Yay! New avatar! I scanned in the concept art of Nahiri from the Art of Zendikar. It looks awesome.

It was originally the Grixis mana symbols combined into one, but I thought it looked kinda weird for what it was, so I stuck with the black mana symbol since it's the core color of Grixis and my favorite color in Magic.
Jace was my favourite planeswalker 6 years ago when I was last really active on here and I'm too lazy to change it now.

The picture was a gift from a friend. It's meant to be me as a pony. Playing Magic, obviously.
The original was done in colored pencil, and I turned it into a vector.
The other avatar I use around the web (for example, my Gravatar) is Pasiap, the Immaculate Dragon of Earth clipped from the inside cover of Manual of Exalted Power: Dragon-Blooded, one of the books for the Exalted Second Edition tabletop RPG:
As you might be able to tell from my signature, I am a fan of both MLP and Exalted.
“It filled my head, that muttering sound, like thick oily smoke from a fat-rendering vat or an odour of noisome decay. And as I lay and tossed about, the voice in my ears seemed more distinct, and I began to understand the words he had muttered. They came to me slowly as if I had forgotten them, and at last I could make some sense out of the sounds. It was this: "Have you found the Yellow Sign?" "Have you found the Yellow Sign?" "Have you found the Yellow Sign?”
― Robert W. Chambers, The King in Yellow
I wish I had a deep reason for choosing mine but don't. I chose mine because I'm a Tennessee Vols fan and I really like the saying in it as it is very true in MTG as well as in life.

I used to love the candy Nerds, but I stopped eating them when I realized that for me, it was basically cannibalism. -- Rob O'Reilly
Not a big fan of the comic itself ever since I stopped being a teenager. I stopped keeping up with it over 10 years ago, but Percy the Cat was always my favorite character.

Mine is the symbol of the series of Dragon computers made in Wales. The Dragons were 6809 8 bit computers, cousins of the TRS-80 CoCo.
Needless to say, I loved them.

People with belligerent signatures are trying to compensate for something....
Because I am at my best when i am actively doing things selflessly for others. I have won FNMs in order to donate the box prize to others who have had cards stolen, I become hyper-focused when playing opponents who insult friends, and i really did lift the car in my profile pic to save a life.

Because dinosaurs are pretty cool, but immense, hand-drawn, gorgeous drawings of a world of humans and sentient dinosaurs coexisting is even cooler. For those who don't know, I mean Dinotopia. Loved it as a kid, still do now (and appreciate how great the art is even more).
"It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
--Buck v Bell, 1927. This case, regarding the compulsory sterilization of inmates at mental institutions, has -- somehow -- never been overturned. Just a wee PSA for ya.
When I decided to finally write a primer for Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, I wanted something that more reflected the nature of the deck. A specific character came to mind that describes my play style, and particularly how I play the tune. Since it was anime I wanted it to be something a bit more stylized so it wasn't just "Yet another generic anime avatar". The title came next.
"Urahara can usually be found near the scene of an important event, but he rarely intervenes in situations, preferring to stay on the sidelines. He often knows more information than he lets on, and despite being a major player in the situation, he acts only as a catalyst, having others do the work for him. Urahara is often manipulative, tricking people into doing what he wants them to."
Mine is the artwork for "Bantam of the Opera", a Chicken-tribal card for unglued which got cut from the final release and which I find unreasonably funny.

I have a couple of avatars I switch between, the other primary one being Griever from FF8 because I like what it represents to Squall.
