Nova,

Hey, us birds need to hang together! Then again, with you being a duck, and me being an eagle, your life might be cut a little short if I get hungry.

I adopted my avatar to go along with my shapechanging character on the Here be Dragons game. That brings me to a related question. We've talked about posters who "look like" their avatars. How about posters who "look like" their RPG characters? Sometimes, when I'm playing with someone in a game, their character rings a bell in my head and, ever after, character and person are synonymous.

I've played in several games with Nurumaiel as a young hobbit. Every time I see a post from Nuru, I have an image of a young hobbit girl in my head, even though she bears an Elvish name. No matter what I do, no matter how many other stories we play in, that image sticks.

The same goes for Piosenniel . Whatever description she may give on this thread, I'm quite sure that in some other dimension she looks and acts exactly like her Elvish character Pio, complete with throwing knives tucked into her boots. The same goes for Mithadan and his character in the Star series.

Fordim, you had the good fortune to play in Land to Call Their Own. Well, you may play in a million games after this, but you'll always be "Fordogrim" to me: the stubborn, irascible, but always loveable senior citizen Hobbit!

Aman, like it or not, you are the proprietor of the Green Dragon Inn. You ride a wicked horse and toss out rowdy patrons when needed with aplomb!

I could go on with this, but you get the idea....
