Arthas was a rather charismatic figurehead (Before the whole undead thingy and WotLK) and I want to be a charismatic figurehead, so I put his head as my figure and pretend to be charismatic.

I like Disturbed, the symbol stands for "Believe" the meaning which I take as don't believe in a religion, but rather believe that there's something working "above" which means a lot to me because everyone in my family believes in some different religion whereas I just "believe." It's also something I have tattooed on my back

I dressed up as a victorian, and people thought I was Dr Watson... So I changed my name to a Holmes quote, and Added the pic of me in my victorian garb! (Minus the hat... unfortunately the pics with the hat were too dark to see! Also unfortunately you cannot see my cane... which is damn awesome!)

Also, it's far too difficult to see, but the nect to the Escapist 'e' logo is the rest of the word Elementary, to go with the name!

The Cheshire cat is my favourite character, nothing else to say really.

I found out about Kilroy from a graffiti book and thought he was awesome. I eventually decided to make my avatar the same as my username, so I drew a Kilroy picture myself. I use it for all my avatars steam etc.

Found it on the net.

I have bought every edition of D&D and did so when they were actually in print.

Tried to avoid 4E, but Gamma World looked like too much fun.

I like Scott Pilgrim and I like cats. So this was kind of natural. Gideon (the cat) is so damn cute as well.

One day, I was strolling around the Escapist, bored out of my wits. Then I spotted a Lets's Play for Katawa Shoujo. I decided to participate, as I had almost finished the game and loved it to death.

The LP was amazing, most enjoyable. And on a certain day, a certain update appeared, and said update contained a gif.

It was love at first sight... (Sorry Lilly)

"I must have that as my avatar" I thought to myself. But I have zero skill in image editing or anything related, how am I going to do this?

But then, there came the LP host, Sir Caramel Frappe himself! And he spoke in heroic manner:

Caramel Frappe said:
Fear not! I shall take care of this![footnote]This might be a bit innaccurate in regard to what really happened.[/footnote]
...and I've had this blinking angel watch over me ever since. Or, I mean...! Sorry, Lills...

a joke religion called Pieism [...] lobsters [...] are an important part of the afore-mentioned religion
OK, what? I'm not sure if I want to know more, but I'm curious. I mean "pie" and "lobsters" are not something I'd consider went together.
The short answer is that you're right, there's no connection between lobsters and pies other than I find both entertaining, hence they were both included in the religion. From a canonical point of view they are beings created directly by the Pie to protect humanity and are somewhat similar to the function of angels in Christianity, except lobsters have mortal life-spans and many live on Mars. I'll end my off-topic rambling now, but with the final mention that the (slightly-outdated) Pieism website can be found here [http://jojo-pieism.webs.com/] for any readers interested in finding out more.

The handprints are from a vesper service we had at my summer camp. Great service, lots of good memories. And fairly unique, too.

This is my new avatar. My last one had more bold colours and was the cover of Megaman ZX, so it fit the old Escapist design which involved more defined colours.

This one is the cover of the soundtrack "Rockman Zero resonnant vie". I thought that since the new website was more saturated in its coloration that this would fit.

Drew this in about an hour in Ms paint, but I'm getting tired of it now. This is only the first iteration of the symbol I've made, so I'll probably be changing it to a more recent one that I've made.
