Backstory behind your avatar?

In one of the levels of Tricky Kick for TG16, Little Mayumi gets invited to Biff's party, but she has to go through the Rude Boys territory. That's where this guy is from. A guy in flip flops trying to be a cool guy, that's about where I'm at in life.

You're not alone, European brother.

Epsilon-Eagle from Alien Soldier on the Genesis.

I just love Treasure games and I also enjoy birds in general.

I won't get too deep but Alien Soldier is a game that pushed the Genesis to its absolute limits (being a game made after the Sega Saturn came out) despite having cut content and featured a ton of bosses.

The plot is quite crazy as well:

Spoiler: The entire plot from Alien Soldier's intro

The year is 2015. The planet Sierra is gripped by fear and is in the midst of a deep crisis.

The evil terrorist group, Scarlet, are still a commanding force. They have the power to prevent humans travelling to and from the outside universe.

Scarlet's members consist of artificial beings created using super genetic engineering by the sierrans. Scarlet is an underground organization that has been secretly formed with the express intention of destroying he human race.

in addiction to their high level of intelligence and awesome strength, Scarlet's members are equipped with parasitic abilities that allow them to live within human beings, animals and machinery. Equipped with these abilities they conquered the sierrans and stand on the brink of obtaining supremacy over Sierra.

Epsilon-Eagle, the boss of he Scarlet group, is the intended target of an assassination attempt being planned by sierrans. A special combat group, capable of using super powers, was secretly dispatched to carry out this mission.

Scarlet unleashed a sudden attack on Epsilon with their powers. Epsilon, seriously damaged by the attack, was thrown into the time-space continuum which had been activated by Scarlet's use of super powers.

With Epsilon seemingly gone forever, Xi-Tiger took control of Scarlet amidst the resulting confusion. With Xi-Tiger now in charge, the terrorist attacks against sierrans became more frequent and brutal.

With this increase in attacks towards sierrans, Xi-Tiger soon became unpopular amongst Scarlet members. As a result, the demands for the re-instatement of Epsilon as the leader of he Scarlet group became stronger.

Having been isolated from the other Scarlet members, Xi-Tiger decided to assassinate Epsilon. In an attempt to activate the time-space continuum, Xi-Tiger ordered an attack on the sierrans' research laboratory, where children with super powers were being held hostage having been kidnapped.

Xi-Tiger sensed something was wrong. He could feel the presence of Epsilon in one of the boys. However, he was unsure because he couldn't pinpoint the evil from Epsilon, who had entered the boy's body and was now living as a parasite inside of him. In an attempt to get Epsilon out of the boy's body, Xi-Tiger took a young girl hostage and threatened to kill her unless Epsilon released the boy.

The boy flew into a rage and morphed his body into Epsilon. Suddenly, where the boy had been standing, now stood a "birdman" with steel wings.

Epsilon's mind was in conflict as a battle between it's real nature, human justice, and the foreign force raged on.

Xi-Tiger could sense an unknown power within Epsilon, and fled immediately having killed the girl first.


---Epsilon---

"Xi-Tiger, I will never let you get away."

Epsilon is not the only creature of his kind. Somehow another "birdman" with a similar body has been created. Although their bodies were identical, their minds were very different. Unknown to everybody, the mind of the mysterious new "birdman" was filled with an evil ambition.

He also flew off in search of Xi-Tiger…

Tl;Dr He's the leader of a terrorist organisation consisting of animal-looking parasites on a planet that isn't Earth in 2015 that ended up getting betrayed by one of his members so he seek revenge over him.

Just occurred to me that we usually don't see avatars consisting of only a location or inanimate object; it's almost always a character or a picture of a living creature, perhaps it is because we identify with living beings, being one ourselves, than say, a rock, or a milkshake.

Well the short and obvious answer is that I'm furry trash.

To expand upon that a bit, I've been in the fandom since the super early 2000s and made Ian around 2004. He's stayed more or less the same since then, minus a few minor changes and new clothing. Like he got the scar on his face when I did, gained weight with me, etc. I do plan on revamping him moderately when/if I can find a good artist who'll do a reference sheet for a price I can afford. I've made other characters since him, but he's remained my main and I don't see that changing.

