Explain thy avatar!

I don't feel like searching the thread to see if I've answered this before, but my Avatar has probably changed anyway.

Its the Vitruvian Man as part of a clockwork mechanism.  The idea was to combine "Renaissance" with "Steampunk" and relates to Avayevnon, the first setting I posted here.

Mine is because my friends call me wolfy or wolverine.... there are some other reasons but i'll let it like that :)

[Rhamnousia]

Mine is an icon of Saint Christopher, an example of the ancient weirdness I like so much.

[Elemental_Elf]

Ken Masters, the greatest Street Fighter to have ever lived. He's performing two of his iconic moves - the flaming Shoryuken and the hurricane kick.

Mine is, well, Captain Crunch holding d20s instead of crunch berries. There was a time I was known as Kaptain Krunch, for my proficiency with, and joy of playing with, game crunch.

One of the more memorably stupid banner ads to show up was some dating site (presumably mostly for Arabs) that said "Find your Arab princess."

It was something of a meme in the chat for a little while, and it's why Jasmine is my avatar.

The short answer is: It's a d20 with big pointy teeth... Just something I drew in Gimp.

Here's the long story:

I created a website some time back, which I'm still sorta waiting on developers for, but essentially, I wanted it to be a community of geeks...

The whole things started with my own small group of players. We used a CMS called E107 for a website (think WordPress or Joomla, if you don't know what a CMS is). Griznuq.com is where we kept our game related info in a forum... Game logs, in character discussions, campaign related info like house rules, etc... It's been invaluable.

So I got to thinking, I'm sure there are tons of folks who would love to have a system like that to keep track of their games, but don't have the resources or knowledge, so I could create a forum for them to do exactly that. So I started putting it all together, but needed a name.

I didn't want it to be specific to any one type of game and really, I'm not going to require that anyone actually PLAY anything... I really just kinda wanted to bring a bunch of like minded folk together, RPG players, or otherwise... So I shot a little broader than "RPG player" and went for "Geek".

Well, what screams geek louder than Monty Python? I named the site "Big Pointy Teeth". (dot net) My avatar sort of bridges the gap between the "Geek" term and RPG. (being a D20, and all...)

[Tzi]

Stephanie Brown, I.E. Spoiler, Batgirl and Girl Robin.

A personal favorite character in comics. She is by far one of my favorite characters. So I just roll with it.

My new avatar for the present is of the horned Celtic god Cernunnos.

It is now a flail snail.  I think it's the picture from the Fiend Folio.

So be it. Though I stand in the wrong hemisphere, in the morn I shall stand and deliver, should their honor permit them to confront me directly.

Or something.
