My avatar in Second Life sort of resembles myself, but not fully. Body size and such things aren’t quite accurate, but the way my avatar dresses, is just like me. The first thing I see is a Yankees flat hat on backwards. I love hats, whether it is my Mizzou hat or a Broncos hat or the Yankees hat my avatar wears, I just love to wear hats. Next is the Invader Zim t-shirt that I am wearing. Along with a t-shirt, wearing jeans is just like me in real life. I also have acquired a pair of cool shoes to wear. My avatar has short brown hair and blue eyes, just like myself. I am taller and skinnier as my avatar than in real life, this is because this is what I would like to look like.
My first impression when I saw my avatar was bland. I had looked just like every other male avatar that was in our class. I immediately had to change myself to look different from everyone else. I chose to change my avatar to semi resemble my real self. As I have described, the personality and clothes of my avatar are like me, but the physical aspects aren’t so true.
I always log in with the same appearance as this is me, but sometimes I like to change my clothes to change things up. I like to switch between a t-shirt and jeans to maybe a suit or a sweat suit.
I have spent $1 on clothes for my avatar. I was in a free clothes shop which also had some hats and shoes that had to be paid for. I asked around and a nice lady gave me $1 so that I could buy my Yankees hat and my shoes. I was very happy that she gave me this money so that my avatar could be complete.
I am very happy with the way that my avatar looks. It resembles me but also resembles what I am training for my body to look like. This gives me some motivation to keep working out and achieve my results from running and lifting.
I did not ask anyone else for input on my avatar design as I like to do things on my own. Although, I have asked people to criticize the way my avatar looks compared to me in real life, and most people have liked it a lot.
The only change that I have been unable to make is with my hair. I can’t quite get it perfect to the way I like. Other than that, everything has gone good creating my personal avatar!
I chose to take this snapshot of myself near a picture of President Obama as he has just been inaugurated and this is a very important current event.
