Draco Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 What I mean is...Do you think someone would choose an avatar that would fit their personality? And as such, do you think that someone that doesn't know said person could assume their personality, based on the features of their avatar?For example, if someone you didn't know had an avatar that was of a depressed-looking male, you might think that person would be kind of sad IRL and/or a male, right? And if someone else had a smiling, happy looking person, they might seem more approachable? For one, I think my current one makes me look like a Lovable Rogue.

Knight Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Somewhat, yeah. I imagine posters posting with the same expression as their avatar a lot of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonretic Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 well judging by your avatar I think that you are Link and I'm pretty impressed that at least you are writing if you don't want to speak at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esme Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yeah, I think they would. I mean, I kinda do that, so I'm sure most other people would do the same. Also, about the personality thing, that's a bit harder. All the content that a person has on their profile is a representation of them (Or at least the way they act online.), but that's not always the case. Some people might act a lot differently than what their avatar, signature, etcetera would suggest. It's a good way to get a first impression of someone on the WORLD WIDE WEB, though.

Starman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That's actually the thought process that went through me into looking for my current avi The lax look and how Raven looks pretty near how i look IRL is also a little plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ownagepuffs Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 My avatar and profile are meant to convey the things that I love. I love Air TV, that anime had me crying like a bitch. Hence my Avi. I love .Hack to pieces. Hence my location and member title. Jade is my favorite "Tales of" character. Hector is not my favorite lord but he had the coolest sprite of all my favorite lords. Yeah, I think they would. I mean, I kinda do that, so I'm sure most other people would do the same. Also, about the personality thing, that's a bit harder. All the content that a person has on their profile is a representation of them (Or at least the way they act online.), but that's not always the case. Some people might act a lot differently than what their avatar, signature, etcetera would suggest. It's a good way to get a first impression of someone on the WORLD WIDE WEB, though. Your avi fits you so well. I can't describe it, it's just... Pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaMonkey Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Generally, my avatar doesn't fit my personality at all, instead, they just showcase the things/characters I like. As for other people, I don't associate them with their avatar in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
