My avatar/sig combo comes from an unusual inspiration for drawing Ivan in a 1920's Mafia/Mobster style, then pulling up on the "paying the ferryman" idea, as the first few forums I used it on I am named "Charon" or "Charon the Ferryman".

Except for one day, I've always had an Ivan avatar here XD (the other was this really funny rolling Karst sprite captioned "ROFL")

I'm using my avatar because Qui Gon Jinn is awesomeness (Liam ftw!!!) My signature is cool because a friend of mine on this site made it for me. I forgot his name though because I'm terrible with names. Also, I <3 Arcanine; he's one of my all-time favorite Pokemon.

My avatar is my avatar because... I'm not sure, really. I just haven't had the urge to change it since I put that one there. My signature on the other hand, that is the way it is, because that's the way I roll.

I tend to change themes occasionally and many of them are derived from manga I've read and are chosen mostly by whatever fandom I'm into at the time. My current one however, features TP's Remilia as drawn by one of my favourite fan-artists.
featured series: touhou project
coordinated by and joined with: aea

familiar of knowledge. koakuma.
scandalous matriarch love affair and pair. aea illegitimate lovechild. mika loyal steed of comradery. scarlet live-in sisterly familiar. ninetales
Avvy ; I was browsing the web looking for pictures and that came up. It's supposed to look like Azelf and Mew air crashed, but they just look wasted to me.
What's not to love about an exploding pixie and flying cat anyways?

Signature ; I was messing around with templates, lake trio pictures, and text effects in Photoshop..
I wanted a fresh new look for PC, but one that looked a little fancy. I adore the lake trio, so I made a neat transparent banner for them. :'3

Trapinch is one of my favorite Pokemon, and I'm an Ed, Edd n Eddy fan. There ya go.

I woulda gone with something Flygon related, since Flygon is my favorite Pokemon, but Fly-Eds didn't really sound all that good...

I chose my avvy because Azelf = Ipod, yeah idk either lol. Anyways i like it. ^.^

As for my sig, it was actually an experiment with CSS, i never actually meant to keep it, but when i had finished it i figured i might aswell keep it regardless.

Oh. I just drifted off for like fifteen minutes, reading the thread linked in iZelf's sig..

I don't like big flashy banner themes right now. I mean, others can have them and look great, but me, nah.

Crystal fad was a cute thing! Now they're overused. So... hello D/P/P sprites. And Chingling was the epitome of cuteness in my PMD2. So. There you have it. Simple, but fitting. Because I am cute. Too.
And the text, well I'm still known as Fable. And then some nice words. And then one of the best beverages in the world.

The whole theme comes from what I think the "World King" character would look like:

Avy: What would World King look like as a sprite (which PWNs, btw).

Sig: Just one of W.K.'s many quotes, and the banner represents what his power is: A combination of Light and Darkness in his very soul, unleashing a new power unimaginable (Two sides in One Soul). The Lugia are there just because they're my favorite Pokémon. xD

Avatar - I finally got around to putting one up. He was my favorite contestant on Solitary, so I decided: "You know what? I already have phone wallpapers, so I'm taking this one step further. Hello new avatar!"

Signature - It's my signature because I did it. I like black backgrounds. I might change it when I acquire more coding skills.

I generally just pick an avatar from a show I like, or one I think is pretty or cool looking. then as for my signature, I really can't be bothered to make an actual nice image or banner, so I choose a song based off my mood. after that, I try to spiff it up with bolding or colors XD;
