Mine is currently Doji Kurohito, the first Crane Clan Champion to survive the end of a story arc... It's there because the art looks nice, and I like the Crane.

So like nearly a saint because I have been living on a mountain and only having to be forced to listen through a total of 12 episodes of it. :D

I chose my avatar before my name. The picture is "Atomic Annie", a 280mm nuclear artillery cannon, being test fired in Nevada in May 1953. The code name for that test was "upshot knothole".

Mine is the Moose backed by the Moose-symbol (avoiding all Batman copyright problems) on the Moon. It's source is my computer and it's meaning is either that I have a problem or am madder than a bat in a U-boat.

To the contrary, it's eminently possible. I had no idea at all what they looked like prior to now. I have seen all of three or four episodes of Voyager (season 1), the first two and a couple of others, but I have almost completely forgotten them anyway.

As for where my avatar comes from, it's the red dragon unit from the turn-based fantasy strategy game Age of Wonders, one of the best games of the genre ever. I had originally intended to use the demon unit, and some might remember how I had it for a very, very short while, but alas, it was too dark for all but one of the board schemes and didn't show properly. :( Therefore I chose the dragon, because dragons are my favorite fantasy creature, and given the Imperial bent of the site, I chose red dragon instead of the all-too-noble gold dragon. Took me long enough to decide on the avatar in the first place, so I'm not changing it in a hurry either. If I do, expect some other creature from one of AoW's versions.

I figured I needed an avatar, and I keep my silver age and other favorite comics displayed on my computer desk at home... so I scanned the cover for Blade of the Immortal #1. The guy's name is Manji, and he's the main character in the Blade of the Immortal series.
