My avatar came from recording my gf and I's smash bros melee matches. This particular combo made her mad as hell. She dropped the controller, went to the bed and screamed really loud into the pillow. I had to make it up to her by watching some boring love story on Netflix.

My avatar is obvious. I am a huge of fan of Xenoblade Chronicles, and Shulk was my favorite character from the game.

This should probably be in the off topic, but I think some nice mod will move it at somepoint.

OT: No huge story for mine. I found something like this a year ago online but it had only 12 deaths and was quite bland. I brought it over here and I editted it myself and added more deaths to make it less boring. After I came out of my hiatus from the site a few months ago I made the thing from scratch and I have about 120(?) or so deaths in my main one. This christmas version has about 50 or so deaths.

Well I just played Wind Waker for the first time via the HD re-release, and I ended up loving it.

So I have Makar, a character from the game, as my avatar for now. And since it's Christmas time, I gave him a Santa hat. :3

EDIT 12/12/2013

I changed my avatar to Medli, so please don't message me about how this isn't Makar thanks.

My avatar features footage from a game called Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier. The Werefox-girl you see, a Kitsune apparently, is called Saya and is the main antagonist of the Super Robot Taisen series. Looks friendly here though!

My avatar is a picture of the PM light of the alarm clock that sits in my gaming room. That's because I'm a night owl, and 90% of the time I play video games late in the evening.

Charizard is cool, Shiny Charizard is even cooler. That was as far as my thought process went in that regard.

This avatar I'm only using for the Holiday season.

My usually avatar is the girl on the right dancing to her favorite anime. The anime she is from is pretty good, but I would prefer something SAO or Noucome related. The only reason she is my avatar is I found it as some other dudes avatar on a porn site. I'd always wanted a gif avatar so I saved it and boom! Free avatar.

I just find the man to be a pleasant well rounded individual within his particular style of music.
Wish there were more like him.

Well here's the full pic of my avatar.



Seriously, Siarnaq is cool already but that's really badass. But I also chose this avatar because the way he looks in the pic is reflective of how I tend to feel about this site, this is not a place for nice calm debates, this is a bitter and nasty war zone and it can often leave me with "all my guns drawn" so to speak, so an aggressive looking avatar suits me.

I actually tried using a different avatar not that far back, of Nikola Tesla, because my mood was a bit better by it didn't take too long for that to sour and so I went back to Siarnaq.

John Riccitiello stepped down from EA, and I've been too lazy to change my avatar since.

My avatar is one of my characters.

It's essentially a line-arted and coloured version of a panel from an audition comic for an OCT I was in.

If anyone wants to see the big version I could always send them a link through the private messages. Not sure how much the Escapist (dis)approves of linking to deviantart.

Charlotte Dunois from Infinite Stratos in cat pajamas. She's my favorite anime character, decided to fix up a GIF for the Escapist.

Her desire to grasp the camera represents my desire to grab you.

Wait...

I love Persona 4. I relate heavily to the character Yosuke Hanamura. Hence he is my avatar.

Aragorn, before he became a king or even joined the fellowship, was a badass wanderer. In that respect we are both alike. Just as he wanders, I wander the fields of the world and the expanses of my mind in search of new truths and new experiences and to sometimes relive old ones.

Sounds cheesy but it's the truth.

The Christmas version of my normal avatar, because sticking Santa hats on the symbols of a fictional empire consisting of what could be best described as 'Catholic Space Nazis' and 'knowledge/machine worshippers' is always funny.

I wrote a series of stories about a thief who called himself Fox, and he wore a mask. I never got it published, but I was attached to the character so I used the mask as my avatar.
