What does your avatar say about'cha?

By I. J. Thompson, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hello, people!

If more 'personal' threads like these are unwelcome on these boards, please report it and let's get it closed. Otherwise... disclose!

I read everybody's posts here, and I sort of match up the words to the avatar. Sometimes they match, sometimes they don't. Sometimes a member's avatar gives me a sense of the person behind the words, sometimes it leaves me scratching my head. So I'm wondering... how does your avatar reflect your gaming attitudes, your personality, and, well... you? I'll go first, since I started this dumb thread:

Ellen Tigh : Disruptive, mischievous, irreverent, and occasionally(?) drunk.

You?

Mine says I don't know how (if it's even possible) to upload my usual avatar, which is just a picture of me. So failing that I picked a Rebel symbol because of all the "kinds" of pics, Star Wars wins, and when it comes to Star Wars , Rebels all the way.

Mine was just one I thought looked cool. I love the old west. Since I can't have my usual Merc with the Mouth avatar.

Mine says I want them to add more avatar options.

and when it comes to Star Wars , Rebels all the way.

Quite right to!

Mine says that I chose one of the TIE Interceptor ones cuz it looked cool, saw at least two people with that and swapped to the A-Wing because A-Wings are also cool. Also, having a bit of color is awesome.

I've had mine since I joined the site near the end of '08 (blimey, that's a long time...) and I haven't felt the need to change it.

Back then, Twilight Imperium was pretty much the only FFG game I played, and of the TI avatars, the Embers of Muaat was the coolest (or should I say the " hottest" ?). They also remind me of the Mondoshawans (the aliens at the beginning of the Fifth Element ), the resemblance to which I find amusing.

Not sure if that tells you anything about me, other than the fact that I really enjoy TI ! :D

Even though I'm a big fan of Star Wars and the new RPG (which is, of course, awesome!), I'm keeping my TI avatar. :P

Mine says "Hey, I bet nobody else will choose this because it's pretty boring."

I wanted a Star Wars avatar as we can't upload our own. I like Y-wings.

Mine says that R2-D2 is a stone-cold pimp.

Mine says that the new forum avatar selection doesn't seem to load probably and I can't actually see the pictures on selection so I picked one of the X-Wing Mini's avatars at random and it turned out to be this one. I'm not unhappy.

Mine says that generic R2 astromechs are stein gold pumps... wait, what?

Mine says that TIE Interceptors are really cool looking.

Hi there!

I wanted to use my own picture but, I had to choose this awesome crazy/scary looking sheep XD

It remembered me those games where you have to catapult sheeps or they just do funny things.

So not directly but it probably says: funny, crazy, unortodox and maybe something more.

It says I like cats. /shrug

Mine says I'm a cynical bastard with a heart :)

Mine says I like white haired women. Problem?

Seriously? I just like Celia from Anima. If not I would have used my usual avatar.

Mine was simply a choice out of the ones given, since we can't upload our own. Otherwise, I've got an image of Season 3 Zuko with a rather goofy smile that I've been using for some time now on a couple other message boards.

Though I have been reading Song of Ice & Fire, with Jon Snow probably being my favorite character of the lot (Tyrion a close second followed by Arya).

That said, as soon as we get a decent selection of Star Wars icons, I'll probably change it to something else entirely

So true.

Until recently I used the Rebel emblem (aka the most popular avatar here). I then just went and chose a cool looking one I haven't seen as many of around.

So I strive to be different/noticed? Except I don't really think that's true at all.

That I like the order and stability that the Empire provides. That the empire has a better sense of style.. oh.. and shields are for wimps. :P

Really though. I just like Tie Interceptors, at least until I get an Icon for a Chiss Clawcraft.

I use my avatar in support of a safe and secure society :ph34r:

Same here.

I picked the TieIntProto because it's my favorite ship from WEG as a GM. Just badass enough to make a squadron a nightmare for a SLF.

We Do Not Sow!

Greyjoys are pretty sneaky sons of *******, and I laugh in the face of those accusing Feast for being dull because of their inclusion. I played Greyjoy regularly in the Board and Card game, and Asha (not Yara!) is the best of them.

FFG seems to scramble up avatar selections every so often. This time around I chose Lord Lannister because he's awesome, but mostly because this particular pic looks a bit like me.
