What do you Think the Barrow-Downers look like?
You know how we see a name, and read a few posts, and get a visual image of that character as someone from the LotR - not the actual person.
For example: Mithadan - half elven, tall, thin, angular face. Tending to look remote. Smiles from a somewhat haughty distance, brushing dust off his cufflinks. Lush - Bawdy vixen of Rohan, fair, yet down-to-earth, with a perpetual twinkle in her eye and ready smile. [ May 17, 2002: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ]

Sounds Fun -
Rosa_Baggins - a cute little girl, with long curly hair, large eyes and big smile. Sports a giddy look and is a constant giggler. Manelwen - A tall sobre young woman, shoulder length black hair, bespectacled and carrying a book at all times. Wears basic black. The Viking Thunder - A tall young man with long flowing hair. Well built and into sports, a poor dresser and dancer. Gimli, son of Gloin - A happy, little 12 year old with tousled hair and an inexhaustible supply of gum and reference manuals. Amanduial the Archer - A wild eyed, tomboyish young woman, wearing mostly boy clothes and sporting a casual, skateboarder look. Niere-Teleniel - An arrogant looking young lady, prim and proper. Seemingly ready to admonish rowdy young hobbits. Daniel Telcontar - A tall gangly, confused young man, wearing thick spectacles ala Drew Carey, an allround fun guy. Nevtalathiel - A very proper English young lady, mostly in ruffled Catholic School Uniform. Ready for a laugh at all times. Celebmundoiel - A rather confused young lady, blond and beautiful. Her biggest worry is getting zits. Loves Britney Spears. Laiedhaliel - Young and beautiful, hair blowing in the wind, stands with an air of nonchalance, would make a good seeker in Quidditch. Lady Death - Someone called Hope and Death is bound to be a looker. W [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]W! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] This was fun, got a few more cooking in the oven.

Haha! Woah Cimm! That's the first time I've ever been called prim and proper! Oh my, I guess my actual personality doesn't really show through all that much! (If it did, I'd scare everyone away!)

Starbreeze: tall with long, very blonde hair and always smiling and laughing.
Samwise: dressed in boyish clothes, smiley and practical. Mithadan: I agree with the aloof sword sharpening image. Raefindel: like a 17th century pub landlady. confident, takes no nonsense and supportive. This is fun, my head is full of pictures, however inaccurate of you all.

Well, well, well, Maril certainly got me right.
I am not purple, Kate, though I can be just as controversial (or like to think I can). Amarnith-I take your description as a compliment, and agree with it. Though I do lack the Lara-cleavage. As for my own visions of you guys... Maril-a fairy that bites. Kate (onewhitree)-Princess Fiona from Shrek Mithadan-Thingol, minus the mad lust for Silmarils. Cimmerian-A dude from Gondor who's in the mood to fight. The Barrow-Wight-Ulmo.

That's almost right, Lush - fair and cold...brr.
I'd love to be Gondorian. Let's try at some of the senior-most members. The Barrow Wight - A tall stately man, wiser than he appears yet keeping out of the limelight. Sharku - An imposing figure, grim and resolute, walks with confidence. Startles people with that sudden maniacal grin. Mithadan - Edward Scissorhands collides with the Headless Horseman and parties on. Mr.Underhill - Happy looking yet commmanding respect. The title of Mr. setting him apart. Gilthalion - A bespectacled old man, carrying heavy compendiums and manuals about RPG and plumbing. Er... put away those swords, I am a unarmed man. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Why worry about appearance?! We're all dead here in the Barrow-Downs! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] So, yopu can recognise one of us by these:
-extremely pale skin -staring eyes, never blinks -worms crawling from nostrils (Ugh..) -very quiet. Hehe.. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I don't know about you guys, but I always pictured the BW as a chick. It's not a feminisim (sp?) thing, I just do. Like, a chick with brown hair and glasses and a soft voice...Wow, where did that one come from?

