Just a couple of days after Sophrosine invited me to do Digital People and Avatar Fame panel at Dr. Dobbs Island with her, I got that, either schizoid of female, impulse to make some changes in my life. It started quite innocently, I had to took some photos for my old line of tattoos and, for that occasion, took a bit different skin and a wig. While I was editing the snapshots I fell in love with myself (again?). It was so refreshing to see my own ass with different shadows, but it was also dangerous to think about how my eyes look like under the bangs of my demo haircut. I was so close to betray my mohawk, one of the things I've considered irreplaceable for the most of my life. Some kind of trademark if you like to speak in those terms.
But, we all have to change from time to time, and I really liked that feel of freshness after I got back from shopping, changed my hair, put some new piercings and unpacked the bags with the new clothes. Soon, I've learned that I was right about the hair. I teleported yesterday at Diversionarium and Natsumi (who keeps name tags off) thought I was a stranger until Soph called my name.
Yes, I know my new look will cause some confusion in the days to follow, but we've just started to play. As Argent said we are different facets of the same diamond. It would be pity and shame not to let my other facets shine as well.
I did have several avies but I used to stick with one at the time. I kept them separated and tried not to confuse friends and the other people who meet me from time to time. Until now. I share many of the questions Tiana was wondering about when she considered having a male avatar. This time it is not about genders but about an identity. Can you get along with all those different persons under one name? And… can I? Whoever I am and whatever I means in this context of multiple personalities (or consortium as Torley likes to call it). There is just one way to find out.
i like the new look girl. it’s all you at the Core love. shine on you crazy diamond. …wasn’t that timothy leary?
The only thing I will (probably) never change is my body shape tough from time to time I feel a kind of reject for my being so tall… Apart from that, I firmly believe that every avatars has his/her/its style and mostly depends by the human behind. Take dandellion as an example, I know she would be that fantastic and terribly smart person she is even in a nasty dwarf avatar!
So don’t be afraid to change!
Oh and you’re extremely beautiful now, too :P
I love the new look, hon – but you’re you no matter what, like EnCore says!
I’m in that phase of settling deeper into the same look: one skin, hair and eyes, with color variations. It’s really working for me for now, but I know there’s going to come a time when I’ll shake up the look- go blue skinned again, radically change my hairstyle – change is good!
Thanks for the support and for the compliments :p
I am going to need it. It is a bit hidden in the text but we’re talking about multiple avatars here.
but we’re talking about multiple avatars here.
If you mean a change in your in-world personality as well as appearance, it makes sense. You’ve seemed a bit different since your enforced vacation – in a good way, mind you. I think it’s something that happens when we’re out of world for any length of time.
And you look great, by the way.
::Argent out::
mhmmm… I mean. ;)
I’m still going through the shattered stage… There are all this beings inside of me, often not really compatible with each other. Sooo… no, not possible to melt all of them in just this single representation of me ! ;)
Sand, do you use alts or different avatars with different personalities under the same name? Or you torture all of them inside you forcing them to be one?
I tried to do it in just one avatar. She was silly and rebel… and she became a reference in her national community, lol – so when I last looked at her she had became this friendly dynamic full of projects terribly busy young lady, hehehe. Then I knew it wouldn’t be possible, so I took a step aside and decided that sometimes I’m a tortured lonely neko, others I’m a fae filled with wonder imaginary stories I spread to every ear I can hold to, and still others I’m this half-ghostly punkish someone who enjoys going to clubs and annoying everyone with all sorts of toys (this person has a record in bans, btw, hehehe).
So I guess no, no torure at all, only schizophrenia (mmm… bad spelling I’m sure), hehehehehe
mmmm… that sounds nice. I am a fan of schizophrenia. :p
