| Mine is the same SN I use on almost every board. That's part of why I chose it- I wanted something distinctive, easy to remember, and unlikely to ever be used already by an exisiting member. The inherent absurdity of the three headed guardian of hell as a puppy fit this bill, and also seemed a good metaphor for my multifaceted nature.
And it suits my sense of humor. | |
Mine is an evil laugh! Muhahahaha!

| | Mine is the name of one of my D&D characters. He is a fighter/wizard and grew up on a farm (a particular children's song comes to mind). He fights with a scythe because it was the only useful item on the farm he found to use as a weapon. | |
The man who thinks he can, and the man who thinks he can't are both right. Which one are you? | |

Well, I like wolves. Wolfsbane sounded cool, it was already taken so I added my street address, now i use it on every sight as a loggin.
As a side note I guess it was my subconsius working because I had read Narnia as a child, it wasn't til the release of the movie that I realize that wolfsbane was the name given to peter at the end of the movie. Oh well. | |

| I think it was back in 1993 when I first got AOL I used this name as my screen name and have used it for just about everything online since (as well as my email addresses).
TYGR = Tiger (since someone on AOL already had it spelled that way)
Hobbes = As in Calvin & Hobbes
So you basically get the tiger from Calvin & Hobbes. Sometimes I get from people guessing, Tigger and Hobbes, which are both tigers so I guess they are partially right. I'll give you one guess on what my favorite animal is [:)] | |

| | Hougar was my first D&D characters name. He is a Human Assassin that started his career in 1984. His first contract was to "hit" a man that was "Vacationing" on a isolated island far from the mainland. Unfortunately for him it was X1 Isle of Dread. And for those that may not know that Module, Dinosaurs and lvl 1 Assasins do not mix well. Relying on his quick feet and charm with the Natives, he made it off the island to continue his career. He was eventually retired when Third Edition came out, but since then he has been brought back to the World of D&D Minis to strike from the shadows again. | |

One question: Did your character got that relic from the AD&D 2nd edition adventure-campaign module with the same title? | |
