Do your Enworld name and avatar reflect who you are?

[Turanil]

Umm... yeah. You are getting sleepy...

There are some nice avatars around, and I also much like when people put their real photo. However, Faerl'Elghinn I think that you deserve the medal of the best avatar, really.

----------------------------------

EDIT: Now this avatar has been replaced, so my remark has become absolutely obsolete. :\

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

I am a big fan of the Terry Pratchetts discworld novels.
My first Shadowrun mage (and second roleplaying game character) was named "Albert Malicho", and I used the name as nick for the SR Nexus (German Fans Shadowrun board) and the FanPro Boards. I don`t know why I later chose the name of the present (instead of the first) archchancellor - maybe I lost an account or something like that.

I currently don´t have an avatar, but usually I use a picture of the "Dancing Baby" (remember Ally McBeal?).

I am not sure if they say a lot about my personality. Since I am a student of computer science, I might have to change my name to PonderStibbons, but I really prefer Mustrum. Maybe I like it because I sometimes like to make fun of myself, and Ridcully, well, has a fitting ring to it. or trendsetting attempt due to a parallel ICQ conversation: "double point, closing bracket".

 

[FungiMuncher]

I used to play a lot of play-by-mail games. Fitzpaw FungiMuncher was a character I created for a pbm game called Monster Island. He's a catfolk type creature who shamed his clan by experimenting with unusual (non-meat)foodstuffs. His habits became so persistent his family agreed to pay for his voyage to monster island, just to be rid of him. Always imagined him as a rogue in a warrior's world, who'd grow into a kind of mystical herbalist. Never got to that because creating the character was a lot more fun than playing the game.

The picture I got from one of those Dover clip art galleries.

 

[Theron]

I use my real name. My avatar is a picture of my oldest remaining TSR dice, so they're very much a part of me as well.

Though I'm told that at gaming conventions I really stand out. I'm a tallish skinny guy with a pale complexion, dark hair, glasses, and a goatee.

 

[Testament]

Both my name and Avatar come from the Guilty Gear series of games, awesome 2D fighters that you should all check out.

Why did I pick that name/appearance? Because I think Testament is an amazing character, not only is he fun to use, but his back story is also good.

 

[Jeff Wilder]

Um....

What he said.

 

[megamania]

I always thought you took your name from the old Activision game for the Atari 2600. Oh well.

no spinning dice or candy canes to shot here. I have heard of the game and once played it. But no- he was a name I pieced together looking through dictionaries and psyche books.

Basic powers- He can mimic any thing he sees nearly 100% if within his phyical means. As a quick describer- he has never seen basketball before. He watches a pro sink a few free throws. His brain breaks down the push, spin and math of it and first time picking up a ball sink 9 of 10 shots flawlessly.
Government got wind of it and made him into an agent. They discovered that he did this with personalities also. Oops...have him around killers and the such and you got a lose cannon waiting to blow.

Though in the fact he was on a mission for gawd. See my Story hour "Strikeforce: Morituri" for a DnD version of him.

 

[Tinker Gnome]

My avatar is Auto from the Mega Man series of games. I just put him there so I could have an avatar.

 

[Lichtenhart]

Lichtenhart has been the only 2e char of mine that I really loved. I was playing him when I first came to Eric's site so it became my handle. He is a truly noble paladin of Terra, the Goddess of Earth. He sacrificed his eyes to save a companion from death, and he he is still blind, though he received an earth element mount after a quest, and he can see through his eyes. The name should mean something like Enlightened Heart or Shiny Heart. The avatar stems from that, because our DM mentioned him in a prophecy as 'a heart bright as a star'. The heart with a star within became his coat of arms, but this is the closest image I found.

Is he anything like me? Heh, I wish I had 18 CHA. But 'what would Lichtenhart do?' became a joke question whenever my friends and I talked about morals, and I more than once tried to 'follow his example'. I'm a lot more hot tempered than him though, so I rarely succeed

 

[Allanon]

My handle is the name of the last remaining druid in the Shannara series (the first three books, no the latter series). I've used the name ever since I've been online, I like the ring it has and even though it's hardly my favorite book anymore in a long shot I do have fond memories of reading it. The avatar is from around the time PotC was a huge hit and it's still one of my favorite movies.

Do these things reflect my inner self, hardly though an observant person could deduct some stereotypical things from them (books read, movies seen, etc.). I'm a IT-specialist (which sounds grander than it is) working on e-business solutions with a large dutch insurance firm. I'm no seafaring scallywag nor a mysterious druid of any kind. I've never raped and plundered or cast a succesfull incantation in my life and the only thing I've ever stole in a (for me) mysterious way was my girlfriends heart (sickening ain't it ).
So no, my internet identity doesn't resemble me in the least, a pity in some way actually...
