Sounds like it should be the title of a new thread. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Meander is the name of my first character. He was created as a fighter in D&D before the release of AD&D. He was from a prominent family who had a legend of being descended from a dragon. Since he was going out adventuring he didn't want to use his real name so he chose to go by the name Meander.Throughout his adventuring career he has always had a fascination with dragons as well as being a bit of a gambler. He would collect any and all tales he could find of dragons and gather the group to go track them down. Not to slay the dragon, but to try to get the chance to talk and discover more lore about them.In the course of adventuring, he came upon the remains of an alchemist's lab where there was a potion labelled simply My Masterpiece. His gambling nature prompted him to say 'Why not?', so he drank it. It was a potion of immortality. This was about the time the group was switching over to that new thing called AD&D. Meander got ported over as a dual-class fighter just starting out on the path of wizard. Between his fascination with dragons and his burgeoning mystical abilities, he started gaining more and more draconic attributes until he acquired a Wish as a reward for a services done in removing a circle of Lich Lords from some kingdom he and his associates were passing through. The wish combined with his nature to transform him into the Iconic Dragon his family had descended from so now he is a wandering dragon archmage.Meander has, as PC and NPC, survived transformation into every incarnation of this game called Dungeons & Dragons wandering through world after world and edition after edition acting as sort of a magical knight errant.As for the Avatar, Draco is obviously for dragon and Meander means to wander aimlessly. What better way to represent the Wandering Dragon than transforming him into the old west movie knight errant of the Man-with-No-Name?</blockquote>
