The Story Behind Your Avatar

[H.R.Shovenstuff]

I don't just mean the picture below your name, I mean the whole ethos, the name and, yes, the picture too.

For me, H.R.Shovenstuff is a name I use to write in my college paper (originally from some small joke in Ace Ventura).
The picture was simply something I whipped up in paint to fit with the name, and because it looks super awesome.
I see 'H.R.Shovenstuff' as being a posh English Gent with super sexy abs and a heart of gold.
Much like the real me.

Yeah, I'm not cool enough to have a 'persona'. My avatar is default, and I just act like myself, except slightly less sarcastic for practical reasons.

 

[Anarchemitis]

"Vizral" as I call him was a maquette concept for the villain of the Pixar movie 'the Incredibles. He was cancelled in favour of Buddy Pine 'Syndrome'.

I took a screen-cap of him off the Making of segment on the DVD and fixed it up in Photoshop, adding detail, colour, hair and the like.

A little quote for you-

John Lennon was pure molten awesome.

There we go.

Uhmm..is this thread on it's third or fourth re-telling?

 

[ThePlasmatizer]

You made that in paint?
that's pretty good.

My username is from a character in the anime Shadow Skill called Fia Arcana. She's a a practicer of Sui Rem a type of sorcery that uses Talismans. After her master is killed she changes her name to Faury and seeks revenge, later on she gains the nickname the Plasmatizer.

I chose the name because it sounded like a very cool title.

My avatar is Proto Man from Megaman.EXE, I think the title Plasmatizer suits him well.

Fifth I believe, I remember several of them in my short time here.

 

[cheatking]

Cheatking, the king of all cheats. Does what ever is possible to win.

I also have Cirian for RPG (Cheatking doesn't quite cut it in WoW and such). Created after saying random words over and over untill this stuck. Allways a Paladin.

The pic is from unforgottern relms and is just something to tide me over untill I find/create the pic that defines me.

Sixth as I count. We'll all round it off to five for uniformity.

Lost count, I still post 'cause I want people to know me. *Ashamed*

 

[ianuam]

My name.. is just a random sequence of words. Didn't feel like using the names of my wow characters or my old handles. Since i'm learning Latin i thought this was appropriate. My avatar is just something i pulled from my /b/ folder. Thought it was amusing, though it's humour is probably lost what with the resizing.

 

[MarcusStrout]

Marcosco, short for Marcosco Rutworth Hoages IV, lead saxophone for the Antarctican Royal Zeppelin Fleet.

Seriously. Its a living.

I wear a fedora. A lot.

And yeah, I looked, there's like 6 times this has gone up, but this one apparently attached the "life story" differential to it, making it a unique diamond. Not.

 

[Retoru]

Meh, my avatar didn't really get much thought put into it. I just happen to like Black Mage from Final Fantasy and used a couple sprites from the game to make it look like he's dancing. It must be a decent avatar though, cuz since I created it a few years ago I've seen people using it on other sites and even seen it linked(without credit, mind you) on several sites that deal in video game sprites.

The penguin is better than you...

 

[Madlarkin]

I could go into the meaning behind my avatar. However i feel like the word limit per post would thwart it's greatness.
Perhaps one day you shall know the story.

 

[tiredinnuendo]

My avatar is different since last time!

I changed it to this to meet Mobius' challenge that I would never have an avatar as awesome as my Custer's Revenge one.

[Beowulf DW]

I got my avatar from my favorite web-comic, No Need for Bushido.

 

[gains]

Illustration my wife made for my CD (which I abandonned.)

The username comes from a store clerk tragically misspelling my last name on an order slip. In her defense, I was ordering the album "Songs About Fucking" by Big Black so she was probably a bit flustered.

 

[Calamity]

Sadly I'm not creative enough to make up my own alias.

My Avatar is an Imp from the anime Soul Eater, he dwells in the subconscious of one of the "heroes" and trys to convince him to forget his sanity and give into madness as a means of gaining power.
I suppose Madness would have been more fitting, but it has less of an impact then Calamity in my opinion.
