Name:I was playing Final Fantasy VI at the time and Kefka is my favorite villain.

Avatar:I want something Kefka related to go with the name so I found cartoonized versions of Sephiroth and Kefka and photoshopped them together

My name is my online name in most places. Its part of my y2khai fanboyism. My pic shows my love of servbots which I first heard of in dead rising, my favorite game of all time. It has a pineapple in it too, but only the cool kids know what that's about.

My name comes from an old world of warcraft undead rogue i used to play that ended up becoming an online handle or username for many things simply because i liked the name itself and it stuck with me, not to mention people having called me 'Gral' or 'Gralian' over skype or msn, and as i got used to being deferred to as such, i ended up treating it similarly to my name in real life - just my name online.

My avatar is a little bit hard to explain. I don't even know what it is or where i got it, but i just... like it. I feel it reflects me, or my mental state(?) or perhaps the enigmatic nature of my different personalities. I'd go into it in a bit more detail in an effort to explain it, but i can't be bothered and i don't want to be called a crackpot, so i'll just leave it at that. It's sort of like a governing deity or representation of what it's like to feel like your body is host to different... people. The reflection of an alternate world, or something not really explained by words.

I stole my name from a character in the Codex Alera series. I love the character, he's not really good or evil, he just fights for what he believes in at the time.

My picture is of my favorite character period, Harry Dresden, from the book series, The Dresden Files.

Both series are written by Jim Butcher, and you can probably guess he's my favorite author in the world.

Because it's a long running username and I needed a more unique picture so I'm using my favourite character from a manga.

My skills at Megaman X/Zero have been described as "machine-like". Hence the name.

As for the picture, I switch every now and then, so right now it's simply because that's a cool picture of Zero and X.

Me and a few friends used to be Verns 1-8 on Runescape. That was a very long time ago. I've just carried the name with me since then.

I was trying to get an Avatar of Vault boy sitting in a lawn chair and completely on fire (literally). But I couldn't figure out where to find that avatar again so I just stuck with Classic Vault Boy. Yay, Fallout!

I've been using this username forever, LK stands for various things and... uh, artillery. Because.

And I like Digimon. This icon is pretty much me at the computer, all the time.

It's one of 2 usernames I always use when oneline.
As for my Avatar, it's Shenron, the Eternal Dragon of Earth from Dragon Ball. I like Shenron, because he's mystical and awesome.

name :My original screen name for everything was "I Am Bored" because it took me forever to find something that wasn't taken and I got bored. Then somehow I got the nick-name of "The Trumpet Dragon" in high-school (yes I was in band). So I figured I would combine them to make a more original name :p

pic: I was hungry and realized I didn't have an avatar pic

My name is from my gamertag, Rough Sausage, and I had chosen that because I have soft hands. My picture is the Greek symbol Pi because I love maths, and I thought an avatar reflecting that would be appropriate.

I read Time Enough for Love around the time I started having any kind of online presence, and Lazarus is so drop-dead awesome that I had to appropriate his name. As for the pic, that would be an ecumenical matter.
That was the single, greatest comment on all of teh internets.
