I am Avatar

For my adventure in a virtual world I have chosen Kaneva as my realm to satisfy my digital wanderlust. Representing my analog self is Rubick, a precocious little scamp with a devilish grin, blue eyes and a bad ass in your face attitude who takes no ones grief and calls no man mister. Rubick, as the name may suggest, is a puzzle wrapped in a form fitting t-shirt. While he is a smart guy, he has no real goals for himself other than to get out of bed and who's only real motivation comes from the idea that he will win the lottery three consecutive times even though he refuses to buy a ticket. While some may think of him as a digital burn out, he is a smooth talker and can squirm out of many a dicey situation. This probably comes from his easy childhood in which both parents were to busy running their internet prostitution ring in order to instill any values or work ethic into young Rubick. How ever after hitting it big on the penny slot machines in Reno, it would seem that our hero has scrounged up enough money to move into his nice little place on Kaneva st. Welcome to the good life, and so our story begins...

I started with a dance party....this for better or for worst is what happened..
