My Avatar is Awesome

[Ambrus]

Pretty much that's what it is. I thought it would be cool to have an ooze reading a book, it's one of those images that are not always seen in games

Well, books are organic so I guess an ooze might eat them on occasion.

Hmm, that could make an interesting story hook; an ooze that develops sentience and intelligence after reading some magical tomes and ever after hungers for knowledge. I have to keep that in mind.

So is it some kind of self referencial statement? You tend to devour books rather than just flip through them?

Crothian, I've always wondered; what is your avatar? It looks to me like a green slime reading/eating a book.

Wow, I feel silly; I've always missaw that. I thought it was an oddly shaped helmet with a golden nose piece and blackened eyeholes so the eyes could never be seen. Although now that Ooze Bookreader has been mentioned, I'll never see it in any other way.

Mine's just a neat angle I liked from an Anime I liked. I had it as some alien creature before, which also looked cool, though I admit I changed it after seeing something even moderately neat because I had just seen like the second or third OTHER person with my same Avatar and wanted it changed as soon as possible.

I guess it can be seen on many levels. I do devour books, I read RPG books like novels cover to cover usually in one sitting.

But it really came from people starting to call me Oozemaster since that's my favoirite prestige class. So, I'm refered to as an ooze by some people at times.

The funniest was someone asking if it was Bubba Fett's helmet getting slimed, so its not like you are the only one that didn't know what it is.

As long as I can remember, Crothian's had some form of an ooze as his avatar.

Hehe. Yeah, I can kinda picture that if I use my imagination.

Hmmm, I've only ever seen this one Avatar for Crothian. I'd be terribly confused if he ever changed.

You know I was the same - I too just always thought Crothians avatar a dark knight's helmet or something. How odd. I too felt very silly, and even stranger, I realised what it was for the first time in this thread (even before the discussion on it). Very funny.

Mine is rather boring. It is just a thri kreen head I whipped up so I had an avatar. I used to love drawing thri kreen all over my uni notes

Now I feel all smart and proud because I managed to nail Crothian's avatar right away. Yay me!

I had the symbol for the OSU Buckeyes, I had a broken post reply button (sheer brilliance to the fine man who thought of that one!!), I had a short lived Bone Ooze but the image was too small to really recognize it easily, I had a really cool pick of Zoot, and I've had others.

One day I'll have a "design my avatar" contest.

I like ol' Gandalf, but I'm wanting something new lately....
