Backstory behind your avatar?

MORGANA! I'm not a cat btw

That's *exactly* what a cat would say, though.

....I mean. Of course I believe you. Of course.

I finally defeated my friend at Street Fighter 2, 7 to 6 (via SNES 9x, playing on a shared keyboard over a decade ago yikes) and took a screenshot of the final score screen.

Googly eyes added by him in MSPaint on Ryu, representing my determination in the final match.

Honestly i'm the guy that changes avatars from time to time, so i'll just talk about my most "common" avatars.

Yuzu Tanikawa from SMT Devil Survivor : I like her personality and design that's all!!!!

Emiya Shirou from the Fate Series : He kinda reminds me of me in the way he tries to help everyone and strive to become stronger as a magus, so i identify a lot with him!

I'm laughing so hard because I have a love and hate relationship with my avatar, and I was thinking if I should or shouldn't change it. Like, it's an odd painting of the Princess Mononoke's shinigami, and it have this weird look that I can't really read. It gives me that uncanny valley feeling, you know? And at the same time it hypnotizes me...

But there's one more thing: I have this picture for at least ten years in my computer and never really used it anywhere before RGT. So I haven't any idea of from where I took it! And I remember looking for it online sometimes, without any satisfactory results... however, what I haven't done untill NOW was using the google lens option. I think it didn't existed when I searched in the last time.

The oldest result the google lens offers me is this hentai website and this is totally cracking me up UAHUEHAUEHUAHAUAHEUAHAHAHA

I still don't know if I change it or not. I like how it's weirdly memorable and apparently pretty much unique. I'm just not sure of the impression it causes on people lol

edit: changed the pic to my beloved Klonoa

 

[Yousef]

That’s genuinely hilarious

 

[Karnik]

Today's one is Kikaider, one of the first tokusatsu heroes of the seventies, who I met while playing Super Tokusatsu Taisen (psx) and of which I then saw some episodes subtitled in english.

Anyway I intend to change avatar every week, taking it from the anime or tokusatsu series of the seventies/eighties. As already mentioned elsewhere, great admirer of the early tokusatsu series and of the artwork by the father of japanese animation: Go Nagai.

You can't change it, this is how we picture you in our heads now

 

[Ícaro Oliveira Santos]

My favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, And Ramza Beoulve is my favorite final fantasy protagonist ever.

 

[AlisterBardo]

Well... I want to change the characters I use, because a I regularly use Castlevania characters as PP or related user name. And this time my waifuist part won. So... That's why I'll use Momo from BOF 3 for the near future.

 

[moonbits]

I like cats and fungi so it fits.

 

[Yukyon]

Yuki Nagato from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, can't remember the artist, but I've used it in different sites since at least 2016, me thinks.

 

[retronerdgamer]

It's Argo from Sword art online. I was playing the lost song game then she appeared and I really liked her design.

I gotta ask but am I tripping that Argo never really appeared in the anime? I don't remember her except for one episode with the christmas event or whatever where Kirito was gonna get a revive item for Sachi.

Also my pic is Alois from Fire Emblem Three Houses. It was custom made for me and I have a christmas variant on right now.

Issue of Game Player's Magazine highlighting megaman x and sonic cd, but the faces hav ebeen swapped, and it's absolutely cursed. no sentimental or significant value to me, I just found it randomly online, saved it, and then opted to use it as a forum avatar here after CDR went to repo only.

I always thought the American artwork for Mega Man was hella cursed. They tried to make him look like a weird baby human hybrid that looked off-putting.

Long story short...
The character's Ryusei Date from the Super Robot Wars games, a mecha pilot who's also a huge mecha anime otaku. He mainly pilots the R-1, a transformable PT (Personal Trooper) which is a part of a bigger mech called the SRX

Both him and his unit have a lot of parallels to Kamille Bidan from Gundam Zeta, as they both have psychic powers and their units can use it to enhance their specs in combat

I just thought it was cute how Maggie took Flanders' glasses.

you’re right. It is adorable.

 

[Batman]

I actually spent some time on it. I googled: "moronic Batman" and the most popular result was this:

Then I made some changes on Photoshop. Added blood texture (changed the color) and blur. Changed his mouth a little, making him a little bit less moronic.

When First Heard CDRomance stopped uploads I thought it was the end. But when I discovered that their was a website that you had to sign up to get Rom's, I thought to myself. I have never really Been apart of a Community Like All the other social media sites, so thought real long and hard that if I was going to join, I wanted something to Embody what and average Rom Collector and Gamer Would look like. Not in a boring Type way. But a more Fantasy science-fiction type way. And this what I came up with. Look to Profile pick.

[AnonymousCookieMonster]

It was a long hard day at the office, and i needed a break. Everyone knew my face. Everyone knew my name, and cookies were my game, on this street of sesame.

I walk the same streets and see the same faces every day, and then i had a thought. What if i turned my cookie, my favorite treat into a mask and wore it? No one would recognize me! I could walk down the street and eat my cookies and kids wouldn't laugh at me and call me a monster anymore. I could be... normal...

So i did it. I made the first mask, adding flour and sugar and baked it.... not sweet enough, so i made a second one. Too hard. So i ate it too. On the third attempt i got it just right, and putting it on changed my world, for all i could smell was cookies.

Now when i go down the streets i still get given cookies. Some of them ask if i'm trying to be anonymous. And i answered "Yes. I'm the Anonymous... cookie monster..."

Spoiler: Reality.. not very funny

I wanted to incorporate the Guy Faux mask. And then laughed when i thought of the cookie monster, as there's no way you wouldn't know who he was, and yet put the two together and you get something wholly original.

 

[DRK]

In my case. I really like the character and his background story so I just went with it.

This was a really addictive shooter. I love large weapon selections so much.

I used to like to take pictures or shots I thought looked cool and redraw them with pixel art. I don't do it much now because it takes way too long to draw anything, plus I don't think it looks that great in the first place and I don't feel like investing my time into developing that skill any further. Maybe I will go back to pixel art one day.

I did that drawing not long after I started to watch One Piece and I thought that shot of Zorro looked cool, so I re-draw it. I used it as my avatar because that's the first pic that came up when I had to choose an avatar. It was either that or Morgana from persona 5.
