Topic: Explain your avatars and user names, signatures...

[VladCT]

Any special plans for your 1000th post, Vlad?

Nope, nada. In fact I just wasted it on this. lol

[X]

As some of the dungeonites here already know, I chose my user name after Capcom's Mega Man X. It started as an artistic sig for my art long before I was even part of the CV forums so I kinda just stuck with it. For me, it's simple yet cool-sounding. This simple letter of the alphabet has become a favorite. I don't have an avatar as I've yet to figure out how to put one in (not sure about size ratio and all that jazz). Of course it's the same issue with trying to put up an image on a thread without having to link to another website and such. And finally I chose my signature as being a quote from Elbert Einstein and his views on how we can even remotely try to view God, and still come a way with little to almost no understanding about Him/Her.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Well, my username translates to white bat and my avatar is a white bat (well, it's Soma's bat form from DoS).
The Honduran white bats are really cute. I didn't know that such bats existed until after I researched on white bats after beating AoS the first time.

Oh and for my current signature, aside from the links to my translations, is a part of the lyrics to a Japanese anime song titled "Maji Love 2000%" that is from the show Uta no Prince-sama. Yup, I am currently so into this show...

[Bloodreign]

Username: means nothing, could be an homage to Slayer, who knows.

Sig: link to Retroreality forums, mainly for classic gaming.

Avatar: my favorite game making company of all time, also had one of the best game musician groups in the business with Zuntata.

[A-Yty]

Avatar is Soma fan art. I added a slight glow animation to the eyes, which is virtually invisible because of avatar restrictions. I don't remember who made that piece, which is a shame. I picked it, because it is one of the coolest works I've seen, fan art or otherwise. If anyone recognizes the artist, tell me. He or she deserves the credit.

Sigs speak for themselves. Silly pictures I made years ago and kept them. I don't know why. It wasn't exactly a meticulous scientific process. Medusa Heads are signature CV enemies and the world "seal" got me thinking of..well, seals and Seal. Also, to bait people into clicking those links.

[Nail_Bombed]

Av: Fairly obvious what that is, just the end title pic of Portrait Of Ruin inverted to have the batwings the right way up (and also the cross upsidedown, natch).

Sig: Just something I found funny about a Bioshock meme.

Username: I've had this username for ages across many boards. Eventually it evolved into being my metal DJ name for all of 4 years. Comes from the sideproject of Max Cavalera from Sepultura, called Nailbomb.

Nailbomb Wasting Away

[Chernabogue]

Username: used for ages and from this


Avatar: I need to explain?

[Aridale]

Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9...

According to the Anti-Chapel, it was drawn by "AttansRabarber." I tried looking on his/her DeviantArt page but it's currently inactive. His/her gallery can be viewed here.

[Successor The Cruel]

Oh, I remember her. She was a member of the Anti-Chapel forum way long ago (meeeemorieees). She's a really good artist.

[uzo]

Name? It's a very old name. One of the earliest I've used on the net. UZO stands for Unit Zero Omega as a reference to Megaman X's Zero.

Avatar is currently Hazama from the recent fighting game BlazBlue. He is the smooth criminal, the trickster, and the final boss of the second game. It use to be Simon Belmont as pictured in the signature. The signature is something I made using the Kojima art. There hasn't been any Castlevania art recently of that caliber to update it with, so it's been there a while.

A full body picture of Hazama.

EDIT: Oh wait, I did change from Hazama. I wrote this post without even thinking. I forgot all about it!

I'm now sporting William A. Zeppeli from the series JoJo's Bizzare Adventure. It is one of the best anime/mangas of all time. Worth a read/watch for sure. The anime is ongoing. Zeppeli is a master of the ripple technique, born in Italy.

Will A. Zeppeli as seen in the 2012 anime.

[Abnormal Freak]

Bleh, well...

When I first registered for the Dungeon, I used the name castlevania_freak, which was also my email login. Wasn't long until I registered Abnormal Freak, and I registered a myriad of other "Freak"s as well. Which is probably why everyone at ICVD just calls me Freak, whereas almost everywhere else I'm addressed by the full name, Abnormal, or Ab(s).

Avatar y'all know, and I lubz her.

And meat&soda. The girly is Punk Giana from Giana Sisters DS.

[TheouAegis]

Theou: Greek possessive of "god". (In other words, it means "god's".)
Aegis: Greek, a shield cover.
Thus, Theou Aegis = God's shield cover. ... Something like that.
Origin: Diablo II Smite-adin Bnet name.

Avatar (current): Pinkamena Diane Pie
Relevance: Of course none of you would know...
Previous avatar: Medusa Head

Signature: just some stupid joke that popped into my head.

[PyramidHead]

Avatar is Simon's Quest's Simon. Nickname is PyramidHead from Silent Hill. Love the guy.

[Mooning Freddy]

I'm using the Freddy Krueger name and avatar for a while. Used other nicks before but wasn't satisfied with them.
Freddy Krueger is an awesome nick on the dungeon because the original CV was based on classic horror movie monsters, and Freddy is one of the "new" horror movie villains. He's an awesome character because he's both sadistic and cynical; And he murders annoying teenagers, which is great.

The mooning makes sure nobody takes me too seriously.

The sig is an awesome quote from "Schindler's list".

@UZO

Damn man, I always thought your name is a reference to Ouzo, you know, like the anise-based Greek liquor. (which is a really good liquor)
