Yes, I read up a lot about this particular compound before I was sure it was going to use it as my knight's name.

But enough about me. Everyone share!

My first forum avatar was a blue ghost block. At the time, I barely saw any one with it as their avatar. So I chose it. Later on, it popped up in more places, so I got the blue divine set avatar. Turned out I liked it's look more than the box.

My username was chosen by my mom, believe it or not. Long ago, when I was a wee boy, I played club penguin. My mom came up with Artistbma for my username, since at the time, I drew a lot of pictures. It just stuck. And it's been my username ever since.

My username, forum avatar and account on SK have very dark roots and are very representative of my mental state at the time I started playing here. I never played on fighting sites. I was living a good life and usually played on fashion sites, farming sites, non-violent kid sites and places where the primary play was building or creating things. Many of which were social based with very active forums and in some cases the forum was tied to the game play. I almost always used the user names Iammeme and Iamtherealmeme. Then things in real life began to rapidly fall apart. As things in life fell apart so did friendships and relationships in life and online. There was a shift in games occurring. I went to Runescape and did a short period on Minecraft if you consider that fighting or killing. I started running from those online relationships gone bad and sites reminding me of things going bad. Then the day came when I was thrown the line, "I just want to be friends." POP!!! All I wanted to do was kill things. The shift continued and I didn't want to be friends with anyone. I didn't want to talk to anyone. All I wanted to do was to kill and beat or blow things up. I started playing the Torture Games and on other sites, that if mentioned might earn me a ban here, and I came here with the user name Iamnoone as in I'm nothing, not worth talking to, don't talk to me and leave me the F alone. Many people here got that and said things to me like you'll never make friends with a name like that or that's kind of a negative name, isn't it? My avatar, I too wanted one others weren't using but mine had nothing to do with the gear I was wearing. When I first saw it, I thought it looked like a mean, angry fish ready to bite your head off or eat you entirely. It was perfect for the mind set. I can't remember the last time I felt the need to cut things with a chainsaw, razor blade or burn someone's skin off but SK stuck. It's become my 1st and favorite site and one I log on to and play everyday. I love the game and have made many friends here. I think I found the best and friendliest guild to be part of. Mentally I have shifted back. Now it's more about building an amour/helms collection and weapons arsenal, gaining strength/skill and fighting with and helping guildies and noobs.

I chose my NEW avatar because 1) It was the first 5* gear I crafted 2) it was the first armor I ever had (I started from the skelly suit) 3) I tend to see almost no one in game use the dread set.

My username is from the fact that I like the whole Kaiju thing but secondly because I tend to stand out among people in-game and out so it just fit.

I tend to not stand out because of size but because of sound, I tend to be very loud at times, or talk a lot in game.

True enough, i got the name from tf2. It reminds me of shooting taunters in the knee with a fire arrow. I haven't decided my avatar, cuz I can't think of a good 1. If you help me find a good 1, ill give u 2k crownz. im not joking

The avatar? Oh, my guild aura is fire. It's the only one that isn't wolver and I actually own the hat.

As for the name, that goes a ways back. I made a robot out of Legos. (It was sorta like a transformer thing. You could fold it up and it became a car.) I wanted to start the name with something that was car related, and Auto sounded the best. I forget where the fire came from, but I think it came from it was supposed to be able to shoot really fast? I forget. When you put them together you get Autofire. Anyway it was my favorite thing I made for a long time, but then it got smashed or something. I forget what happened.

But anyway, I got an account on the Lego site, and after thinking a lot I chose Autofire for a name. That went over to other sites and it went on and on and on. Now I use it everywhere. (Though I use Speedy sometimes, but not often. I lol'd when I tried it on the Lego site. It wasn't allowed cause, well, remove the 'S' and the 'dy') It was only till much later that I learned autofire could mean rapid action. I laughed so hard when I found that out. So now I just use the name that belonged to my long lost Lego robot and also that belongs to a typically game related term.

The end. Wait, I just turned this into a story! *facepalms* And I typed a semi-wall-of-text. *COMBO FACEPALM*

Have you ever saw anyone uses this avatar besides me? Thats why.

Anyhow, I'm posting avatarless because there were no avatars that interested me. The chatter is over here anyway, so I couldn't care less about silly pictures.

My Avatar~ I liked the blue and yellow combination plus the culet and the spiral tailed helm are very chic. I have blue eyes and my own eyes are slightly similar to the avatars.

