Is your avatar a reflection of you or projection of you?

**miche001** · 11-13-2010, 07:18 AM

Looking at mine, I'd definitely say projection. I hate talking on the phone--she should have a pen and journal in her hand. Or with smoke over her head as she's trying to write out a book.

It may be from my old, "wannabe extrovert" days.

Thinking of changing.

It's a "vision" of the self, most certainly.

**OwenF** · 11-13-2010, 07:25 AM

I'm going to go with inflection. I realize that this is cheating, for which I apologize, but I did make an effort to preserve the rhyme.

Rolemodel

I don't care if he's from a children's cartoon. Chuck Norris has nothing on Uncle Iroh.

**Jonathan Brewer** · 11-13-2010, 09:39 AM

No connection whatsoever.

**LionsPride** · 11-13-2010, 09:44 AM

Projection. I don't just mean the avatar, I mean the character too. LionsPride and I have a lot of things in common, but we have our differences. Most of the avatars that suit LionsPride are not perfect reflections of who I am, but they often suit LP rather well.

**Synchronicity** · 11-13-2010, 09:46 AM

My avatar is somewhat of an antithesis. Prim, orthodox, prudish. I am none of those things. Well, sometimes I am, but only as a matter of necessity, not of preference.

**cannotseethe** · 11-13-2010, 10:06 AM

Mine's a suggestion.

**Eye on Earth** · 11-13-2010, 01:41 PM

Neither. It is a picture of me.

**Ilara** · 11-13-2010, 09:27 PM

Something I drew a long time ago that feels a lot like what it feels like to be in my head. A projection of my consciousness, then.

**Supaslim** · 11-13-2010, 11:15 PM

Mine is a reflection of myself. Not literally, of course- turkey vultures can't type. But we are both generally quiet, collect dead things, have an undeserved bad reputation, are more important than we seem... We have a lot in common, turkey vultures and I.

Although, I don't typically pee on my leg when I'm hot.

A reflection. And it does the job quite well.

So is mine

(My avatar was a gift whose creator didn't even know me. But his intuition helped him make a proper interpretation of my self.)

**GeminiDKH** · 11-14-2010, 03:54 PM

Mine is an aspiration.

**Imagineering** · 11-14-2010, 04:16 PM

I picture the guy in my avatar as a pizza delivery driver/ college student.

**Anima Mundi** · 11-14-2010, 05:44 PM

My current avatar is a reflection of my ideal companion, especially in terms of personality (it's revealed throughout the game he's in.)

**teri** · 11-14-2010, 06:04 PM

My avatar IS me, sort of. It's a picture that I took of myself a few months ago for applying for Promotional modeling/marketing jobs(I do beer, alcohol and other promos). Surprisingly I don't have a problem socializing for short periods of time when I have a script. In real-life, I really can't talk to people at all.

**El Cas** · 11-14-2010, 11:02 PM

My Avatar is a projection of my dark humor I tend to have.

**ESFP** · 11-14-2010, 11:53 PM

I chose something to give others the impression of me that I want them to have. Lions are an attractive symbol, and I wanted an animal for the modesty. He looks relaxed, alert, and friendly.

**Operator** · 11-15-2010, 12:21 AM

Mine is a reflection of one of the few things I genuinely enjoy doing and I like being a viewer.

**Samoan Corleone** · 11-15-2010, 02:03 AM

Icy-cold, yet one of the good guys.

**NovXI** · 11-15-2010, 03:26 AM

A reflection of my interest in sci-fi space babes and art.

**TenochAcampicht** · 11-15-2010, 04:58 AM

I look like my avatar, I have the same expression when something amuses me.
Only difference is, I don't have long hair.

**oodlesofnoodles** · 11-15-2010, 09:46 AM

Neither - I thought it looked funny... I like to tell people that's what I actually look like...
