Explain your stupid avatar.

Mine is Ranxerox, a male sex bot slave that I first read in Heavy Metal Magazine. I always loved reading his story line, and he looks wicked and Punk. The story is totally un-pc in today's culture. So I thought it fit.

Mine is from the cover to a single from a few years ago by the total Ameritrashy band Slough Feg. I pretty much always use their covers as avatars. This particular song is called LASER ENFORCER.



Slightly NSFW due to a topless spear-wielding woman. This particular link is to a rough cut btw, not the fully produced song on the album.

My favourite Heavy Metal character, next to the MetaBaron!

My favorite Heavy Metal character is Hanover Fiste. He even became a regular supporting character in the Dreadstar comic.

"Lincoln Sternn, you stand here accused of 12 counts of murder in the first degree, 14 counts of armed theft of Federation property, 22 counts of piracy in high space, 18 counts of fraud, 37 counts of rape... and one moving violation. How do you plead?"

I loved Hanover Fiste, too. I miss Dreadstar.

I just changed mine to a picture of me playing giant Jenga without a helmet.

Back in the beginning I'd probably have picked a counter from Dragon pass or Nomad Gods, but someone had already cornered that market.

It was a Dave Trampier's illustration I think. Black and white, with two people?

Mine is the ever recognizable Duke Guerera (played by Henry Silva) from the 1982 smash hit Megaforce:



As to why I chose it, Ive always liked making obscure references to things I like and I thought this movie was amazing...when I was 6. Guerera was kind of the bad guy in the film, but in the end, as far as I can recall, the "hero" just shakes his hand and then runs away on his flying motorcycle...I always found that amusing.

I think I briefly used an avatar similar to this from the same movie:


I'll probably get bored of it some day, but I mostly lurk most places I visit, so not worried with messing with too many heads if I change.
