Describe your Avatar

[Roxas1359]

Spoiler: A larger version of my avatar

Mine is the avatar I use for my YouTube Channel and for other social media sites really. It's primarily Kingdom Hearts themed, like my user name, and based off of Waluigi's eyes with an Organization XIII symbol for the nose. The mustache, nose, and eyes were created by @AfroBattler when he made different template backgrounds for my channel back when I needed them. I decided to edit it together and put the Kingdom Hearts' heart in the background like how my old avatar was.

It's Lord Yato, from the anime Noragami, devouring food.

I felt it represents me quite well. First off, I love food.

Yeah, that's about it really. I do also really like the show, even if some could call it a little generic or boring. I find I like it's characters and it's slower atmosphere. The anime is also where I got my internet alias from. He's referred to early on as "Delivery God Yato" and my name on the internet is "Noah" (not my real name), so I combined the two. To be fair, Yato also kind of has the personality I'd sometimes like to emulate but am far too socially inept to do so; a bit eccentric, lively, over-confident, but also often unfazed by events and secretly more powerful and reliable than people give him credit for.

Noah comes from an in-joke with a few internet friends, where we were playing Worms Clan Wars, and I never edited my Worm's names. One of the defaults was "Noah", and for some reason one of the people we were playing with kept referring to me directly as Noah (even though we told him my real name). It was just stupid funny, and since then everyone in our little group just calls me Noah.

I'd also hesitate to say there's any easily identifiable aspect of my forums posts. I'm pretty generic. I guess I say a lot of stupid stuff? I'm also quick to apologize when someone points out any errors or oversights I'm embarrassed of.

This is Alec Guinness portraying George Smiley in the old BBC miniseries of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Smiley is a reserved character whose slightly doddering and slow going exterior belie a cunning and ruthless side. He destroys a soviet spyring simply by talking to some people.

I like to change up my avatars on a regular basis. Lately, it's been mostly from movies I liked. This one is Mark Baum from The Big Short. I describe him as an angry Jiminy Cricket. How does that reflect my posting style? I do like to call "Bullshit!" from wherever that BS is coming from, Liberals or Conservatives. However, like the Anger avatar from Inside Out that I had a few months ago, it does remind me to not go overboard and offend other people with my opinions.

EDIT: For anyone who haven't seen the movie or not interested. Here is a short clip of what this character is like.

 

[The Raw Shark]

I was and still am abnormally fond of Raiden and his "Jack the Ripper" shtick.
On the side, I love Gothic Victorian aesthetics.
So from there it was obvious to me what to do
Get a Jack the Ripper image of the internet and give it funny red eyes for shits and giggles.

 

[Akytalusia]

as of this post it's a slightly modified atma kriya yoga emblem. i chose it as my avatar after doing a google image search for my nickname, 'aky'. it stood out to me because i too am fond of meditation, and it's a solid visual reflection of my composed personality. more than that though, i did some rudimentary research into the atma kriya and didn't find their values to be too objectionable, so i don't mind the incidental association either.

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

Its uh...Carmalita Fox, from the Sly Cooper games. And she's angry because Sly found her tied up in an airship, and rather than free her he leaves her trapped in a closet so he can steal gold from the bad guys.

Although I've been considering changing it. I change about once a year, and its about that time again. Any ideas?

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

It's just a picture of me. I finally changed the Zim image after 4 years.

....Bender?

Hey, don't put that blue one there!

 

[monkeymangler]

My Avy is Inquisitorial General Esdeath Partas from Akame Ga Kill!. The most powerful being in the series, as well as the deuterantagonist. Described as a "one woman walking apocalypse", she wields the Demon's Blood Extract imperial arms, which allows her to generate and manipulate an infinite amount of ice out of thin air. A pattern sadist and torture technician, she is a motherly type to her soldiers and a mercilessly sadistic psychopath to her enemies. Loved by some, hated by most, feared by all. Once buried 10,000 women and children fleeing a battlefield out of pure spite. Believes in Darwinism to the most extreme possible extent: the strong survive, the weak die, no matter who they are.

When the leader of the good guy's team was asked what it would take to kill her, she responded with "30,000 troops (most of which will die trying) and 10 magical weapon users including Akame (the main character)".

Wait. Topaz Fusion didn't die, did he? D:

He just quit the site, right?

