ok - my nickname stands for "mýválek královny Melian" which means a little racoon of queen Melian.
once on a summer camp, I was plaing an elven queen for children, and I got named Melian...one evening, my friend decided to make me beautiful (really important evening for the camp) and put "a bit" of some golden powder on my face - i looked like a golden racoon...
but anyway - she tried to improve it - then i looked like a crying racoon...
that's YOUR opinion...

Mine's a variation on "Seth" with is a variation of "Set" who was the Ancient Egyptian god of Evil. I just used it as a character name for a necromancer and it's kinda stuck. Now I use it for most of my profiles anywhere.
My Avatar is Qui Gon Jin because I like Star Wars, and some of the extrapolation of Jedi philosophy is very interesting. Also he's the best Jedi since ROTJ.
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

The name 'roarfire' just came to me randomly when I was sitting by the computer. I thought 'hey that's kinda cool' so I changed it.
My old username was silly, and it reminds me of bad times let's not go there!
And, I love tigers. I use that picture for most sites

Yes Mynci, I love Egyptian Mythology, Roman Mythology, Greek Mythology, Celtic mythology and more or less anything else. I'd like to take this opportunity to say you have the unconditionally best avatar I have ever seen.
Yay for the Ankh of red doomness!

Damn you, I just Lost by reading that and remembering what the Evil Sethis did.
My name was orginally "pink poi" (guess why...(!))
Then I got bored, as I didn't only do poi so I shortened it to Pink... ? For two reasons;
1) Someone else had the name Pink
2) I was going to add something after but didn't know what so left it hanging till i thought of something. I still haven't thought of anything
My Avatar - Is my Pink Dragon. Who is male. And called... Dragon. When I saw him, It was love at first sight.

My avatar comes from the anime series Bleach, and its a picture of Ichigo the soul reaper.

And my avatar: Well, I span fire at Burning Man in 2002 and that's a pic from there and then.

My name comes from one of the most common phrases that I use "Oh F***Sake". I just took the first letters of each word and looked for something to fit to them that wouldn't get me banned in no time.
