What Does Your Avatar Represent?

[ashacat]

Accurately or otherwise, avatars always give me a mental idea of the personality/age etc. etc. of the poster who has chosen to adopt it as their graphic representation.

So I would like to find out why people choose the avatars they do? Are they significant to you?

For example, who is the bloke on Libyas avatar?

Why is Bino a rat?

Any significance to the mask cdnvik?

So come on fess up, why did you choose your avatar? does it represent something about you/your life?

[Totster]

Hmmm.. what can you deduce from mine ?

Dunno, but I hope you don't drive like that in Cheltenham!

Any significance to the mask cdnvic?

It's a mask from the Haida indian tribe who were native to the west coast islands here. The mask is apparently a "secret society mask" although I fail to see how wearing a special mask helps keep it a secret.

But I assume they know what they were doing.

Mine is to represent that I live in Australia - but my heart is in Thailand. Even Issan kids recognise the kangaroo (jing-joe).

My Avatar is of one of my moggies, I caught him in this pose (mid self-grooming) as I was walking up the stairs with my camera as I was taking pictures around the house I lived in in the UK for rental purposes, he and his fat uncle are now with me and family in LOS!

My avatar is actually a photo of me, although I don't look so green in the flesh.

You're very photogenic.

White Dove = Peace, Flying = Freedom, Black = Anarchy.

mine is a self portrait

This topic has been done ad nauseum.

My avatar is easily recognizable as a U.S. dollar bill. But why are there triangles moving around it?

That's a secret and has a much greater underlying reason behind it.

Nah Jet was a Hag even when she was a Baby..

Course I was all cute and yellow...

I think I still am she'll get me for this...

[Jet Gorgon]

Careful if you're in glaring range, Peter and my old friend LBD.

That is an imposter of me in my younger days, Peter. Not even close. Grace Kelly grew to look like me.

Mine is the door to a crematorium at Wat Salagao in Nakhon Sri Thammarrat. My wife's 97 year old grandfather was on the other side of the door. If you look closely enough you can see a flame colored spot in the middle of the door.

[November Rain]

My new one is Lady Wynter. I was on 3 different avatar websites looking for one that was a bit Gothic (was fed up of the cutesy girl & dog) & went with Winter or bad weather (november rain). I liked her. And, as Jet pointed out, she has hair like Jet!!

Baaaad girl. Welcome. You are ten steps away from the Gorgon clan.

Although this has been done before, there's a new set of members answer each time (the old hands don't give a flying fart about what [if anything] avatars mean).

I like to think mine represents my no-bull attitude to life, I don't suffer fools gladly, in work I'm a JFDI (Just Frigging Do It) person, engineers can get like that as they get older.

Besides, I thought that as a road sign, it just about sums up LoS

[sibeymai]

Mine represents the vast majority of TV forum members.......almost human !

But, Crossy, with the utmost respect from an upstart TV member, why is the wagon not covered?
