Second Life: 01

This is my second life.. and I can fly! I'm completely new to this software, although I have played on MMOPG's before whilst at school, but this is different. There are many more freedoms that the user has, i.e. complete customisation of the avatar, and the ability to create objects in a variety of different shapes and forms.
So far most of what I have done has been experimentation in order to become more familiar with the software and how it functions, this has ranged from exploring the various areas of second life, talking with other users and seeing what’s available for download and customisation of the avatars and their environment.
Initially I tried to make my character look like me, but it was harder than it seemed so I resorted to making just a standard looking male. However, I do have some ideas of what I want the avatar to look like after some more time in Second Life, I want it to show an alter-ego in a physical form, so something I’m not but am capable of becoming, reason being that I think this has more to do with self exploration than making a normal looking version of myself.
