And BTW, Rachelle, I always think of you as looking like Rachel Ward-

(now don’t you feel bad that you made me cry?)☹

Maybe from now on you should call me Scotti; then you can visualize me as a dog with a blue bow.

Sigh…

Sounds like me… although my general clumsiness and size eleven feet DO give me a bit of a problem in the stealth department!  
Nice to meet you,fierra.

Except for the dressed in leather part, the actual description is true! However, I do _not_ look like Meighan Desmond! I wish! She is really cute!

Wump… reminds me of “Lump”.

I think of a slow movin’ easy going Canadian who has a evil twin personality when you strap a set of ice skates on him and make him play hockey. Suddenly becoming the ‘enforcer’… “I _Wumped_ him good, eh?!”

Now that this thread is a few pages long… anyone left to stereotype Enright3?

all I can say is…  
Trip trap, trip trap, trip trap… Who’s that trip trapping over my bridge?

(something like that, from the Three Billy Goats Gruff)

Thanks, AudreyK. I like that. Earlier android versions Enright1 and Enright2 weren’t quite adjusted correctly and went on a killing spree. I’m the first working version. Me Thinks I should have the android from Blade Runner as a girlfriend. Who was that… Sean Young?

I’m going to put in my 25 cents worth, and probably be ignored, but that’s all right too.

I picture Homer about 6’, medium brown hair in a somewhat-but-not-much-cooler-than-standard bowl-cut hairdo. He’s wearing a red plaid flannel shirt unbuttoned over a white t-shirt, which is not tucked into his jeans. Not “sloppy-Seattle” flannel, just geek-chic. He’s wearing glasses; black plastic frames, but rounded, avoiding that Drew Carey chunky geek-glasses problem. It’s hard to tell how good- or bad-looking he is, because he’s in a dark room, the only light coming from his monitor, so he’s bathed in an eerie bluish glow. His fingers are long and well-formed.

ssskuggiii (is that right?) is about 5’3". She has dark-ish brown hair, fairly short and pretty wavy. It gleams - “clean” gleam, not “unwashed” gleam. Her nose turns up slightly at the end. Her hands are quite small. She moves with quick, darting motions, and has been known to giggle madly for no apparent reason.

Enright3 is one of those very tall, very skinny guys with short black hair who sort of lurks in doorframes and corner recliners. Corpse-like, but in a strangely attractive way. He always wears button-down shirts. Always. His nails are always neatly manicured, and you get the impression that he’s always twitching, but you can never catch him at it.

Me? Anyone wanna do me? Wait…anyone wanna try to describe me?

Hamadryad is the queen of the forest. She rules from majestic boughs of her ancient oak. All the forest denizens bow to her, and to cross her in her own territory is extremely hazardous. Hamadryad has the temperament of nature itself. She can be as gentle as a spring day, or as terrible as a raging tornado. She is regal, tall, and graceful. Her eyes are the deep shadows of the most remote forest cove.

I see a white lab coat, glasses, you give people the “you are such an idiot” look when they try to make sexual inuendos out of your scientific explanations. You are the one in the film who lives at the end because you are they one who knows how to stop the nemesis.

“Oh shit, the giant mutant praying mantises are attacking the population. Get Hamadryad from the university, the world’s leading expect on stopping giant mutant insects!”
