On par with my obsession with the man, the reason why I chose this avatar has a story. About a year back on the forums when I was discovering different types of metal, I came upon Devin Townsend and basically fell in love with EVERYTHING HE CREATED. On par, I was also quite immersed with the MLP stuff, so I requested a ponified version of Townsend from PeachPalette, a former member of the forums, making a pose from a picture I found.
The end result was this god of an avatar I'm using right now. I'm still grateful for it too.
When I'm not using this avatar, I'm most likely using a Jet Black avatar. Because Jet.
