So people see me as a lizard in a trench-coat smoking a cigarette?

Awesome.

But what does that make my "implied tone"?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

I like to keep a little consistency in my avatars, unless I end up getting bored with a theme. Thank goodness Halloween was a temporary change of pace with the Gigyas avatar.

Excuse me for sounding like everyone else, but what comes to mind about my personality/how I sound when you look at my avatar/s?

The shading kinda ruins the immersion.

Also, He looks deeply confused about whether he is a trigger happy xcom soldier or a short dwarf.

That you don't really care about your appearance, I guess.  You gotta do something about those black backgrounds.  They aren't a good look for you.

Personally I take people's avatars as how they want to be seen. I take it as if it was their face.

Which is a problem because I happen to take a lot of things seriously and often don't catch onto sarcasm

The more I think about it, the more I realise that I don't really hear anyone speaking when reading out text.  I just sortof see the text without any voice.  Actually, I get the same thing with some characters in books, and end up imagining them as a fictional entity rather than a person.
