As I've been reading posts, I've been trying to figure out what different peoples' avatars &/or signatures are of or from. Instead of pm'ing everybody, I thought it might be a nice little topic, maybe I'm not the only one who is scratching their head & thinking "WTF?"
I think mine's obvious, but I'll go first anyway. Majin Vegeta from Dragonball Z. The best character in the entire series
Ah, well in that case. That is something I haven't heard of.
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
-I, Robot (Asimov)
Well, the answer's going to change a lot as I tend to switch mine out quite a
bit. Currently, it's a scene from Weird Al's "Weasel Stomping Day" music
video off of his latest album "Straight Outta Lynwood".
I've found that if I stick something in my avatar it encourages me to update my cel page. I tried to get away from doing that, but that made me go back to hardly updating at all.
But the reason I'm not updating now though is because I don't have any time with this new huge anime season. In the time it takes to update, I could squeeze in a couple extra episodes of anime viewing instead.
My aatar is Ed's internet search browser from Cowboy Bebop and my signature is Bruce Campbell's character "Ash" from Evil Dead and Army of Darkness but in videogame form.
Mine is Aya, from Weiss Kreuz ... my favorite anime character, ever.
...
And, Cheetos.
...
Yes, I know it's strange. It's based on a Live Journal joke about how Aya hangs around in my Bish Closet because I give him free Cheetos. A friend made it for me, and, somehow, it seemed like the perfect mascot avatar for my LJ. Then, I decided I loved it so much that I used it over here, too. It always makes me laugh.
What a fun topic! I was wondering where a few of the avatars I've seen are from, and I'm happy I've seen 4 of them answered already! (you dorks )
My avatar is from Sailor Moon, of the insane maniacal villain of S season, Professor Tomoe. He's an interesting character, because he resorts from his 'normal-looking' self into this 'insanity-mad-professor' being. Can you guess which being is featured in my avatar?
*evil cackle*
I made the avatar myself in PSP, just took a screencap of him and manipulated with it a bit.

"Anyone who sees me has a date with his maker." - Shinigami
"WHAT!??! Men in pink!? How bizarre!" - Vegeta

Camus, the Aquarius Gold Saint from Saint Seiya. Why him? First, I think his character design is the best of all the characters in the series - in particular he has those strange double eyebrows - and he is supposed to be French
I guess the author chose his name and nationality from Albert Camus, the writer.
Well mine is Kyo from Fruits Basket , being a cat person it seems to fit me well.
"Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment." Harlan Ellison
And now that you've got me thinking about it, my avatar has been tragedy-laden Kazuki for a looooong time! I probably should switch, just to confuse everyone.
