Ok here is a game. We find a picture of someone real, no fantasy paintings or elves with jaguars but a real photo of someone dressed up in the way that you look like. Here is basically what Glaumring looks like if anyone is interested. Here I will include a link to http://imgur.com/
(http://i.imgur.com/cXPdF.jpg)
And here is what I think Indirik looks like.... I have always imagined him looking like an old man in flowing white robes... Kind of like Gandalf but not really, so here is the closest to what my imagination of Indirik...
(http://i.imgur.com/uks6M.jpg)
Here is how I always imagine Bowie Ironsides...
(http://i.imgur.com/ZdbEi.jpg)
And Allison Kabrinski...
(http://i.imgur.com/nEYCT.jpg)
So basically a picture of a close approximation of yourself, real photos no fantasy paintings etc and maybe a pic or two of what you think or thought other people look like.
Haha, I like that picture of Allison.
You nailed my impression of Bowie. That's a good one for Allison, too.
Brance has been described as wearing red and black clothes of good tailoring. But his hair isn't quite white yet, and no wizard hat.
Have you considered trying the wizard hat?
Not really. If Brance wore a hat, it wouldn't be a pointy one.
Ok here is Grimrog Bjarnson of Asylon...

Brom....

I'm interested in what Gustav Kuriga is viewed as if anything at all...
Gustav Kuriga....OK I have always pictured Gustav as being this behind the scenes kind of steady hand type fellow and I am a bit drunk right now getting ready to go out for a halloween party but I think Gustav would look like Sean Bean...
(http://i.imgur.com/GeBGm.png)
Oh and going to throw this one in there but this is who Mathurin Hossenfeffer looks like to me, without the crown, beard or chainmail... Patrick McGoohan...

I'm actually quite honored, since that's what I was going for all along.
Do you want a pointy wizard hat like Indiriks to finish off the outfit?

Yes! Perfect! The Pointed Hat of Doom +10 Prestige +10% Spells
Initially I was gonna suggest this dude for Brom since it's sorta how I see him in my head but he's like a million years old.
So !@#$ it. Here's Paul. *Crossed arms.*
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33672146/Paul.jpg)
Edit: Allison's a foooox.
So when is Brance going to start looking like this?
(http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd222/hope_to_last/Targaryens%20by%20Amok/Aerys_II.jpg)
Thats a pretty good Brom! I can sort of see that. Maybe I was projecting lol
That hat is totally Gustav.
And Brance does have an epic-level crown now.. those clothes are the right color. Trim the hair, beard, *and* the finger nails, and maybe that could be him on a day when people are being idiots...

Such an idealistic look for Bowie! I am unsure if he lives up to that handsomeness/dashery, well maybe when he was younger. He's nearing sixty now, so he probably looks more like this:

Malus.
This is almost entirely accurate. I've described him in the past as being unassuming, of pale complexion, with short cropped hair and the kind of detached, easy demeanor of someone who spends most of his life in his own mind. I know that's not really what Steve Buscemi is playing in Boardwalk Empire, but the picture captures it. In fact, I'd say that Nucky Thompson (the character in the series) perfectly encapsulates Hrok.
QuoteNucky is employed as treasurer of Atlantic County, New Jersey, but in effect controls the region as a political boss. At the start of the series, set the day before prohibition is to take effect, Nucky conspires with other local politicians to profit from bootlegging liquor. Nucky conducts his business out of the top floor of the Ritz-Carlton, and makes a fortune on bootlegging and other criminal activities performed in Atlantic County.

True, but he's much less ruthless than Hrok, and more of a charismatic people's person. That's why I thought about Malus.

As a guy who works 12 hours a day I have very little time to read anymore :( . I manage to sneak a few minutes here and there to check BM. I have the first book on my shelf, I also have 10 other books to get through and one or two on the go. Used to be a mad reader.