OT: My avatar is a Dragon Age Hurlock Emissary (before Bioware ruined the darkspawn's look. xp). He's also holding the avatar of another Escapist poster who made this group; http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Catoholics-anonymous

My avatar was made for me by Eclipse Dragon. It's part of a "group photo" she made for a group we're a part of.

Spoiler: It's a bit outdated, but still looks awesome. :D

Ah. Good times.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Orendi, from the upcoming game Battleborn.

My most anticipated character from that game, and most likely being my main.
Inb4 changing my avi again...

 

[NerfedFalcon]

It's not particularly the main story in which Ibuki shines, but it's after you beat the game and get to do the alternate story where

Spoiler

Monomi beats Monokuma and you get to spend time with the others. In Ibuki's case, the first few times you're doing things with her, it seems like it's just random stuff that she comes up with. However, at the end of it, you realize it's not what you're doing, but how you express yourself when doing things and how Ibuki is just naturally herself when she's doing things and encourages Hajime to do the same and put forth all of himself when he does what he does. Very moving, IMHO.

As for the main story, Gundham is 2nd for me and, especially with how they wrote the story, does even hold a candle to the person that became my 2nd best female character of all time, and the most moving character in Danganronpa 2...

Spoiler

It appears that it is wiser to retreat for now. Fine, then. But regardless of good or evil, there's no deceit in upholding one's convictions.

Also, I forgot about your #2 female; she might even tie with Byakuya.

 

[FFHAuthor]

Because it's Bender, and it helps keep me in perspective. Because it's the internet, and I just need to remember that this clip applies to both my opinions and everybody else's online:

[Zombie_Fish]

Mine is a zombie fish. I think it's pretty clear why I chose it as my avatar.

In memorium of a dang cool dude.

Wait. Topaz Fusion didn't die, did he? D:

Last I checked, he was alive. I can't see now, though, since his profile and posts have all been scrubbed, salted and purged.

 

[JaKandDaxter]

Haha, no dude, it's been like that for months. I ended up turning off avatars completely to make it go away. (Which is actually not as bad as it sounds, because having no avatars displayed improves site load times quite nicely.)

Actually, who was the person who originally said it "only lasts for 24 hours"? Because that person is a liar.

It's intended to last 24 hours. If nobody's suggested it, try clearing your cache. Seems to work.

I can attest to the '24 hour' thing not working correctly. I've had the Bieber avatars a couple of times, and they've never corrected themselves after 24 hours. I've always had to seek tech assistance to make them go away again.

I guess the Biebers just mysteriously get 'stuck' on certain profiles.

Logging out and logging back in always seems to work for me. I've been Bieber'd about 5 times now by my loving colleagues already, lol.

As for my avatar, it is Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I normally find amusing Star Trek related images to use as an avatar, since it fits my username. (FileTrekker was always my name. File for FileFront, now GameFront, Trekker cause, well, I like Star Trek).

 

[JohnnyDelRay]

Mine I got when I bought the special edition of Fallout: Tactics, back in the days before Steam. Well, about 15 years ago. There were a bunch of gifs that came on the CD. I just loved the Brotherhood full power armor design, and by the point in the game where you can walk around like that carrying a minigun it just feels so fucking boss.

Yes, Tactics is my favorite Fallout game. Maybe because it was the first one I really got into, but I still look at it today as simply the best era in turn-based combat, before things got really simple. The story really kept it up through the whole thing too, every new area was some kind of revelation or introduction to something crazy - a new species, a new run down facility, a faction of psychos, or just scary as fuck mutants.

But enough about the game. I've had this avatar since I joined here, it's a little pixel-y because of the size limit. It doesn't really represent me all that much, other than the fact that the Brotherhood is my favorite faction in the Fallout games. Maybe has something to do with my weird phobia of electricity becoming non-existent one day, and the fact that I always think about what it would be in an apocalypse - I always run scenarios through my mind what life would be like without it.

 

[StormShaun]

It's me.
An animated style of portrait that I got done at a convention at long time ago.
It's my Twitter and Youtube profile picture, where I'm known quite a bit by the photo, so I thought, "why not here?"

It's basically a icon of a certain Youtuber's (ChilledChaos) community.
I've always liked it. Yes, I've liked my previous avatars, which are mostly of Tomoya Okazaki from Clannad, but... well, this feels more personal ever since I left a certain other community.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Mine is a black-and-white picture of a wolf that was in a calendar I bought back in the '90s.
