Becoming your avatar...

[Reaperman Wompa]

Online I am Reaperman Wompa. Offline I am waiting to be Reaperman Wompa.

My name/real life sux

Other than that I think i'm pretty much the same, the main difference being that I'm either quieter or much, much louder and meaner "On the outside".

Seriously, we all played out our Avatars. 'Tis great fun.

I am not my avatar, my avatar is me.

Which is why, even though my spelling and grammar is quite good, words like 'anyways' and 'yeh' are used- they mimic words I'd say in real life. Yeh, I do actually speak like I type.

Generally, I've always viewed my Escapist profile as a passage into a oasis in a desert of 'LOL OMGZ' and 'HAZOR'... which is why I completely agree with mandatory serving in the Escapist patrols, keeping trolls and fanboys out of the site.

Argh I hate when I can't articulate things properly.

I'm not playing out my avatar, as near as I can tell I am, for all intents and purposes, becoming my avatar. Or maybe a better way of putting it would be I've developed a split personality where some days I'm gitsnik and other days I'm... "normal".

I'm guessing though, judging by the various comments I've seen, I'm alone in this.

Yes indeed it is.

On-topic: I have friends in real life that call me ''Ghost'' and ''Sin''.

Hmm, ok. I guess becomming my avatar is also becomming my gaming, joking, silly self. Pretending to be evil and think up evil things, when in realy life I wouldn't harm a puppy. Orphans on the other hand. *shakes fist* They think they're so great! I'll teach 'em!

Good to have you serving stompy, good to have you serving...

I have become part of my Avatar. Whenever I see the word Fire I stop and think if that somehow relates to me. In a way, my name has become Fire. Being the name that everyone calls me online (people can't pronounce Daemon) doesn't help. I also found myself making the F in Fire a capital. It's very strange.

My avatar is a reperentation of myself with a nifty name, so no I have never found myself becoming my Avatar because we are one in the same.

I'm an orphan.

*silence*

Can you hear the awkwardness?

Heh. No. I'd apologise for your pain (if there is any) but honestly, everyone has their own troubles. Me, apparently I'm insane

 

[Dommyboy]

My avatar is my name so I win the internets.

 

[H.R.Shovenstuff]

My picture avatar is me, I made it in paint to show my inner self.
Plus mustaches are cool.

Well... you know I didn't mean it directly at anyone. (Hides the wrench) Wow, awkward.

I never actually meant it in that way, just the cute old british ones with scarfs around their necks, "Please, sir can I've some money?" types. Damn them and their adorability! Is it me or is this hole keep on getting bigger?

 

[zen5887]

Yeah my avatar is pretty much me in cartoon form

Climb out on a pile of dead orphans.

I have no shame.

 

[Archaeology Hat]

People regularly mistake my avatar for an ipod style picture of me. It's not.

Aside from the glasses, and the lack of fuzzy hair.

It's all good. I'm not actually an orphan. I was just trying to create an awkward silence over the internet.

You have sex with Italian-Swedish men?

 

[Jamanticus]

I Think I Just May Agree With You.

Not That I Am The Ultra Joe In Real Life, But That Online, Me And This Avatar Have Become Inseparable.

This makes me sad that I haven't created a definite persona for my avatar yet...... It's like I'm a blob of clay or something that has no ultra or ninja bits to it

*sigh*........... Just you wait- it'll develop some personality eventually
