About my username: It all started with me wanting to come up with a female name that didn't include any a's or e's. I soon settled for "Miyu" because it sounds kinda like "Mew", which is one of my favorite Pokémon. The problem was that Miyu was often taken when signing up for different online services or MMO's and I didn't like adding some numbers to the end of my name. So I eventually decided to add the "ron" part, taking inspiration from feminine names that end in -on like "Sharon", "Alison" or "Marion".

My avatar is Gabranth from Final Fantasy XII. His armor design is the greatest ever. Period. Oh, and he is my husbando.

Signatures are overrated.

My forum username was thought up by Hank on the Fan-Ball wiki for on-site story purposes. It stems from the abbreviation "LAT", which originally referred to "look-a-troopa" but by now it's lost a lot of its meaning and evolved into the nickname "LATitude", by which I go in some places.
Avatar is a sprited representation of "Ryuko LAT", drawn by Specterbird. The character portrayed is essentially my obligatory "internet persona".
The quote in my signature is there and I don't know why I put it there.

I wonder if there's a way to align your signature like this...

shruggo might as well say a thing here hello
uhhh for a while I've been going as KittenEater, for the past like 6 years? Something like that, yeah. And one of my friends shortened it to "Kitet" as a nickname and I liked it enough to somehow subconsciously accept it and now it's slowly but surely replacing my old username even though it's just shorthand for that username... "Kitet" is also just less likely to already be taken on sites too, so it started off as my second choice if KittenEater was taken.

My avatar is a bee I made for a pixel contest that runs on tumblr.

The current quote in my signature is from Earthbound, I'm not sure why I put it there lol
the other stuff is just links and other tiny pixels i made

that's it

iirc I started a thread for it back when the kickstarter was going on. It waits only for the game to release, and then it will have a beautiful update~

I just chose a random animal I liked for my username and mixed the two words around. The avatar followed (even though I'm pretty sure it's not a nurse shark) and everything is silly.

At this point i dont remember where the qaz came from since i have had that part of the name since 2006 but i think i just combined it with cake because i was hungry.

I got the burger cake on a random image search since i figured i do what i did with my skype picture and put a picture of a cake.

I have no sig but i really should get one.

I honestly have no idea how I thought of my name.
I made my avatar myself, and I'm pretty proud of it.
I wrote my signature myself in the style of something raocow *might* say.

Many usernames I have had over the years.

The very first one that I can remember using was on the Lego message boards as a wee child, then I was super into cars especially the Carrera GT so I went with thecgtdriver for a while. Then I was super into the two Suzuki concepts in Gran Turismo 4, so I changed it to GSX-R/4S2 which is absolutely lovely to remember to type. Then I migrated to the Mario wiki place and sought out something to be easier to remember, and at the time I was writing some Paper Mario fanfiction where the main antagonist was Mr. L along with equivalent versions of all the rest of the behatted bros and according princesses that were collectively named the Negative Squad, and I used that as my name. Then I got kinda tired of that-ish and was into Animal Crossing at the time and thought Gyroids were the coolest things ever so I changed it to Gyroid X. And then I was all thinking of something a bit nicer in text and decided to make something of a pen name, Gyra deriving from the previous as something I thought sounded name-ish, Solune being a nifty portmanteau of words relating to the sun and moon, and I felt it was pleasant to the eyes and ears so it has stuck the longest.

And my avatar is a thing I drew myself, a side profile for Ilivais X, the main character's giant robot in a story of mine entitled the same. It's all crazy and physics breaking and has a perpetual energy generator on its back and this leads to MUCH DRAMA. Of course more commonly on the internet as in say, Skypehaus my icon is a white haired lady on a blue background with a big black and white sword and that is also something I drew myself, an Original Character Do Not Steal named Geneva who is super angsty and regretful and tries to murder multidimensional gods which is something very in place in its planned origin, a Mario themed Zelda Classic game.

Username: I already told it. Oh! Did I mention it's sorta like this: Everytime I heard Fiora (yeah, I'm playing LoL) said 'En Garde', it hit me when I'm playing Pokemon Flora Sky (the hack) at the time that my Gardevoir (and of course the team) grew stronger. That 'sword fighting' quote and that Pokemon combined harmoniously. Thus, this username became intact in my head.

Avatar: Got it from bulbapedia

Sig: ...is a mess.
