This is NOT a thread about what people actually look like. What do you imagine people on here look like, from their User Name and posting style? I imagine Jack Batty, for instance, to be late 20’s, early 30’s, tall (6’ or so), of stature (lean, 210-225), with black hair, who was a part-time dude in college, and has retained some of that as a permenant trait. No ‘mean’ descriptions, please. –Tim ---

Coldfire - Little Dutch boy with blond curls and clogs. Ukelele Ike - Beach bum in a hawaiian shirt with a ukelele. MaxTorque - Grubby mechanic with plumber’s crack. ---

I envision Tim (Homer) as a lab-mix with a crossmember wrapped around his neck, tail wagging none the less. Zyada is sparkly. Does techie have glasses that make her eyes look really, really BIG? ---

Nocturne. You are just under six foot, about five ten. From appearances, you are about 150 lbs, yet you have no weight, no mass, no volume. You are epherial. You wear a dark black cloak of thick, rough materials unknown. Your face is gaunt and pale. When your cloak blows open, we glimpse the pure horror that is ourself. I can see the stars, planets, and nebulie inside of your cloak. Your hands are long, with thin fingers, and immaculate nails. You walk with a stride of confidence, an unknowing power unimaginable. You are not evil, yet you are far from good. You are eternity. –Tim ---

wolfman: You wear a red flannel shirt. You are hairy, with pointed ears and long claws. You’re not frightening, more like teen-wolf with more flannel. You also wear blue jeans with rolled cuffs. One time I saw you eat a lamb, but you apologized. –Tim ---

Silver\_Fire. You are a Canadian superheroine. You wear a silver suit of spandex, with a white maple leaf on your ample bosom. You wear a white belt, white gloves, and white knee length boots. You have a thin white collar. Your belt has a compartment for a white lasso, and silver handcuffs. You can fly, and are invulnerable. You have brown hair, red lips, and a killer body. –Tim ---

What do you really look like? 5’7", ~120 lbs. You have brown hair and hazel eyes. You’re between 18 and 21. In my world, though, you’re an animated vegetable, like VeggiTales, but with less religion. You don’t have legs. You’re just a string bean with eyes, nose, and mouth. Sorry, no superhero descriptions for you, unless you want to fight Evil Dr. Beta Carotene or something! 😛 –Tim ---

Eh, fer real? Average height, brown hair… um… small button nose. Mid twenties. Cutie pie. Real is boring. I like my superheroes, dammit! –Tim ---

Thanks! It’s all wrong of course, but interesting nevertheless. I am 5’3", a \ tad bit more than 120 pounds, with red/strawberry blonde hair (all natural, thank you very much) and brown eyes. I am 29. I always wondered if people would see my username and think “Green Bean = string bean = tall and skinny.” (My username has absolutely nothing to do with the vegetable, anyway.) ---
