<-- Because Shiva is sessy.

Mostly, I just forget about my avatar until I get creative and make a new one, or see one that I like randomly.

Edit
Before you all jump down my back, sessy is written like that on purpose. It's a CoN chat word.

Nice thread WGG. You got the Gau propaganda thing going real well there. smile.gif

Anyway I chose this sprite because it shows Gau's more intelligent side, and it's also one of his best looking sprites in my opinion. Common thought has it that Gau is just a crazy uncontrollable freak, but he does cast magic well without going into a rage when needed. Also when it comes to picking FFVI sprites for avatars, there's a lesser chance that someone else will use the same avatar than if you used a menu portrait among other limited choices. I'd rather have the green haired version of this sprite from the expert versions.

I chose mine entirely out of admiration for 8-bit theater's Black Mage. He's one of the good guys, yet he is obviously evil. Very evil. Also, like Black Mage, I like pie. If only I could find some pie that is also evil smile.gif

Well I'm one of those members who is guilty of changing Avatars more than Britney Spears changes breast sizes.

I chose the Kain sprite for a number of reasons.
*I like Kain and Dragoons alot for obvious reasons.
*I've yet to complete a Kain Fanfic which some members might know.
*Despite the fact I would be compared more to Cecil I relate to Kain more.
*FF4 Survivor Kain is the ultimate Badass.
*The Kain sprite looks like Dynasty Warriors 3 Ma Chao.
*It was my first Avatar and has become a part of me.

I always liked kefka, and i made my sig pic myself of him... hoping it'd be my avi, but that's ok. I drew kefka with my old comp on that crappy ball mouse i still have.

kefka's a well rounded character. and he's nuts. crazy i tell you. and that's on;y a step away from being a genius.

well, at least, here's the pic i drew of kefka... the face so far

i forgot pics uploaded by people aren't allowed, or something.

I'm not sure why, but it's important for me to have an avatar that isn't used by anyone else, even a "member" who posts like 10 times and then leaves for good. I originally had b-day suit from VI, but then fignuts took that, then I switched to Amarant from IX, but then someone else took that, so finally I landed on the Viking. It's an obscure enough sprite that not many people would even think to use it, but it's still pretty b.a. in its own right.

Well, I used a lughing Edgar when I first came (which GamblingCat used for a while, I'm not sure if he does anymore), and I used Sabin a couple of times, then I went through a period where I changed my avatar to a new female twice a day. During this period I used Terra, Celes, Relm, Dog (from FFIV), and some others, but I really like the female archer from FFT (because she's hawt, and I've always liked archery). After that stage was over, I used Edgart's menu pic for a while, and now, I'm back to the good ol' FFT female archer menu pic.

I chose Chrono because a man who lets his Katana do the talking is cool in my book!

--------------------
Chrono Triggers rock super-group:

Ozzie - lead singer from Black Sabbath
Flea - Bassist from Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Slash - Guitarist from Guns 'n' Roses

He drinks and smokes his cares away
His heart is in the lonely way
Living in the ruins
Of a castle built on sand...

frankly, i don't think chrono ever talked. let alone had his sword talk for him. he's the strong silent type, but that's still cool to me.

Are you trying to be funny, or do you really not get what he meant when he said that Crono let his sword do the talking?

WHOA! hey guys common... before you incur the wrath of the mods, plz settle it in PM....

anyway... i have been thinking... and i have decided that magus is now a part of me and as far as i know there is nobody else using the 'prophet' as their avator... so until someone else starts using it as their avator i shall remain being magus regardless of my previous method of choice

I'm using this one because, well, I like Mad Scientists. Unfortunately, this is the only Mad Scientist that I know of on your avatar sheet.

I dunno, when I applied here my name struck me like some sort of divine inspiration. So naturaly I had to have a corrisponding pic. I liked the "Freaked out Ultros Spirte" Better than the mugshot.

Pug: Cute but deadly. And uber cool.
Strago: I recently realized that I was very blue-mage-ish, and no one else seems to like Strago enough to use him as an avatar, so I picked Strago.

After weeks of lobbying for this particular avatar's release, I finally got my wish, and I haven't changed it for months, if not years.

I picked mine because, even though I have no idea whatsoever about it's origin, IT LOOKS REALLY COOL!!

I was going to take the Vincent Valentine mugshot, but I like Giant Robots better.
