Default Name and avatar...

For those of you curious as to the origins of my name and avatar, My name comes from The Sword of Truth series. Even if you don't like fantasy, I'd probably give this one a go. It's just nice to see a main character that isn't an idiot. I like the fact that he tricks his opponents, rather than rely on luck (seems like a TON of non-fantasy books do this all the time) or deus ex machina (fantasy's answer to luck). I would likely compare him to Sherlock Holmes, only not just BARELY not as smart. Other than that, it's standard fantasy, a bunch of young punks (and a couple of old ones) save the world. Most of the forums I post on have to do with writing, and I use LordRahl86 on most of them to show that I am a fan of Terry Goodkind's work. I use it other places as well so I am recognized.

The same goes for my avatar, only this time, I use it on MMO forums. I don't play those games much anymore, nor do I post on their forums, but I still keep it as my avatar. It's the VT Red Dragon from Kingdom of Drakkar, and I SERIOUSLY doubt any of you have ever heard of that game. I think this is the 8-bit version. Edit: No, that's definately the 16 bit version.

Anyway, that's the story behind my avatar and name. What about yours?

My first name starts with j and my surname is harding. I love Iron Maiden hence the 666.

The story behind my avatar is I haven't been bothered yet to get a picture.

Hey, Bagonirix, I know jharding does, and I know I do, but do you use your PFO name when playing on sites?

My avatar is the Chanel label. The signature symbol comes from Coco Chanel's initials.

My name is my full name. I have 5 names, and technically 6 if you count my biological last name.
