Ok, here's a condensed version of the Mental images of Nyperold(followed in parentheses by the screen name of those to whom the images belong):

-Aged yet energetic(Mel)
-Barbarian hero-type in his mid-20s(Brunnen-G)
-Obselete N-space hyperwarp method(Wolfspirit)
-Reverse-aging wizard(Spider-Boy)

Any others?
