I was having a discussion in chat with prometheusbound about my avatar and the impression it gives. It gave me the idea to start this thread, because I am curious why all of you chose your username and avatar and what it actually says about you.
I understand that mine gives others the impression that I'm trying to be dark and scary, but I don't see it that way. Well, sure it's dark, but I certainly don't think it's scary, lol. To me, it simply tells people that I have an interest in darker things, particularly murder. There is a part of me that is attracted to violence and this is something I like to discuss with others. So, I portray that side of myself in order to attract those who share a similar thought process.
What's your story. Why did you choose the avatar and name you chose? Does it reflect a part of who you are or how you think in some way?
