Question about alien avatars

The alien mystery is one of the first things that made me realize that there are subjects in this world that some people would rather keep hidden.

If aliens are present and prefer to remain hidden themselves (or else they would land in public) then I suspect that they may be doing it because they're up to no good.

I can't say for certain that they are negative, but my avatar and username is a reminder for those people that would welcome them with complete trust to take a step back and consider their possible intentions.

That's an interesting take on it. You are doing a service for people, that's cool. But he's a little too cute still. I've seen some scary ones that make me block that part of the page so I can't see it while I am reading the post. heheh

My avatar can be summed up as this: My nickname is Toast, and I love Ren and Stimpy

it is simple because they are aliens (stranger) but not from Mars, you can consider my Avatar new face of an Alien too !!!

My alien avatar represents the fascination I have for the subject. I believe in my heart and soul in et life. There is ZERO CHANCE we are alone in the universe

reply to post by HomerinNC


I understand the fascination, and I agree they are definitely out there (or here even). Does it scare you though? Or do you take comfort in it, or are you neutral on it?

I am fascinated by the subject and I am very interested in it.

See now your avatar is scary to me! Why did you choose this one? Is it from a movie or something?

reply to post by Ellie Sagan




Here's to whole one, can't seem to get it fully on my avatar or background.
Honestly, I don't know where it's from. I found the picture on my desk on day and I scanned it.

reply to post by Ellie Sagan


Comfort since I feel we are from out there as well

reply to post by Jauk3


It's from a hoaxed video on YouTube of the crashed Roswell aliens

I support legion and his quest to understand shepherd commander and his motivations!

Long live the Geth!

I had to look that up since I didn't know what you were referring to. I have seen your avatar and thought it looked cool. Now I know what it's from! My sons play that game. Or used to.

I just read more about Legion on the Mass Effect wiki. It's an interesting storyline.

My Avatar is not an alien.

But it is an out of this world love story encapsulated in a picture.

It is me and Taylor Swift just hanging out on that chill vibe.

LOL. You're funny!

The avatar is my trademark as Khedwulf Greywar. Whenever I use the alias of Khedwulf, the eye always accompanies it. Eye am very much fascinated with Extra Terrestrial Sentient beings from other worlds. I intend on seeing humanity drifting through the stars soon, and I will do everything in my power to see that that happens.

Eye will state that allot of my desire is based off of an experience that I had several years back, where I had a very vivid experience. I cannot say if it was real or not, but it was real enough for me to at least dedicate my life to seeking it, or something similar to it. It changed my very way of thinking, it impacted me very deeply. It is recorded here......

www.abovetopsecret.com...

The eight syllables on my signature are actually the eight of the base syllables I remember of the pink glower language. With the rules I remember applied, they make up 1,885 words, but I do not remember all of the rules, or any of the meanings. Words are nothing but sound without meaning.

Here is one of my favorite ones Miiroiimah it is based off of the first syllable Mii. ro follows, the second part of a word has a portion of one of the eight syllables, in ro's case it is dro. iim is mii backwards, the third part of a word has a base syllable reversed. ah the fourth part of the word is is a portion of haf reversed.

I spelled the syllables the way they are to make them work smoothly with the rules applied that I remember. Perhaps the language is a concoction of my sub conscience mind in a long moment of lucid dream. Or maybe it is a fragment of a language that exists across the stars far far away, I wont propose either, it simply is part of my source of motivation at this point.

Earlier in my introduction post I said that the eight syllables were part of a language I was creating, but really I didn't come up with them and there system, at least not consciously.

Well back on topic, as for why the eye is reptilian, I don't know, I think reptilian eyes look cool.

Well, I was about to have an alien as my avatar too: because I've been interested in aliens and space since I was a kid. And just imagining being extra-terrestrial is really interesting too!

It's kind of like a quick getaway from being 'normal' and being yourself I guess, but that's my opinion

edit on 28-1-2013 by Ellie Sagan because: (no reason given)

The geth in general are an interesting "species". Basically, their story = terminator..or matrix..whatever. Basically AI taking over and murdering almost everyone on the planet for defense of their kind (aka, robotkind).
There is a bit of irony in me using it for my avatar as I am a bigtime futurist whom tends to think we need to work hard at making true strong AI for real...but the dangers aren't lost to me..so, doing it wisely, knowing we may in fact be playing god in a way...creating a new life.

Machines will in fact take over one day. It is how we deal with that day which may decide the outcome of our species. Actually, this is the overarching plot of all the mass effect series...and seems like a universal truism overall (I suspect if we do have the "aliens landing on the white house lawn" moment, it will be us meeting machines moreso than biobags.

Can we meet a machine race in space and still think of them as alive? Will we make our own machine race that claims self awareness and acknowledge it?


___
A quick snippit: Legion plays a holotape about their history. the early robot model talking to a woman. the robot asks "do I have a soul?"
It was significant to their history, not because it was the first time a machine asked the question, but because it was the first time one of the organics (the people) got scared by the question

I guess if your self aware enough to truly wonder that, then that is a good guidepost as to when something goes from toaster to person

That is true, an alien in a suit is very recognizable.... or is it?
