Backstories for your Ref/Avatars, plus why you used them in the first place.

[OssieTheOstrich]

So I noticed that a few members like Mors and maybe Gatete have a backstory for their avatars, and since I talked about my avatar's backstory on Discord, I thought of making a thread about avatar backstories, as well as the reason of why you used them in the first place.

Ostrich's backstory:
Removed due to it being corny.

Why I used the Ostrich.
I have a plush of the ostrich that I got when I was little, and since considering that I liked birds, I thought of using it.

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Completed), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (In development), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (In development))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, in development)
Angry Birds Slingshot Frenzy (In development)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (In development)
Super Hilda DX (In only conceptual phase)

Yes, I am aware that I have about 6 or so fangame projects currently in development at the same time. And yes, I am also aware that all of this is very ambitious.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)
