Username- My favorite monster from Yu-Gi-Oh! growing up was the Red Eyes Black Dragon.

Avatar- The Shadow of my favorite character from Persona 4. If I'm going to be looking at the same picture for hours, it may as well be adorable.

Username: Random.

Avatar: It's Furude Rika from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. I loved the anime and Rika was my favourite character, so of course I made her my avatar on both The Escapist and Steam.

Let's see -- I was a fan of the Dukes of Hazzard and the General Lee is of course an orange coloured Dodge Charger. I would like to have a 69 Orange Charger someday... not necessarily with the the requisite number and flag to make it a General Lee replica. The avatar is my xbox live arcade avatar which bears about as much resemblance to me as any of those avatars look like their real world counterparts.

Been using the username for years. It was originally Speratus, a name of a red mage in the Dragonlance universe I found. As it turns out, he eventually gets eaten by a dragon who impersonates him. I can't really find the place I found it anymore, but if memory serves, that is correct. The 3 came not long after, because it looked "cool" to have some leet-speak in the username, but it has stuck since, which is a pretty good thing, as it makes me able to identify whether it's me or not. Apparently there's a guy way back, who's called Paul Speratus.

As for the avatar, it's one of the panels from the Concerned Half-life comic that ran a couple of years back(it's still up, in case you're interested), where the protagonist Frohman hangs up motivational posters, this being one of them. I'm pretty sure you can guess where the idea for the poster comes from.

Username: Irony's Acolyte; Thought it up when I joined here. I like irony (it goes with my sense of humor), so Irony's Acolyte. There it is. You wouldn't believe the trouble that apostrophe causes though...

Avatar: Vaarsuvius (Currently); Vaarsuvius is my favorite character from Order of the Stick (webcomic I read) and I have several avatars depicting V. Vaarsuvius has just leveled up in this one and I love the look on V's face (seconded only by "Ultimate Power" V).

I'm a Sonic Koala (who likes both the word "sonic" and koala bears)

Avatar:

A drawing done by my girlfriend which I thought was awesome.
Fun fact: Koala's are actually marsupials and in no way related to bears at all. The is no such animal as a Koala bear unless there has been some seriously dodgy crossbreeding.
