Ok the flag above is the Blood Raiders flag soo what is the flag in the background of my character?? does it belong to any specific race or anything or is it just a flag CCP put in the game? I can't find anything about the images on Google or anything and I cant find it on the wiki so could someone help me?

Preferably a CCP or GM something..

A) Its called a pennant and not a flag when it hangs down.

B) The pennant in ur background is a generic skull thingy for the omgrawr gate campers amongst us and is not affiliated with any npc pirate group.

Actually, it's a decorative Blooder pennant, as far as I remember.

I recall this question being asked before on the Eve-Library a long time ago.

Thanks Verone, I'll accept your reply as I know you follow(ed) the RP side of things in EVE. Especially piracy

Looking closely at the item it appears to be some sort of fur, hide or skin (human?!!?OMG!!) with the design on.

Also would it not be more accurate to call it a banner, not a pennant

You asked a question and I gave the answer I thought was correct as it has been discussed before in various places. Sorry if I offended you with my bit of correction about the terminology. ugh

A quick search for "banners" on google shows your selection to be in the minority. for example

Banner Shapes and sizes

I draw your attention to "wide skyscrhaper" which seems to be EXACTLY the same proportions as the items in the background of the OPs avatar image

Yes banners can also be vertical to suit the available display space but the predominate defining shape for those are a flat bottom. Pennants always have pointy bottoms.

Uh, if you're going to get into the semantics of banners versus pennants, i think something more formal than "common banner ad sizes" would be advisable. You know, the taxonomy of things like this has been around for centuries.
