in case you dont want to read all this crap, It's supposed to be a British Redcoat in hell: http://www.gaiaonline.com/avatararena/?mode=vote&postid=4557&key=56rgz6

I had a long story typed up but I had no idea there was a 1000 character limit to the description so when I clicked 'back' to save what I'd written then cut it down it was gone! Sooo...you'll just have to take a look at the shortened description:

Infantryman Jonathan Willoughby of Her Majesty's Royal Infantry, snuck about his own encampment and slit the throats of his fellow soldiers as an act of defiance against the crown. He snuck across with severed heads to the Revolutionary camp where he was lauded for his bravery by the lower class soldiers. The next day they fired the heads back at the British out of their cannons.

His punishment in Hell is to have his head blown up repeatedly by gunpowder inside a steel head trap as a reminder of his actions.

I hope this goes over well with the general Gaia consensus, but I can see it being a little too much to think about for some, or they just won't appreciate the history. Sure I made it up, but in the original I had it set at Yorktown in October 1781, and there was a whole backstory for the character. He was a pirate and he'd been conscripted into the army and was treated much worse as an infantryman than he had as a hand on his old ship. And before this he was in a position to sometimes send money back to his aging mother, but then he no longer had the ability to do so. He'd gotten news that she'd died (which was actually false) the day before he decided to murder those men. So in addition to the irony of going insane and killing them under false pretenses, I also like the double irony of him being punished for killing soldiers while a war was going on. The idea is that the battle may not have been won without his actions and therefore the Revolutionary War may have never been won as this occurred on the night before the final battle of the war (until a bit later...as you know).

Well... I'm a bit shy for asking you for votes, but maybe you'll like it.
It is my own avatar, with some short words about her. Yeah, I made a short story for my own avatar. Nothing really thematic (assassins, goddesses, magicians), but a character I have in mind for writing a story.
Here it goes her description (you'll see it's really short):

All alone, she has nothing but nightmares, and only the visions of the lover she's dreaming of can calm her heart. So frail and delicate she waits for him, a tiger as her only protector. Life took her sight away, but could never take her hope.

Hope you like her!

Hi, I'm in the arena this week dressed like you see me right now. This is the story:

Marlia was just an ordinary girl. The alchemist she went to told her that the potion would make the man she loves realize her eternal beauty. So she went to wait in the bamboo glade behind his house. As she saw him approach she sipped from the potion bottle.
As you can see the alchemist was right, her beauty graced this man's life for many years, the alchemist or a cure for her condition were never found, and she's now been in the family for generations.

Please vote if you like my story or avatar, Thanks mrgreen

I'm in the Avatar Arena right now. You don't have to vote for me, though. Apparently I need to "get some creativity" (see comment 2). Anyway, if you are nice enough and/or actually LIKE my avi, I would love it if you would vote!

Well, after trying this, and judging by the comments I've had and looking at those that vote...its a bunch of 10 year olds that want to see something completely ridiculous with no thought put into it whatsoever. The most horrible av's can win (and they do if you look at past winners). So far I've had a series of great comments to the effect of

quite charming avatar
