The etymology of my moniker... well, it's the main character in my favorite Tolkien Tragedy: The Tale of the Children of Hurin. Most people already know that. If not:

The name Turin means "he who desires mastery" and Turambar means roughly "master of fate." So the name seemed to fit well into the Grand Lord/take-over-the-universe thing.
My avatar is a Common Mode transcription of the name in tengwar letters. I pasted it into MS Paint and put some color behind it, then had DEG do his magical frame/lightsource thingy to it.
My Empire's name, Aa' Turam, is just a play on the roots of the Sindarin, as is the name of its citizens; the Tura'amni.
In Eru's Name, MayYourSunsShineForever
Turin Turambar
Grand Lord of the Tura'amni
