Oh and Boro, I agree Phantom = Feanor

Hakon · 07-09-2009, 05:14 PM

Add me to that Phantom Feanor bandwagon. I agree.

B-W is Eru as he created the site and was around for a while and slowly or suddenly left the affairs to others and now is seldom seen

So what would that make his introduction of Werewolf? The Akallabeth?

I should say Mithadan can be likened to Manwë: calmly cerebral most of the time, while radiating a sense of power. And Mister Underhill? More like Tulkas, perhaps: powerful as well, but has a tendancy to be a bit more, shall we say, forceful.

I was more describing how I feel after reading your WW posts. You have nice words of wisdom and it's a pleasant break from reading all us forceful loudmouths slugging it out and dealing out black eyes.

And you typically bring up something new/different part of the game we ended up forgetting.

Plus as pleasant and helpful as I find Galadriel, I still wouldn't want to cross her! Look at Feanor, and as Aragorn said she is perilous, if you bring peril with you.

Despite the name Boro sometimes reminds me of Sam ...never afraid to speak his mind...

Yes, and much to my dislike any time I've tried those LOTR personality tests I wind up with like an 80% + likeness to Sam.

Boromir actually reminds me of Elrond. A lore master always quoting from letters and histories.~morm

I would have thought it would have been for WWED

Hmm...for narfforc, I actually wanted to say an orc, just because of the name similarity, but I'd say more Gildor. It might sound a little odd, like why Gildor, but I've always had a fascination with the character. I find Gildor pretty humorous, plus narfforcs quick posts always have a bit of insight, and it leaves me wondering what else does he know, but he's just not revealing to me!

I can't picture morm as anything except a gun-wielding monkey...so if there are any characters that remind you of gun-wielding monkeys it's morm. Kind of like Lommy, I can't see as anything else except a penguin.

Hakon · 07-09-2009, 09:05 PM

Rumil reminds me a bit of Bilbo, especially with those riddles. I am thinking about starting to call him Mr. Bilbo or Mr. Rumil. I think I remind myself of Denethor sometimes. Boro, you remind me more of Faramir than Boromir.

Bêthberry · 07-09-2009, 09:09 PM

I think Squatter's quite a character, as is Lush. Hookbill too, and possibly burrahobbit.

Rumil · 07-09-2009, 09:44 PM

Duw, duw,

Lucky escape! I was Gollum, now Bilbo!

I must say that I was seriously considering putting on The Precious there for a moment,

Meanwhile,

Esty is definitely Elbereth,

Legate is Elrond,

Lush is Queen Beruthiel, but in a good way

I'd better stop now before I cast nasturtiums....

Well I guess I more or less have the hair (though I cover up the silver).... but of course the inconsitency is that I doubt I would refuse Phantom-Feanor a lock of it.

I don't quite see him that way myself but ... I am working on my list..

Nessa Telrunya · 07-10-2009, 11:58 AM

I would have to say that Hookbill sort of reminds me of Tom Bombadil. I just can't put my finger on why...

You all realise, of course, that if the phantom = Fëanor, then we're only a step away from the phantom = Fëanor of the Peredhil. Not that this wouldn't explain all sorts of things in relation to the phantom's ego and such...

In any case, I by and large do not tend to associate people on the Downs with people in the books, but Lalwendë is Galadriel to me--ageless and fey. Mark/Helen is Goldberry--not sure why, but there's a mental association with washing clothes on rainy days crosswired in the brain somewhere.
