Edgeworth avatar because he's my favorite prosecutor from the ace Attorney series (and because I was getting tired of my mew avatar). You can look for my posts in the older topics if you really want to know the origin of my username.

I really like dragons and at the time I was very very very... very short. but now im not. My first name was Teh_Small_Dragon. but I got sick of the lack of correct spelling and the underscores.
My avatar however is taken from Anne Stokes who is an amazing artist and does a lot of awesome dragon pictures. And I just Photoshopped my name in with a cool font. :D

The avatar came from New Vegas, and it's a reference to one of my all time fave movies, Six string samurai

My name comes from the same game, the achievement of the pic

My name used to be LostCelestial, which IIRC was an expansion map for something, but I can't remember what. But it sounded cool when I first heard it, so I used it for maybe... 4 or 5 years... Then I changed to LostAlone which is an album title that practically no-one has heard of. Obviously its similar although more angsty. And I think the internet needs more of my now non-teenage angst.

Also its a great album and I liked the name and the connotation. I have always had a thing about the word 'lost' and I scarred into one of my arms from a long time ago, and I'm content sticking with it, just changing the other word.

*sigh* I sound so emo. *shrug*

So I through in my favorite number and viola my user name was born and I use it or slit variations of it since then. As for my avatar. Trigun is one of my favorite anime series.

My user name is a name I came up with 7 years ago. It is based of the Atogs from Magic the Gathering.

My Avatar is Yuu from Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka. She represents my constant willingness to speak without speaking.

Mine came from reading about a science experiment in which the researchers had cooled a bunch of lithium atoms down near absolute zero, and one scientist described it as "kind of like a lithium jelly" and I thought "Ah! That'd make a cool username!"

I'm a big fan of fighting games, so naturally it would be a character from one. Though the reason why i chose Ryo specifically was because I think he's a good representation of my personality. Generally goofy but serious when he needs to be.

As for my screen name, i just chose it because it sounded cool.

My username... Me and my friend named Frank West MrShowerHead, while playing Dead Rising. Showerhead was our favorite weapon in the game. I thought "That's a great username" and now I use it pretty much everywhere.

And my avatar is David Draiman. He is awesome.

Handle: Incognito alias; random and without any meaning.

Avatar: Screen caputre of the seemingly insignificant typo that sets the entire plot of Terry Gilliam's film Brazil (1985) in motion.
