Mental images of the tropers.

@Matrix: I actually did have long greenish hair at one point, but I cut it, and the temporary dye washed out. Now I look like a shorter Haruhi Suzumiya.

I agree with the first poster of Matrix being a Cute Shotaro Boy. And I think Fawriel is a Bishōnen.

The only real surprise for me was Furiko. I wasn't expecting an expy of my cousin. The resemblance is scary.

Was I ever part of your unwanted reverse harem, Furiko? If so, I humbly apologize and recuse myself.

How does a Reverse Harem work, anyway?

EDIT: So it HAS a trope...

EDIT 2: it was just a redirect, isn't Unwanted Reverse Harem redundant? why Reverse, anyway?

Meaty: Like I said earlier but I forgot to tack on that hilarious cheesiness that comes with being a peppy happy nurse despite your evilness.. and your a brunette.

Instead of a bunch of girls glommed onto a hapless guy for mysterious reasons, it's a bunch of guys glommed onto a hapless girl for mysterious reasons.

Strictly speaking I suppose this still qualifies as unwanted and (colloquially) a harem, but in practice it's played with the first set of genders much more often.

I guess the fact that the only Unwanted Harem I've watched is Ouran would explain my confusion... In any case, I said it before, I'll say it again, Matrix looks exactly like he sounds, his voice fits his looks so well it's scary.

Instead of a bunch of girls glommed onto a hapless guy for mysterious reasons, it's a bunch of guys glommed onto a hapless girl for mysterious reasons.

Being horny is mysterious now?

Well, there are some cases that defy explanation...

Little Serge: For some reason, I think you look like a Canadian Mountie. Your name has "serge" in it, like "red serge", the dress uniform of the mounties, plus your avatar is red. I now imagine you posting while riding a horse through British Columbia.

Fawriel: Sorta girly-man? With a goatee? No offense, but your original signature picture kinda colored my perceptiion of you.

Jinxed Blackcat: Exactly like your avatar, with the braid and hands-on-hip gesture.

Matrix: Your voice on Vent leads me to believe that you're a tiny little guy with a lot of extra energy.

Mint Pearl Voice: Diminutive and sorta like the forum's little sister.

Tangent 128: Like a guy you'd pick out of a IT department.

C Trombley: Like some of the other posters here, I'm lead to believe that you're an older gentleman seated in a reclining position.

Jethro Q Walrustitty: Like a crazy Scandinavian guy, but since your name has "Jethro" in it, you are also an anti-aircraft K-bot with guided missiles in your shoulders.

Hmmm...I wonder what people's mental image of me is like.

The Gentle Giant, Lee! That's how I've imagined you.

@Adam: Yes! That is awesome! I didn't even realize the pun until now, it was totally unintentional. Heh, as a Canadian, I would like to say that I'd probably be better suited for service in the "Great North Woods", where I'm from. :P

And I think Fawriel is a Bishonen.

Funny story, that. They actually sent me an invitation to join the International League of Bishies, but I ended up not passing the entry requirements because my nose is too manly. 'Tis sad, it is.

On that note, I think of you (Minty) as Ahiru. I have no idea how you could possibly look otherwise.

Lee, I still think of you the way you looked to me in your first avatar, with the sheepish smile and all. It makes you look even more like the guy you first reminded me of.

I can't think of any other mental images right now except one... well, two. I still think of Zephid as the plague dude. But I just realized yesterday that when I think of AOD, the person that pops up is, well, the guy who plays Ma-Ti from Captain Planet. ... Yes!

I tend to imagine people as whichever avatar I first remember them using that had a face on it. Which somehow makes me imagine Bobby G as his Chaz avatar all the time. And Fast Eddie will always, always have his head on sideways to me.

Reynardine has no face?

But don't let that change your perception of me as Charlie! Charlie is awesome!

*misses Charlie-Chaz *

the guy who plays Ma-Ti from Captain Planet

Aw c'mon seriously? The heart power kid?

Well, I did say it was whichever one I remember...

@AOD: Well, the guy who played him in that That Guy With The Glasses video anyway. Who's... actually Indian.

This may or may not be an improvement!

Made of Meat is a very morbid brunette nurse who speaks in a very perky voice and is always smiling. She is also an improvised weapon user.

Jethro is a vaguely humanoid shadow.

Noimporta is a shape shifter with an affinity to the colour green.

Zephid is and always will be The White Spy◊

Glenn Magus Harvey is an animesque teenager with red hair and an energy sword.

Cliche is a very large and sinister aglet.

Galeros is Gaia

Ironeye is a cyborg version of Jack◊ Kerouac◊

Bobby G is {{Dr. McNinja}}

Furiko Maru is Lain

Pacific is a rather mysterious figure who has just discovered her bed is floating somewhere in the middle of the ocean.

Eriksson is a sadistic and cruel emperor who has amusingly been trapped in the body of a child.

C Trombley is the seventh Doctor

Matrix is a yellow Skitty.

Zyxzy is Sylvia Plath

Jotun of Boredom is a very cheerful kid with red hair and glasses.

Cherry is Azula

Sciatrix is a Slavic dragon◊

I wish I had such imaginative mental images of other tropers.

Like I said in the Troper Theme Songs thread, I think of THX 1138 as a robot. Korgmeister as well, thanks to that avatar.

I tend to think of everyone as looking like their avatars. ^_^

So I look like a grizzled bandit to you?

To me, Fawriel is the first avatar I saw him using with the color scheme of his most recent one.

So, green man-ferret.

It makes me wonder...

I also think of everyone as looking like their avatars.

Though how little I look like my avatar makes me want to post on the photo thread. Lemme see if I can find any photos of me.

EDIT: No good recent ones. Lemme see if I can find that digital camera.
