How do you see/hear other forumites?

Is it just text and an avatar, or is there an image formed out of the way they post? What do others "look" like in your mind's eye? How does their "voice" sound? Feel free to share both general info and specific cases. I'm also not against people using this thread to ask about themselves.

Text and an avatar.

Although I've always imagined fifth as kind of fat and blonde for some reason.

No special visual images for anyone else, though.

DFM, well... His image in my minds eye is Edward Elric in a straitjacket, making twisted webcomics on his labtop with his teeth.

I have some of you on facebook. Thats my mental image of you. All of you a few facebook pictures. As for your voices, I just imagine CT's voice from his songs and put them in your tablet.

Everyone looks and sounds the same in my communist world!

What?

But yeah, usually avatars for me. Usually the "mood" expressed in the avatar slightly influences the mood I perceive in the text, which can really throw me when someone drastically changes their avatar.

Then neither am I! Although to be fair, I'm not expecting much better than this.

Every guy usually carries the same guy voice in my head, and every girl has about the same girl voice, I think. As for what they look like, well, I've only thought of doing that for like, Fifth and CJ. Fifth's character keeps changing to me; First I thought he was a white guy, then I thought maybe he's a black guy, then I wondered if he was an Asian, but now I'm thinking he's just a computer algorithm set loose upon us. And CJ where's a hoodie?

Everyone here should know how I look and sound, or at least, I'd hope so.

That's why I tend not to change mine in big ways. I, myself, in sprite form, am a constant in all of them.

I came from Gaia, so an avatar is like a face to me. I literally recognized everyone's avatar based on their hair, face, and different sets of outfits. It was like having mini real people in front of you. Text turns into voices for me, though. It's based on how people sound when they type. They aren't realistic voices. More like representative/symbolic ones.

For some reason until I first saw her fangirlishness, I always pictured CJ as a 25 year old guy. With a beard.
