Mine is the emblem to the Commonwealth navy from the hit game I-War, it has Independence War written on it and the ship shown is the NSO-929 series Dreadnaught corvette.

My banner below is from the same game showing the Commonwealth navy on the left, their insignia in the centre and the Indie movement navy on the right fighting for independence.

My avatar is Saitoh Hajime from the anime Rurouni Kenshin. He is the former captain of the 3rd Unit of the Shinsengumi. He's about the only person who can fight the main character to a draw, and is one cynical SOB.

There's only two avatars that I've used since I've started on this board, but I'll probably change it again with a rank promotion.

Avatar 1: Gazel Ministry member, from Xenogears (scrapped it early on because it seemed pretentious).
Avatar 2 (Current): Seal of the Humankind Empire Abh, from Hiroyuki Morioka's Seikai no Senki books. Unfortunately, I had to swipe it from a screengrab of the anime (the grab wasn't of the best quality, being from a VHS copy of the original broadcast).

My last avatar was a picture of Marco from Sealab 2021. Funny show, and Marco is my favorite.

My current avatar is the KGB long service medal, which goes with my whole Commissar schtick very well.

Mine's a picture of a Barrett M82, which is a semi automatic .50 BMG rifle that can really reach out and put holes thru things. It'll reach out and put a hole thru you and both sides of your car from over a mile away.

I usually alternate my avatars with character portraits from Xenogears.
Right now I'm using my own cheaply made avatar to illustrate the point that good guys are sissies.

My avatar is the logo of Black Mesa Research Facility's Lambda Sector. I just updated it with a better image that I took from Half-Life's loading splash screen.

I chose it primarily because of my TGOD/RPG personality, Johan Ragle. His backstory is somewhat tied into Half-Life's story; a survivor of the interdimensional breach who somehow wound up in the STGOD universe.

Mine is one of the Chapter markers from the Wheel of Time books. The actual file is borrowed from the WOT Faq. I always liked them and decided to use them. My first avatar was also a WOT chapter marker I colorized.

Mine is a piece of art a cartoonist chap I know drew up. It has no meaning, but is cool to look at.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.

Mine is clipped from a piece of concept art from a video game called War of Genesis. The artwork is by Hyung Tae Kim. His work is great. The reason I use it is because it looks a little like me and the entire picture is how I see one of my Vampire characters looking.

Here's the full picture.

Mine is from Catch-22. I picked it because Bean was bothering me about it and I didn't want to get one that was all nicely detailed with a character or one with an airplane or something like that. Besides, Heller is a very good writer and I sometimes do feel as if I'm trapped by a huge number of idiots and silly rules, and I still don't want to show off with a really flashy avatar or signature. It worked out perfectly.

My previous one was a B-52 carrying some Skybolt ALBMs. That got discarded in favor of the Galactic Republic's symbol.

This is completely off-topic, but since that thread was closed, I just want to congratulate MoO for his new Avatar.
