Why does this eagle have a jetpack???

That's Eveleen, a character from a story I've been working on. She's a robot.

Who is this lady?

That's actually Mathman from Square One TV. He's the protagonist of the Pac-Man-esque "game" he's in.

Looks like an enemy from an NES game manual.

It's a play on LGBT flags (and surrender flags, too); unfortunately, this was before I was aware of the existence of an "LGBT Ally" flag. (Which mine is better than by default because it's cleverer.)

Why the white flag?

That's Melfina from Outlaw Star. She's a navigation system.

She looks like she's in a bacta tank.

That's Larry Da Vinci from LittleBigPlanet. He's made of cardboard and newspaper.

Who is this peanut-looking guy wearing 3D glasses?

Wanted to get a Metool from Mega Man series as a Joke Character / Jobber for "Your Avatar vs the Above Avatar", and make it look cute. Actually turned out more lethal than expected.

Why is the metool crying?

????

Yep. Partners-in-crime-and-love Nice Holystone and Jacuzzi Splot (yes, that is his real name) from Baccano.

Are they in a relationship, or...

Hermes, Kino's talking motorcycle. I cropped the avatar from a chapter illustration. In it (IIRC), Kino visits a land where everyone have to wear eyeglasses that record everything they see. Apparently, this rule also applies to talking motorcycles.

I knew who that guy from Running Man is on the same row as this, though, so yay, me.

Professor E. Gadd, a friendly Mad Scientist from Luigi's Mansion (which is also where my current avatar, Vincent van Gore, is from.)

I used to wonder about this when it was your main avatar.

That's another LittleBigPlanet character, Newton. I knew no one would recognise the LittleBigPlanet characters.

Who's this guy?

It's a 19th century painting generally called either "Wanderer Above the Sea Fog" or "Wanderer Above the Mist". The most common interpretation about it is that the mist in question is the future, and the wanderer is trying to find his way through it. It's also become a popular image for works to reference, or to use on the cover of classic books in recent years. I know one edition of a Nietzsche book has the image on the cover, for example.

There's got to be a story behind this one.

That's from A Charlie Brown Christmas. After Lucy asks if he wants to direct the Christmas play, he says briefly makes this face as he says "ME?".

I know that this is Charlie Brown, but why is he like... drunk?

An OC of mine named 3D. Extremely OP, what with being an Anthropomorphic Personification of direction itself.

A Walking Spoiler from Undertale. This is Omega Flowey, the One-Winged Angel form of Flowey, who is arguably the Big Bad. See, there are multiple "routes" you can take in the game, depending on if you kill things or not. Flowey only becomes Omega Flowey in the Neutral Route, which is when you kill some characters but spare others.

My god, what is this thing?

His name is Larry Da Vinci, he's the Paper Mache Big Good in LittleBigPlanet 2.

Vlinny, a botched clone of Vinny from Vinesauce Tomodachi Life. I really should have considered how obscure that work really was before making avatars for the characters.

Nicolas Cage as the Mona Lisa. It was funny.

Yes! That's Larry-Boy of Veggie Tales.

Is that a cucumber in a costume?

That's a Plot Bunny. I used that avvie to counter Micool TNT's Writer's Block◊ in the "what would you send out to fight the last avatar" forum game.

Her name is Calia Rayfer. The female protagonist of my work Diamond Phase. More info can be found on the trope page and her DeviantArt character profile.

Is there some half-baked symbolism behind this?
