The thread to discuss your current avatars and signatures.
Denote your theme. Explain who in the world that character is! Perhaps say where that sublime link of advertising goes to.
It's all here.

To start mine is Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect. There isn't much of a reason why I chose him exept that he's my fav team-mate in mass-effect.
Now... Let your reasons fly.
Why the roleplay forum? Shall I move this topic to General?
I finished Mass Effect 1 yesterday, it was my first playthrough

I ignored most sidequests because the story was so great, now I'm going to start a new game and see what I missed. I was playing as a good guy obviously. My favorite teammate is Ashley btw

. But I've heard that she doesn't return in Mass Effect 2 (as a party member), so I'm not sure whether I should continue the relationship in ME2 (and hope that she's a squadmate in ME3) or give up on her and romance Miranda instead.
Tali does return in ME2 but I don't really like her. Same for Liara.
They're both nice but Tali is a tech geek and Liara a science nerd.
Oh and my avatar is Alyx from Half-Life 2, ofc

. She's my favorite NPC ever but you probably already knew that

Well, mine has a whole
thread dedicated to it, so I don't think I need to explain here.

In high school a couple of my friends called me Living Dead Girl, so it's become my username quite often and is also my chosen avatar.

My avatar is an anime-style Valkyrie. I just typed the word into Google and picked a random picture that I thought looked cute. Not that I am too fond of anime. I appreciate it, yes, but I've only watched like five or six films, and I didn't seem to be carried away. Anyway, this is not the point, and the emphasis should lie in the Valkyrie. I have decided to make a Valkyrie my avatar after I've read a great bunch of Norse sagas. They really impressed me, and my nickname refers to the name of the website I got all them from. I guess it is translated as "Northern Treasure", but I am not so sure

It's the only avatar I made for this forum. Most of mine are 150x150 or 200x200, and I'm too lazy to open up PhotoShop and resize them.

My avatar is Blue, a character of mine that was "born" in one of my old one-off comics, were he was just a simple blue stick figure, but became more detailed once I started a TES comic, eventually becoming my favourite of all the characters. Now if I could just finish that comic....
Nowadays, he's become my go-to character for RPG's (When I'm playing a Thief) and role-plays.
Also, I feel that I should point at that my character avater is Blue in OOTS style.

Mine's a tribute to the wonderful Salieri. Not as awesome as Mozart, but not too shabby anyway.

I've always wondered why you use Jesus as your avatar...
Do you mean resemble physically, or character-wise?

You would be surprised how good I am at acting and debating.
Both are essential skills for politicians.

'cos Joker's awesome. ;P
It's from one of Edi and Joker's best conversations in Mass Effect 2.
"I enjoy the sight of humans on their knees.
*Joker's Face*"
Oh yeah, and it's all grainy 'cos of the size limit on avatars.. I have a JPEG, but it's too big, so converted it to GIF. >_>
Considering changing it though, tbh.

Dude looks like he's about to snap and go axe murderer.
But, on my avatar... I keep a folder of avatars for IM's, forums, etc. This just happens to be one of my least offensive ones (I save the good ones for IMs). I just get 'em from various sites that host that sort of thing.
Edit: I did some searching around for a clearer copy of my current avatar. I happened to find one that doesn't look all blurred and without the spider on it. That spider looked like an overgrown ant anyhow.

Recently, when I was finishing up re-reading Elfen Lied I saw this picture and in the reading and just had to have it. I mean, it displays so much evil and the intent of destroying all of humanity!

I love that part. Yeah Joker is awsome, when I heard that the original Normandy got destroyed in ME2 the first thing i said was "NOO. what about Joker... and everyone else".
I'm drawing myself a new avatar. Probably gonna be my books main character, or something random... Dunno
