Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9402202" data-attributes="member: 18">I'd just watched the anime Ruin Explorers on VHS and the tape was on my desk, and I was slightly in a sulk with the other couple of usernames I'd used a lot in the '90s, and wanted something different, hence I desknamed myself Ruin Explorer, in part because it seemed apposite to RPG discussion (this was actually for another forum before EN World, but I forget which), in part because I love the word "Ruin" and in part because I was being lazy. When I came to ENworld I used it because it was what I was going by at that time.My current avatar is recent and likely to change - it's Willem Dafoe in Streets of Fire, a character whose intense look inspired numerous manga/anime/Japanese videogame characters. I shall probably return to something less scary soon - for a very long time it was Dame Maggie Smith as Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey, both because I liked her face and character, and I felt like it mocked the pomposity and verbosity of some of my posts.</blockquote>