My Name~ I wanted something with the letters A, Z, L, & E. The name "Azalea" (a flower) was aready taken so I just added an extra "L"

Teqnologyque, if you haven't figured it out, is a phonetic corruption of the word "Technologic" (Pronounced the same way too). I'm a bit of a tech-head, and my friends just ended up calling me 'Tech', even now I'm still working with computers most of the day, and even amateur IT when I can. The name just kinda stuck with me, I guess.
I arrived at the conclusion of corrupting the word when I needed a unique username that could immediately identify me in the community. That and the two other names I've gone by are 1. Not fit for polite conversation, and 2. Kind of an obscure Gaelic word that nobody would recognize (unless they can speak Gaelic, or are familiar with the language), thus the novelty of it would wear off quickly...

As for the Avatar? It's an aspiration. Something to remind me of what I'm aiming for. Plus; It's just a slick looking suit of armour.

"That's a hilarious name; I love it. Try a bush avatar; it'll improve your image. ;)"

Meeeh. I like not having a picture. Easier to find my comments while scrolling and it looks neater in my opinion.
(Also, your comments can never be as thin as this!)

The story behind my username are taken deep back to my dark, gloomy past.

I was once a boy that had everything in his life. A boy, who is kept safe from the slum of the city. I was groomed every morning by my mother. She have a pair of smooth hands to caress me went I needed comfort. She took care of me when I fall ill. She nurtured me as her garden. But now, everything is gone. What have I done to make her furious? She dispose me like a pair of broken shoes. Left to die, here, at the outside world. I was running through a field of insults. Why? Is it because I was born noble? Is it because I was clean and they are dirty? Is it because I have tasted the apple of luxury? I was treated like a foul swine. A mongrel mutt. The black sheep of the herd. I was there, shedding my heart-broken tears, all alone. I had to steal from the rich and the poor just to feed myself. Sharing is a sin in this part of the city. After years had passes, I came back to my once called home. I still remembers the Gold Gate. I tried to peek at my home. Oh, Lord. Is this is what I'm seeing? Doth mine eyes play tricks on me? A river of tears flows from my eyes. I was struck by both anger and sorrow. " Here lies Mariah Sue Dorothy. "She had always loved her son,Rossy." 20.2.1964 - 30.4.1989". As I cried and cried, a hand shines infront of me. I wipe my tears to hide my sadness. I tilt my head upward to see a face of a beautiful maiden. She mumbled her soothing voice, asking me if I am Rossanavan Dorothy. I answered a yes. She smiled and asked me to follow her home. Home... It's been a while since I got home. As I reached her home, she told me that I should make myself at home. I was uncomfortable because I had never felt home for a long time. As I ready myself for dinner, I saw a picture of me and my mother. Nostalgia pinched me on the cheek. I smiled and shed a tear. Dinner was wonderful. The food had never tasted better then before. She told me to taste the wine. It's a millennia-old wine. A one of it kind! I said,"Wonderful!". And then everything was pitch black. My head is all sore and aching as hell. Where am I? ....Am I alone? ....Are these tears enough for me to take comfort in? ....Why did all of this had to happen? All I was in was a dark room. An endless path. An abyss of loneliness. Nothing to comfort me. Nothing to keep me company. Nothing to hold all of these tears..... What is happiness? Is it permanent? Is it worth the sacrifice? Happiness is Sorrow.

TL:DR
I hit my head on a bottom of a ditch when I was 4 years-old. I'm silly.

My username is pretty simple, I first used it when I was playing Pokemon a lot, and named it after a pokemon I discovered when trying to get past an ice gym. However, "Houndoom" was taken so I just threw "wars" at the end. I've used it ever since as it's easy to remember and never taken.

My avatar (or lack thereof) is reflective of my love of privacy. And the fact that I can't figure out how to make one

I liked Klondike bars so I tried rearranging the letters of Klondike, and I got Koldeik. I didn't like that so I remove the EIK. Kold was pretty cool, but I wanted to replace the beginning of the word, and I thought SP sounded perfect. People think it's because I like old spuds though.

I chose my avatar because my favorite monster is a quicksilver, and this was the closest thing I had to it.

I use this screen name in pretty much every game ive ever played for as long as i can remember. Its derived from the concept of "alchemy". A practitioner of this is called an "alchemist" and the process is "alchemic". Of course this being a screen name i had to swap letters out to give it a lil pizazz and ended up with "AlKemiK". Which in turn seems pretty fitting for this game ;p

As far as the avatar goes, since u cant use your actual toon n i didnt want to use a generic knight image, i picked the gremlin cause it was the most visualy pleasing to me since red, black, white, n grey are may favorite colors, and gremlins amuse me.

On a funny side note, i used to play another game and befriended a player named "bloodstone" (aka "philosiphers stone") which coincidently has to do with alchemy as well and we became fast friends, then i later found spiral knights and fell in love with the gameplay and talked my friend into an exidous with me to this game and here we are almost a year later still playing sk :)

My pic is because I have the default armor and I'm vangaurd.
