...ok, well, that is a question... not one I was expecting though... I didn't make the avatar; I found it. Why it's kicking, I don't know, but it's probably because kicking is cooler looking than punching.

As to why it is a monk: if you meant why I chose a monk for my avatar, it's because I 1.) Liked the image, and 2.) I'm a martial artist myself... though Krav Maga is something no Monk would EVER practice.

Any other questions?

Hahaha, I see--Monk sprites are far cooler than Taekwon sprites anyways (if you're unaware, it's a sprite/based on a sprite from the MMORPG Ragnarok Online), so it's WAYOK!
Plus, it's admiringly well-animated, and the bobbing strand of hair is the proverbial icing on the cake (I think I actually have the same animation buried somewhere in my computer...).


That said, it's cool that you're a martial artist yourself! I've personally been thinking to look into taking that same Krav Maga and Akido (yes, I'm aware that the two diciplines completely contradict eachother), but I'm way out of shape and I don't think I could manage time for either responsibly at the moment.  So they're filed away under "things to do" with learning violin, CG animation, and acting lessons, etc..  I've always been of the thought that if one was to get into a fight, especially so if there is something important at stake, that victory or sufficient completetion of an objective (ex. hindering a threat long enough to get you and/or someone else out of danger) comes far before any sense of honor.

You're a writer? And of things like fanfics, too? Whee, another writer friend~ 
I'm personally trying to write things of my own, but I keep getting snagged with the translation from 'concept of what happens' to 'getting it out in word format,' although my writing skills are at least solid, and I can do well past that snag. Do you ever have this problem?

You seem like a very interesting person, and I would very much like to befriend you~, although I must admit that I occasionally speak in terms that do not translate to male well (my guy friends often get confused or left behind while we talk).

PS: @Joe: Nowai! Lord Knights! RAWR

....or at least 2-hander/spear hybrid Knights.

Monks follow as 2nd coolest, and Paladins are 3rd, such as the eternal pan-server Aoi, who usually ends up as the uselessly-underpowered Agi/2H-Spear Pally.
