Iridium Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If they keep the avatar for a long time, yeah. For what it's worth, I have absolutely no problem with anyone connecting me to Olivier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 When I had a Mr. L avatar, I had a friend who imagined I looked like a black guy wearing Mr. L cosplay. That was pretty awesome. But no. I don't want anyone to imagine me looking like a jailbait nun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 lolol, no, not really. Though I used to try to visualize how one might look based on how they type... I think that was mentioned earlier, but, again, not really. It's different if I'm talking on a different medium with them though. Like messengers and the like.

AzureGear Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Sometimes. That is, if the avatar looks human enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentai~ Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Mmm... I usually think of their badge before their avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Or a tomboy that doesn't get enough sleep. So maybe Rehab should be using it? >__> YOU WHO HAVE OBTAINED EO4 - GO GET EO3. My avatar really is a dude. Ein will tell you all about it~! Ahem. . . I see an avatar as some pic-or-other that people want to be remembered by. Some people like putting their face on it. Others like putting fun characters there. Still others don't want an avatar. If I tried to picture people as their avatar, I'd fail on some of the tier list guys, who haven't set an avatar. (otherwise, we have a lot of Severa running around) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Maybe i should switch my avy to Miriel for those who do picture me as my avatar? She looks so much like me its kinda scary. I really dont do that. Im not seeing Lumi as Seth or Thor. I have rather distinct images in my head about some members, that have little to do with their avatars.

Paulina Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 So the thread blows up, but only half of you answer the OP question. ;_; Sniff sniff. its not fftf guise</3 I'm going to tell you something you, don't want to hear Rehab, how could you change your avvy right after I mention you by name. XD So mean. As much as I love Kavinsky, you'll always be a floating severed head. Also, I'm gonna show you where it's dark, but have no fear.

DancingDanny Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Hmm... I can only really picture people as their avatars if I can tell it's obviously not from something. Even then though, I can get at least a general picture in my head. :) Edited April 21, 2013 by DancingDanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samias Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 A lot of people assume I'm male because of my screen names and stuff, and I guess I feature males in my avatars fairly frequently. But from my posting content I feel like it would be hard to confuse me for a guy... I think?! I omitted the "Dragonlord" from my screen name here so that also kinda helps people not think I'm a guy, because people insist otherwise that if I take up the lord moniker I must be a dude. I think signatures/avatars influence my perception of a person's gender to some extent, since one guy I knew always roleplayed girls, had pictures of (modest, non fanservice) anime ladies all the time, and used female screen names.

Freohr Datia Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I tend to have a mix of imagining people looking like their avatars, or I associate the characters with users x3 And I agree that every time I see Severa, I associate her with Integ (mostly since he kept that in his skype pic for a while as well~) Now I'm gonna start associating Mami with him XD But since I know how he looks, I'll never imagine him looking like any of his avatars. Usually I don't imagine guys (or people I assume are guys, at least) looking like their avatars when they use girls x3 And even if I had not met Specta, I would not imagine her looking like Bilbo~ But when I see Bilbo, I'll probably associate him with Specta a lot~ If people use avatars that match their (supposed) genders, then I'll tend to imagine them looking like their avatars =3 And as for Tangerine, when users have two or more characters in their images, I just imagine the user looking like the character that I think suits their personality bestest! Oh yeah and I did forget to say, since people usually imagine people looking like their avatars, I'd sometimes use a sprite based off of me as an avatar~ Edited April 23, 2013 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Honestly, I usually do. Even if the avatar doesn't match their displayed gender, (although I still imagine them being whatever gender I know them to be, which can be weird at times) or, in fact, their species. Unless, of course, I happen to know for a fact what the person actually looks like, or have something to give me an idea. If there are multiple characters in their avatar, it's whichever of those characters fits most with their personality. If their avatar is an inanimate object... Congratulations, you're an inanimate object. Edited April 22, 2013 by Starlight36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
