Username: I genuinely have no idea which corner of my mind Serenegoose comes from - I think, basically, I like geese, and they have a reputation for being angry - a serene one was an amusing mental image, and from there, Serenegoose.

Avatar: I'm writing a book about Faeries. They're one of my favourite fantasy races, so I cropped an image from the rulebook of Changeling: The Dreaming which fit 'me' really well. :)

Username: me and my dad sometimes speak in German to each other and one day while having one of these conversations my dad called my bro a a sucker in German (i cant remember the actual word and I'm to lazy to translate)and i thought he said staika, and i liked the sound of it so i just kinda rolled with it. later i found out that staika is actually a tent which is pretty strange.

Avatar: I found it one day randomly surfing google and I thought it was funny so it became my avatar.

It was a random name I choose years ago when I had to create a name for Steam.

My avatar is from Gurren Lagann, and I uploaded it just a couple of weeks ago, because that was when I had finished the series, and found out that I love it to death.

Before this avatar I used to have one from Pan's Labyrinth. The scene when the pale man puts the eyes in his palms, and puts his hands in front of his face. I think I had that avatar for almost half a year.

Jumbo Palace is a Chinese restaurant in my home town. My two buddies and I all made our Gamertags the name of a Chinese place. I changed my gamertag but I still use JUMBO PALACE for most of my account names.

My avatar is a nearly 15 decade old pic I found that suits me.

The username was the password for the admin console I was assigned when I rented a server some 8 years ago and they didn't have the option to change it so I was forced to memorize it and after I dropped the server I figured I might as well put that wasted memory space in my brain to good use.

I am a big fan of Legend of Zelda but not the biggest, so I call ninth place.
