chemicals as somebody mentioned earlier, my house would probably be reduced to a huge smoking crater by now.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing as Feanor and putting my picture up as an avatar. If anybody thinks that would be spoiling something, now's the time to speak up.

Saraphim 07-27-2004 12:07 AM

You guys finally managed to pin down Eomer! I missed all that, and his consession, but now I'm back, in full force, and ready to say:

Nilpaurion Felagund: You are around 6 feet, with long light hair. You've got grey eyes, and when you're not on the computer or reading, you're staring longingly out at the ocean horizon.

Meneltarmacil: You said you like to play with chemicals so how do we know if your hair hasn't been "bleached" or "peroxided" blond. You may just be dying your hair blond to fool all the BD's. :D Just kidding. So anyway I am assuming you're female for the fact that I know if I did my Gollum impression in front of my guy friends they'd all laugh at me and think I was weird. Maybe about 5'5''. And maybe you're blond????? ;) Oh well I'm probably wrong. I always am in this thread.
