Do any members remind you of a character? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sorry if the title is not a good one, it was the best I could think of. I think an interesting thread to have on this site would be about what members remind us of what characters. I know that sometimes Hookbill makes me think of Bilbo and Rumil of Gollum. You could also say the Barrow Wight is like Feanor or Eru by creating something beautiful only it was not a Middle Earth or the Simarils but this great site. So what members remind you of what characters?

I tend to be too serious. Everyone around me comments on that.

Of course Lal's had that Bilbo avatar for as long as I can remember, but I've always thought she was Saruman. Simply because of this thread:

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthr...hlight=custard

Her musings about Elves walking on custard, and wanting to find out how everything works. To which, I responded she was sounding like Saruman and she practically placed Saruman on a gold pedestal, praising him as the greatest man in Middle-earth.

Mith, I think of Galadriel...particularly during WW where reading her posts are relaxing and I call 'a breath of fresh air', but certainly someone you do not want to cross in that game.

Agan's personality reminds me of Eowyn, although I don't think she would be into the Aragorn's of the world...still a strong-willed and determined person.

the phantom = Feanor 'nuff said.

Boromir88 reminds me of Boromir because their names are similar.

mormegil · 07-09-2009, 02:15 PM

Esty reminds me of Gandalf. She is everywhere and does everything. Yet she is patient and long suffering. The loss of Esty to the downs would be as devastating as the loss of Gandalf was to the fellowship.

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

SpM could remind me of Tom Bombadil. Very wise and serious and yet very light-hearted all at the same time.

Relaxed and me and werewolf seem terribly unlikely somehow..andI fear that your final comment shows you were actually thinking of Shelob....

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

I never noticed this thread before... I thought I'd check it out just to see if anyone else thought the phantom = Fëanor. Really.

To me Legate is Cirdan, since nobody else in M-e could be as knowledgeable. Cirdan lived through all the ages, he saw and knew all, and as such would be best fit Legate. Plus, Legate has an Elvish appearence.

I also thought about Pengolodh, but he is more a linguist.

Lalwende has always reminded me of Bilbo, but this might just be because her avatar has been a photo of Bilbo since as long as I can remember...
