Why did you choose your name and avatar?
I think I made a thread like this AGES ago, or maybe it was in another forum. But yeah, you get the idea:
Why did you choose your forum name, and why did you go with your current avatar? This also makes a fun game for new people who joined the forums recently. It's a chance to get to know people better or something like that. I guess.
As for me, Adelais Aer is my alias and I use it everywhere, really. And my avatar is a picture of me that I ran through photoshop. Contrast up, vibrance down...Voila - The Grudge.

I chose my username because my sister gave me that name when she was still into anime a long time ago. I like the name so I kept it up until now. I use this name everywhere, especially in MMORPG games.
I chose my current avatar because I love the Detective Conan anime.

I actually didn't recognize it as Lucario. o-o; But I do love the stylization - looks very fancy.

Name: I like fire and I couldn't think of anything else. I only use this name for macinsiders and chess.com, meaning I use a different username for everything else.
Picture: I did a 2 minute google search and this is the one I liked.

I love fire. A long time ago I had the lame name of Burning Cross in Japanese, but I realized it had a heavy religious connotation, so I dropped it. And as for your picture, I think that's a brilliant strategy. xD

Name: I had to put something in and wasn't too inclined on using my main alias, so I slapped something together that's a scramble of half of my first name and a pun on fair and a nod to faery.
Um, yeah.
Avatar, couldn't (be bothered to) find anything interesting

You have not answered your own questions, you just explained that you use the same name everywhere, and the picture is you, not explain what said name means or why you distort your image so, you didn't explain anything we could not have inferred. You have failed the thread sir.
name: my name
avatar: random image that represent science with no real purpose

Actually, I explained my name well enough. It's my alias, meaning I am going to use it everywhere, so that's self-explanatory.
As for my picture, I could have provided a proper reason for it, I admit. But I have not failed my own thread, thanks.
