So what's the story behind your username/avatar?

[SeeIn2D]

Simple enough, what is the story behind your username and current avatar? My username is based off of the Gorillaz band member, 2D. My avatar is my favorite soccer team FC Barcelona.

Captcha: mumbo jumbo, that's a good one too

 

[SckizoBoy]

I'm schizophrenic... I have the mentality of a brat... and I am both contemplative and morbid... *shrug*

 

[Jonluw]

My username is based on my own name, and my avatar is a picture of a calf that I took care of at a mountain dairy once.
It was born while I was there, and I and some others had to carry him down from the forest.
I used to have an avatar where you could see the entire calf, but then I decided I wanted just his head for my march mayhem avatar. And I wanted it to spin.
[user]darth.pixie[/user] made it for me.

 

[Helmholtz Watson]

Well there is a pretty long story [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World#Characters] behind my name. I recommended that you read the story if you have the time. As for my avatar, it has to do with seeing this commercial....
How I wish I could look like Gavin Dunne!

 

[Casual Shinji]

My username is kinda old and not too relevent in who I am anymore, but I've grown accustomed to it like an old sweater. You can probably recognize that it's anime related.

My avatar is just me in cartoon form.

 

[Phasmal]

My WoW name was Phasma but then when me and the boyfriend re-rolled on another server someone already had that name so I added an L and there we are.
And also Sailor Jupiter fuck yeah.

 

[lRookiel]

lRookiel is my gaming name, kind of ironic since I'm quite good at games, I'm not exactly gonna change it to "0mg1337G4M£R" though.... The name has grown on me I guess.

Oh and my avatar is the Cheshire cat from Tim burtons take on Alice in Wonderland, he is my favourite fictional character so I decided to have him as my avatar.

:3

 

[ChupathingyX]

Username is from Red vs Blue episode 2: "Red Gets a Delivery".

It's catchy, light-hearted and easily recognisable by any fan of the show.

Avatar is a cut down version of Cao Cao's artwork [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080530090631/dynastywarriors/images/3/35/DW5_Cao_Cao_Artwork.jpg] from Dynasty Warriors 5.

It's my favourite artwork from that game and I love his pose.

 

[Able Seacat]

I like cats so my username is in honour of a cat called Simon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(cat)] who served on the Royal Navy sloop HMS Amethyst.
My avatar is from an artist called Goro Fujita [http://www.area-56.de/_area56_data/about.html]. I wanted a cat avatar to go with the name and I really like this guys work.

 

[Ninjat_126]

My username? I don't remember. Think it was a reference to a game, somewhere, years ago, and the first thing that popped into my head.

My avatar is Schroedinger, the Nazi-catboy from the anime/manga series Hellsing which I have a casual interest in. Schroedinger, however, is hands down my favourite character.

 

[Luftwaffles]

.....yup

 

[Spy_Guy]

I like Shy Guys and I like backstabbing.

I'm also a firm believer in "if an avatar is not self-made then it's not a good avatar", which explains that.

 

[Ultress]

I was playing FF6 at the time and really loved when Ultros asks Relm to call him Uncle Ulty,so I went with that.


As for the avatar, I'm one of those freaks who adores Fuuka from Persona 3 and this was some nice summer fan art.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

My username is... the name I was given at birth, 17 years ago, in the land of Wales.

And my avatar is just a cool .gif of Bane from the Dark Knight Rises

 

[jaffrosheep]

my name is mixup of two nicknames as i have a jaffro and my old nicknname was sheepy so yup
and my avatar is of ssohpkc saying hey no one cares

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

There's no story really. A 'cwtch' is a Welsh word roughly meaning 'safe place' or hug. I chose it for the irony, as I am very much not a huggy person in real life.

The avatar is meant to equally ironic, cause, ya know, it's a demonic teddy bear.

 

[Eleuthera]

The name's taken from a novel I was reading at the time I made my first WoW-character, and is also her name. I've since started using it for pretty much everything.

The avatar is one of Allison(from Extra Credits)'s Guinnee pigs, no real deeper meaning besides 'I like it'.

 

[Vegosiux]

Username is a portmanteau of "Vegos" which used to be my nickname in certain circles, and one of those name from Asterix the Gaul. Interestingly enough, it's not a name I ever use for my characters and chat handles elsewhere.

As for my avatar, well.
*suddenly gets all kinds of serious and gloomy voice*
"It is *torment.* It is that which draws all tormented souls to you. The flesh knows it suffers even when the mind has forgotten. And so you wear the rune always."

And also Sailor Jupiter fuck yeah.

Tsk, always prefered Mars with her long black hair and the fiery doom she always found new ways to rain on the generic villains of the week.

 

[Rawne1980]

Rawne is one of my favourite characters in Gaunts Ghosts (they others being Mkoll and McVenner but they look odd typed out) and I was born in 1980.

Usually use Gomly (the character name of nearly all my characters in every RPG i've played. Starting in Ultima Online many moons back) but fancied a change.

My avatar ... well ... i'm a Liverpool supporter.
