Green Plastic SkywalkerThere was a thread similar to this around a while back, but it wasn't as concise as this one.
Anyway, I always find myself wondering why people chose their usernames or avatars, or what they mean, and I always want to ask but there's nowhere to do so. Hence - this thread.

Ce n'est pas DuracellEnergizerUsername : "Duracell" and "Energizer" fused.
Avatar : I always liked how, in the EU, there were multiple lightsaber colours available to darksiders and lightsiders both. When AOTC came out, this cliched "red = bad, blue & green = good" lightsaber colour rule was firmly established and the EU quickly adopted it. I've been pissed off about it ever since. Giving a Nazgul a green lightsaber is my small way of defying the system.
Title : ties into the reasoning behind my avatar.
Signature : relates how the fantards on TF.N will spit on you if you don't allow the thought police to shove the official canon up your ass.
God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

Harmy
This user is offline.
Han D. SoloName: I used to be Lord__Vader (obvious reasons) but when I decided to start releasing my projects, I wanted something more personal, so I asked Jay if he could change it to Harmy (what my homies call me :-D )
Title: Until I recently changed it to "Han D. Solo" (quite crude, I know, but I just like it - and Falcon kinda looks like a hand too) it had been: "I used to be Lord_Vader but now I'm redeemed." For obvious reasons - to avoid confusion after the name change.
Avatar: Well, that's me :-) But it used to be this:

Again, it's quite obvious why :-)
Signature: Used to actually contain a list of my projects with links to their threads but because it somehow kept f*cking up the layout of the forum, I had to find another solution. Anyway, like Frink said: Self-Promotion, Baby :-)

Avatar: Just threw there something, I like classic Star Wars and it's great art. I could change it something but haven't come up with anything cool.
Title: Classic SW again and I think it's a really cool and mythical concept. Also it describes me in many ways.
Signature: Again, threw something. Don't really care what reads there.
