Yes, but you got my hopes up with your post about how to check the Userp page for a possible signature...

User title: Catchy. I'm sure your avatar is the one delivering that line. You get a 7.
Avatar: Are those fangs? She looks kind of creepy and cute at the same time. That's a 7 as well.
Signature: I never understood any of it.   It's confusing: 3

There is indeed a story behind it. There once was a great game...which got a mediocre but still fun sequel, of which I happened to play the English demo of. The demo consisted of the first chapter which had you picking up the new courtmage from the city gates, and escort her to the castle. You could of course explore all the districts and see what you could do, which is what I ended up doing in the end. Long story short, I absolutely loved the oriental accent of the courtmage, and I ended up buying the game. Sadly, the version I got was the German version, and as it happens so often, the voice actor did not bother reproducing the lovely accent and spoke high German.
Nevertheless, I still fondly remember that lovely accent of the English demo. The court mage in question was called Jazhara of Kesh, and that is where my name is from (I just like the number 7. I have yet to find a forum where someone has already chosen "Jazhara" as a username. That's the advantage of using a name from a mediocre, not so widely known game. There's a "Jazhara" at DeviantArt, but she signed up after I had already signed up there.). The game was "Return to Krondor", the sequel to "Betrayal at Krondor", a great old RPG by SIERRA *waves her Gorath fan flag - 2 metre tall, bearded elves rule!* by the way.
As for the user title, it's definitely my avatar saying it. I think I wrote the whole setting out in the deceased avatar thread, or "THE THREAD*.
And those are definitely fangs. It's
Shariveillin, my Tiefling character from one of my favourite NWN 1 mods. She doesn't show much of her Tiefling heritage though - her father is supposed to be Valen from HotU who has a tail and horns. Originally I imagined her to have horns too, but when drawing her for the first time I had drawn the hair so well, I couldn't bring myself to draw in horns. And her avatar in-game didn't have them either, so it stuck. Her daughter did inherit the tail from her grandfather, though:
As for the signatures, it's all quotes. The first one is from the comic "Commissioned", specifically from the commentary on one of the strips where O (the author) makes fun of horror films, as they never managed to scare him. One of the comments was that people in those movies were always too stupid to run away. Only he said it in a much funny way.
The next one is from a short story from the "Chicks and Chainmal" book series edited by Esther Friesner. Read them, they're very funny. ^_^
Then the next one speaks for itself. I'll have to show you the link to the Mail-Order Assassin chronicles soon, I guess...
And the last one is from one of the Web Episodes of "Doctor Who", namely "Scream of the Shalka". The doctor tricks the Shalka and gets away by having the TARDIS open up to a black hold. That's when he says that. It loses a bit of it's humour if you don't know how it was originally delivered. I think I might change it soon, it was always the weakest part of my signature.
