It's a deer with a beard.

It's from the cover or something of the game Inherit the Earth. It's probably the 8th avatar I've used so far, not sure what'll be next or when.

I had difficulties to choose myself a good avatar. I still don't know should I keep this or not. I do like the movie but I think my avatar would be better if I could come up with something more original. Oh well..

Excellent, thank you!

Now I'm struggling to imagine what it'd be like to swing a bat with two left arms.

It is my state of mind mostly.

Ha! I sold this puzzle toy on ebay the other day so it was a photo I happened to have on my machine at the right time. I was tired of not having any avatar at all here.

But the story behind it would be the story of why you like Court of the Crimson King so much?

For me it (the album, not my avatar) is an album which was put on tape for me by my brother-in-law, who liked King Crimson a lot. I recognised "I talk to the wind" from a seventies-psychedelic tape someone had put together for me years ago and when I heard the whole album on the firstmentioned tape, I decided I liked it so much I bought it. It got company on my CD-shelf by Circus, Discipline and Three of a Perfect pair later on.

A completely different story, that of my avatar: For my first Baldur's Gate character I unknowingly picked Xan's portrait, only to find out later it was an NPC's portrait I picked. My second runthrough of Baldur's Gate I created a half-elven bard and liked to give him a similar portrait, as I'd fallen in love with the look of pointy ears and purple robe. So I went scouting on portrait sizes and found this portrait for my bard named Kheltick. When I got to know GOG, I wanted an avatar that had to do with what I think is the Goodest Old Game (or more grammatically correct, the BOG - Best Old Game): Baldur's Gate. The choice was easily made, cropping the picture to make it look right this small took some more time (I wanted the face to be still recognizable and thus compromised robe and ears).

If you think TL;DR, well, the question was for a story, right?

Yes, it really is!

My Avatar: Well, it´s the logo of a company I worshiped some time ago (before it has been sold to the devil)...

Booze...

I like DBZ
Super Saiyan's are badass

Hmm... I always thought it was supposed to be a pro wrestler, the face in the smaller image looks like the masks many of them wear.

Its Alice in creepyland.

It was supposed to be a beard. But having four arms and being quite strong, I think he would do quite well in wrestling. :-)

Apple zealot. :D

It's a very long story. I like XIII, I like the video game related, I use an avatar I get in the GOG package. Hmm... Not so long in fact.

Mine is the Skyrim symbol and I have it because I was really addicted to the game for quite some time. I might go through it from beginning to end again soon.
