Do your Enworld name and avatar reflect who you are?

[QUOTE="Raging Epistaxis, post: 1740469, member: 1169"] [b]Does my name and avatar reflect me?[/b] Nah, not really, other than a rather twisted sense of humor. On those rare occasions when I actually post, I do use the same pseudonym and avatar around the web, just for consistency. The name goes back to the third or fourth character I made for an online game called Avatar back in '90 or so - I kept dying horrible deaths - thus constant bleeding became Raging Epistaxis. 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. The one detail I like the most about that miniature is not really visible on the avatar - He's got a tiger pelt loincloth. Pretty tough dude to take out a tiger with his fists... Again, little correlation to me. :heh: R E [/QUOTE]
