General / Off-Topic How did you select your avatar image?

Most useless thread ever ?

Why? It can be really interesting to see stories behind people's avatars or personal reasons to choose this or that.
It can enhance you overall picture of people you're sharing the galaxy with and talking to and socially interacting with here on the forums on daily basis.

That is, if you want, of course. If you don't, why post at all?

Mine's old. From a long abandoned gaming forum that I was an admin for. It and my username have followed me through several other gaming forums.
 
I used to have an Imperial Eagle but now I have this blue thing because I lack creativity!

Here you go Philip, a Basilisk, it's blurry on the edges but at 100*100 it's invisible :D

I searched for something extremely specific, not knowing if it existed. Luckily, it existed.

tl;dr: I stole it.

At Christmas he wears a hat which I made him

It was a difficult decision, but I feel this image best conveys the empty vacuum of space in which all our adventures take place.
 
Now, truth is not always a pleasant thing. But it is necessary now to make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless *distinguishable*, avatar choices: one where you got twenty million people killed, and the other where you got a hundred and fifty million people killed.

Mine started as a bet with my wife. After reading about the gamer-gate thing, she bet me that if I signed up to a gaming forum with a feminine looking avatar, someone would send me an anatomical picture within 3 months.. So far, I'm winning the bet. The feminine pictures in question is from an old neuromancer book.

You just lost- check your in box.... [haha]





... mods, this is called a 'joke'. :p
 
I adore the traits of Tony Stark (Iron Man) and wanted a sophisticated looking guy with sunglasses that fits into Elite lore. I'm roleplaying an eccentric, provocative speed junkie that supports the Empire and plays primarly as smuggler/trader to further his private wealth.

Nothing says "Gimme all your stuff" better than smouldering eyes, dreadlocks and a bandanna ;)
(A few lashings with the multicannon help, too!)

Hmm, it may be that i am too old, but i think both the licence and the avatar pic are not intimidating at all. rather cute to be honest. Like a little kitten going "rraaawr" for the first time ;)

As far as my Avatar goes: i am nicked "cylly" since the late 80ties so it kinda stuck to me. ;)

BTW: wife got me a booblehead as a present recently, now can i have that in my cocpit?!?
