26 and counting...

Photo taken back in 2010

Alts are one of the most controversial topics in SL that I've found. "You were hiding from me on an alt"... "You've been alting around."... "Why didn't you tell me that you had an alt?"...

Well, imagine if you had 26? How would you explain that to your SL partner? Well, you are looking at someone that has 26 alts (Last time I counted, I'm sure there's more now.) It's actually a funny story as to why I have as many alternate characters that I do. You see, I used to be really addicted to these things called "Lucky Chairs". They're chairs that pop up with a different letter every 10 minutes and if your name started with that letter, you got a prize.

You can see where the 26 alts came into play... I have A-Z and then some. I would use my alts to bump the chair so eventually the letter of my name would pop up. They were only supposed to be for the purpose of getting my main character new things. Overtime though, I began to flesh out each alt individually as I found a need. "This alt of mine has a really cute sci-fi outfit and I've been meaning to check out that Star Wars RP sim... I guess I could just drop a few lindens on a skin and an AO."

I guess you could say in SL, I have a bad case of Multiple Personality Disorder. :)

But I decided since I have so many alts with so many different lives going on in SL, I could document their adventures here. 

Many aspects, many alts, the same player.

I'll be answering the question, 
"How would your second life be changed if you had a different start?"

Evolution of the Avatar

So recently I saw a post on the Second Life Forums from 2011 where people were posting timelines of their avatar from the day they started to today. It was really funny to see all the different faces, we really have come a long way from 2006.

In light of this, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and try to dig up some of my old pictures from early avatar-hood. It was... crazy... to say the least. Here's my 2006-2014 timeline - I can't believe I let myself walk around dressed like I was back in the day.


How far has your avatar come since you first started Second Life?

Carpet... Such a hassle.

So SilverJinx and I are currently working on the new arcade that we'll be putting in over the next month. I'm really excited about the ideas of tickets, games and just plain fun! I'm sort of going on the blacklight theme right now, but if that's too flashy I have some other options picked out.

So which carpet do you like best for the Arcade?

Option A

Option B

Or another carpet entirely? We're sort of going for the retro 80s look if you couldn't already tell.
Let me know in the comments below!

Character Sketches

Some rough sketches for an idea that SilverJinx told me about last night. I won't ruin the surprise... but I will tell you guys it's going to be awesome. I can't wait to get started on this new project of ours.
