[edit] Vanguard Explained
Xbox Live Tag: AvauntVanguard
Avaunt: Middle English, forward, from Old French avant, from Latin abante. American Heritage Dictionary.
Vanguard: NOUN: 1. The foremost position in an army or fleet advancing into battle. 2a. The foremost or leading position in a trend or movement. b. Those occupying a foremost position. ETYMOLOGY: Middle English vandgard, from avaunt garde, from Old French : avaunt, before (from Latin abante; see advance) + garde, guard (from garder, to guard; see guard). American Heritage Dictionary.
A vanguard is the forward element of an advancing military Tactical formation. Wikipedia.
Avant Garde: Avant-garde (pronounced /ɑvɑ̃ gɑʁd/) in French means "front guard", "advance guard", or "vanguard". The term is commonly used in French, English, and German to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics. Wikipedia.
[edit] About Myself
I am a junkie for communities all over the internet ranging from many different themes like politics, religion, and games.
I'm also a forum junkie, active and known on 20 different forums (my by aliases on each differ; ranging from Hemotep, Mithril/Matthias, TheLegion, Commander, CagedinSanity, Punisher, and now Vanguard.) So when I saw this community, I was naturally inclined to join.
All my in-game names have the Vanguard theme, so I'm not hard to find. The Vanguard thing is a concept faction I made, in which you can read about in my "roleplaying" section. Still about a character or two and another article I need to add so stay tuned.
That's my internet life. As for my actual personality, I can be an asshole If I feel the need to be as such. I love grammar, respect, and games. A few things that will really get me to flip-out are Fanboys, disrespect, grammar-laziness (There may be errors throughout my posts and pages, but whoever types like a dyslexic cat having a siezure on a keyboard is just asking me to flame them.)
In Real Life, I am a 19 year old male. I live in a house with my mother, grandmother, and brother. It's a very sad situation but it is the truth. If you want to know anything else that's not TOO personal, feel free to post in my talk.