Hmm. Very interesting. I always pictured Maril as a short, brown-haired lady with a welcoming look on her face, and littlemanpoet as a tall, thin man dressed all in black, wearing a beret, sitting at a sidewalk cafe and sipping coffee, looking like the artist from the movie The Iron Giant. I always thought of the Barrow-Wight as a very big, frightening spectre with a soft side and King Carlton as being black-haired and reminiscent of Eomer in the Battle of Pelennor fields. That's all I can think of for now that hasn't been said.

Ha, Aosama, your description of littlemanpoet is priceless, beret and all! And I do have brown hair.
Lush, I hadn't read Kate/onewhitetree's description of you yet, so I read "purple... who? what?.. Barney????" When I moved on to the word "controversial" I squinted at the screen, confused. I don't think we have an Barney personas here. Which is probably just as well.

Hmmm. I see Cimmerian as a rather popular guy who has to hide his Tolkein hobby from the rest of the group.
Arwen Baggins is a teenage girl who likes either Elijah or Orlando. Given. Manelwen isn't prim or proper - I see her more artsy and broody. What about me? How do you all think I look?

LoL.. I have very strong opinions about how everybody looks, based on the fact I have gotten out from them while chatting. For example, Sindacuion is a 13 year old boy from Finland.. a fact impossible to forget since we are online on the same times mostly.. and people tend to ask a/s/l a LOT.. ^_^ Well, here is my opinion about some people:
Miriel: Nice girl with lightbrown hair. Friendly, but do tend to set chatting in front of doing her assignments Elentarien (aka WonderDun aka marupgarg): Cool 16 year old girl from Argentina. Wants to be an actress and is almost as insane as me. Thalionyulma: Based on her RPG-character Rudchamion, I for a long time thought Thalion was a boy. Don't have any clue what she looks like, just the fact that she's nice.. LoL, I could go on. I am not that good to tell what impressions I get, otherwise then how the people act. In my head, though, I DO have pictures of most of you..

Hey Elenna,
sorry to have missed you out on the first go - well Elenna - A young woman between 16 and 18, well built and headstrong, doesn't tolerate backmarkers and impersonators. Aosama - A squaky clean pretty little girl in her early teens, appears to have stepped out of Japanese Anime - Miaka from the Seven Star Warriors Anime. Birdland - A young woman, matured in wisdom, enjoys the offbeat and bizarre. The only one to turn up at a costume party in formals and vice versa.

Cimmerian got close to me but I'm not afraid of getting zits because my face is always clean and I hate britney spears. I'm not going to say what I think of her because I'll probly get in trouble with some of the words I would use. But I am blonde and always confused. Sorta dumb blonde but hey I dont care.
Oh ya and Orlando Bloom rocks. I would think ArwenBaggins likes proboly likes Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood, Dominic Monaghan, or Sean Astin. [ May 22, 2002: Message edited by: Celebmundoiel ]

Celebmondoiel has said the words that made me very happy (and I quote):
and I hate britney spears. I'm not going to say what I think of her because I'll probly get in trouble with some of the words I would use. I couldn't have said it better myself.... Anybody got an opinion about me???? Ok, besides that some of you think I'm mean and stupid but I mean about what I look like.

Earendil brings to mind light, for obvious reasons. So, I picture a fair elf with long, golden hair. Or the same from the race of men, only without the pointy ears. And of course, a radiant white light shining from within.

Like Eärendil, I can't really describe how I view my fellow BDs, b/c when I think about it, I get a vision of what they're like, but not a physical picture in my mind.

Okay, if everyone thinks of Mith like that, then you've definitely NEVER conked your head on his golden throne. I always thought of him as not so old-looking, quite young, aloof, and likes to sit on unconfortable, golden thrones.
Kate- exceptionally nice Thenamir- on account of his claim of being old, I imagine quite rowdy, prolly some Star Wars stuff stored around his house, stern at times, and can get easily annoyed of ruffled Zifnab- always has to have his can of SPAM to throw at ppl Like I always say: Whatever SPAMS your ziffy! Sharku- OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD WISE man, almost like Saruman, just not THAT old!
