What the hell is a bloody Avatar?

Question

Seriously.

Answer 1

;) Myself, I believe what makes the BEST avatar is when the individual achieves a fairly-good in-depth self-portrait: I honestly worked HARD to CHOOSE the best options where mine WOULD be! :D

[I am honestly even MORE blue in my DL pic.]

Mine turned out to be an internal self-portrait combined with an external one--it looks like the sum of my self: philosophical, medical, all components considered, an image of the inadequately-breathing dead, a way of being honest with myself in regard to my overall health picture, a coping mechanism in its way [just like my nick, I think they make a good match]. ;)

I think that is the BEST way to reflect one's overall look, if one does in fact capture the WHOLE of one's *look*--looking outside AND INSIDE, the honest facts of their lives.

In that sense, I believe my avatar is a declaration that I am at peace with myself, my life, my fate, which is a gift I would wish for anyone on the path to happiness. :)


I think overall the avatar system is fun, light-hearted, and I actually appreciate the somewhat entertaining way to express my more macabre reality. ;)

I mean, where else can you find such a *cute* way to visually express that I have lost my ever-lovin' mind than that pic showing me there holding my head after it's gone and rolled off? ;)

I also appreciate that it gives ALL users the chance to sort through what they value, how they perceive themselves, how they wish to appear vs how they DO actually appear...what they hope to see in the mirror vs reality...whether they like ALL their components...whether they like THEMSELVES...key factors brought to light by your excellent question--THANKS! :D

Answer 2

First of all don't use that language it just makes you sound stupid!
Second of all it is a person you can make using Yahoo and you can use for almost anything run by Yahoo and some other things. Go to Yahoo and type in avatars in the search box and click on the Yahoo Avatars link and go from there.
Have fun!! And watch your language.

Answer 3

It's that thing to the left of all the questions, above everyone's name. It's a clever name for the icon people use to represent themselves.

A bloody Avatar would be one that has been gravely wounded.

Answer 4

Avatar

The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form.
An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning.
A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar.

Answer 5

It is the pictures you see by each person's name. You can use a picture, like I do. Or you can use a yahoo avatar. To get one, go to your profile by clicking on your name. Go down the page a bit and you will see 'edit profile'. Then you will go to a page that has 3 picture options. Choose yahoo avatar and you can have fun picking out how you want yours to look. Have fun!!

Answer 7

An Avatar is the picture of the cartoon character boy/girl you see when people answer questions. Go to avatars.yahoo.com to get your own!

Answer 8

It's the cartoon images you see next to people's names in yahoo answers. Create your own avatar here http://avatars.yahoo.com/

Answer 9

Avatars are a depiction or embodiment of someone else. The pictures on here are our depictions of ourselves. Angels are an embodiment of the Spirit of God.

Answer 10

It's the little cartoon that represents you on this board. You can create one here:http://avatars.yahoo.com/

It is also defined as: An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype.

So it's a picture of the idea of you.
