what is it? whats it all about? why did you choose it? and what others have you had in the past?
Mine is Deadpool. He's a comic book character from Marvel. He's a mercenary for hire, and he's mental unstable. I chose him because he reminds me to never take things too seriously. And my previous avatars have been spider-man, and Cloud from Final Fantasy.

It's Suika Ibuki, from the Touhou series.
She's an Oni, which is sort of like the equal to the western word "Troll" due to the horns and.. Wait.. Oni's are supposed to be manly, nasty and have horns. Oh well. This is Japan we're talking about.
She looks like a little girl, yet she's probably Really Seven Hundred Years Old. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReallySevenHundredYearsOld) Again, it's Japan.
Oh, and she loves feasts and she's constantly drunk. She's responsible for the story-line in one of the Touhou games for making people hold feasts every 3 days.
Aaand she can manipulate density, so she can grow huge, turn herself into a mist, and make black holes. That sort of thing.
tl;dr
Drunk, strong loli with horns. What's not to like?

Mine is a tatto I've considered getting, but I haven't decided if it's something I want to do, yet. Permanent is a long time.
I love birds in general and sparrows are simple and endearing to me. There is also a verse that goes something like "Not one sparrow falls apart from the Father's will." That has personal significance and would be a good reminder if I did get that tattoo. Aside from that, in general I just like how it looks.

My avvie is the cover of the Beatles album Revolver. I happen to be a fan of The Beatles, having around 7 hours of their songs, reading several biographies of the Beatles, and really collecting nothing else.
Abbey Road has been used before on here, so I didn't want to seem like a jackass for copying another person's avatar. The cover for Revolver seems the most dreamlike to me. I am considering getting another one, probably of Rubber Soul, Yellow Submarine, or Magical Mystery Tour next.

My avatar is of the White Rabbit, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I really have no reason for choosing him, other than I had had my previous avatar/signature for a while and thought it was time for a change. I like this one though, so it will probably be around for a while :3
The one I had before this was of a Metroid from the Metroid video game series, and the one before that was of a crow picking up a doll, this being was from a scene in an anime called Air. I also recently had a Casablanca themed avatar, but only for about 10 minutes. I will save that one for later...

Ramza from FF Tactics...Bridget from Guilty Gear...that cheerleader I hit on, on that faithful Halloween night... I must thank you for letting so many bad memories involving gender confusion flow back to me in one swift torrent. :P
Anyway, my av should be pretty self-explanatory. I made it myself in response to an av I saw where there was a vegetarian instead, hugging the cow like a damn PeTA member. Well let me tell you what PeTA really stands for: People eating Tasty Animals. That's what it stands for, and that's what I stand for.
...And yes, I did in fact intend the overall effect of my av to be as crude, crass and insensitive as it is. I'll probably take it off at the end of the month...by then I should have offended just enough people with it.

My avatar is actually from a bumper sticker that my local coffee house Jittery Joe's gives you when you buy their Alternative Fuel coffee blend. Alternative Fuel is a blend that was given the name because it supports bicycling awareness as a alternative transportation method. I chose it as my avatar because I not only think it looks really cool but also because I am signifying that I also support bicycling as an alternative method of transportation.

Terra, the de facto main protagonist of Final Fantasy VI (who is also in my sig). Not only is she the best character from the best FF game (IM"H"O), but she's had special meaning to me ever since I had a certain dream involving her. Occasionally she'll still pop into my dreams, but it's a rare occurrence these days, given the fact that I can hardly remember beans about my dreams these days.
Plus, she has green hair. Ain't nothing that can top that.

The Karner Blue Butterflies like a flower called Blue Lupines which they are dependent on for procreation, so if you want to help, go to <www.Nature.org> and make a donation, or volunteer, or see if you are located where the species exists and if planting Blue Lupines on your land for them could help!

I've kidnapped Adam's Avie because I think it's so awesome, and also one that (I think) SomeGuy used to use. I don't recall what it was though now, other than stick figure/s doing something silly.
But I won't ever use them though out of respect for those who used them first.
