This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Why Did You Pick Your Avatar?

Quote from: HinterWeltI can attest to this. I have seen it and was nearly blinded. ;)
Actually, dude, that day I was wearing my OTHER pink tie.

I own two.  The Pasadena one is skinny, vintage 1980s.

RedFox

I like foxes.  I go by "RedFox" online.

I found this adorable fox pic that says "I'm a fox!" at the bottom somewhere out in the wilds of the Wired and decided to use it as an avatar.

Before I settled on this one (before I came here), I'd switch it up every few days to every other week.  This one kinda stuck though.

It's just sooooo cute!
 

GRIM

Mine is Harry Kipling (Deceased) a comic book character and the last remaining vestige of the Neo-Brittania Empire. He kills gods.

Being British, an atheist and a lifelong fan of 2000AD he's a good choice.

Pip pip.

Mines easy, it's apicture of me, taken on my laptops built in camera. My last one was a picture of me in skull like face-paint. I use pics of myself because I think I'm crazy/sexy/cool enough to pull it off.

Quote from: Zachary The FirstSo, is there a reason why you picked the avatar you did?  [...] Is JimBob really black, wear an afro, and appear in increasingly poor Hollywood decisions?
Originally I had,



to promote GameCircle.org, the forum, contact and campaign wiki service for Aussie gamers.

Then David R kept commenting on, "your Jules-style English, motherfucker, do you speak it? demeanour", and I thought that seemed right for this forum, so I changed to that. Just so that people would have fair warning.

Also, Jules is like "Jim Bob" - it's a reminder not to take myself too seriously. That's needed when discussing such profound and serious issues as rpgs.

Mine is one of the plethora of Fujiwara mon, basically a Japanese Coat of Arms. I'm descended from the Fujiwara and Sekiguchi clans and the Fujiwara Wisteria just looks cooler to me I guess.

This is my second Avatar. Normally on message boards I don't use 'em. Seeing JimBob's and the Pundit's avatars inspired me, to have one over here. (Thanks Uma Sama for your help...and off course, the big Pipe Smoker in Uruguay who keeps us on the straight and narrow - gaming -wise :D )

Why this particular image? Well there was/is a war going on. Elias is one of my all time favourite characters and I think he is the epitome of my "plays well with others" philosophy.

Off course I forsee that I will be shot by my ideological opposite and have a Christ-like death scene on these very boards :brood:

Regards,
David R

PhishStyx

I made mine at an online Flash-based avatar site.

It looks surprisingly similar to me.

EDIT: Huh, and I just realized that I never uploaded it here.

EDIT2: Ok, now it's there.

My avatar is a little drawring of me that I did about 2 years ago.  I thought it went well with my username. :)

I picked my avatar because I'm not a big fan of avatars.

I did a google search for "nWoD" and this is what it gave me.

J Arcane

It's sort of a theme thing.  It's intended to match my title, "Fullmetal Necromancer".  The icon comes from Warcraft III, and is for one of the undead ability upgrades, and the look of it looks like some kind of armored yet deceased hand.  It fit.

"Fullmetal Necromancer" is an idea I've been kicking around for an homage to Fullmetal Alchemist.

Because I killed the last honourable man.

Because I can go down fighting.

Because its not our future.

Because I hold in my heart the memories of my fallen brothers.

Because I accept the challenge.

Because they vote how their archbishop tells them, and who tells the archbishop? Their king with his pointy hat what sits on his throne in the Forge.

Because they've done nothing, contributed nothing.

Because you must look to me, and see who is under my knife.

Because I'm gonna teach you to speak English with this fucking knife!

Because civilization is crumbling.

Because a real native is someone who is willing to die fighting for his country; there's nothing more to it.

Because I don't give a twopenny fuck about your moral conundrum, you meat-headed shitsack.

Because at my challenge; by the ancient laws of combat, we are met at this chosen ground, to settle for good and all who holds sway over the five points: us natives, born rightwise to this fine land, or the foreign hordes defiling it.

Because that, my friends, is the minority vote.

Because that's what maintains the order of things.

Because I know your works. You are neither cold nor hot. So because you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth. You can build your filthy world without me.

Because that's how you stand up to the rising of the tide.

:cool:
