Decided to change the severed head to the Doom Marine holding a severed demon head. Why you ask? Because I feel like playing Doom right now with a particular brutal, gory, violent WAD.
Since you talk about Asia so much I thought it was the picture of the Okinawan man whose mom is Japanese and dad was a white American soldier. His passion in life is that he's trying to preserve the endangered Okinawan language Uchinaguchi, and he only speaks Japanese and Uchinaguchi. Actually, now that I see his picture he looks nothing like the guy in your avatar.
Decided to change my Doom Marine avatar to Mad Pierrot from the anime known as Cowboy Bebop. Rather deadly character from the show since he was experimented on to be a deadly assassin. Too bad for those behind it, his mind regressed to that of a child, killing everyone he came across.
My avatar is part of a panel from the manga Uzumaki. You see the town has been taken over by an evil spiral, and the people have rebuilt all the houses into a single spiral building which is now crammed full of people. And the main characters are trying to get inside and the people inside are all "no you can't come in" but there's something (I think snail people) trying to kill them so they feel very compelled to get inside and they finally find a way to get in and they find: my avatar.
Canadian hardcore punk band Burning Love's first album, Songs for Burning Lovers. The blood-writing on the cover says "ALL MY LOVE RETURN TO ME", and that's pretty relevant to what I'm going through in life. Good album, too.
