Hi everyone.

My name is Georgi and I used to be a citizen here ages ago until I had to deal with some stuff IRL and suddenly vanished off the face of the TarValon.Net world. I was in high school back then. I apologise for disappearing and hope I have matured somwhat in the intervening years.

As for the questions prposed, my opinions may have changed a little:
1. Siuan is without a doubt one of the mose dedicated characters I have come across and I very much like her for that.
2. I honestly do not remember how I did. That was literally ages ago. :)
3. I am an interpreter and an adjunct at one of Sofia's universities.
4. I am from Bulgaria so I speak Bulgarian. I speak English, too, and I am currently working on my Spanish. I really need some practice with the latter though.
5. I have taken to poetry quite a bit lately. I cannot say I have a favourite author per se but I do enjoy young poet Blake Campbell's poetry. He is not super popular or anything but has a wonderful piece called 'Bioluminescence'.

Please, do ask in case any questions crop up. Thanks for reading.

PS I will try to find my old avatar for continuity's sake but it might take some time.

Hello, fellow Bulgarian!

I am sorry, I do not remember if we met last time you joined, but I am glad you have decided to come back! :D

Are you excited about the upcoming WoT tv show?

Hi, Ilverin Sedai,
I believe we have met though I do confess I am rather bad with names and the like.

I have always been very invested in WoT so I love the idea of having a TV show. I am cautiously optimistic as regards the Amazon/Sony production and I try to been as open-minded as possible as announcements come in. It is another turning of the Wheel, as Rafe pointed out. :)

Welcome back to TarValon.net! :D Whether you want to find your old avatar or use a new one, it's okay either way. You only need permission to change avatars once you're a novice/recruit or higher.

Welcome back! I have found your old avatar, but I am looking for a bigger version so I can edit a 200x200 version for you to fit our new format. :)

Hmm I'm not having any luck finding the full size version. Here is your avatar in the old format:

I'll keep looking! Maybe someone else will have better luck finding it, or maybe @Alexstrasza Ruskea wants to give it a go. :)

It seems to be an alternate portrait for Kivan from the Baldur's Gate games, but I haven't been able to find it on DeviantArt or Google using those keywords.

I've found this, which makes it seem like perhaps the original image was only 110x170 to begin with: https://www.gibberlings3.net/gallery/image/595-mdruid2-druid-with-face-paint/

But, the preview was larger here: https://www.gibberlings3.net/gallery/album/34-geomantic-sorcerer/

... and it doesn't blow up too badly, so you can try this if you like. After all, our avatars display at 125x125 unless you click on them for the larger version.

Otherwise, there are lots of similar pics that have larger versions if you image search for Kivan.

Thank you, everyone, and I do apologise for the delay in responding. I am beyond grateful that you have gone to all this trouble just so you can help me with my avatar issues. :) TarValon.Net felt like a home back in the day and I am so happy that it has kept its wonderful air of hospitality.

As for the avi itself, I wanted to keep it as a sort of a continuity thing, a bridge of sorts, between my time here about 7 or 8 years ago (was it?) and my return. I am very happy to be back.