Also, sorry to say. But duplicate thread.

Damn I love that Final Fantasy Tactics styled portrait, really cool

Hell yeah! I stumbled across an artist that did them completely randomly and boy am I glad I did. They were also doing character sprite commissions in the same style as FFT, but I didn't pick one up. Big mistake. Maybe I'll get the chance again in the future.

Is this an actual sprite from the game or fanmade? Still funny.

Nah it's from the actual game! It's the 'fallen' (or fainted?? knocked out??? DEAD????) sprite - and is the only time we ever get to see what's under that big hat!

if there was a good picture of the forest navel from pikmin, i would use that on a pikmin website for my avatar. its got the best area music in the first game.

 

[TheREALBLUEdragon]

Mine is Spot the dragon (or Pochi in the original Japanese version) from the Keio Flying Squadron games.

 

[Hikari.EXE]

Wow, lots of good as answers! Here's mine: right now, Kamen Rider Meteor

But I have used other pfps to represent me, but I am a little hesitant to change into something different since people are starting to associate me with the character. I would love to use something original, but I'm not an artist and I'm terrible with directions, so I wont commision anything from any artist...
I guess my main thematic is space stuff? I always wanted to be an astronaut growing up, but I gave up after watching that movie Gravity, shit's tense! And if you're disapointed that I gave up being an astronaut, don't worry, I got into college to study mechatronics engineering, so I'm still fufilling my dream in an indirect way lol.
I always liked secondary characters over the main ones, they always seem more reliable over the main character and seem to always get shit done! Reminds me of a video I watched about a character in one of the more recent seasons of Super Sentai:

TL;DR, the character stays the same trough the entire season, not because he can't change, but rather he doesn't want to change, he's perfectly content with the life he's leading... Kinda like me. Now, I won't say that I'll never change or I never changed in my life, but as of right now, I'm perfectly content with my life, I have a strong base philosophy and I'm at peace with myself and the world, I'm willing to help anyone in need because "why not?" and I'm fufilling my purpose everyday on this earth. So what I'm trying to say is: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
As for another character I would associate with:
I'm also a fan of Ultraman (shocker!) and I love the character of Ultraman Hikari (again, shocker!)

He's canonically the head scientist of the Space Science Technology Bureau of The Land of Light, essentially the chief engineer of the entier planet (once again, shocker!)

Wow... This was a lenghty post, I hope I didn't bore you to death lol.

The fight lasted three days but I finally prevailed.

And not only you won the avatar, but you are now promoted to the rank of Young Hero too! Congratulations!

Edit: fixed typo.

Mines a real photo of me of course, just hangin' out with my suckers and tentacles and shit.

Sweet! More appendages to play games with.

Majority of my interest are influence on Japanese media, then some western obscure musics and Cool YouTube essayist.
Although you may think is unrelated to my profile, but Ya...this is different view to Nier ideas is what i could relate to me. Nier and Kaneki were big Ideal character to my life. Also Grenouille from Perfume by Patrick Süskind.
Nier is very an abstract ideal of the guy who choice to do whatever it takes to deal morally questionable action. I sincerely to Nier motives that has an in-depth character approach to saved his sister. Although I don't actually play Nier-Replica but this video did makes me appreciated more about Nier for that reason. And when I listening some Nier-Replica Ost, I'm always tear-up and sympathies wholeheartedly.

 

[Tonberry]

I got jealous of people using gifs for avatars, so I wanted one too!
I was researching the Ys games and found these super good looking sprite-based cutscenes from some older one and I figured that was a perfect time to switch

Oh hold on a second I know who you are. I recognize you from the NintendoLife forums. Welcome man! Nice to see a familiar face.

Gotta admit, that's a sweet GIF of Adol in action!

 

[CaptainJupiter]

Mine's not complex or anything. I like superhero Tokusatsu shows (live action Japanese superhero shows) like Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, etc. I picked an avatar of Big One from a sentai called JAKQ

just because he's generally awesome and his costume has that old school "goofy but epic" style. The actual show he is in, JAKQ, isn't very good and by the time he appears the show had basically gone completely downhill quality wise, but he was a fun character with a great suit regardless.
