Cut the chain of lies you’ve been feeding my veins

(Listen)

Hi loves!  I know it’s been a few days since I last blogged, but I’ve just been busy lately and haven’t managed to get around to it!  I’ve had a lot of people asking me to do portraits for them, and once I spend so much time editing photos the last thing I want to do is figure out what to blog.  It can get time consuming when you’re an indecisive girl like me, haha!  I’ve also been RPing my butt off mostly at The Fallen (which is literally my home now, I rent land there & that is where my pictures were taken today!) and just had a roam around for the first time at Sector: Sindulgence, the newest cyberspace RP sim Kioko just opened.  Needless to say, I’ve been broadening my horizons in SL and remembered today it had been a while since I’d given you anything fun to look at!

SO, with some newness, here we go!

Once Upon A Time…

(Listen)

Hello loves!  So today’s post is not quite so much about fashion, because I was inspired from another source instead that I’m super excited to share with you, that source being the sim that I have taken up RPing at!

The Fallen is a Sim that’s only been open a short amount of time – approximately 2 months give or take, and has brought together some of the most absolutely amazing minds of the RP community.  I have honestly thoroughly enjoyed the time I’ve spent there, and so I wanted to talk a little about it today because the whole point of blogging what we see in SL is to alert everyone we know to the awesomeness that can be found out there!

First things first, the owner & creator of the Fallen is this fellow named Dominic Darkmatter.  He’s pretty epic.  I’m not going to write much about him because it’s cheesy since he’s my boyfriend (though, he wasn’t at the time I applied to RP there!), except to say that you all should know the entire concept and pretty much everything else I’m going to write about this place is due to his amazingly talented & creative brain.  So yes, now that we’ve got that covered…

The Fallen takes place in the fictional city of Charm, and the entire sim itself is a Dark Urban playground that takes place ten years after a war between Angels & Demons, in which the Demons came out the victors, ready to reclaim Heaven until they realized that both Lucifer and God had mysteriously disappeared.  Charm, of course, is a city in which we find ourselves as characters dealing with the aftermath of that war.  The actual backstory to The Fallen is so intricately weaved, so incredibly detailed and such a labyrinth of classic mythology and new fabricated stories that it would literally take me forever to type it all here, so I’m going to stop there and let the rest of you do the research yourself if you’re interested!

There are approximately six races to choose from, each race having various ‘subraces’ or classes, if you will, that help you determine how your character will be fleshed out.  In addition to that, each race has been thoughtfully given its own ‘psychology’, if you will, to help players really figure out the motives behind each race in Charm, along with basic strengths & weaknesses for character creation.  And on top of that, as if it weren’t enough, there is also a detailed compilation of how magic appears and can be used within Charm.  There is no meter in Fallen – this is no CCS or DCS sim, no combat huds, just straight up creativity that doesn’t rely on whether or not you’re lagging or how fast you can click a mouse.  But enough, because honestly me rambling about it won’t convince you to try it out.  I really do encourage anyone interested in RP to head over to Fallen & check it out for yourselves!  As with other RP sims, observer tags are provided for anyone interested in exploring what Fallen has to offer.  But I am sincerely proud of Dom & everyone involved in helping this sim come to fruition– watching the numbers grow over the past few weeks or so has been amazing, and I’m honored that I get to be counted among the numbers of people who spend so much time in a place that was created with so much love and excitement!

SO, with allllll of that said, the pictures I have for you today are of me in my RP gear, taken on-site, to show you around the City of Charm a little bit!  My character is an Angel, so I wore my wings for the occasion.  Also, I hope you enjoy the snow (which Dom was so freaking excited about, hooray weather systems in SL!) that makes Charm so festive :P So, as always, I hope you enjoy!

Mermaids and Nagas and Elves, Oh My!

So today I wanted to blog a little bit, NOT about fashion, well sort of.

Kioko Kumaki, owner of Panda Express, has spent the past year re-doing her sim to create basically the most amazing RP sim you have ever beheld, NeverWhere.  And, I am more than pleased to tell you, that it is OFFICIALLY open.  So you need to check it out!  A little about NeverWhere?

If mermaids, naga, hybrids, elves, cannibals, drow and pirates interest you at all, this is where you want to be.  There is so much to see and do, and the RP is already exciting and we’re only on day 2 of the sim being open to the public!  Please come check it out!  There are observer tags for those of you not sure if you’re interested in the RP world, but I really do think you should come take a look!

I am the GM/Faction Leader for the Sea Witches, aka, the “darker” Mermaids.  So for my LotD, I decided to provide you with a little insight to my character’s look!

Finding quality mermaid tails in SL has been a difficult endeavor.  There are tons out there but most are not anatomically correct and the others are just so silly looking!  I am so proud of the mers I have already seen swimming around in NeverWhere because so far they’ve all been h-h-hawwwwt!

So here’s a picture of me with the Elf Faction GM, Dodge :P

Anyway, onto the look(s)

I hope you all enjoyed the look!  Feel free to IM me in world for questions about NeverWhere, but I do beg you all to go and check it out yourselves!  It is located HERE, along with faction posters and tons of information in general.  Plus it’s linked to the Panda Express mainstore, so HAPPY SHOPPING!  :D
