How many of you actually are male but have female avatars or vice-versa?
If you want to post the story behind your avatar, feel free to do so.

Awesome, first time posting on the forums again. Anyway, the first character I made on the dreamcast was a FOnewearl and I've liked that class ever since.

Usually I use an avatar to show someone cute... though I really never show that it tells others who I am... and I am mistaken for a girl a lot due to my personality.

I change quite often, but usually have a HUnewearl avatar. I'm male, but used HUnewearls for most of PSO, so made sense. Besides, I don't like any of the male classes (except RAcast).

I'm a guy but I've always used a female for my avatar. I've been mistaken for a girl many, many, many times http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

I was once mistaken for a blue-haired, elf-eared beauty. I've worn female avatars ever since.

What if you're a guy with a guy avatar, or a girl with a girl avatar? XP

Then you blatantly assume that the person is the same gender as the the avatar. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Personally, I usually swap between various HUmar/FOnewm avatars. I'd like to use a FOmar one sometime, but I don't like many of the FOmar avatars in the database.

Well, right now my avatar is a spud, and for good reason, but I had a HUnewearl there and I had Nei there for a while, and so on. The reason though, goes back to my username, which is the way it is, because I wanted people to be able to recognize me from the site, back in the day, on PSODC.

I am more commonly known on PSO as my RAmarl or HUnewearl, artillerist and kuribo respectively. Thus, having a RAmarl to show my favorite class simply made sense.

Mine's just an eyeball, but I think it belongs to that EP3 RAmarl.

I guess I can't vote since I fall into the male w/ male avattar category.

I chose him because he both looks like a warrior, and looks like he was drawn in EGA old style graphics. (EGA = 16 Colors, so it's not far off) That, and I just like the picture.

Avatars I usually try to go with something more relavent/personal to me. While in game I usually go with the females.

If I remember correctly from Phantasy Star II, the girl was the weapon shop, while the guy was the armor shop, and now I can't remember who the item shop guy is. I know that person who could ressurect you was freaky x.x

well, i never know what avatar to choose. i've picked this one, coz' i'm riding a modem and the pictures load really slow. so skipped few pages fo 'em and found one that doesn't look too bad http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

that's all, whole story

i thought my avatar fits because Zelutos already has the avatar i'd want if i had full options.
and then i saw the one Outrider had.
but then i saw Outrider.
so i took an Avatar of Break.
and i switched the day a tenth person had mistaken me for a girl.
it just makes so many humorous implications without a word, while looking cool.
can't beat that.
next, if i change my avatar, i think i'll choose a female character because there's one i particularly like.

Everyone thought I was a guy when I had my new avatar.

So I fit in the
"female with male avatar" type that no one cares about. Well, cuz girls don't exist on the internet.

But, it would have been funny if I was a guy with my current avvy.

I dunno if it's a guy in the PS games.


But nowadays, it's Sailor Mercury :>
