I like avatars. I mostly like mine. But some of yours, too. What do they mean...?
Suden is interested in YOU.
Well, regarding some questions, anyway.
(#0) Which Sci-Fi multi-media franchises do you like (besides Trek)?
(#1) How often do you play 1e?
(#3) Explain your handle (forum name).
(#4) How much time do you spend with card games?
Part II:
Why did you choose your (current/previous/favourite) avatar(s)?
Bonus questions: (how) did you make it (yourself)?
My answers...

Over the decades I've used various simple layer-based tools to crop and cobble together my images, such as these -- and wallpapers. Nothing fancy. It did prepare me for reverse-engineering my own 1e layout template, with which I can -- in a very inconvenient manner -- create some card types myself, in satisfactory quality.[/hidden]

- The 3 hammers design on blue background (see, currently, somewhere in the hidden part of my forum post signature): a compilation of at least 15 visual elements which I captured or drew myself and that mean something to me. There's a Constitution Refit saucer section blueprint in there!
- South Park's Jared (see, also, in my signature): because I have been known to "flog dead horses" in trying to build bridges.
- Lure of the Nexus: because I actually do like horses. And, because I'm even more fond of the bald captain, I chose this half of the card's image.
- The orange Crystaline Entity-like thing: it was my very first avatar at the very first forum I was on, in 2002.
- The Punisher skull (from the soundtrack cover): I like the design, the movie, and the musical score. I first made it as an avatar in 2006 for MSN. ("For what!?")
- My own STCCG card, with the SCUBA diving pic: well, because it's one of my personas. Duh. It's riddled with inside jokes and easter eggs, and while positively Gary Stue in some respects, it also has some exagerated mitigating circumstances. I love making my own cards! Don't we all?
- Any of the above avatars -- but with an overlay of SENTENCED's music single's cover: to show that "no one's there" (i.e., saying "AFK").
