What's your avatar about

[Someone Depressing]

My avatar, as of now, is an apple beam shooter laser capow who will avenge the Earth from a liberation of psyhchosis-personifying schoolgirls.

RINGO, MOGIRE, BEAM!

To be more specific, it's an apple head that emerges from the corpses of the main characters after they crash into the Sahara desert due to casting a ritual to get their teacher to fall in love with them thus causing Tokyo's gravity to disapear, sending kids, tables, and dogs with sticks up their butt flying into the sky, while 50 foot immigrant zombies attack Africa from all borders and from within, while the apple heads return to Tokyo to wreak havoc on the survivors, taking orders from a girl so amazingly optimistic that she "just wouldn't" die, after getting set on fire, hit by a car, being beaten to unconsciousness with hentai books, and of course, being forced to look at a Shintaro Kago manga for 2 hours without covering herself in her vomit and blood - in other words, it's her revenge. Why apples? She likes apples. And aliens. And God. And Buddha. And cutting herself.

..ringo mogire beam...

I usually hand-draw my avatars for other crap, but I just decided to pick the weirdest Japanese thing I know, try to make it into a GIF, fail, then just use a still.

It's Sasha from attack on titan holding potato Glados because it's two of my favorite characters from two of my favorite things combined.

 

[holographicman]

it's the player character from coded arms assault, an unreleased game with a freakin' awesome trailer

 

[PureChaos]

I think it's still Kiba from Naruto. I was a HUGE Naruto fan while at uni and for a few years after I graduated in 2009 and Kiba was my favourite character. I've been on here for many years but don't comment as much as I used to so never bother changing my avatar...if I have and it isn't Kiba I don't remember doing it! Be a nice surprise when I click 'post'

EDIT: OH, it's Sokka from The Last Airbender...thought I had that on another site...wow!

Hey, nothing to be ashamed of!!! Sokka is the man!

Sokka is the best character in the series. It looks like a giant mushroom...MAYBE IT'S FRIENDLY!

 

[scorptatious]

Overlord Laharl from the Disgaea series. Haaaahahahahahaha!!

It's a cropped picture of an original character of mine, looking damn sexy and intense. And clad in his ice queen crown.

I was wondering where that was from, cause your avatar does actually look pretty cool.

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

It's a crab sporting a top hat, monocle and cane. I think it represents my inner turmoil as I make my way the twisted labyrinth of life. That or it's just a crab in some fancy digs. YOU DECIDE!

 

[otakon17]

Mine is the Radish Spirit from Spirited Away. I like his design and the fact that he looks out for Chihiro while she's going to see Yubaba. That and he squeaks when he walks, which I found to be quite funny then and now.

Not at all, of course it makes perfect sense now. That video is a gold mine of potential avatars for you, no?

Pretty much! I knew I had to make some kind of avatar out of it as soon as I saw it. It can be cute, addicting and well-looped. Perfect c:

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

It's a melting bird I found on Newgrounds which proved to be a convenient symbol for my interests (complicated and abstract stuff), current state of mind (decidedly confused) and character (flighty and weird).

Oh and it also looks cool.

 

[TheIceQueen]

Overlord Laharl from the Disgaea series. Haaaahahahahahaha!!

It's a cropped picture of an original character of mine, looking damn sexy and intense. And clad in his ice queen crown.

I was wondering where that was from, cause your avatar does actually look pretty cool.

Thank you very much!

Spoiler

The rest of the image, which I probably should have shared to start with. My character mimicking Edward Stark a bit, with a gigantic ass sword. Still, the outfit's beautifully designed.

 

[Product Placement]

Both username and avatar are an offspring of an old joke I made, when I joined a webcomic hosting site. Essentially, the joke was that I identified myself as a sellout who'd wouldn't shy away from stabbing everyone in the back if the price was right.

I became a moderator on that site, couple of years later.

Oh, and I found that image, after googling "sellout". Funny thing is that I have no idea who that guy, holding the sign, is. Later, I tried finding the source image again, curious to find out who he was but I never found that image again.

 

[MercurySteam]

I haven't changed mine in a fair while until now and it sure feels good, like wearing a new coat. Anyone who watches anime should know where this is from but just in case I'll tell you anyway.

Spoiler

Spoiler: Sorry

Spoiler: Ok I'll stop doing this

Spoiler: Haha, had you there

Spoiler: Seriously now

It's the vampire Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate

 

[Lunar Templar]

Princess Luna from MLP: FiM decked out in the armor of a Spartan IV armor.

Spoiler: full image here

if your wondering why, the fandom surrounding MLP has taken Luna and made her a HARD CORE gamer (IE she plays EVERYTHING and doesn't seem to have a favorite game type, but just loves gaming on the whole), what ever new game is coming out she's probably stocked for it, she's also depicted as a colossal nerd as well.

 

[Jolly Co-operator]

Luckily, this thread caught me just as I was thinking of changing my avatar. Hopefully I'll be able to find a picture that actually works soon.

When it finally does work, it should be Anomander Rake from The Malazan Book of the Fallen. In addition to his character, I like him because he's a good example of Steven Erikson's (the author) ability to eschew fantasy tropes. Just from his appearance, Rake looks stereotypically evil; he's literally the son of Darkness. However, he's actually one of the most noble, compassionate characters in the series. Even though he's compassionate, he's still a man of action who can do what needs to be done, even having a streak of arrogance in him from time to time.

I'd go on about how awesome his sword is, but I think I've gushed enough for now.

 

[Talvrae]

It's my ShadowRun character can see more of her here http://www.deviantart.com/art/Shadowrun-155061845

 

[Rangerboy87]

It's one of my favorite shots from ZP and my view on QTE's all in one. Can't remember which episode though

 

[R4ptur3]

Mine is Hei from the Anime Darker than black. Why Hei? Because Hei is awesome that's why. He has a mask, a cool trench coat and he uses lightning!

 

[Hero of Lime]

Mine is an annoying bug, his job is to trick people into trying to brush him away; his name is Lord Harold III Esq.

I have an inbox full of victims.

Here I was thinking there was a bug in my house that liked your posts so much, it had to be a part of every single one of them.

It's a picture I found on Reddit. My friend and I were pretty much dying on his floor when we found it. Thinking about changing it though.

Please don't change it, knowing the context makes it brilliant on so many levels.

 

[Seydaman]

Sayaka Miki

Because I relate to her.

 

[Rebel_Raven]

Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh! :3
Tall, kinda awkward, aloof, a gifted athlete, seen as cool. Yet she has her struggles. People want her in their clubs, though she's largely not interested. She wants a cat, though cats just seem to hate her to no end. She's taller than most Japanese men. As she lives in Japan, she stands out.
People misunderstand Sakaki a lot.
Yet she's a wonderful person. A big sister figure some.
Kinda a role model.

My picture's cropped from one of the sports festival scenes where she wears a variant of a boy's school uniform for school spirit.

She's one of my favorite fictional women next to Tifa Lockheart.
