Sweet God, I've swapped computers so much, I don't even know what most of my old avis looked like.

Here's the oldest stuff I have saved in my closest:






Aaaaand this is what I was wearing when I came back to my account:




So probably most of this is from around 2012

[Yeata Zi]

Love seeing these clunky throw backs!

[Lazarus Larkin]

I use old items all the time because honestly, I usually like them better than newer ones. I actually don't like the colors and shading on new items and I HATE LEG MODS.

[Luna Proudfoot]

I have an "Old School Gaia" collection, a few choice faves:


1. love those og vivid greens, fresh grass skirt and green visor combo, fairy wings as a status item
2. angelic item showcase, very pwetty, gold shop kimonos >>>
3. my goofy a** lol

Trend Alert! handheld items! staffs! wands! scepters!!

[lizviolets]

Like this?

This is the only thing I look like anymore-it's all I wanted in 2004 and I couldn't afford it, but I can now!

Ahh, I remember that scarf was what everyone was gagging for. And the OMG hat. Good times, good times.

Oh man...where to start. Let's see if I remember some avatars...

Earliest I remember...my very first outfit when signing up in 2005.


Bought some items from the gold shops and got one of my very first MCs; Chyaku Norisu Scarf.
(How silly I looked with a pimp hat. But it was one of the coolest hats to wear at the time.)


Created my very first Original Character based off a comic I drew in middle school.
Three of my school friends in real life joined the site and we created an Ice Warrior Team.


Created another original character that has stuck with me for many years on this website.
I based this character from Inuyasha and Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. Here is the first version of Fox Demon.


Fox Demon, evolved further as the years progressed. This is one of my most well known iconic avatars.
Even though I did not frequent the forums much, I was well known in the Towns 1 days.
(I highly doubt anyone here remembers me. If you do, please let me know so I can say hi!)


Fox Demon, evolved even more further.


And more further...


OOPS! I GOT BANNED IN 2014 TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE SUDDEN INFLATION!
TIME TO BEGIN A NEW LIFE ON GAIA.
(I was not a happy gaian during this time.)


Calmed down a bit and decided to create another original character with a new name.
Similar clothes and look, but without the fox ears and tail.
Here is Addium version 1.


Added demon horns and tail. Changed back into a female for a while.
But I was not happy during this time as I struggled with my identity.


I felt more comfortable being a male so I changed back.
I became more involved with the community as the years passed by.
I also made new friends while keeping some old friends.
Here is Addium today!


Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I remember many of these.

I don't have any of my old avatars saved, but I remember what they wore, and could reconstruct one...

My current though is my rainbow take on a classic

[Biedronka]

Avatar I'm currently wearing is oldest one I could recreate from memory. It's not particularly old and I had older designs, but I'm either missing pieces from those or don't remember everything like hairstyle, that goes with it.

[Chocobo Princess]

I am that rare, edge-case user who still actually prefers the og base/eyes/mouth/no-nose/hair/arms-n-legs. mrgreen Vintage jRPG-character style forever~~! heart

I have a Favorites folder dedicated to Gaian looks that don't have limb mods: Classic Avatars

Although I also have a Rallytar folder, this does include users sporting the nu!Rally style as well as the classic (circa 2k10) look.

My Looks only started after the release of the Favorites feature, so it does not have all my oldest looks, but it does show gradual progression of my personal style.

The first page of my Closet shows these four outfits:


This is the icon I use for places that need an icon:
This is clearly a Chocobo Princess, no? mrgreen

Oh, wait, here's the Closet-saves of very early looks:


My TED talk was pretty meh, but thank you for tuning in~! rofl
