It will be extreme weather (jeez, don't you people ever read the thread?). You can put Kaysar in a hail storm, riding a tidal wave, running away from a tornado, etc. Or how about making him a comet? :wink:

I had wanted to choose ball lightning for my extreme weather avatar but it's so rare there are hardly any pictures of it. I settled for a waterspout instead. :wink:
Ball lightning has always been one of the greatest mysteries of mankind. Since the times of the early Greeks, there have been reports of these strange balls of fire. The title "ball lightning" may actually be a misnomer; maybe it is not a form of lightning, but something else entirely. What makes the concept of ball lightning so confusing is that so many of its attributes seemingly defy the laws of nature.
Although a great number of people are beginning to believe, many people are still skeptical of the very existence of ball lightning. They argue that there is not enough scientific evidence nor sufficient recorded eyewitness accounts to prove ball lightning is a real phenomenon; however, it would seem that these arguments must be left to the uninformed. One needs only to log onto the Internet and use the keywords "ball lightning" to find numerous eyewitness accounts, many from highly respected scientists or researchers. In fact, according to a study completed in the 1960s, approximately five percent of the world's population claims to have observed ball lightning at one time or another. This may seem a small fraction until you consider that it is equivalent to the percentage of the population that has been close enough to a normal lightning strike to see its point of impact.
This information having been provided, there can be no doubt that some sort of phenomenon exists that is commonly referred to as "ball lightning." Naturally, there is an infinitesimal number of theories regarding the cause and composition of ball lightning. Yet, these can not be considered until one has a working knowledge of the basic characteristics of ball lightning.
One thing that immediately becomes obvious when compiling data about ball lightning is that its attributes can be quite varied. Many eyewitness accounts would seemingly contradict each other. For example, although ball lightning is normally observed during thunderstorm activity, reports of its occurrence in broad daylight are not uncommon. It has been seen originating at the point of impact of an ordinary lightning strike, hanging in mid-air between the ground and a thunder head, and even descending from a cloud to the ground.

I was thinking for the next theme, maybe we could do one of our pets. Even if you don't have a scanner to scan a picture of your pet, you can find a picture on the internet of a dog or cat (or any other type of pet) that looks similar to yours. If you don't currently have a pet but you'd like to have one, you could post a picture of the type you'd want to get.
Any other suggestions for the next theme?
