I just use avatars that I feel reflect my personality and interests. On this message board, I use them to reflect my gaming interests, which change with my moods. I try to leave the ones I pick around for a while though (maybe a few months) so people can get used to associating them with me. I do change them though intermittently to give people more perspective on me over time.

So far on this message board I've used avis from Gone Home (my favorite game of all time), Night in the Woods (my favorite game from this year), Cosmic Star Heroine (mostly to identify myself with my age cohort), and obviously Metroid at present (the franchise that first got me into gaming, and which just happens to have a new installment forthcoming). On other message boards, I sometimes use game characters, but often not. For example, my current avi on one is a stylized image from the Wonder Woman movie, while I have also used YPG iconography in places to highlight my support for the Kurdish anarchists in Syria.
