Isn’t it odd that we all have the same mental picture of **Qadgop the Mercotan**?

My mental picture of [MeanOldLady](http://www.joblo.com/newsimages1/movie-43-halle.jpg) (but without the baster).

You must be looking at that picture wrong, **cmyk** , because _I_ am the one in the middle. I picture you more [like this](http://mmprint.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/CMYK-by-shanthora-Amazing-CMYK-Inspired-Designs.jpg).

This may be cheating since I have access to the super-secret stealth moderator picture database, but I have an actual photo of **Colibri**. I’m sure he won’t mind me [sharing it](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HMq4ER-pIv8/TgoYG5c9faI/AAAAAAAABOw/qeYoP2XgE3M/s1600/Taylor+Butterfly+Hunter+-+2.JPG).

There I go making that [Zoolander](http://www.blogcdn.com/blog.music.aol.com/media/2012/12/ben-stiller-blue-steel-639-121912.jpg) face again. I think I had that hairline when I was 12.

Even though I’ve seen Neverending Story, I didn’t know her name was Moonchild, or I probably would have chosen differently. My SDMB name is actually in reference to my Mom, who [thinks she] is an astrologist – Moonchild being a euphemism for the sign of Cancer.

If we had avatars, I think I’d use that for mine. I don’t know about the whispy mustache, though - it wouldn’t be very feminine. 🙂

I always thought **St Germain** would be a sharp-looking, slender, dark-haired, good-looking, poetic, maybe a bit moody guy, who also had a bit of cowboy in him. Awesome! Then I found out he’s a she, and I don’t know what she looks like at all!  
**Baker** looks like someone I know–small, slender, short-hair, glasses. In, y’know, baker-y clothes.  
And I love the OP image of me…so, so close! 😃

When Bastian shouts her new name near the end of the film, it’s mostly lost in the wind and storm. Some claim this was an intentional choice by the director and sound mixer to allow viewers to “hear” whatever name they would have given her in Bastian’s place. But yes, those of us who read the book know he’s shouting “Moonchild,” which was his mother’s name. Only, I suppose, probably in German, since that was the original language of the book… Mondenkind, I think it is. 🙂

Hmmm.

Qadgop - looks like Dr Gregory House, except no limp

Elendil’s Heir - Definitely long-haired and bearded, kind of mystical - like a dwarf from The Hobbit movie, except not short 🙂

Marley - Rocker - Jerry Cantrell-ish

Bosda - Not sure why, a combination of Darstar from _Solarbabies_ and the alien/light/orb from _Flight of the Navigator_ (for your voice, prior to Pee-Wee Hermanizing)

Bricker - opposing counsel from My Cousin Vinny

MeanOldLady - her voice is Wanda Sykes, but she is much prettier

John Mace - don’t know why, but you look like Snake from Escape from New York/LA

Gary “Wombat” Robson - no description, but your name always sounds in my head like the WWE announcer “GAAAAARRRRRY “WOMBAT” RRRRRROOOOOBBBBSSSSONNN!”

Handsome harry - total gangster, like Pretty Boy Floyd

SSGt Schwartz - You bear a distinct resemblance to Viggo from GI Jane, except no 'stache

That’s all I have, not very good at this… ☹

If you’re referring to the flying wombat/pterodactyl/California condor type death from above thingy, I wholeheartedly approve.

It’s too bad the “title” field on the SDMB is too short for “flying wombat/pterodactyl/California condor type death from above thingy.” I would absolutely use that.
