My avatar is a cut from a planet in my now abandoned The Solar System game.

Here's the picture it's taken from:

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

LoZ is one of the best video game series of all time.

And it's Ganon, so why not?

My avatar came from here with use of printscreen and paint.

My user name is my  real name (which is translated to John so Janek would be equivalent of Johnny) with extra letter on end (because its almost always taken without it).

Mine is a crop from Nick Deligaris's "Draconis Polaris". His website is NSFW last time I checked, but his deviantart should be fine.

My old one was from Kerem Beyit's "Red". He's a good artist, mostly does digital art, he's done a few things for several companies, including WotC, Blizzard, SOE, and LucasArts. I want to see what he's done for Blizzard and LucasArts, he hasn't put those ones up on his website or on his deviantart.

Benevolence is a general idea I try to incorporate as I play DF, primarily in the form of (eventually) giving the dwarves very good homes, and I thought it was a decent enough name. And I didn't want to recycle the name that means "sadist" this time.

My avatar is a white lotus flower, which is a symbol of purity.

The two also combine to form a vague reference to a character from a game I have yet to play, which was also a factor in deciding on them.

Benevolence? Here? What utter blasphemy!

Mine is the alias of one of the Pendle witches. Despite it being an alias for a woman, and I'm a dude, I took it on anyway because she was awesome.

As for my avatar, vikings are awesome.

I've always used "Lord Dakoth" as a name for video game characters.

My (current) avatar is a dwarf that I made in Spore. (It is also my avatar in Spore, and my Spore username is Lord_Dakoth. Talk about original.)

Expanding on my previous shout of FORUM MADNESS!  I was once Muffles, but during the rash of namechanging on April Fools, probably a year ago, maybe two even, I changed my name to Cthulhu and a forum glitch made it impossible to change back.  Now I'm Cthulhu.

Was this during the "everyone changing their name to 'Toady One' " thing?

Because I'm pretty sure that's why the namechanging option was disabled.

You can get Toady to change it.

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

Yeah, but we can't get him to change it to "Toady One".
