Why Did You Choose That Username And/Or That Avatar (Or No Avatar At All)?

[Deleted member 5760]

Username - well because basically all superheros are full of adrenalin aren't they? And they like to help.

Avatar - my usual one is my 'superjen' costume. But I just changed it to a real picture of ME. Just felt like being me for a few days. I'll switch back to superhero (?) mode soon enough.

After the upgrade, the enlarged avatar that I chose just didn't work for me. It was too 2D and flat so I started looking for a new avatar. After a few changes, I think that I like this one. I decided that I wanted something to cheer me up, be more positive, and ground me a little.

My new avatar is a photo if myself holding my Cinnamon Ringneck Dove, Papa. We rescued him about six years ago, and after 5 years of trying, Papa finally lets me hold him in my hands. I feel at peace after seeing this photo and it was a significant accomplishment for me.

Because I am death... the reaper of souls... it is my passion, not just my job!

 

[AdamAnt]

[anthony]

Still curious as to how he has teeth.... ;)

 

[ISupportHer]

What's that smell?

Oh, it's the smell of Death.

:eek:

OK, I've run out of death jokes.

We could nick name him Do Do, as in "Dead As A Do Do" LOL

Very funny Amethist.

I will be watching you from now on.

 

[mdewakan]

My username is Mdewakan. I am part Dakota and it means lake of the spirit.
Mdewakan is the name of a sacred lake or lakes that figures prominently in Lakota/Dakota creation stories. The lake is considered sacred because the Dakota people emerged from it as human beings into this world. There is also a story about a warrior that overturned his canoe in the lake and never was found. The waters are used for healing.
Plus, no one has this username! My avatar is a picture of me transformed by an art style. It's works perfectly!

 

[PerfectEmpire]

My username was actually a CAPTCHA code I had to enter in order to register for something online. It was love at first sight. I was very outwardly successful but there was a sort of dark, sinister undercurrent to that success. And I thought that PerfectEmpire was a name that would convey that.

My current avatar is from the cover of the U2 album Zooropa. It is a sad, forgotten astronaut but also appears to be the face of a baby (Track 2 - Babyface) appearing from inside a TV. The image conveys isolation and/or derealization. The face appears expressionless, or numb (Track 3 - Numb) and is surrounded by extremes and chaos (shutting down from over-stimulation). I thought this would be the perfect avatar for me since I was first traumatized as a baby, and Zooropa happens to be one of my favorite U2 albums!

 

[rpgamber]

my username... rpgamber.... rpg because I am always playing rpg's on 360, on computer, on table top, etc. (I'm a little bit of a gamer nerd.)
amber, because, that's the short version of my name.

My latest avatar represents the Spirit Of Yule. ( Or the Holly King)

Yule being celebrated between the 20th and 23rd of December. The middle of the dark and cold days of winter and gives us a glimpse of lighter and longer days with the promise of new beginnings in spring, which is now just round the corner.

The longer days being more noticeable for January 6th onwards.
