Do your Enworld name and avatar reflect who you are?

[Turanil]

The avatar pic itself is from a miniature I painted a few years later - I liked the comic relief potential of a Holstein Minotaur. One usually thinks of minotaurs in the more usual browns or black (Angus, etc - meat breeds), but the thought of a dairy cow minotaur made me chuckle. The black spotted white of a Holstein is pretty universally associated with dairy and visually very distinctive, so that pretty much decided his colors.

LOL! I have two miniatures of minotaurs that I never painted. Now, I know what I am gonna do on them hehehe...

 

[rigur]

I guess so the name is a nickname of mine and the avatar is me somewhat Photoshopped.

 

[Wombat]

I've never gotten an avatar together -- take that either way

As for my name, I think Wombat's are rather cute and I love the sound of the word -- "Wombat" -- makes me smile every time I hear it

Is this like me? Well, I like to make people smile, but I am not a marsupial nor do I live anywhere near the native lands of wombats... So I guess not...

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

*Shrug* Not really. This isn't my first alias here ("Shylock I was in my youth on the old server when Eric Noah ran EN World."); I started using it when I started a story hour for one of Angelsboi's games. After a while I'd built up enough posts that there didn't seem a point in changing it. I uses other aliases other places, but stick with this one for EN World stuff (like the NWN server) for consustency of recognition.

Never bothered with an avatar -- I keep them and signatures turned off to save space when browsing, so I don't see the need.

I just don´t know. Maybe there´s something Freudian lurking behind it, or simply I though it could be funny. Or both.

 

[Festy_Dog]

My name isn't that much of a reflection of myself, the idea for it came while I was at a wedding party actually, just a spontaneous combination of words that I found funny at the time and decided to use it as my online alias from then on. My avatars on the other hand usually reflect some aspect of me, often they'll be a firearm that I have an aesthetic appreciation of (I'm a bit of a gun bunny ) but in this case it's a cartoon-like version of myself.

 

[AFGNCAAP]

Well, this is actually my 2nd screenname: way back when Eric was still running the boards, my original screenname was Torlor (which was, in fact, a little kid's mispronunciation of the name "Thor,"--the screenname I had for a BBS several years ago; if you're from SA, TX, watched a particular "infoamous" cable public access show, & visited it's msgboard, then you may just know who I am ). At the time, it was the exact same name that I used for my AOL account (couldn't choose Thor without having a ton of numbers after it for some reason... ).

After the bliss & goofy fun that is Zork: Grand Inquisitor, I decided to switch my screenname to AFGNCAAP (check the .sig to see what it means). I'm a big fan of a fair number of classic CRPGs like Zork, Ultima, the D&D gold box games, Wasteland, etc. (plus newer "classics" like Baldur's Gate & Fallout as well).

As for the avatar: yes, I'm just a big, blue, glowing skeleton. Actually, it's the pic that I found & decided to use for my LiveJournal. And, what the heck, if anyone's interested, here it is. Plus, I like it better than the pic of Eomer I used for a while here.

The name definitely reflects me, my job, my love for comics and hero games.
The icon...well thats nothing like me, just someone I thought was cool as a kid. Kudos to those who can id him from the pic and not from the name of the file.

Sure thing Snake-Eyes. It's from an issue of the Devil's Due comic, in fact; the one that continues the main storyline/reality established in the Marvel comics. The G.I. Joe: Reloaded line pretty much is along the lines of Marvel's Ultimates, so Snakes hasn't had plastic surgery to fix his injuries yet.

He's my favorite Joe as well, BTW.

 

[Elocin]

I would have to say yes as the name is my wife's name just spelled backwards and it sounded cool.

As for the Avatar, I would say yes again as I am pretty outgoing and I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes, just look at my sig, or you could look at my license plate frame as it says the same thing .

 

[drothgery]

Well i am my name...er, or my name is me? Don't have an avatar, guess i'm not that motivated.

Pretty much the same deal here. First initial plus last name, no avatar. Yeah, that's me.

 

[ASH]

My username is simply my initials; i just got lucky because they also spell a name together. I use the same username on just about every messageboards i am on. As far as avatar... I dont know... I would say somewhat. The picture reminds me of my secret self. The quiet, mysterious, dark side that few see. Anyway...thats that.
