Mine is Jasper Stone from Deadlands.
A man who was so scary that the demon who posessed him to return him to life from beyond the grave is afraid of HIM. He's so rough that Death itself chose Stone to be his avatar. Stone is so tough that when, after a hundred and fifty years, his dark masters lost their war, they sent him back in time (with all his accumulated knowledge and powers) to exist simultaneously with his past (already badass) self, to do nothing but track down the heroes that thwarted them and put some lead in their faces. His stats (by book) are 'whatever it takes to kill the heroes.' He's so awesome, he's the cover art for the game.
Badassness.

Well, he's honest. I like the imagination of (fake) avatars, but I don't really mind pictures of people. Although yes, prettiness helps.
Mine is always a Monkey Island character (typically Lechuck or Guybrush) as Monkey Island is THE BEST. Yet to find a good one of Stan the Salesman yet though...

You know, some of the explanations of old avatars that have since been updated with new avatars are just bloody hilarious... (look at JohnHwangDD's explanation for his original avatar on page 2 with the new avatar pic).
My avatar is my namesake. The first figure I actually took some care in painting after coming back to the hobby after a 6-year hiatus. The character actually has a story... but I'll spare you that as it isn't really the point of the thread.
... which should be a cryptic enough explanation that when I update MY avatar eventually it should still pretty much make sense.
