Avatars and Their Stories

[Reinhart]

Where did your avatar picture come from and what does it mean to you?

Out of many of the forums I normally go to (not very many anymore, but still.) this one has the widest variety of... interesting avatars. So, where does it come from?

 

[Merentha]

A Song of Ice and Fire, my favorite book series.  Its a direwolf coupled with the protagonist's (kind of) house words. 

 

[Yoshiboy]

Made it eons ago. I used to be Dan the Yoshi Lover. This is like 8 years ago or something though.

 

[Tarrantmw]

A Song of Ice and Fire, my favorite book series.  Its a direwolf coupled with the protagonist's (kind of) house words. 

Ahem...



Mine is from Beauty and the Beast, I have shirt that looks like my avatar. Me and my brother went to New York with my mom and watched the broadway play, totally awesome.

 

[Lamjose]

I wanted something different then most and I do love beef.

 

[Lost-Lamb]

Morpheus, Dream, The King of Dreams, Lord Shaper, The Sandman. The protagonist of Vertigos "The Sandman", an awesome comic that truly impressed me.

 

[okiN]

I love the original Moomin comics.

 

[bugman]

The Warhammer Dwarf I took my name from.

 

[Whoopin]

Mine is an image of my identity from a previous PvP MMO I terrorized. Its a Mage Assassin I developed over time to RPK and gank targets all over the world and possibly get away with it to repeat. Was flying around stealthed killing every target that gave me the opportunity. Was so damn good at the playstyle I made that Assassin template famous and I was nominated for Advocacy to teach others and to improve the game with my experienced opinions. BTW that "Clutterslayer" title was earned/given... I didnt ask for it.

His name is Avenge, its a Nephilim (gargoyle) in its human form - they have horns and cannot wear headgear.

Made many griefing and action gameplay music videos with that character - he was fun to watch because he was played different than normal and was extremely dangerous when used by a skilled player. Whenever Whoopin (my berserker barbarian) happend to get whooped for whatever reason, I immediately swapped to my Assassin to avenge Whoopin. I was primarily an instigator by flying into towns to catch chumps slippin, couldnt get enough targets.

I don't belong in this thread, because I have no face.
But Heinhart, your avatar bugs me. Surely you don't shoot guns without looking?

 

[QuailLover]

Me and my Quail

My screen name is my avatar's explanation

 

[Ilex]

I like my own face.

 

[tostig]

Prince Rupert of the Rhine, a Royalist general during the English Civil Wars, and later a pirate, before finally becoming a naval hero in the Anglo-Dutch Wars.

Well, that's what you get for studying C17th history for two years.

@Whoopin
That looks like the game Shadowbane... is it? I was really excited about that game... until I played it.

@acutedeath
Heh... no, thats my .38 Smith & Wesson revolver and a cheap katana in my other hand. My girlfriend wanted to do a 'photoshoot' that was my favorite picture from it.

 

[Seff]

An Osprey picture of a Viking, hastily snatched after my beloved .30-06 bullets died

You're also good at being dramatic.

Mine is a picture of a Höyry-Kone's record, Huono Parturi. In english it means a bad barber.

Someone has a slightly over-inflated opinion of herself.

Whoopin, Shadowbane was
a) a piece of **** that I stopped playing mere days after my clan started building cities.
b) Crap and
c) You did NOT invent that character build...

 

[Iberon]

Erm.. Fallout. That's about it.

 

[macethump]

Bishop Odo, brother of William the Conqueror.  Mace FTW!

 

[Cleaning agent]

A stoned dude from oblivion.

I got the picture, scribbled on it then put it up as my avvy. I think I might have been drinking that time
