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.

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.

Quote:

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.

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.

GASP! Gil-galad, that's cheating!....Isn't it?

I guess it's about time I took another shot at description:
Sophia the Thunder Mistress: Your name makes me think of a extremely awe-inflicting supernatural being. You have long wavy charcoal-silver hair that glimers everytime you turn your head. You have gray eyes and pale skin. Your voice is deep and resonating, and will get the attention of anyone in your vincinity. Your hands are very cold, but you don't mind one bit. Either that much is true, or you're a dwarf.

Heh, I do chuckle a lot, apart from when I get hysterics and can't stop laughing, and then it descends into something like a Muttley laugh. And I have very small feet, and have been know to deliberately buy larger shoes so they dont look too small. That is, apart from right now as they are swollen to monstrous proportions having spent the whole day trekking around York - a place where being descended from Hobbits does have its advantages.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress conjours up an idea of a scary, very tall woman with long black hair, swirling clothes, long fingernails and lots of jewellery made from garnets and bloodstones. Or is that what you hoped it might conjour up?
