Pff. Homestuck avatars are for the weak. That's why I only have 3.

I made this during the last penguin avatar fad. It is Gene Starwind of Outlaw Star as a penguin.

My avatar is the Omega Space Pirate from Metroid Prime; which some consider the hardest boss in that game. (I don't.)

I have been poking around with my avatar recently though, so it might change.

Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

This time it's Garry, from Ib, which is an RPG Maker horror game kind of like Yume Nikki but not that much.

It the cover of the Collector's Hardcover Edition ( I think) of Gardens of the Moon, which is an awesome book, and it looks cool. Ergo avatar.

I have shfited through various death metal album covers, and once had death metal penguin. They come from the cursed stars, where we all seek our anwsers under a funeral moon.

Probably thats why they are used with pentagrams on covers of Satanic Black Metal albums.

I was using a random image of a fox I found on the internet, but it was taller than it was wide, so whe we upgraded to SMF 2.0 and Toady fixed the 80x80 avatar limitation, it didn't look good.

I started using a different one and eventually another forumite offered to sprite me an 80x80 white fox, so I had that and was using it on some other forums, when a member mentioned that it reminded them of Okami, I logged on the next day and one of the Administrators of that forum had resprited my avatar into its current form, I've been using it since.

My avatar is the late Terence McKenna, scholar and explorer of the weird, psychedelic lecturer and philosophical ranter. Some of his ideas may have been a little hard to swallow, but his lectures are like a mind-expanding substance on their own because of his unorthodox perspective combined with his indepth knowledge of orthodox topics of many fields.

The current avatar is part of the artwork for the Form of the Dragon MtG card. It is indeed glorious.

Though the penguin Rjak I used to have wasn't that bad either.

My current avatar comes from my obsession with both ponies and Blues, aka Protoman, from the original Mega Man series.

Dear Urist: I, the overseer, appreciate your point of view about the danger that an unarmed goblin can represent at the other side of a fortification when you try to kill it with a ballista, but, as you know, you're not paid to think. And a mindless worker is a happy worker, so shut up and do your job.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.
