New Readers: We're currently doing a side story that involves reader interaction. See here for details. The main story will resume Tues, March 13th.

 

All right! With Annie now a potential Outsider, let's figure out her age! See the poll to the right to help her decide.

We probably don't really need her Reality age, but I'm following the route I usually use to design a character and I like knowing how old the character is first. It affects a bunch of latter choices, like whether she's married or not, has to worry about parents and/or kids, and what type of emotional and maturity level can she reasonably be at. Plus, it lets me know how many years of background I got to figure out!

Also, I should note that her Reality age won't dictate how she looks in L.i.F.e.   Most avatars tend to fall in the adult range, regardless of their Reality age. To have a child or elderly look requires money, too, since it must be custom-made.

 

Also, I got fan art! Yay!! Featuring Danni by Cloud and Kleya/Kat V8 by Osaaru. Find them here.

 

And for the vote incentive, Annie learns something shocking about being an Outsider! 😈
